New York, . Oct 5 Although thirty-one years have elapsed since the first battie for {he baseball championship of the world was won by the Providence R.I, "Grays", there were several years in which the struggle was not repeated, so that the coming contest between the Bos- ton Red Sox and the Philadelphia Nationals will be the twenty-fourth series to be played for the premier title of the diamond The inaugur- al contest in 1884 was won by the Rhode Island team, then champions of the National League, in three * Straight games from the Metropoli- tans, the standard bearers of the old A HAA Nt I CATCHER FORREST CADY "Of the Boston Red Sox, formerly with } Newark Indians, who will figure in the world's series this year. He is a good hitter. AA AAA A AA A i American Association of that year. Unavoidable lapses occurred in eight of the subsequent seasons. There Was no competition for the world's honors in 1891 or 1893. There was also a five year lapse from 1898 to 1902 inclusive, but in 1903 the Bos- ton Americans beat the Pittsburgh Nationals five games to three. The following year's championship was claimed by the Boston Red Sox by default as the New York National League club would not: permit its 1904 pennant winners to play the American League Champions. In 1905, however, the two major leagues arrived at an understanding after the matter had- been thorough- ly discussed during the winter months, and the world's champion- ship competition was placed on a so- lid basis. The National Commission assumed control of the annual series and made it compulsory for the pen- nant winning clubs in each league to have their teams meet at the close of the playing season every year, the world's title to go to the club win- ningWour out of seven games. Rules were adopted by the National Com- mission, which governed everything connected with the post-season bat- tles. Arrangements were cqmplet- ed regarding the disbursements nf the gate receipts between the' winn- ing and losing players, the club own- ers and the National Commission and to the merest detail everything was done to the satisfaction of everybody interested. Under these new conditions the Dost-season games were resumed and they have been played every year re- gularly since 1905. In the fall of thiit year the New York Giants de- feated the Athletics of Philadelphia 'four games to one and scored the first winning of the world's title un- der the new regime. 'The rival Chi- cago clubs had the issue between them in 1906; Comisky's White Sox winning the honors by four games to two. The Detroit Tigers won the American League pennant for the next three yeams.in succession, but failed to add the world's title to their string of victories, as they were beat- en in the post-season battles of 1907 and 1908 by tHe Chicago Cubs, and the following year they lost to Pitts- burg, when the Pirates nailed both the world's championship and Nation- al League pennants to their mast. Connie Mack and his Athletics were dominant factors in the two follow- Ing years; they scored a four to one victory over the Chicago Nationals in 1910 and in the 1911 series they Squared their defeat by the Giants in 1905 by taking MeCraw's players in= to camp four games to two in the 'battle for the. world's title: - Then followed the great eight game series between the Boston Am- ericans and the Giants. . for a long time to come 1912 will be remembered as the "banner year," as in addition to a tie game the Red Sox players, several of 'whom are still in the Boston line-up, went the limit and forced Manager McCraw to a four to three defeat. Philadelphia, Conie Mack and the Athletics scored & third world's victory in 1913, with the Giants again losers, York team winning only one game out of five.

Hamilton Spectator: "Ben" Simp- son, who is, along with '"Bob" Isbes- ter, coaching the Tiger squad, is quite satisfied that the yellow and black will be hard to beat in the bat- tle for the Big Four honors. "It's the largest and most likely-looking squad I have seen in the Tiger camp for a' long time," said "Ben" last night. "There doesn't appear to be a weak spot in the line-up, and we'll have plenty of substitutes who will fill in very acceptably."

'War not stopping it: At the be-! { ginning of 'the war some people that women's suffrage would be one of the issues which would drop out) of sight for some time. As a mat- ter of fact, however, the movement is gaining ground rapidly. | Alberta and Manitoba: The Alber- ta Government has) announced that a women's suffrage bi will be intro- duced at the coming session. A simi- lar bil! will also be introduced at the first session of the Norris Gov-| ernment in Manitoba and the issue] is becoming a very keen one in Sas- katchewan with prospects of some action very soon. &. | Its Federal signifighnce: When| the women of the thred. prairie pro-| vinces have full provincial rights of voting and when, as is like.y, this] will extend to votes in Federal elec- tions, for provincial lists are used im both contests, a great impetus will be given to the movement for wo-| | men's srffrage in the province where success at present does not seem near, for the women of one part of the coumtry will not want to be discriminated against as com- pared with women in other provin- ces, in the field of federal as well as provineial polities Temperance. Date of Manitoba's Referendum: March, 1916 has been fixed as the date for the referendum on prohibi- tion in 'Manitoba under the Norris Government. If this referendum carries, Premier Norris announces, no licenses will be issued in Mani- toba after the first of May next. The B. C. Movement: The Peoples' | Prohibition Movement in British Columbia is rapidly rounding into shape. A general organizer has been appointed and meetings are being held -afl' over the province. B. C. Orangemen: The. Orange Order in British Columbia is strong- ly in favor of temperance. A few years ago the grand Jodge of British | Columbia went on record in favor of local option. In February of this year they asked the government to close all bars and shops at six o'clock during the war and it is likely now | that the grand lodge will go on re« cord in favor of prohibition in the province.

Won Praise Everywhere, Says Abbe. "The stand which the Canadian troops made at St. Julien and their wonderful bravery is known all over Europe," said Abbe Perrin, Superior at Rome, who has been in Ottawa on a mission to the Papal Legate and Archbishop Gauthier. 'I visited recently many small villages in both Italy and France. When the people found I was a Canadian they were most en- thusiastic. They praised in the most eulogistic terms the Canadian troops and I myself, just because |] was a Canadian, was tretaed with the honor of a wounded soldier. - The valor of the Canadians is on the lips of all Europe. I was proud indeed to be able to say, I am a Canadian." The Abbe zave an instance of the spirit of the Canadian soldiers. He visited the Lourdes and was told there 'was a Canadian wounded sol- dier there. "I hunted him up," said the Abbe, 'and asked him to have a meal with me at a restaurant. He had been a cowboy in the West; he had been wounded three times. First he was wounded in the foot, recov- ered and went back to the front. He was next wounded in the breast. Again after a period in the hospital ! he recovered and again he went back to the battle line. The third time he was partially paralyzed on one side by concussion from a high explosive shell. 'They say,' said the soldier to me, 'that I can never get well, but see,' he remarked, partially lifting his arm, 'it is getting better already. In two or three months' time I shall be able to go back.' "But if you return," I told him, 'you will this time lose your head.' ' 'No matter,' he shouted, 'it is gil for the cause.' " "The incident," said the Abbe, touched very much the people in the restaurant and before he left they all insisted on shaking hands with him and wishing him the best of luck." The Abbe said that there was per- fect unanimity in Italy over the war. Before war was declared there was considerable difference. of opinion nd much political strife. But now aly was one and all parties were at perfect peace and determined to see the fight through to the finish, The Canadian College at Rome will be closed as far as studies are concerned until the war is over, and it is in connection with this and the question of reopening it when thé war is over that the Abbe has been visiting Canada. He offered the col- lege as a 'hospital for Canadian troops, but as they are already well | provided for and it was some dist- ance from the front, the offer was not accepted. The Abbe met Sir Robert Borden while in Paris, and while in Ottawa paid his respects to the Prime Minister and also to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Aeroplane View of Canada.
