C. 0. PTS after
DC. WOMAN VOTE
Suffrage Question to Be Put
Before the National
Committee.

Votes for women in the District OF
Columbia will be urged by a commit
tee of local Republicans who will ap-
pear before the Republican National
Committee when that body meets in
this city next December. 1t will be
requested that the privilege of vot-
ing at the primaries here to elect del
"gates and alternates TO the Presi-
dental convention be extended to
women members of the party.
The committee that will present this
matter to the National Committee was
originally selected at conference or
District Republicans presided over by
~. A. Clarke, president of the Inter
state Republican Clubs. lts principal
purpose is to request that some plan
of registration be adopted to precede
the primaries. The attention Of the
national body will be called to the
conditions that resulted in some con-
fusion and scandal as a result of
promiscuous voting without check at
the last primaries of the local Re-
publicans. 1t is believed these con-
ditions can be obviated if a compre-
hensive system of registering the vot-
ers is arranged.
AS result of the decision to ask for
the voting privilege for women in the
District plans are being laid already
for the formation of several associa-
tions or clubs Of Republican women in
this city.

MORAN THANKS
BARNEY FOR TIP
Pat Would Have Unloaded
Players Had Not Dreyfus
Refused to Waive.

Cincinnati, Oct. 5.-Ring and Reu-
ther have proved themselves pretty
valuable to the Cincinnati Reds in
their drive toward the pennant. but
perhaps il might be in order for Pat
Moran to thank Barney Dreyfuss for
tipping him to the value OF these
hurlers.
Soon after Moran took hold Of the
Cincinnati club he decided to at
tach the hardware to Ring and Reu-
ther. He asked for waivers on the
hurlers and every club waived in Jig
time but Barney Dreyfuss.
When Moran learned that Barney
was willing to annex the two stars
he began to think. He had a con-
ference with Garry Hermann, and
the latter advised Moran to hold on
to the hurlers and to gle them a
thorouge trial. Garry did not force
his views on Moran. but told him to
use his own best judgment.
Moran thought the matter over.
He called Ring and Reuther in for a
heart to heart confab and the result
is now known to all the fans in the
country. 1t is hinted by reliable
parties that Moran gave Ring and
Reuther a substantial boost in SAL
ary with a warning that they would
find themselves out OF a job unless
they delivered the merchandise.

TANK CORPS IS
EASY PICKING
FOR NAVY YARD

The Tank Corps eleven from Camp
Meade proved no opposition for the
Naval Gun Factory team yesterday
afternoon in the opening game Of the
season on the Recreation Field in An
acostia. as the Machinist romped
through the treat 'em rough" outfit
by the overwhelming score of 40 to 0.
The defense of the visitors was poor
throughout the contest. as they failed
to halt any attacks by the Navy
Yard tribe. but by the way of a criss-
cross play and forward passes they
managed to squeeze three first downs
into their offense. The Naval Gun
ner's goal line was never i'm danger
of being scored upon.
Three sensational runs by Beyers
along with a sixty-yard sprint by
Carney were the features of the Navy
attack. while NJ. Turner. B. Turner,
Dyer and Luscombe showed to an ad-
vantage on the defense. The sum-

FIRST SERIES
HELD IN 1884
Detroit and Browns Made
$4,000 In IS Games
In 1887.

If the baseball magnates of thirty
years ago had any conception of the
magnitude Of the world championship
contests OF the present II was hazy
one. Still, the club owners OF the dim
past were not without imagination and
enterprise. as was proved by the
world series of 1881. in which the de-
troit sluggers and the ST Louis
Browns were the contestants.
Considering the rather negative
character Of the three contests for the
world championship that had pre-
ceded the 1887 struggle. 1t was an
event considerably in advance Of the
times.
The world series Of 1884, the first
in the history of the game. was be-
tween Providence and the Metropoli-
tans, and was limited 20 five games.
As the Grays won three in a row it
was a short horse soon curried.
The world pennant struggles of 1855
and 1896 were between the Chicago
Colts and the st. Louis Browns. and
Comiskey's sprinters tied the 1885
games were played between the two
home cities and the receipts OF both
series were less than 500 il can be
seen that the world championship as
feature OF the baseball season was
then in its infancy. to use a Brooklyn
expression
Enter Big -Four.
The Big Four and several more
terrific hitters hammered out a Ma
donal League pennant for Detroit IN
1ss7. and the men who brought Brouth-
ers. Richardson. Rowe and White
from Buffalo to the City Of the
Straits. paying the munificent sum
Of S,Joo for a quartet OF the greatest
batsmen in the history Of the national
game. evolved the idea OF a greater
world cha mpionship.
Frederick X. Stearns. president of
the Detroit club. was the originator
OF the idea that was put into effect
in the fall OF 1885, Chris Won der
Abe. then the head OF the Browns.
acceded TO the Detroit scheme, al
though he was bit afraid Of what
he thought was a daring experiment.
The Browns won the pennant of the
American Association. as was their
! custom in 1881. and then the plans
! were laid for a series to consist OF
! fifteen games. one contest to be played
in every important baseball city in
the country.
