| What are the chances of the Reds
This is the problem confronting the
baseball world as the clubs are
rounding the turn for the final drive
on the stretch, with the Giants some
eight games out in front.
| Let us look into the chances OF
Matty's, outfit to play for the big
money this October.
Eight games at this point is con-
siderable margin, especially when the
clubs referred to are playing about
the same kind OF baseball.
1t means that the club eight games
behind, must not only win every time
the other club wins, but that it must
play enough better ball to win eight
games while the other club is losing
eight.
The Giants have been playing 667
ball this season. SO far there has
been nothing to indicate they will
drop If the Giants continue playing
SCI Eall the Reds face the hopeless
task Of playing $50 ball to catch
them.
But there are two or three condi-
lions which favor the Reds in the
final drive.
They have about 60 games to
play, while the Giants must play
rs including number Of double
headers.
The Reds have some IS games

Giants only have rs, not count
ing double bills. .j5ssSs.
On their last trip the Reds payssS
ed 200 baseball, while the GiaRt
were playing .667 baseball at the
Polo grounds. Y
If the Reds can play better base
ball at home than on the road and
the Giants hit slump on the road
the eight game lead may be lessened
considerably. That of course is a
question only the games can decide.
Then in the matter of double
headers. Can the Giant pitchers
stand strain Of a long string of
double bills?

would be practically an invalid for life.

wait until hours afterward to find
out who won, for the Legiens live 10

this is what you see:

the end of every inning-unless the
game goes 10 innings, in which case
he holds pigeon number nine-he
writes the score on slip of paper,

bird, and lets it fly. High above the
diamond the homer circles and then

Legion, resting on her front porch,
takes the fluttering bird from her
shoulder and puts it in it's box.

paper from the leg-ring.

"Such decision is becoming more
and more evident each day by practi-
cal work and results and shows itself
in the pressing and rapid reorganiza-
ton Of the army, which is now being
fulfilled under the firm and efficient
measures adopted by Minister Keren-
sky.
The Russian people thoroughly I'M
derstand and are fully convinced that
it is absolutely necessary to root out
the autocratic principles which under
lie and are represented by German
militarism and which threatens the
peace, the freedom and the happiness
of the world. The Russian people feel
that no stable peace al be secured
until the German autocratic principles
are destroyed and that otherwise the
revolution will have been in vain and
it's achievements will perish.
New Russia is in full accord with
the motives which impelled the United
States to enter the war, in striving
to destroy German tyranny to estab-
lish peace on a secure and permanent
foundation and to make the world
safe for democracy.
"We are representing here the po-
litical unity which has been crystal
lied in Russia and around which a
national program has been developed
To our host of friends in the United
States we appeal and without distinc-
ton Of party or class we will work

THE JOLLY JUVENILl:
MINSTREL TO BE REPEATED

The Jolly Juvenile Minstrel, an
amateur performance, which was
given with such marked c in
Greenwood last Friday night, for the
benefit of new Methodist church, will
be repeated under the auspices and
for the benefit of Red Cross, Thurs
day evening, June 18th at Green
wood. All those who attended last
week are loud in their praise and
give the young people great credit
for the splendid manner in which
they acquitted themselves.
The play was written and coached
by Mrs. Joel S. Aiken Of Greenwood.
Although the play is new, its sue
cess is already assumed. A number
of directors who r coaching for
Red Cross benefits, speak very high
ly of it.
"The Postum Hunting Drill"
"Aces Spades trip to Philadelphia"
A pantomime by the "Gold Dust
Twins" and "The Panther" are
some of the specialties.
A new feature entitled "The Sol
diers Dream" a succession of tab
leaux and Pantomimes, has been
added for Thursday night. This will
be presented by a number of young
ladies and gentlemen of the town,
and promises to be quite an .attrac-
ton in itself.
The Jolly Juvenile Minstrel has
the distinction of being the only
minstrel written exclusively for
children. 1t is hoped a large audi
ence will be present to help the chill
dren "Do their bit."-Adv.

THE RED CROSS CAMPAIGN.

The campaign to raise five thou
sand dollars in Abbeville County by
voluntary subscriptions within &
week, ended Monday afternoon a
six o'clock. We reached the goal
with a little more than three hun
dred dollars to spare.
The campaign in the United
States was little advertised, and ir
rural sections, like u own, there
was not sufficient time to properly
organize the campaign and carry or
the work. Only the fact that the
hearts of the people of the county
were in the work made it possible
for us to cross the mark set for us
The people everywhere responded
nobly to the cause. If we were to
mention one community rather than
another which worked better than
any other we would say that the peo'
pie of Donalds fairly led in the con-
test, but the people of Due West
and Antreville did so well that there
is no room for Boosting. And In the
city of Abbeville the people paid the
sum of thirty-ive hundred dollars
in round numbers. At Calhoun Falls
and Lowndesville, and in Long Cane

THE KAISER AND HIS FRIENDS

There are a good many things in
America just now which do not
please the Kaiser. He does not like
President Wilson, nor Congress, nor
does he look with favor on the men
of the army and navy, because IN
them he sees trouble for himself.
But the most contemplate things
the Kaiser ices in America are a few
people of small calibre who try to
distinguish themselves by talking
against the government under which
they live, and what gives them pro-
lection and for which they contri-
butte so little. These the Kaiser loves
the least in his own heart, because
the Kaiser is first of all a patriot.

township, the campaign did not
start so early but they did their
part we'll too.
We feel today that everybody is
glad that Abbeville county is not q
Stacker. Even thoss who might have
done more take pride in what the
others did, and there is satisfaction
enough to 60 around to all.
The happy conclusion is due to
the unselfsh and untiring work done

GUS teams who raised the money
They made it possible to win, and
to them should 60 the great credit
for our success.

SERVICE o ALL.

As one of the ministers said on
Sabbath in his pulpit, there are three
lines of service in this great war in
which we are taking a part just now;
First. There is service at the
front where the brave young man.
hood of the nation will bare its
breast in the battles of freedom,
Only brave men go there, but there
are brave men in every hamlet OF
this great country, and they count
it but little to die, if only they die
in a righteous cause. They spring
from men who had the courage to
die in the wars gone before, and
they are not untrue to their fathers
and g~randfathers. They had rattle,
die than be slackers.
Second. There is the great army
of surgeons, physicians, nurses and
Red Cross workers, who are going to
France to offer their services to hell
the bleeding and wounded soldiers
of our country, to succor the strick'
en- people of the great republic
across the waters, to teach the blind
to see and to read, to give homes to
the homeless, and a chance to live
to those who are all but forsaken.
Lastly. There is a fighting force
at home, which must stand behind
the other two classes. 1t is but 8
poor service which we render, but
it is what is required of US. And
compared with what others r of.
fering the country, we are offering
but little, if we give to the country
all that we have been entrusted with
A few dollars given to get rid OF
those who ask in the name Of the
government, humanity and mercy, is
not service of course. We only
serve by giving when we deny our
selves of what otherwise would be
necessities, when we give ~cheerfully
when it hurts us to give, not when
it hurts our misery hearts, but
when it takes from US some of the
things which we ourselves need.
: We should e thankful that we
live in a day when we may be OF
some service, real service, to the
country. The American spirit must
be purified in the fire of giving and
of service. The selfish spirit which
we have nursed so long must be sub
dued and conquered.
Get behind the government. There
Is service for all.
