position on the diamond, and Larry
was finally placed there. to fulfill
Pats prediction. He has always
been a high class ball player. He
Is strong hitter and a quick
thinker, yet he. too, might be
placed behind Lord, Baker, Foster
or even Zimmerman.
The SoX are well fortified behind
the bat with Bill Carrigan, Cadv
and Nunamaker, the latter two Of
the most promising young back
stops in either league. Carrigan
came from Holy Cross, where he
was picked up by one of Tavlor's
scouts, and was developed at To-
ronto by Joe Kelley. Nunamaker
was developed from a raw young
ster who was not considered good
enough for the Chicago Cubs while
Cady came from Newark this shrine,
almost ready made. In this one de-
partment the Sox are practically
on equal terms with any club in the
league.
AS for the pitchers. the name Of
Joe Wood leads all the rest. The
writer has a peculiar admiration for
Smoky Joe" and may be a bit
biased, but it is his belief that Joe

the worlds series. although Char
ley Hall may have to be recI1onAd
with. Hall discovered a kinIl in his
arm a few months ago. and when
that was removed he turned in and
pitched the Sox into the lead, in
collaboration with Wood.

handler, not yet Rucker or
Flank or a Marquard, perhaps. but

star and days when he is decidedly
a ousher He is pretty wild for a
young man who may have to face

they'd paid him $500 for each vic

regular salary. ne wouldn't have
made living. And then, after a
short spell down in the Virginia
league he turned up In the vaunted
American association and pitched
perhaps the greatest game ever
seen in that league. The no-hit per
Torrance was all the more remark
able because the Minneapolis team
is one OF the slowest fielding teams

DAYTON, O., Aug. 21.--The preIimi-
nary committee of the Lutheran Joint
Synod, which will convene here Thurs
day, will this evening complete arrang-
ing the business to be transacted.
The national body which opens its
sessions tomorrow Is a delegate body
consisting of II district synods in the
United States and Canada and having
congregations in almost every state of
the Union and in the provinces of
Canada.
Important business with reference
to the educational institutions of sy-
nod will come before the synod. The
following are the joint synods educa-
tional Institutions: Capital University,
Columbus, O.; st. Paul seminary, ST.
Paul, Mimi; Woodville Teachers
seminary, Woodville, o.; Pacific acad-
envy, Olympia, Wash; Hebron acad-
envy, Hebron, Neb.; and an academy
that is being established in Saskatche-
wan, Canada. The Washington dis
trict will come before the joint synod
with a petition for the re-esta blish-
ment of a theological seminary at
Olympia, Wash. Then there will be the
question of an Independent foreign
mission. Hitherto the Evangelical
Lutheran joint synod has presented
it's foreign mission work through the
Johannesburg Missionary society of
Germany, but inasmuch as this so
ciety has offered to the joint synod a
large field in India, the question of
its acceptance will come up for action.
Then there will be the question of a
close relationship with the Iowa sy.
nod of the Lutheran church and other
important matters of a similar ma.
ture.
