bingles were punched, but Otto
wouldn't let 'em score.
There was meyer a chance for Jim
Vaughn to win the game, because his
mates weren't batting. But-SO far as
actual pitching was concerned, Hippo
was an edge better than his fatherly
opponent. Three hits were the total
of the Braves batting endeaVOrs, and
errors played a part in the scoring Of
both Of the oppOsition's runs. Bres-
nahan made a wide throw that start
ed one, and Vaughn wild-pitched the
second over.
This is the third straight alright
game which Vaughn has turned in.
in q full innings opposing batsmen
have reached him for but hits, an
eminent record that all Of the pitchers
in the big leagues are liable to shoot
at in vain. Two of the games were
victories for James.
In one battle he granted one hit,
and three were dOled out in each of
the other two. That all teams look
alike to him is proven by the fact
that the games have been pitched
against the Dodgers, Phils and
Braves. The Dodgers were the fell
lows who got the one hit.
The consistent goodness of Vaughn
stamps him as the leading left-hander
of the National League, despite the
regulations of Marquard, Rucker,
Slim SaIlee and three or four other
sterling southpaws. Ever since join
ing the Cubs Vaughn has threatened
to bud into a star, and this year he is
fulfilling all promises.
The big fellow realizes that he must
work hard to keep his place in the big
show, and he is wasting no time in
eccentric antics, as do most left
handlers. When he has his mind on
his work no team in the league can
beat him unless the Cubs fail utterly
in the hitting department, as they did

ing a few beatings, was released to
Washington. Here, too, he failed to
measure up to the required standard,
and he wendell his way back to the
minors.
In the American Association he
proceeded to cut a wide swath, and
John Evers and Charley Murphy,
who, it may be remembered, were
Cub officials, brought him to the West
Side. Immediately Vaughn began to
pitch ball, and critics maTVeled that
he had ever slipped back.
It is possible that Hippo didn't take
his work seriously in his first expert
ence. under the big tent. That is a
failing that causes the UndOing of
many youngsters. But the. demOtiOn
wakes them up if they have the real
stuff, and they come back with de-
termination to make good.
That seems to be Vaughn's case.
Whatever the reason for his dismissal
by the American League clubs, every
Cub follower is glad he failed in his
first efforts. Otherwise he would not
be a member of the Cub staff.
Boston winds up its first visit to-
morrow. Lavender and Pierce are
expected to draw the remaining
pitching assignments, and Stallings
will use a couple of right-handers, so
there is still a chance for an even
break for the Cubs.
Monday will be the big day, as the
Giants blow in for their initial clash
on the West Side. The Cubs are far
down in the race, and McGraw's team
does not look as good as last year,
but CUb-Giant games are always hard
fought, no matter what the position
of the teams.
Considerable of our space is de-
voted to Jim Vaughn. Quite right.
He is considerable pitcher.

the rain Of fire began to fall on the
city. The townspeople were thrown
into a panic. They ran into the
streets and other open places because

Fifteen women who were seated

I'VE received orders from the port

WILSON STANDS BY

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-President
Wilson will stand by the ship pur-
chase plan. Despite some criticism
from some congressional sources, and
despite Counselor Lansing's belief
that the government fleet could not
carry grain to warning nations, the
Presidents determination to stand
pat on the bulk of the plan was clear
ly indicated today. Minor alterations
may be made but for the most part
plans outlined will be carried into eff
feet in an administration bill.
1t is probable that there will be in
troduced today the bill authorizing
the government to expend $25.0O0,O0O
in the purchase of ships.
Chairman Alexander. of the House
merchant marine committee, was fur
nished a rough draft of the bill by

United Press Correspondent.

PARIS (by mail to New York;. Aug.
21.-Faith in the ultimate success of
the entente against the alliance is
utmost here. Here is story illus
trating the unwavering confidence
manifested everywhere:
Felix Dumesnil lived with his
mother. The first day of the French
mobilization his father was called to
the colors. As each reservist was
called to report at some particular
point, l asked Felix, where is your
father going?"
TO Berlin" the French boy re-
piled, quite as if Berlin was just
across the street. In the early days
of the mobilization the oldest and
most alarming spectacle in Paris was
the run on grocery stores. These
were literally besieged by foresighted
peop'e who love to eat. Thursday and
Friday following the call to colors
those places of business had doubled
and trebled their forces, and even then
long waiting lists of people desiring
to be served were seen. Police had
to be called to preserve order. Lanes
were roped off, and inside of these
people waited patiently for hours for
chance to buy. y
The idea was unique. Fearing a
shortage, they wanted to lay in a
supply. The period of mobilization
had been calculated at twenty
days. That was the popular idea.
anyway, and during those twenty
one days all the trains and all the
trucks and most of the wagons would
be in use hauling the army off to
fight. Paris would have to live on
fat" for the mobilization period, and
it must not be forgotten that the
Frenchmen love to eat.
So they bought irish potatoes,
noodles and similar dried pastes,
smoked or otherwise cured meats.
sausages. dried beans and peas, con-
centrated soups, condensed milk
cot ee, tea and cocoa. sugar and,
above all, salt. They did not forget
the salt. Paris has not yet forgotten
that siege back in 1871, and her chill
dren have heard what it means not
to have salt.

"One of the victims of the war died
yesterday in Rome. The Pope, bowed
down with years, could not with
stand the shock of Christendom's I'M
holy strife. His life was devoted to
peace and his last prayer Was that
the warning nations might cease the
mighty conflict. A great influence for
peace has gone. 1t is another mis-
fortune in these days of distress
The capture of Brussels is all but
accomplished. The taking of a ma
tons capital is almost a national
humiliation. One cannot but feel for
the Belgians in their hour of adver-
sity. The wrath of war descended
upon their heads because it was so
ordained that the territory of this
valiant little nation stood between
Berlin and Paris No treaty or COM
pact could be written which would
protect it in a clash between Ger
many and France.
"A great victory has been won.
The Belgian army has been thrown
back upon Antwerp in more or less
disorder. For all practical purposes
the Belgian forces may now be dis
counted in the general scheme of
things. 1t would be interesting 70
know how many French and British
troops were engaged in the battle
along the Namur line.
"A victory as great as this means
much to the German army. The nu-
merical superiority over the allies
cannot have been very great. The
armies of the Mouse and Moselle can
now continue their advance. 1t does
seem as if things are progressing very
favorably for the German cause. Tile
