brought in; people rested from labor;
fires were built to Baal-fres of thanks
giving for the seasons close which
brought harvest in abundance. Affairs
were lighted, and after midnight rites
on October 81, fire was carried to every
dwelling by the people. The old fires
were quenched and the new en-
throned. They were kept burning for
a year-until the return of Samhain.
Fire blessed the household.
From this custom, and that of burn
ing a sheep, arose the practice of
delv:ng into the future. In the dying
sleeps struggles were read omens of
the morrow Evil spirits that came
out of Samhain in Ireland lived for
the rest OF the year in Cruchan Cave
in Connaught, called the "hell-gate of
Ireland" On this yearly date the
cave was opened and evil spirits in
the form of .'copper-colored birds
stealing babies from their cribs, leav-
ing in their places COLLINS and hideous
changelings These evil spirits had the
reputation of being very cunning and
the peasantry in order to get rid of
them, and around their evil visitatiOns,
performed various and sundry acts of
Precipitation. They boiled egg shells
in the sight of the changelings, treat
ed ill the children left them and did
other weird and strange things.
The Celts placed great store in
tests. Samhain was the great time for
these. Individuals were blindfolded
that they might be the better guided
by fate.
In the practice Of these supersti-
tions the Celts were not alone. They
were universal over Europe in the
ages previous to the Christian era.
Christianity and the Roman emperors
put them to rout. Augustus forbade
his subjects to be initiated into the
Druidicial worship when he occupied
Britain. Tiberius drove the priestly
cult from Gaul and Emperor Claudius
stamped out their belief. The Romans
pursued the Druids ruthlessly to the
Island of Mona, near Wales, where
they exterminated them at one fell
blow and destroyed their oaks.
Christianity in time succeeded the
Druidicial worship. Onto the old re-
| ligion and old festivals were grated
new names and new customs. The
| midsummer festival was dedicated to
st. John; Luguasad gave way to Lam
mas. The berries of the mountain
ash or rowan tree, which had been
food for Tuatha, "the people of the
goddess Danu." now served to exercise
the very spirits in whose honor they
at one time had been eaten.
All Hallows, or All Saints Day. on
the church calendar, was assigned to
November /. In the beginning it was
celebrated in May. the month in which

'f Al Simmons, but they have number of batsmen who can break up the ball game, including Chick Hafey, George Watkins and Frank Frisch, who doesn't expect an at tack of lumbago to affect his work.
 Unless Mack upsets expectations, the Athletics will place their pitch ing burden almost entirely on the shoulders of Grove and George Earnshaw, iron man right-hander, with Walberg and Shores in reserve. The Cardinals have four or five first class boxmen ready to shoot at the opposition. The list is headed by the crafty Grimes but includes Flint Rhem, Bill Hallahan, Sylyes- ter Johnson and Jess Haines.
 So far as the master ~minding goes, Mack has big edge on Street. Connie was plotting pennant winners before Gabby broke into the big show and became famous as the battery mate of Walter Johnson at Washington and the first man to catch a ball dropped from the Washington monument. This is Streets debut as a manager of d major league pennant winner but it is Mack's seventh bid for world series honors.

Forty-fve years ago the first big

Forty-five years ago the first big world series was played. There was great interest in New Britain as Tom Burns, locay boy, played third on the Chicago White Stockings who won National League Pennant in 1885.
 They met the St. Louis Browns, winners of the American Associa- tion pennant. The series ended in row after each had won games
 Both teams won in 1886 and play ed world series. A fluke play, a wild pitch by Clarkson gave the Browns the series. Thousands of dol- lars were lost by Chicago sports.

 The Browns went into their sec. cond series as follows: Bushong, catcher; Foutz and Carruthers, pitchers; Robinson. Comiskey and Latham. on the bases; Gleason, short stop; Curt Welsh. Tip O'Neil, Nichols, fielders. Von Da Ahe was was captain.
 The White Stockings lined up as follows: Clarkson and Mccormick pitchers; Mike Kelly. catcher; Pop" Anson, Peffer, Tom Burns, on bases and Williams on at short-stop, the famous stone wall infeld. Silver" Flint, Billy Sunday and Darympl were felders. Al spalding was owner and manager and Pop" Anson, cap- tain.
 Thousands of dollars were bet in the poolrooms as Chicago and St. Louis fans went the limit.
 The Series
 The Browns beat Chicago at Chi cago at Chicago 10-O. and S-5 and 10-3 at St. Louis. Chicago won at home 60. S-3. 11-4. Before the next game Spalding promised his team all the receipts When Von Da Ahe heard this he offered the Browns the same.
 Fluke Play In the rubber game with the score 3-3 in ninth, the Browns had q man on third. Arlie Latham was at bat with one more chance. a strike, ball or hit. He had been kidding pitcher Clarkson all through the game. Hold your base, I'll bat you in" yelled Latham. Clarkson shot a wild pitch to first and run scored.

