And SO the story is repeated, with
touches Of beautiful self-sacrifice
that transcends the most romantic
fiction.
The first thing the French gov
eminent does for the slghtless is
to present each with pension Of
S175 yearly; and a little money
goes long way in France. "The
Friend of the Blind Soldier" was
organized under the leadership OF
Rene Valley-Rarot, yice-presldent OF
the Pnsteur Institute. The govern
ment gladly co-oneratel in teaching
the soldiers "the art OF being blind. /"

midst of a sort Of earthly purgatory.
I have never before seen so much

the day, nursing their bitterness.
The stiffness OF the nights was
broken often and often by their
hoarse sobs as they lay in torture

lectures. But we quickly discovered
that the men deserted everything
in favor OF work. They would rather
make brushes and baskets or cane
chairs than listen to the finest music

It is a sight that leaves an indel-
ible impression to see the blind
wounded taking their first walk
abroad in the care Of white-robed
nurses. There is tragedy sharply
written on every face-tragedy soft
ened by resignation, sharpened by
despair, and made brutally effective
by mere dumb submissiveness. And
person who has beheld the afflicted
of both sides says they show these
characteristics:
The Frenchman is the most easily
Influenced, and, though he may sink
into the gulf, he prefers the heights
of optimism.
The Austrian is depressed and
brooding. but open to cheerful adj
vice.
Hospital Romance.
The Englisnman feels the tragedy
perhaps most keenly, but accepts it
with the logged courage that marks
him in battle. But he becomes rec
onciled to the inevitable quite soon.
The Russian is silent and uncom-
planning. He accepts fate with the
same nerveless indifference that he
faces death.
The German blind are grim stoics,
and the manned, for the most Fart,
are patient and hopeful.
While tragedy abldes with these
men. romance is no stranger. for

with eyes that could reflect her
image no more.
A nurse in the hospital where
she gave her attention to many, she
nevertheless made him her especial
care and led his first hesitating
steps when he left his bed to go out
Into the sunlight which he could
not see. He lost his sight, but he
won his best beloved. who will be

FIVE TO FOUR IS THE SCORE
short Fences of Philly Park Prove
to Be Benefit of American
Lesguers.
NIEHoFF GETS HIS FIRST HIT
WORLDS SERIES FIGURES.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. oct. ia
home run clouted over the center
field fence by Harry Hooper OF Cap
itoIa, Cal, this afternoon put a
clincher on the claim of the Boston
American league club to the base
ball championship Of the world. The
home run marked the final scoring
efforts of the 1915 worlds series and
gave the deciding game to the Boston
Red Sox by a score 5 to 4. Four
games for tn cred Sox to one for
the National league champions was
the game record for the series.
Today's game was one to stir the
blood. 1t was a battle from the
jump, with the issue ever in doubt.
Twice it seemed that Philadelphia
had a winning margin, but twice the
Red Sox hammered their way to the
front. The game was batting bee,
in which the Phillies got an early
start. For the first time In the series
the hum of the homer was heard in
the land. The Boston hitters sent
three balls hurtling to the center field
stands for the circuit. Hooper got
two of the home run smashes and
Lewis another.
Ludurus Lifts One Over Fence.
The Philadelphia players valiantly tried
to meet the invaders at the home run
game Luderus lifted one high over the
rignt field w2fl-in the fourth, but here
the heavy firing Of the home folks ended
and for the last five innings there was
never a threat OF Philadelphia tallies.
The short fences OF the Philly park,
confidently looked forward to as bene-
fit TO the home players. proved In the
END their undoing. Cravath, home run
monarch OF the National league. was ex-
pected to break UP games with sTnashes
out Of the lot, but he got his long hits
In Boston, where they were speared for
sensational outs and before the home
crowds "Gavvy" could only whiff the
air when the fans were frantic for q hit.
All through this worlds series the Red
Sox. have been Just good enough to win.
When the Philadelphia team fielded brill
/, liantly the Boston players shone with &
greater degree of radiance. When the
Philadelphia pitching was alright the
Boston twirling was Just little tighter.
and today, when the long-silent bats Of
the Phillies began lifting song OF biffs
and bingles, the Boston bats crashed In
more strident tones.
Hard One to Lose.
Never very far above their rivals In
any one OF the five games, the men of
the American league in the last four
starts were always Just within the
shadowy line of success. 1t was hard
series for the Phillies to lose, but a
brilliant victory for the Sox.
Surprises Fans with Mayer.
When the official announcement mega
phoned to the grandstand that Manager
Moran had started Erskine Mayer to
pitch. there were expressions of surprise
as the fans fully expected that Alexander
would be called upon 10 ward off final
defeat for the championship. Hooper be-
gan his ousy afternoon by lacing the
first ball pitched to center field. Scott
