TODAY.
GAME SET FOR 4:3O
Baptists and MethOdists Will
Battle In Deciding Game OF
Series Today - Big
Crowd Expected.
they're off TODAY.

lHSy lt vi IOudys
Today the deciding game of base
ball between the Baptists and Metho-
dists will be played at the City Lea
que park.
Keen interest is being manifested
in the contest and the largest crowd
that has ever assembled at the City
League park is expected to be on hand
for the game. Many members of the
two denominations who have been on
their vacations are coming home for
the game, so keen is the interest in the
contest.
The game will decide the champion
ship between the two classes, and both
sides are determined to win and they
are going to put forth every effort to
"bring home the bacon"
The first game was won by the Bap-
fists, score IA to 10. The Methodists
came back and won the second, score
7 to A. Now comes the third and de-
Gliding game and it will be hotly con-
tested.
Something of denominational pride
has entered into the contests, though
the spirit of friendly rivalry has not
been lost.
The same umpires, Miss Elise Lips
comb and Miss Margaret McCann,
who offciated in the last game, will
work IN the game today.

Mrs. Marcia Foss, Mother of Ex-Gov
Foss of Massachusetts,.

Boston, June J.-Mrs. Marcia Cor
della tNoble) Foss, mother of former
Governor Eugene Noble Foss and oi
Congressman George Edmund Foss OF
Chicago, died yesterday at her home
at IL Revere street, Jamaica Plain
which is directly opposite that of her
| son, the former governor. Mrs. Foss
who was s5 years of age. had enjoyed
excellent health up to about eight or
ten weeks ago, when she began to fail,
due to infirmities of age. She was
the widow of George Edmund Foss,
who died Just eight years ago, on
June 5, 1912.
in West Berkshire, Vt. about two
miles from the Canada line. She was
the daughter of the late Sylvester G.
Noble and Nancy tChaplinl Noble,
both Of whom were of old time New
England stock. She was married on
Feb. q. 1855, to George Edmund Foss,
and after few years they removed
to st. Albans, Vt, in order that their
two sons, their only children, might
receive the educational advantages Of
fered there. Both sons were graduated
from the high school at st. Albans and
later attended college, Eugene going to
the University of Vermont, and his
brother, George. to Harvard. Follow
ing their college careers, Eugene Foss
came TO Boston and his brother went
to Chicago to practice his chosen pro-
fession, law. His parents also went to
Chicago. to make their home with him.
About Ii years ago the parents. Mr.,
and Mrs. Eoss, came to Boston to make
their home near their elder son, Eu-
gene. in Jamaica Plain where they be
came well known. In 1906 they had a
notable celebration Of the golden ami
yersary Of their marriage. Mr.. Foss
died six years later; his widow had
continued to reside in Jamaica Plain
Mrs. Foss was greatly interested in
all current events and affairs of the
day and, as great reader and think
er. she kept in touch with the worlds
interests. Better than many women,
she understood politics and was inter
ested in men Of affairs and il was she
who inspired both of her sons to enter

An interesting event in her life was
when Mrs Foss was privileged to sit
in the gallery in the national Capitol
in Washington on the occasion when
her son, Eugene, took the oath of Of
flee as congressman. in 1910 The in
cident was without precedent, because
Eugene Foss, a Democrat, in taking
his oath. was escorted TO the speakers
chair, not by a member of his own
party. but by his brother, George Ed
mund Foss. a Republican congressman
from Illinois.
Mrs. Foss always had been active in |

She is survived by her two sons, seven |
and eight great grand
