BUCK
WEAVER

If the White SOx win the
American league pennant and
go into the world series, they
may be deprived of the ser~
vices of their regular third
baseman, Buck Weaver.
Weaver broke his finger in a
recent game. There is no hope of
him playing ball for at least three
weeks, and 1t may be that he will
not be able to get into the game
for the final drive or the world
series.
Playing at third base where a
man must handle vicious drives at
short range, player with a bad
finger is not much of an asset.
In case Weaver is not able to
get back into the game, his place
will be filled by McMullin, who
has taken his place since he was
incapacitated.
While McMullin is not in Weav-
er's class as a third baseman, he
has been filling in creditably dur
ing Bucks absence.
Should Weaver be kept out of
the game during the world series,
should the Sox win, 1t would be
the second time that the White
Sox went into the national classic
without the services of their regu-
lar third sacker.
In 1906 when the White
Sox and Cubs battled for the
world championship, Lee
Tannehill, the regular third
baseman. was moved to short.
stop when George Davis was
injured and could not play.
George Robe, an almost
unknown youngster, took
Tannehilrs place at third.
Robe was one of the heroes of
the series. He scored one of the
Sox two runs with triple in the
first game and won the third
game with a triple with the bases
full. He had prominent part in
winning the fifth and sixth games.
In 1914 the Boston Braves had
similar experience. A few days
before the end of the season, Red
Smith, the regular third base
man, broke his leg sliding into
second. His place was taken by
Charley Deal, an inexperienced
youth.
Deal scored the only run of the
second game and fielded errorless
ball during the season.
McMullin at one time played
third for the Tacoma Tigers
and was sold to the Coast league
by Joe McGinnity, and went up
to the big noise" from there.

Centenary of George Henry Lewes

In spite of the distractions of the war, the centenary of the birth of George Henry Lewes, the brilliant philosophic essayist, critic and free thinker, will be celebrated to-day by several English literary and scientific bodies. To the general public Lewes is best known as the unmarried con sort of George Eliot. the devoted and affectionate if unconventional lover of that gifted woman, and the man who inspired her to the attainment of the heights of literary achievement. It was Lewes, with his keen discernment, who caused Marian Evans to embark on the career of a novelist, thus to win immortal fame under the pen name of George Eliot, and it was at his suggestion that she began those powerful literary creations, which, from the publication of the first in- stallment of the Scenes of Clerical life" made her the most celebrated of woman fiction writers. When Lewes and Marian Evans took up their residence together in 1854 they were severely condemned by English society, and were ostracised by the. polite world. In the course of time, when 1t was perceived that their rela- tions were harmonious and mutually helpful, and in fact, that their union was ideal save for the sanction of the law and the church, they were for given by all except the extreme stick lers for convention.
 The hero of this unconventional TO- nance was born in London on April 18, 1917, and was grandson of famous comedian. After receiving an excellent education he became a clerk

 It was when she broke away from the Christian faith and became an avowed nationalist that Marian Evans was brought into contact with the leading freethinkerS of that period, among whom was Lewes.

Under the English law husband who condoned one offence of this kind could not obtain a divorce, and, al- though separated from his recreant spouse, he could not legally take an other. Deeply in love with the phil osopher, Miss Evans is said to have suggested and urged the arrangement which was put into effect in 1854. Having determined upon her course, Miss Evans, who was then thirty-four made no attempt to keep her uncon- ventional alliance a secret, but, on the contrary, informed all her friends.
