victory over New York, during which
the regulars were given a final re-
hearsal. Red SoX worked out at the
Braves park and will go through ths
same program today.
Every indication now is that Rob.
insOn will use RUDE Marquard, the
wry-necked soUthpaw, in the opener.
The RUDE can pitch another game
in the series without any trouble.
Pfeffer will be held until the second,
being stronger, which will enable
him to pitch again.
Guessing Carrigan's pitcher is diff
ficult. He started almost every Sc
ries this year with Dutch Leonard
and may follow the same program
against the National leaguers. Shore
is also a possibility. Ruth will prob
ably be held until the second game.
Mays will be on the warming pan for
rescue purposes. His delivery is diff
ferent from that of any other Red
SOx hurler and the change should be
battling in the midst of a game.
Doping a short series like the one
for the championship of the globe is
usually based on records of the re-
spective players during the season.
And that isn't a proper criterion of
what the hired men will do in a post
season event.
Some men play far above their
seasonal average in such a clash and
others fall away. Duffy Lewis last
season was a notable example. Man
for man, the Red Sox are money
players. They are almost unbeatable
through a short stretch where every
play is important. They have been
through the fire and are not awed by
great crowds. They have come from
behind times innumerabIe. No mat
ter what the cold statistics show
and even these slightly favor the
American leaguers - Boston should
be victorious over the Dodgers.

receipts.
The second game Of the series
showed no T4de margin in the class
of the two clubs except in the run
way department, and what the Cubs
did and failed to do on the paths was
fatal to a chance that may not pre-
sent itself again. In the ninth, one
out, runner on first and Jimmy Arch
er on second, Mann singled to center.
Archer was sent home. He was out
on a fast play at the plate, even
though. Felsch's throw was wide. A
perfect throw would have turned Jim
back Is feet from the plate.
One run wasn't worth any more to
the Cubs at that stage of the pro-
ceedings than the Republican vote Of
Texas is to Hughes. And Archer is
a VIGOROUSLY slow runner. Follow
ing Mann were Safer and Williams,
both left-handed batters of the lung
ing type, liable to connect at any
time against a pitcher like Faber.
Earlier in the proceedings, with
Zeider on first, Workman doubled to
right. Zeider was held at third, de-
spite the fact that two were out and
Jimmy Lavender was the next batter
and Jim hasn't made a hit since
Hector was pup. The throw to the

GOING AT IF RIGHT.

Over in East Arkansas the farmers are going into stock raising on the right principle. Several counties of that section, as we'll as several in Southwest Arkansas, have agen,s securing Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma and ether states, picking up registered bulls to be used in building up che standard. The farmers have joined in raising sufficient funds for the pur- chase of a number of bulls, and banks have encouraged them in doing so.
 Stock growing has become recog- nized as the real profit of the farm, ana the efforts of the government ag- riculturalist, with the county and state forces to assist them, would be for naught, after their grand work in diversification, if the farmers did not grasp the importance of stock raising.
 Count on the Little Rock jobbers and manufacturers always to assist i'll any movement of this kind, for it is truly community builder. The state is but collection of communities, hence it is state builder, and any thing that will improve the Empire of Arkansas is to be welcomed.

RE YE NOT DECEIVED.

Right now is the time to practice a bit of thrift in Arkansas. Unless it is practiced someone is going to be like the summer singing grasshopper when winter comes on.
 With cotton coming on a month earlier, and bringing prices that are far above expectations, Arkansas IS right in the middle of prosperity, or a free spending season which will pass for such.
 Many people, because there is much money passing now, are using it as though it was extra, and that the cot ton money will come in just as usual, and the season last through the win ter. They seem to think they will have money now and later too-eat the loaf and still have it. They will have nothing in January if they do not save now
 There is just so much cotton to sell, and when it is sold the shiftless will have to go back to the old supply system again. If they exercise any Judgment, and cut out some of the luxuries, there will be money to spend all through the year, and the good times continued.
 It is the farmer who is selling cot ton now. The man higher up is buy ing all that is offered, but he is not turning IL loose. He is holding it be cause he knows the crop is short, ana

THEY ARE NOT ALL NATIVES.

While every wholesale house of Lit tie Rock, or the majority of them, has one or more head that is a native Arkansan, there is always room at the top for outsiders, and they are en- couraged to constantly push the home products for their honors. In this manner the Arkansans are always OH edge, constantly working to show the world what they can do. Their sue cess indicates that there are many competent Aakansans, able to hold their own, and to ask no favors sim ply because they happen to be born in Arkansas. Arkansas has as bright minds as any state. We have sent away thousands to surprise the out side world, but kept a liberal supply of brains at home, and keep it con tinually polished by contact with the best blood from other states.
