We only know life at it's best Who take the Game as it may go; Who face the Fate and the final test With heads tip to the closing blow. Who'd rather charge on than retreat, And yet who hold the Game too high To have it wrecked by a defeat
 Or have it shadowed by a sigh. Our effort is to give our all,
 In valiant hope that this will win; But if, by chance, we come to falL We hold no failure as a sin; But rather, with a stouter heart, That sees no reason to despond, We gather for another start
 Against the day that waits beyond. To know the prize is not our creed, For we have found rewards will
 wait
 Somewhere-some time-above our
 need
 As long as we can face our Fate With unbowed head-without a tear Regardless of the goal at stake, With souls that have forgotten fear And hearts that Heaven couldn't
 break.

Cobb Travels Fast.

Detroit, Sept. 1S-A1theugh playing a very poor game in the field, Detroit managed to defeat Philadelphia, 6 to 5, yesterday by hitting Bush at oppor- tune times and running the bases with good judgment, The game went ten innings, Cobb scoring the winning tally. He dreW-e-base- on balls and went all the way from first to third on Veachs sacrifice. Crawford was purposely walked to bring up He'll man a-righthand batter, The latter drove a fly to deep center, on which Brown did not even attempt a throw. Bush was very unsteady throughout the game, Coveleskie pulled out of several tight spots in which his poor support placed him.

"Babe" Ruth's Pitching Gains
 Second Place for Hub Team

Chicago, Sept 18.-Boston went in to second place yesterday when they defeated Chicago here to 2. Ruth was in fine form and allowed the To- calls but five hits, three of which, when punched in the first inning, netted two runs.
 Faber's wildness in the third inning proved his undoing. He walked Gard ncr and Scott, and Thomas followed with a single which filled the bases, Ruth then hit a high bounder to Faber and before the ball came down Gardner scored. Hooper singled to center, and Scott and Thomas scored. giving the worlds champions a lead which the locals could not overtake.
 The crowd that witnessed the game was said by club officials to be 40 900, the largest that ever attended game in the South Side park.
