Peter to know he was there. and
exactly where he was. So the in
slant after he had climbed out on
the bank he quite took Peters
breath away by saying. Hello. Pc.
ter Rabbit"
II took away Peters breath and
Il upset his plan to have fun with
Paddy by giving him n scare. Is It
any wonder that almost the frst
thing Peter did was to ask how
Paddy had known that he was
there? You see. Peter wasn't well
enough acquainted with Paddy to
know what a wonderful nose he has.
Had Reddy Fox or Granny Fox or
Old Man Coyote found him he would
have guessed right away how they
had done II.
Paddy laughed and then he told
Peter about his wonderful nose and
how he depended on II TO keep him
safe. Then they sat down for d
visit. Peter told Paddy all about
his sickness and all the nice things
that had happened. Then Paddy told
Peter all the news Of that part OF
the Green Forest, how Mr.. Quack
had wholly recovered, and was as
well and strong as ever. and how so
far nothing had happened to any OF
the little Quacks although Hooty
the Owl tried every night TO catch
one OF them.
There he Is now" exclaimed
Paddy. II must give the Quacks
warning" Sure enough, big shad
ow swept silently through the moon
light over the pond. II was Hooty
the Owl. Paddy slipped down &
the water. Slap! His broad Ia
struck the water like the report
a pistol. They will know what tn
means" chuckled Paddy as he can
back TO Join Peter.

II I might wish and the wish come
true.
Pray what do you think that wish
'rwonld be for a nose that could tell
The things ! can neither hear nor
see.
Yes, sir. that lis what my wish
would be. II would be for a nose
like that Reddy Fox has. OF Old
Man Coyote, or Lightfoot' the Deer,
or Buster Bear; or Paddy the Beav-
er. When Paddy swan out from
his house In his pond deep in the
Green Forest the night that Peter
Rabbit had gone over there he just
happened to start straight for the
place where Peter was sitting on
the bank He didn't know that
Peter was there. and he wasn't
thinking OF Peter as he swan to-
ward the shore. He wasn't think.
ing OF any one in particular. The
Black Shadows lay very deep on the
shore and Paddy's eyes were not
strong enough to see into them. He
knew this, and he didn't strain them
trying to see. But as he swan his
ears were very wide open and his
nose was very busy. Yes, sir. Pad
dy's nose was very busy.
You see. Paddy the Beaver Is one
OF those who believes absolutely In
safety first. He never forgets that
danger is most likely TO appear
when II Is least expected, and so
ne never Is careless. In this re-
spect he is quite unlike Peter Rab-
bit So. though Paddy didn't have
the least idea that any one was
about. he listened with all his might
for every tiny sound. and suspect
that he heard sounds which your
ears and mine would have missed
altogether. More than this, he
knew what each sound meant. and
TO know what sound means Ia
quite as important as to hear a
sound
So az he swan toward where
Peter Rabbit was hiding and keep
ing perfectly still, he heard nothing
to make him even suspect that any
one was there. His ears told him
everything that ears could tell. But
Paddy didn't trust to his ears alone.
All the time he was swimming his
nose was busy testing the air for
all the faint smells that wondering
little Night Breezes brought out
from the shore. Presently as he
drew near the bank his nose was
tickled with just the faintest OF
smells. Your nose or mine wouldn't
have smelled IL at all Paddy stop
ped swimming for just a second and
tested the air very carefully. Then
he grinned. and at once swan on
toward the bank. He knew that
some one was on the bank and he
knew just who that some one was
His nose told him.
Peter Rabbit Ia sitting up there
somewhere" thought he. II suspect
that he has seen me already and Is
planning to try TO scare me- Paddy
chuckled and turned so as TO follow
that faint smell
nose OF his told him exactly where
Il came from. He couldn't see Peter
because II was too dark. Besides.
Peter was hiding behind little
hemlock tree He couldn't hear Pc.

the teeniest. weeniest sound. But

.S0UTHPAWS WILL Be
feature OF SERIES
Quartet of Sidewheelers Likely to Fig
ture in the Present Champion
ship Games.

BasebalFs most clever managers declare
that champion teams are no stronger
than their pitchers. This is a theory that
will bear watching in the current strug-
gle between the Brooklyn Robins and the
Boston Red Sox for the baseball cham
pionship Of the world
In many respects the noeetIn9 ~ the
Robins and Red Sox will be unique. The
clubs are diametrically opposed accord
Ing to every basis OF comparison. Brook
lyn boasts hitting array. Boston de-
pends more on defense than upon Of
fence. All of Boston's twirling candidates
are past masters in the art, Robinson's $
team studs its way TO victory. II has
the hitting power. It has not the speed
on the paths.
A comparison OF the rival pitching
would favor Boston greatly, but only IN
SO far as seasons run Of effectiveness
Is concerned. A world series cham.
pionship is 'far different from a major
league pennant fight Boston has no
fewer than five great pitchers-Ruth,
Leonard, Shore, Foster and Mays. Brook
lyn has no more than three who have
proved themselves great - Marouard.
Coombe and Pfefrer. But Brooklyn has,
in addition, few youngsters who have
always been ready to step to the front in
the most serious sort Of combat
Leonard and Foster were Carrigan's big
guns against the Phiuies a wear ago
Shore cut in and cut in with a vengeance
but It was after the day had been decided
Those on the inside now declare that
Foster may not be asked to shoulder the
responsibilities in one of the approaching
world series encounters The king of
one season back has not been at his best
lately.
Ruth is the one best bet of the Boston
Americans. Not only has this fellow been
leading pitcher. but he has been a lead
ing hitter as well. Any time he is in the
! lineup Carrigan carries one extra hit.
ter. Ruth was not allowed to take a fins
at the Phillies a year ago. He was green
and inexperienced then. He won his spurs

