ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 25-lsabel
B. Holbrook, national secretary Of
the American section Of the Theo-
sophical Society in addressing the
national convention Of the organI2a-
ton last night on evolution, said
"When nearly half century ago,
theosophy reopened It's eyes upon
this earth, 1T saw the modern world
In verltable eclipse Of faith. Az
Mysticism was hourishIng; compara-
tive mythology was arraigRed
against Christianity; physiology had
captured Psychology
Evolution was then the open sea-
same of science; to accept 1t, as
theory, was tantamount to becoming
an enemy Of religion. But into this
bewilderment of mind TheosoDhy
suddenly came, asserting the Genesis
of the past as against the Agnostl-
cism Of the present, building the
facts OF comparative biologists
and psychologists into bulwarks Of
defense for the friends Of religion
instead Of leaving them as effective
weapons of attack in the hands Of Its
opponents. Evolution as the scrip
ture OF science and inyolutlon as the
scripture Of religion we're shown to
be but companion pages Of the
writings In the Book Of God, each
incomplete alone"

CHICAGO, August 25.-Friend Har-
vey. come into town the other day
with one idear in my mind and that
was to see the Brooklyn club play ball
and the reason was that l probably got
to report the world series and says
to myself if | am supposed to report
the world series and II Brooklyn wins
the pennant in the National league l
will look like sucker because l
haven't seen Brooklyn play for two
years and me supposed to be an eX-
pert
So l come to town with this idear
and | haven't seen the Brooklyns play
yet because | don't know how to get
out to the ball park and when | say
that | don't mean that don't know
that elevated takes man out there
but what mean is that the loop
hounds won't let man start and every
time you say you are going out to the
ball game they say Oh no wait min
ute and the result is that man can't
get on where's.
So here | am Harvey and the next
thing | know somebody on the paper
will say You got to go to the world
series and | will have to obey and l
will get there and it will be Brooklyn
against some American club and me
supposed to be an expert and will
get up there in the press stand and
look at the Brooklyn club and will
know just as much about them as if
they was last weeks laundry. Between
you and | Harvey l don't know Moth
ing about them except as follows;
Daubert is the first baseman and
throws left handed
Wheat is the left fielder.
Stengel is the right fielder and John
ston is the center fielder and Johnston
was with the White Sox once and can
run like deer but it don't do man
no good to run fast when they keep
hitting line drives to the catcher.
The second baseman is CutshaW and
he come from the Central leage and
must be good.
The third baseman and shortstop is
O'Mara and Olson and all as l know
about them is that they can't be the
same nationality.
The Catchers is McCarty and Meyers,
and McCarty must be a great catcher
because McGraw let Meyers go and
their pitchers is Larry Cheney and

Pfeffer and Marquard and Smith and
Dell and Rucker and Coombs and APP
pleton and all Of them gray with age
and they got the latest manager In
the world and they are thirty points
ahead OF their nearest rivals and will
probably win the pennant and heaven
help them against whoever wins the
America pennant.
But the idear is that me who Is sup
posed to be an expert will cover this
series and act like knowed something
about the ball players and only three
men on the club that l know we'll
enough TO call them by their first
names, namely Larry Cheney and
Jimmy Johnston and Richard Mar
guard.
But wrote up the convention also
and they's one thing can say that
though don't know nothing about the
Brooklyn ball club know more about
them than / did about the conventions
which wrote up with much success.
