George Swain continued his hitting

are the only men who have swatted
safely in every contest this season.
Swain is now leading every one with

Only four Keystoners reached first
base and Of these two we're easily re-
tired, the other two never even get
ting sight Of third base. much moro
home. Three hits and one hit batsman
is all that is chalked against Lefty.
Percy Wallace came back with a
vengeance. The lead off man Of the
Struggling Segs' pounded out three
hits In four trips to the plate. All were
intield taps but Walkers speed turned
them into hits.
Our happiness told in a few words
In the way our Lefty's going.
We have nothing now to fear.
For we know from what he's showing,
That he's running on high gear.
No ball team can come and maui him.
For his curves can not be found,
SO the fans have right TO call him,
mighty Marvel of the Mound"
The Keystone boys kept walking TO
the plate and waving their bat toward
the center field seats. Keep sitting
there, NJ. NJ, and at least II men will
wave their bats in that direction every
time the locals play.
From the way Finn had the Key.

Carson Segelken Is still In batting

A DEMOCRATIC CROWD
One of Lies Tragedies
Enatted on a Tulsa
Street Car.

1t was a cosmopolitan crowd tha,
had gathered at the stove end of "a
South Main street car Saturday morn
ing maze more cosmopolitan tnan
usual by the fact that few dared brave
the glasslike sidewalk, or the stiff
north gale which threatened even the
warmest woolens. AS the car APP
preached the intersection at Thtr-
teenth, a woman Of the "better class
hailed the motorman and with slide,
jerk and grind the car was stopped
and she brushed aboard.
AS she stepped up the aisle of the
ear she recognized one of her dearest
friends and in an apologetic voice
said:
Car Ont of Whack.
20. It's Anna How are you
And before Anna could answer she
declared in the same tone, 81 know
you are surprieed to see me In a
place like this, but you know our
Packard Is out of order and | Just
had TO do some shopping"
Hardly two seats behind the own
er of the high-price car sat a woman
who made use OF knitted scarf for
the same purpose Mrs. Carr was
using the finest mink. She could
have been going shopping from all
appearances. but 1t was probable that
the package in the seat by her side
contained laundry she was returning
to its owner. In her lap sat "A child
OF six years and few warm clothes.
ut is too bad the washwoman ue-
clared, half to he, self, half to her
son, and in a voice which all could
hear. that our Roadfinder Is out of
order and we have to ride In this rot
ten street car"
Mrs. Carr began to talk feverishly
of a recent charity in which she was
patron, but from the back OF the car
aud in that section of the coach re-
served for negroes sat n black
woman. probably of the slavery days,
who knew real men and real women
knew them from babyhood to mau
and womanhood She was alone, but
the crowd that had gathered around
the fuming coal stove served as her
audience and In a voice that drowned
out even the gossip of the Packard
owner the old nanny said:
"IIcnry" Lame.
"Yes-yes, It shuh It n shame that
weuns ladies has to ride in thing
like this But II nah mans Henry
hadn't busted down. we'll could have
rode to the bank mahself."
The motorman was awakened by n
continued ringing of the bell over his
head. With madness he brought the
car TO a stop and thru the crowd Mrs.
Owna Carr fitted. her face, but for
her eyes. concealed by the mink neck-
piece In haste she rushed to the
sidewalk and then proceeded afoot
| toward town
As the automatic door closed be-
hind her the laughter that rang out
from the street car was the best evi-
ience that Mrs. Carr had ventured
far from her proper sphere--she had
| tried TO mlngle In a crowd where
there was democracy--a cosmopoli-
tan crowd.

All German newspapers have COM
mented on this amazing prophecy.
1T Is remarkable" says one paper,
how accurately this monk has pre-
dicted events as they have thus far
occurred"
In view Of the fact that the proph-
ecy was discovered in Wismar rather
makes the reader wonder whether
any credence can be given the docu.
ment or whether II isn't Just Ger

WHITE BREAD ROLL CAUSES
GERMAN JEW TO GO HUNGRY
Restaurant Waiter Would Not Serve
Customer Who Carried

Special TO The World.
NORMAN, okla. Dec. 1G.-It was
all right for Ben Franklin to carry his
lunch in his seek, but it won't do to
carry u roll of white bread around on
wheatless days in oklahoma. The fol-
lowing story comes TO the food admin
istration from an oklahoma town:
A Jew of German extraction rushed
into a Greek restaurant on wheatless
day and ordered ham and eggs for
breakfast. The Greek asked him
which he preferred, rye or graham
bread. The Jew twitched himself
about in his chair and said he did not
care for any bread. When the order
was brought the waiter noticed that
the Jew was unrolling a loaf of white
bread that he had been carrying un-
der his arm. The waiter was not out
done but Immediately said: This is
a wheatless day here. sir, and you
can't eat that white bread i'm here"
and took the order back. The Jew, in
Hunnsh accent, was heard to remark: /:
Mine Gott, he gifes me en- lessun en-
Hooverizin'," and shuffling' his hands
In characteristic fashion. scornfully
left the place.

An-Russian Assembly
May Mark Passing
OF Political Crisis
Disaster at Front Likely to
Turn Out Blessing
to Country
By ISAAC DON LEVINE

Two weeks ago the all-powerful So
cialist Council of Workmen and SOL
diers voted TO dissolve the bourgeois
Duma. Yesterday Karensky issued a
call for a joint session of the Duma
and the Council.
No more striking proof Of the rapid
transformation Of Russia Is possible.
Nationalism and patriotism are sweep
ing Russia. The internationalists are
hourly losing prestige, and to save
their control Of the state they are
forced to swim with the tide. The
MaSimalists certainly have helped Rus
sin politically. They have made of the
Socialist doctrinaires politicians and
opportunists.
This is II big step forward in the New
Russia's political education. II she Is
able to halt the Teutonic advance in
Galicia, the sacrifice in men and ter
ritory will not have been in vain. The
disaster at the front will indeed be-
come q blessing il only because Of its
resulting in the all-Russian national
assembly, representing all the social
organizations and political bodies,
scheduled to meet at Moscow in two
days.
This assembly is likely to become the
great landmark and turning point in
the Russian revolution. When czar-
ism fell Russia was one. Parties and
factions were forgotten. But unfortu-
nately that condition did not last long.
Labor began to seek power. This thirst
for authority on the part Of one faction
of the country's population brought
Russia TO the brink Of collapse. Labor's
dictatorship was its own doom. A re-
action set in. And now labor will be
fortunate TO retain part of the author
ity il possessed but a few days ago.
Russia Is about to undergo another
internal operation. This time the oper-
alton will be performed by the most
competent body obtainable, an assembly
representing all shades Of public opin-
ion, all classes, parties and national or
ganizations. II the military crisis is
weathered in time the political crisis
will make Russia stronger than ever.

Lewis, Will Receive Most

days after he had obtained g divorce
under the Florida laws from his first

After his death his widow came into
possession of the bulk OF his S70,OOO,-
