CHICAGO, oct. 6.-Wlth all the grip
ping interest that could be mustered
from the spectacle OF representatives
Of the natlont two greatest cities
meeting In a worlds SERIES Chicago
stood expectantly today, waiting the
signal that would send the Giants and
the White Sox into their first grapple
this afternoon.
Vacant over a period Of years since
the Cubs last fell, Chicagos baseball
heart was full TO overlooking today,
for It was her FIRST worlds series with
New York and II was the second time
an American league club had carried
the Windy Citys hopes 90 the post.
Back IN 1906. when George Robe Frank
Isbell and other departed stars OF the
dim past were IN harness for the
White Sox, the team met the famous
Cubs and rolled them back, winning a
worlds championship from Frank
Chances machine.
The White Sox are beloved In Chi
caFo. FAR more than ever was the case
I for the Cubs. Great as they were, the
former terrors Of the National league,
didn't excite the futter Of admiration
that sweeps the South Side OF Chicago
when the name Of Charles A. Comls-
! key IS mentioned. A real philanthropy
| ist, beloved by every one with whom
/ he comes In contact, Comiskey has
given Chicago a great baseball club,
one that had fought its way through
season cluttered up with obstacles.
Chicago is proud and grateful. The city
will mortgage everything handy and
bet lt on the American league cohorts.
Hogged by the east for 30 long. the
worlds series takes on a new signil-
canoe with Us playing this year. The
pep OF the west Is going In 10 replace
the lethargy Of the east. The fact that
the Giants and the White Sox are con-
sldered 10 be more evenly matched

between Rcd Sox and Giants adds more
punch Go the whirlpool OF sentiment
and interest that Is engulnng the big

fact that New York money predomi

are causes Of coal waste.
I run my locomotive so can get
the most out OF her with the least
amount OF coal. The saving Of one
shovelful in eight means about one ton
a day and with our more than 1900
engines in service on this road, to-
gether with all other roads In the
United States, the total would mean
many thousands Of tons saved daily.
Another important factor is the ne
cessity for manly honesty among rail-
road men I'm reporting violations Of
safety precautions, such as improper
tagging, failure TO use fuses at proper
time. Accidents would be reduced n
engineers and other railroad men
would only help 10 bring up the STAN
dard Of efficient and safe tagging by
reporting 20 the officials OF the COM
pany violations Of the rules. Accidents
are not only dangerous, but they de-
crease the efficiency OF the road In do
ing the work necessary for the gov
eminent and the people at a time when
every ounce Of effort must be effec-
lively used
The way to win this war is for every
man 20 cooperate and do his share
TO the best Of his ability. We have to
help each other. and we all have TO
bend a little.
The railroads are doing gigantic
work for the government. They are
doing It well, and all railroad men are
working together for one obiect-the
winning Of the war.

The Finn of Present Days
BY AL"

Beneath the summers golden sun,
when balls begin TO fly
I sit me down TO watch again, another
batter die,
Once more see Old Lefty's curves
sweep onward through the haze /;
Hurrah, hurrah-you bet that is the
Finn Of other days.
Ah-shades OF Holien. Richards, Gray;
Culver, Scott and Jolls-
Then rival teams were local meat. but
now their death knell tolls;
Now play by play we sweep the field,
while rooters shout with craze.
We see our one star pitch once more
like Finn Of other days,
Holten's reign has vanished now--and
Richards day Is done,
But Lefty Finn now flashes forth, a
new better gun;
Uncertain slow and out OF gear, the
rival nine fights on
And low at dusk their banner droops
beneath Old Lefty's Drawn.
Glare down Old Hccate, from on high
and let our rivals heed
For Lefty Finn has come 10 rule with
curves and worlds OF speed;
Tho local ieam has found ITS place and
through Times drifting haze
Our sympathics 20 the nine that meet.

HOW TO BREAK
IN Gun Shy DOG

In breaking a gun-shy dog do not at
tempt much work. and. under no circum-
stances, apply force. The thing to do is
70 take tue dog hunting every day with
out gun. Ii there Is a dog in the KEN
mel that hunts well, he may be allowed
TO 60 afeld with such dog now and
again. In all probability, he will walk
70 heel while the other dog hunts.
In the course OF a few days he will
begin TO take an interest in starting
out, either with or without the other
dog Eventually the dog will 60 out,
and. once he gets taste Of game, he
will put more spirit in his work.
In the end, he may hunt well, point
birds, and. possibly, chase them. For
chasing he may be restrained mildly, but
otherwise he should be permitted % nave
his own way. He may even be worked
with a steady old dog and taught to
back. II he will search for birds and
point them the breaker can make ana
attempt az getting him accustomed "a
the report of n gun. A. first he IS "a
snap caps while the dog is far away
taking care that the dog does not sec
the pistol. Then he will try the effect
of light charges Of powder.
Should the breaking of caps OF the
discharge of powder brighten the dog
the breaker is TO treat the matter will
absolute indifference. II the dog choosI
to come TO heel, let him have his owl
way. Ellen he gets ready he viii 60 q
work again.
When the dog gets 30 that he wil
pay no attention 10 the cracking OF d
cap az a distance he may be accustomed
TO the noise at closer range Before The
gun is discharged il should be carried
aheld for a few days. The dog may not
like the looks Of it at first but hi
suspicious will wear of.

NEW YORK, oct. 6.-Staying on the
Job and saving coal are my two most
valuable contributions 10 the country
In its present crisis.
Railroad labor has never been as
scarce as Il Is today. The draft has
taken many men and many more have
volunteered. The railroad regiments
which are helping France were re-
crulted from the employees of the rail-
roads; and the roads were shorthand
ed before these men volunteered. The
first great duty Of every railroad man
is, therefore, 10 work as hard as he can
and 10 remain on the job.

"Katinka" Has
Lively Songs

That musical comedy lyrics need
not necessarily be series of non
sense syllables through which to
string the thread of the compos-
er's melody, is illustrated in "Ka-
tinka,' which Arthur Hammer
stein will send to the Tacoma the
alter Thursday night.
One of the songs, for example,
~ Want to Marry a Male Quar-
tette," has a keenly satirical idea
back of it. The fair young singer
in search OF husband puts forth
the theory that four men would
be little more trouble around the
house than one, and having four
there would always be a chance
that one might amount to some
thing.
Another song, your Photo
suggests that kissing the glass
that frames it is a Chilly occupa-
tion,' and it would be well for
You to hurry home. The seat sale
will start Wednesday.
