"JEB" STUART, HAIG's MODEL.
British Commander Thinks South
erner the Supreme Cavalry
Genius.

General Sir Douglas Haig is said to
deem the confederate J. E. B. Stuart
the supreme cavalry genius of the
nineteenth century. When he was
general officer commanding at Alder
shot Haig impressed the details Of
Stuarts career upon his staff. Haig's
failure to achieve promotion to the
very highest command earlier in his
career-the chief is Sc, nearly-is
ascribed to that heresy prevalent on
the subject of the cavalry against
which Haig's own career has been
one long protest. He is at the head of
the big push" because of the belated
discovery in Europe of the real lesson
of the civil war in America.
The personality of Haig has much
in common with another of his heroe,
-Stonewall Jackson. Like the great
confederate leader, Haig has marked
strain of evangelical piety. He has a
serious style of speech and a touch of
the pale student, for he has delved
deeply into military history and writ
ten much on the theme of cavalry. On
the whole he is somber, like Jackson,
rather than dashing, in the fashion of
Stuart, the pair whom he seems to
place above any others as the heroes
Of his own arm of the service.
Haig has humor, nevertheless, and
he sometimes reveals it through the
medium of an apt citation from the
Scriptures, which he reads diligently.
His intellect &c u1arkedtu Scotch ,,d
metaphysical and his favorite poet is
affirmed to be Robert Burns. 1t is
said of him that he. never reads a
novel.
One of his complaints against the
war office in London has reference to
its failure to provide music, a neglect
now almost thing of the past. The
British military band yet bids fair to
rival the German trumpeters, thank.
to Haig,
The officers mess was not prepared
for Haig's reply to the quartermaster
who asked him during the Colesberg
operations in the Boer war it'll
brush with the Beers, he had lost any
thing. YES" confessed Haig, SOL
EMMY. my Bible!" Not once did his
countenance relax its gravity as he
gazed at the grinning faces in his
vicinity, To this day Haig is grimly
Scot in his spirituality, attending the
Presbyterian services every Sabbath
at the front, reveling in doctrinal SER
mons that are not at all brief.-Cur-
rent Opinion.

Notes of the Fray.

Wednesdays battle, which ended In a s.
to-3 tie, will be resumed this afternoon at
Rourke park at Q o'clock.
About 1000 fans turned out for the con-
flict yesterday morning, and they went home
entirely satisfied.
Lou North evidently was out to win that
morning contest. He not only made home
a line drive into right field which jumped
Into the bleachers on the first bounce.
Kewpie Kilduff made q lot Of noise with
a brace Of triples. one with two on base and
the other with three on. And against Q guy
who is going to be his teammate next year.
too.
shag Thompson didn't waste any time
when he got on the bases. He scored three
times, every time he got on.
That Roach Mccarthy combination around
the keystone sack worked two swell double
plays that cut down Rourke runners at dan
gerous periods
Pete Compton almost made a one-handed
catch Of North's double, but the ball bounced
out Of his hand stretched far above his head
Whiteman made a long running catch Of q
drive by Thompson.
Just before the game Red Corriden SUI.
fered a rap In the face by batted ball.
One of his mates hitting fungoes to the out
field sent one low and Red stopped 1t with

all during the game.
A smart dopester bet his hat on Louisville
with farmer boy In town to see the Ak
Sar-Ben stunts. He left at the end of the
seventh inning and the farmer lad found
himself In possession Of swell new gray
lid. The farmer boy was booster and he
went home with two hats, while the other
chap had nothing to protect his curly locks
from the chill October breezes.
Billy Clymer was very much subdued yes
terday. When he saw Middleton get the
daylights lambasted out Of him. he didn't
have the heart to open his trap.
Red Corriden has failed to make hit yet.
He hit hard line drive yesterday, but
Marty Krug speared 1t.
The Colonels got Schauer, Stroud, Wen
iall, Killifer and Palmero for Middleton and
are due to get one more athlete. II Nc
iraw likes Middleton he ought to be tickled
to death with Kilduff and Kruger.
Otto Merz will probably chuck against the
Solonels today, while Hub Perdue or Schauer
will likely toll for the opposition.

GIVE WORK TO Ex-coNvIcrS
Prison Pallor No Longer Bars Men
From Honest Employment
in the East.