Coombs. Uncle wilbert Robinson would
not fully commit himself as to his prob
able selection, but said 'it won't be Pfef-
fer. The chances are II will be Coonbs
Cheney, and Smith 1t might be coombs,
but I'm not sure yet"
Robinson realizes that he must snare
that game tomorrow or find his crew
backed against the wall, with all the odds
against II. And in such an emergency
ne nnds no man more equal to II than
Coombs, the hero of a hundred diamond
duels; the star Of the worlds series firm

Babe" Ruth undoubtedly will pitch
for the Sox. He was billed to labor in
the opener, but in the final warm up, Bill
Carrtgan decided that his husky south
paw wasn't quite ready.
Enthusiasm In the camp Of Dodger
rooters Is at low ebb. As partisan as
they are, they frankly admit that the
Sox outplayed them yesterday; that they
were superior in team play; supreme in
almost every department OF baseball But
some Of them are trying to alibi the
Dodger defeat by declaring that It was
due largely to nervousness which will not
affict them so much in the coming
games.
However, those who analyze the game
OF yesterday from an unbiased viewpoint
cannot see anything but an ultimate tri-
umph for the BostonIans. They look
upon that Dodger -ally more as a fuke
brought on by Shores foolishness, than
as real exhibit of the Dodger strength
To substantiate them. they point out that
not one Dodger was able, in that inal
inning, to club out a real hit when a
safety meant the game

ROBINS CHIPPING and
sure They WILL WIN
Brooklynites Undismayed by Red Sox
Victory in First Game
of CLASSIC.

Boston, Oct. s.-The Robins were beaten
and their big gun was put out OF ac-
ton, but the spirit Of the Brooklyn boys
is absolutely undaunted. They are oy
far more confident after losing their nrst
decision than they were yesterday morn
ing. Now that they have received their
baptism Of fire and proved their courage
beyond an question in a finish which viii
30 down in the annals OF world series
games, they feel that they can and VIII
90 right ahead and drive through to
glorious victory.
There was no attempt after the game
to aIibi their obvious and costly blum
ders. The men who erred shouldered the
responsibility Of their deeds and vowed
to redeem themselves. All that Ruoe
Marquard wants Is another chance. The
southpaw never murmured when his sup
port wabbled and permitted the Red Sox
to gather those three runs in the seventh
inning. He simply asked to be sent IN
again on Monday.
wIlbert Robinson declared tonight IN
emphatic terms that the Robins would
win the series. He made no bones about
saying that the Red Sox were lucky TO
win, and that II any one OF three Incl
dents had not tammed their way into
the proceedings red fire would be burning
IN Fiatbush instead OF the Joss sticks
Of woe.
The result OF the game hinged on
90, se OF the most unusual incidents that
have ever come Up in my experience In
baseball" said Robbie. Every one of
the breaks were in favor OF Boston. l
am sure that II we can only get any
thing like an equal share Of the fortunes
Of the game we will win beyond a shadow
OF doubt.
Shore tottered badly two or three
times, only to be pulled out by sheer
luck. Harry Hooper saved him in the
fourth with the greatest play have ever
seen It was the luckiest, also. To be-
gin with, Hooper had to make a hard
run to get near Cutshsw's drive, which
was away in clC-~ and over near the
foul line. Then. after making the catch,
he fell, but staggered to his feet IN time
to shoot the ball to the plate and nip
Buck Wheat. He was OF his balance
when he made that throw, but the ball
never varied an inch to the plate, and
Buck lost the race by an eyelash. There
was one run"

HOSPITAL ELEVEN IS
EASY FOR VIGILANTS
Walter Reed Team Is Beaten BY Local
Champions in First Game of
Season, 38 to o.

