ATHLETICS
viii Have Little Trouble In
Winning World Series

Boston and New York are locked
in terrific, nerve-racking struggle
for the National league flag with the
Cubs sneaking up from the rear,
threatening to become a real factor
at almost any moment.
The Athletics have raced far ahead
OF the field in the American league.
No one doubts the result of the race.
The Mackmen have the flag almost
within their grasp. The hour quickly
approaches when it will be mathe-
matically impossible for any rival to
overtake Macks brilliant crew.
They can rest. Their nerves are
calm and peaceful. They have sell
dom been put to real test. They
have out-classed the opposition. They
may proceed calmly to lay their plans
for the baseball classic-the world S
series-without fear of having such
efforts wasted.
True, the Boston Red Sox are still
in position to overcome the champs.
But this country is simply full of peo-
pie who believe that the Athletics
could, at this stage of the game
stake the Red Sox or any other club
to half-dozen-game lead and still
finish in front, even though the twi-
light hour of the season is with us.
| Now what's the answer? Just this:
In their mad struggle for the Ma
tional league championship, the fur
ious contenders are rapidly lessening
the chances that the worlds cham
pionship will go to National league
club.
| Even baseball payers have nerves,
Nature demands consideration. The
nerve-fagging struggle now being
waged between the Giants and the
Braves will leave an indelible mark
on both the victor and the vanquished
when the final decision is reached.
The Athletics win go into the
worlds series fresh, with nerves
which have not been shattered, with
the confidence born of a long sue
cession of victories, with what many
critics believe to be the best bal
anced team that the remarkable
Mack has ever commanded.
The National league entry, wheth-
er it be Boston or New York, or even
the Cubs, will enter the worlds SER
les with nerves exhausted, with bodies
torn by the long and terrific battle,
with pitching staffs worked to the
limit, and finally, with players who
have gone stale.
A victory in the big classic for the
Athletics seems Inevitable.

POEMS
Written By Miss SChnGbIy Of
Mt. Vernon
Highly Spoken Of By A
Columbus Paper
columbus Dispatchl

A modest collection of short poems
written by a Mt Vernon, Ohio, high
school girl, has recently been brought
to the attention of The Dispatch. The
author, Miss Mary Schnebly, a mem
Der of the present senior class In the
high school of that pretty little town,
Is said to represent the most attrac-
tive type of American girlhood in her
charming naturalness, keen intuitions,
quick sympathies and wholesome good
cheer.
The facts that Miss Schnebly is only
IL years old, that she has enjoyed no
advantages of education or literary as
soclations outside her immediate com.
munity, and that her domestic sur
roundings preclude the supposition of
precociously advanced reading and as
sinlilation from older authors all tend
to an added interest in her work as
the spontaneous expression of an unus-
ually gifted spirit.
Several of Miss Schnebly's poems.
when read in manuscript by number
of discriminating literary critics, met
encouraging commentator as the
work of rare promise.
The selections here offered are chos-
en- to reveal the young authors scope
OF varying sentiment, regardless of
technical Inconsistencies. Several of
them have already met the approving
reading of DIR. Washington GLADDEN.

submarine, which was a dream In
1865, Is owned by the navy of the
smallest power. 1t is true that single
submarines are not expected to ac-
complish much In a real struggle, SO
the larger navies OF the great powers
have fleets OF submarines. The aero
plane and the dirigible balloon are to
be found in the possession of all arm
les in Europe today, yet they, too, are
only expected to be Of real service
when they are possessed in large num-
bers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps OF modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have a
powerful sting. they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
Aeropane and Wireless.
In the recent smaller wars, aero
planes have been used to limited ex-
tent, and this use has been so much
limited that their real efficiency is ex-
pected to be finally determined by
the present war
1t is much the same with the wire
less telegraph. While 1t was used In
the Russo-Japanese war of ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary. and the installations too few,
while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest eff
cheney. In the intervening decade, how
ever, great advance has been made In
wireless 1t Is now possible and, in
deed, is custom every day, to send
and receive messages from a distance
of more than 5000 miles. This, then,
is new and important factor in naval
operations, as was seen by the censor
ship put over the great sending sta
tons on this side of the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was in existence In
1904, but 1t was very different sea
wasp to that which England. France
and Germany are using today. Yet its
real value is yet to be determined, and
1t is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict.
Rapid Incre ase Of Submarines
At the time of the Spanish-American
war there were only five submarines
in all the navies of the world.
The latest edition Of Brassey's Naval
Annual for this year gives the number
Of submarines in the various navies,
and shows what interest is being
taken In the wasp of the sea. Great
Britain has 76 built, and is building 20
more; Germany, who only began build

Ancient Egyptian Life.

London. de Johnson has returned

discoveries made in examining some
nummies unearthed In Antince and