InterseCti0nal Games Feature Program This Week-End

New York, Sept. 30 (P}-More and more the football trend seems to be toward intersectional games, with a consequent breaking away from the purely intra- sectional schedules that once were the rule.
 With only one football Saturday behind them, a half dozen eastern teams will swing into action this week against foes from other sec tions i'll battles of more, or less i'm portance.
 Heading this list will be Yale $ duel with Maryland which ma! yield another thrill similar to tn. 1913 tie these two teams played last year when the sons of Old Eli entered the game overwhelming fav- orites. Maryland showed great pow CT in crushing Washington college 60-6, and may give the Bulldogs plenty of trouble. Georgetown, under Tommy Mills coaching, looked none too strong against Mt. St. Mary's and must inl- prove to turn back Loyola of Chi cago in night game at Chicago Fri day night,
 Davis and Elllins. beaten at Far go by North Dakota State, battles North Dakota University at Grand Forks the same night while Du- quesne is entertaining Detroit Tech at Pittsburgh.
 Army's second start on Saturday will be against Furman, fairly strong southern outfit, but the Ca dets should win handily. Navy opens it's season against an intersectional rival, William and Mary, which plays almost exclusively a southern schedule. Oberlin of Ohio travels cast to face Rochester at Rochester and St. Johns of Maryland, classed as an eastern college, battles Vir- ginia Military to complete the day. intersectional card so far as the At lantic seaboard is concerned.
 Most of the other games are prac- tice affairs, the outstanding excep- tion being Pitts annual clash with West Virginia's mountaineers at Morgantown.
 Harvard's opening opponent, Yer mont, was soundly trounced by Am- herst and may fail to give the Crim- son even moderate workout. Am herst, with a strong small college eleven, hopes to give Princeton a fight just as it did a year ago when the Tigers barely eked out a 70 de- cision. Penn, slow in reaching form still should roll up a heavy score on Swarthmore in its first start and Baltimore hardly will provide trou- ble for Dick Harlow's Western Mary land warriors who will be making their season debut.
 All of the sections other leaders face minor opposition.

ATHLETICS HAVE
 TWO b|G FIGURES
Connie Mack and Micky Coch-
 rane May Affect Series

Philadelphia, Sept. 30 LP)-Two Of the factors that help weigh the bal ance of dope" in Philadelphia S favor in the baseball battle with St. Louis for the worlds championship
 are the man in the dugout, Connie Mack, and the man behind the bat, Gordon (Mickey) Cochrane, Mack's shrewdness and great ex-
 perience, Cochrane's aggre&siveness and masterful handling of the Az moundsmen count heavily in a short conflict where the forcing of a few breaks" at vital moments often proves decisive.
 They are factors that may have more 10 do with the outcome of xhc worlds series than the individual brilliancy of Simmons or Grove or FoXH, the fighting spirit of the Car
 dinals or the law of averages So far as the comparative figures and records go, good case can bu made out of either contender in the annual American baseball classic. i The greater experience and fine de- fense of the As, plus the confidence of their 1929 conquest, may be off set by the aggressive attack that carried the Cardinals past all ob-
 stacles to the National league peak.
 The pitching skill of Grove and
 Earnshaw may be matched by the
 curving talent of Grimes, Hallahar. Rhem andt Haines. The big bats of Simmons, Foxx. Miller, Haas anI Cochrane may play livelier basehit
 tune than the warclubs of Hafey,
 Friach, Watkins, Bottomley and Douthit.
 As club, the Cardinals have out
 hit the Athletics more than 20 points on the seasons play. With out much dispute, they also over
 came stiffer opposition in winning
 the National league flag than the
 As did in repeating in the American league. Where the Mackmen had
 only Washington to worry about most of the season, the Cardinals
 had to fight their way through three
 tough and seasoned outtits-the Robins, Giants and Cubs.
 Every regular on the Cardinals
 club has hit 300 or better, for the year, although Bottomley, Glelbert, Douthit and Adams barely got in side this figure. Boley, Bishop. | Dykes, Haas and Miller range be- tween .255 and 300 in stickworll pu.
 the cleanup wallops of Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx have a habit Of being produced when hits mean
 runs.
 The Cardinals, however, have no i backstop to compare with Cochrane
 Tn any department of play. Since
 the injury of Jimmy Wilson, St.
 Louis has relied on Gus Mancuso, a hard hitter and hard worker who is
 expected to do most, if not all of the
 catching.