A year ago hardly anyone seemed
to want to give the released prisoner
job. A year followed of Mr.. Os-
borne and good times, and the great
change has come. Today the special
employment secretary Of the Prison
Association OF New York says he is
able to refute the statement frequently
made that discharged prisoners are
returning to crime because nobody
will hire them. In July, 1916, he re-
ported that every able-bodied man
that applied during the month of
June and was willing to work and
take what was found for him was
placed within few days. Wages ran
from 50 to S22 week.
One former prisoner writes that he
is getting $l8 week as bookkeeper
and general clerk and is going to re-
pay the expenses betrayed in his be-
half" Another Of the gray brother
hood says that he has Suffered" an
increase in salary, and that he is not
kicking about the Saturday afternoon
holiday that has been dispensed
with"
Good will toward the released pris-
oner is spreading. Hundreds Of New
York merchants were asked last win
ter to give employment to men just
out of prison. A manufacturer. hav-
ing taken five men, telephoned into
the office saying that the men were
doing so we'll that he wondered if
they had not given false statements
as to having had prison record for
the purpose Of securing positions.
The surge In the prisoners behalf
is not confined to any one state.
Henry Ford has at least 800 released
prisoners in his works at Detroit.
Miss Katharine B. Davis, chairman
of the parole commission of New
York City, has been organizing the
relief societies of the city into CO.
operative agency for finding employ
ment for men and women coming out
of the city prisons. The men at Sing
Sing and Auburn prisons are estab-
fishing branches of the Mutual Well
fare league outside the prisons. In an
other state a new relief society has
been organized by man formerly in
prison. In Kansas the prisoners are
planning a cooperative bureau. Many
other instances might be cited.-Re-

INTEREST IN WORLD
SERIES UNIVERSAL
Inquiries Concerning Red Sox-
Robin Game Come From
France and Far North.
MEXICO HEARD FROM, TOO

Boston, Mass, Oct. 5.-The extent
Of the appeal of the worlds series
as an event as widespread in interest
as the name implies, was shown by
requests to club and press officials.
Many persons had sent inquiries from
the battle front in France some weeks
ago, from the Canadian northwest by
telegraph, within the last week, and
from Mexico. The committee in
charge of press arrangements, report
ing a greater demand for newspaper
representation than ever before, said
today that applications had come from
Canada, Cuba and Panama.
The world champion Boston Amer
leans, marking time from the end Of
the season, which brought, them an
other pennant, to the hour they meet
the Brooklyn Nationals on Saturday
in defense of greater base bali honors,
divided forces. One group headed
by Captain Jack Barry went to Wor-
cester to oppose the Philadelphia
Americans in game arranged to as
sist a memorial fund for the old-time
umpire, John H. Gaffney. Others of
the team went again to Braves field,
where the local games will be played,
for light practice. Manager Carri-
gan, who was with the latter group,
said that "the boys are in good shape
except for Foster and Barry" Wheth-
er either, or both, would be able to
take an active part in the series was
still uncertain, he said. Close follow
ers of the team claiming no authority
for their statement predicted today
that Carrigan himself would catch
the opening game, with Leonard as
the pitcher,
Allotment of the $4,000 reserved
seat tickets was finished early today,
with probably more than 1000 appli-
cations unanswered. The available
reservations were over-subscribed so
greatly that many persons who asked
for modest pair of seats were al
lowed but one, while others asking
for six and eight in some instances
obtained only pair. To receive their
tickets applicants besieged the club
box Office today, and with the an
nouncement of last night that reser-
vations were not specific, but applied
only to the number Of seats allowed,
with early corners getting preference
of location, the grandstand ticket
lines resembled bleacher rush.
This desire to be on the grounds
eafly was reflected today in the ar
rival at hotels of hundreds of WIS.,
itors, some of whom at least had come
ahead of time hoping to get the pick
of seats. Hotel men reported early in
dications of tremendous business,
requests for reservations having taxed
the capacity in several instances to
the point where cots were ordered. -

SAY ROBINS GOING TO WIN

New York, Oct. 5.-Wilbert Robin
son, manager of the Brooklyn Nation
al league club, pitted his regulars
against New York in the game in
Brooklyn this afternoon as a final
workout for the opening of the
worlds series at Boston on Saturday.
I'VE are going out to win, and
think we can do it." said Robinson.
Our team has played good bali all
season. and we held the lead almost
all the way through, except for a day
or two here and there. We measure
up to the Red Sox, and with our team
playing its best ball right now there
is no reason why it can't win. Well
show the fans some real playing. Mar

Smith will show them some pitching.

to have been selected to pitch the
opening game for Brooklyn, said he
was in top form now and that Brook
lyn is gong to win.
I'VE will be right at their throats.
all the time" declared Jack Coombs.
IF anyone believes Boston is going
to ride right over us he is reckoning
without men of the stamp of Jake
Daubert, Pfeffer, Marquard and Chief
Meyers"
The first big wager here on the
series was announced today when it
was stated that E. E. Smathers, the
owner of the fast horses, had placed
$4,000 to $4,000 on the Boston
Americans to win.
1t was announced that the four UNI
pires chosen for the worlds series
would meet in Boston today to agree
upon a uniform Interpretation of the
rules. The "infield fly" is one point
upon which an agreement is desired,
because in the American league a run
ner must hold his base on such a fly,
while in the National league he can
run at his own risk.
