cealed the negro in the bottom Of an
automobile, which he pressed into
service, and carried him into the
county Jail by the rear entrance be-

Of the arrest. Fair denied that he
was the negro wanted, but officers
said they felt confident that the chase
was over and were only waiting for

An aged negro had been ruthlessly

murder, was very small negro boy.

to show a brand of goods to justify
the large outlay of money. Now, in
addition to that angle to make good
on, he is the youngster of the series.
All past clashes have brought out
one man prominently. He usually has
been rookie, whose praises previous
ly were unsung. Remembering the
dope, the fans are expecting Chappell
to be that post-season hero.
1t is large order for lad with
half a years big league experience to
make good on.
Cicotte will have another chance to
start in the series, and Joe Benz is
also probable opener for the Sox
before the curtain is rung down.
Russell is the logical choice for to-
morrow. Then it will be one of the
two men who performed yesterday.
Joe Benz has been moderated all
year. AS a finisher he has been good
enough to warrant his starting some
thing on his own hook. But what
happens? Joe is pitted against Wal
ter johnson, game which the Sox
have little hope of winning. Twice
he holds Washington to one run, but
johnson each time blanks the Sox.
A gent who can stack up that well
with the might Walter is entitled to
some consideration.
Four hits were all the Cubs could
CLEAN from his delivery in the last
nine innings yesterday. He pitched
better ball than Russell or Cicotte.
He only granted two hits in the first
eight innings he was in the box, and
then the strain became too great. A
couple of punched swats and the
Cubs had the run that won.
Benz did his share. If his mates
could have hit lick behind him he
would have pulled through a win.
Taken as a whole, the Cubs out
played the Sox. Each side made three
errors, but the work of the West Sid
ers was best. Bodie made a play in

The worlds progress in civilization,
in so far as 1t embraces the enduring,
the good and the true. tScience and
Healthy is due to Christianity. and
without prayer Christianity Is incon-
Iceivabie. Mankind in general. ans
even that portion Of 1t which Is &C.
counted Christian. has little concep-
ftion OF the part that Christianly sci
lentific prayer has taken In the better-
ment Of humanity, and is ignorant Of
what It Is yet to accomplish.
Mrs. Eddy is by no means alone in
the acknowledgment Of the power of
prayer.
| Tennyson caught the same great
truth and expressed 1t simply as
follows:
More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams OF.
which discloses his recognition Of q
fact we should keep before US in our
lpraying, that although God may not
ALWAYS give US what we wish, he does
give us what we need-or as Mrs. Ed
ldy has so helpfully epitomized II
Divine Love always has met and al
ways will meet every human need.
(Science and Health 494.l
1t would save US many pang Of
disappointment IL we were to test our
prayer by the little word srighp and
| its derivatives - as this prayer q
righteous one?" Am Il praying
aright?" are questions that should
precede every prayer. May I give you
a few passages worth remembering
that bear directly upon the signifi-
canoe of the word right" in connee-
| ton with prayer? The first Is from
the Bible Games 5.16) The effectual
fervent prayer of RIGHTEOUS man
availeth much" The second / take
from the text book of Christian Sci
ence (P. 206-12) The exercise Of
the sentiments hope, faith, love
is the prayer OF the righteous. This
prayer, governed by Science instead
of the senses, heals the sick. And
again (Science and Health 2-5) THE
desire which goes forth hungerilg aft
er righteousness is blessed of our
Father, and it does not return unto
us void" The third is chosen from
Scotland's blithesome singer, Robert
Burns, who in his "Cotter's Saturday
Night" truly says.
They never sought in vain
who sought the Lord Alright"
might go a step further and quote
from Alexander Pope's poem The
Universal Prayer" where the word
right appears as the basis of ex-
pectancy.
IF am right thy grace impart
Still in the right to stay,
IF l am wrong, Oh teach my heart
ITO find that better way"
So rather than to wonder If our
prayer is to be answered let US first
assure ourselves that it conforms to
our highest sense of right and then
leave it in the hands of Him who
doeth all things well, knowing that
then it will not return to US void. Let
US know that someone, somewhere be-
cause of it will be blessed in the way
! that God assigns