Tearing through its opponents line and
rounding its ends for long gains almost
at will, the Vigilant football team, in
dependent and semi-professional cham
pion Of this section, found little difficulty
in vanquishing the Walter Reed Hospital
team at Union League Park yesterday
afternoon, IS to o.
1t was the opening game of the season
for both teams and neither showed any
thing In the way OF real football, although
the Vigilant combination was Handicapped
IN this respect in facing an opponent
whose comparative strength was not such
as to necessitate a high brand of play
to conquer.
It was little more than a workout for
Joe Oliveris warriors. Before the con-
test was over his second-string men were
doing battle against the soldiers with
about the same effect witnessed in the
regulars. A disparaging feature of the
teams play, however which will have to
be overcome before II takes the field with
success against stronger opponents, was
the unfamiliarity Of these signals shown.
This, in large degree, was accountable
for its failure to display the kind of
football of which 1t Is capable.
Bittenbender, a young player whose
reputation is growing in the local indie
pendent football world, gave an excep-
tionable account Of himself at left half
for the vigilants. He broke away re-
peatedly for long gains and was RESPONSE
BILE for two touchdowns. Eddie Carroll,
at full back, also contributed some spec
tacular work. including a run of so yards
for a touchdown.
Walter Reed was unable to accomplish
much in the way Of ground gaining at
any part Of the fray. No Individual work
stood out prominently, unless It was that
Of Jackson, at center, whose excellent
defensive tactics broke up a number of
Vigflant plays. Summary:

Laurel Race Meet Best
Ever Held in Maryland
By GEORGE B. MORRIS.

Dg SEOFSSE %. 0OThrlc-
With racing at Laurel now a week olo'
one would be safe in saying that the
most successful meeting ever held In
Maryland is now in progress at thts
greatly improved course.
The wisdom of the efforts expended has
been proven by the increased enthusiasm,
as well as the fact that the track Is rap
idly becoming much faster as the meet
progresses, two records having been
made during the last week, and the OLD
one equaled by horses that have not been
credited heretofore as being as speedy
as the time shown.
Indefatigable efforts by those who con-
troll the destinies Of Laurel is responsible
for the many improvements, and no
small degree Of the credit must be given
to the assistant general manager. Harry
F. Breivogle, by whom. under the guiding
hand of Matt ]. winn, the minutest de-
tail has been executed in its entirety.
Laurel is by no means an experiment
with the present management. Many
years ago when Empire race track was
first making its bid for recognition in the
Metropolitan circuit, Mr.. James Butler,
who has been prominently identified with
the trotting interests, decided to convert
the Yonkers track into a course for run
ners," and with his customary good tudg-
ment retained the services and co-oper-
vogeL Since then every meeting held
at this track has been more successful
than the preceding one. The training
and experience gained at Churchill
Downs has been useful in the success
obtained at Juarez and here at Laurel.
With the plans that are now establish
ed there is no question that Laurel will
bee ome the premier establishment In
the East aside from Bslmont Park. which
is naturally supported by the extensive
population contiguous TO the Metropolis,
and II one is TO Judge by the lIberslity
of entries, there being no less than
ninety-one horses entered for today's
events, racing will receive the greatest
impetus that it has ever enjoyed, and
under the safe and sound judgment OF
the present management should rebound
both credit and gain to this great State
Of Maryland, as well as the higher de-
velopment OF the thoroughbred. which
this country Is greatly in need OF for the
purpose of developing cavalry remounts
in the promised army increase.
For the balance OF the meeting there
are many stakes and handicaps listed
that will keep the best horses in train
| ing at the Laurel course. and IL favored
with the contir~na excellent weather for
racing, all past records for attendance
will be broken.

DODGERS REAP THE
REWARD FOR Showing
National League Champions Stuck to
the Top of the Race for
Five Months.

New York, Oct. s-The Brooklyn Robins
have triumphed in the battle for the Ma
tional League pennant and are now en-
gaged with the Boston Red Sox in a
struggle for the baseball championship of
the world. Whether they win or lose in
the final test Robbie's men demonstrated
their superiority over the other teams
in their league in a manner which ad-
mitted of no doubt Never was a more
thrilling fight won by a gamer team, and
the confidence inspired in that struggle
may carry the boys on to the highest
hOnors in the national pastime.
For FIVE months, with Just one or two
days excepted, the Robins led In the epic
struggle for the pennant which was
Victory over the Giants. For five months
they showed the way while the fans sat
TACK watching anxiously through many
days of fear and hope, expecting the
team to crack and so to pieces, as Brook
iy teams have done before. But in the
lexicon Of the 1915 Robins there was no
such word as crack. Nor was there any
such word as quit.
Taking command Of the situation on
May / they dropped back on May 8,
while the Braves moved in but directly
Robbie's men moved UP once more, and
this time they held fast until May 26
when the Phillies drove them out. It was
not long before Brooklyn returned to
their old haunts. and fighting on all at
tacks held command until they returned
from their Western trip and met the
Phillies.
Five consecutive defeats at the hands
r. the Quaker City champions drove the
Robins into second place, but inside of
y week they were back. this time to re-
main until the last week OF September,
when they were ousted again for a few
hours on September 30 between the morn
ing and afternoon games.

Trim Belmont A. G. Eleven In First
Game, 13 to o.

The Royal Cubs football eleven opened
its season yesterday at Union League
Park by defeating the Belmont Athletic
Club in a hard fought game by 10 to O.
The consistent center rushes of Capt.
Kelly j. Harris and L. Brown paved the
way for the touchdowns. ]. Harris scored
the first touchdown in the second period
by a long end run, while L. Brown tailed
in the third period on an off tackle play.
Mills and Harris were the main strength
for the Cubs in stopping the Belmonts'
attacks. Coach Ford was pleased with
