The Allies Will Win If They
Keep At 1t.

Saturday Evening Post.
When we look back upon the
Civil war nothing is clearer than
that the North was sure to win,
provided it had the determine.
ton 10 win; for in effective pop
ulation and material resources il
outnumbered the South three to
one. For a time blunders on
one side and more capable mill
tary leadership on the other
might suspend the judgment; but,
as we see it now. there never
was any doubt as to what the
judgment would be, provided
the North kept on fighting.
When the campaign for Lin
coins second election opened
the war had continued longer
than the European war has. Lee
had repulsed Grant at Cold Har
Dor, where six thousand Union
soldiers fell in an hour. AS cleo
tioneering began, neither Grant
nor Sherman seemed to be ma
king material gains, in spite of
frightful losses. 1t is still ques-
ton whether. save for successes
won by the Union armies before
November, Lincoln would have
been reelected. The idea that
the war was failure impressed
many people in the North, and
Lincoln's popular vote in the
loyal states was only ten per
cent greater than that of his op-
ponent. The next spring the
Confederacy collapsed.
In men and materials the AL
lies outweigh Germany far more
heavily than the North out.
weighed the South. They are
sure to win, provided they hold
the determination to win. Time
is on their side. Every month
in which Germany gains no ad-
vantage counts for the party
with the most men and the long
est purse.

BROOKLYN KEEPS REDS
 ON SLIDE BY GRABBING
 FOURTH STRAIGHT GAME

Cincinnati, Aug. 3-Even the pres ence of several thousand schoolboys failed to stop the toboggan ride of the Reds yesterday. The Superbas fold ed their tents and stole away, possess ors of four straight victories. The fourth game went to the Dodgers by 6 to 2.
 Hitting three Red pitchers freely the rejuvenated Dodgers made it a holocaust Pete Schneider started for Matty. For six innings he pitched fine ball and allowed the Dodgers only one run to compare with the two the Reds had to their credit. And then Pete became the target of some vici- ous Brooklyn hitting.
 The Reds got two runs in the first, which lets their offensive efforts out, as Cheney's splitter was breaking nice ly. With Groh out on an infield pop, Kopf singled. Roush beat out a bunt. Chase flied to Johnson and Kopf scored, and Roush went to third when the Dodger left fielder dropped the ball. Roush scored while Olson was throwing out Griffith.

LYONS TWlRLS IN
 GOOD FORM BUT LOSES TO HARTFORD

Hartford, Aug. 3-After tn Sena- of the double bill with Bridgeport into. the winning column yesterday afternoon at the Wethersf1eld avenue grounds, and with things looking sweet for victory in the second tilt, the weather man cut loose with a thunder storm. and the eminent Mutt Waters, who is filling in on the um- pirical staff, was forced to call off proceedings. With Ralph Head pitching in masterly style Pieper's charges broke through with d tri- umph in the initial battle in the eighth when three hits produced a to victory. In the final stanza the Americans looked alarming, but Head soon revived with the tying runs on the second and third, and famed Lear.
 Head had the better of Frank Lyons who was a member of the local staff last season, although the latter turned back the Senators in order in the first four innings, and his defeat came with two down. Both
 pitchers showed excellent control, only one batsman drawing a pass with Lyons being the generous one.
 It was Eddie Reichle, who swatted out the opening conquest. With two counted out, the ubiquitous outer gardener rapped a single to right field which chased home Roth from second | and fast sprinting by Roy Grimes enabled the Hartford shortstop also to register
 Guy Finn, the Bridgeport right fielder, has no use for Reichle. In the eighth inning Finn smashed a long, high fly slated for the bull but RAeichle was on his job and stuck 1 up his hands, bagged the smash. Ii was an even question whether the drive would have hit the bull.

ROBERTSON MAY
 BE SNAPPED F0R
 PITCHER MAMAux

Pittsburgh, Aug. 3.-It was reported here last night that Pittsburgh had purchased George Kelley from the Giants, at price not made public. The understanding is that Kelley will play first base for the Pirates.
 5. Kelley, who earned reputation as fence breaker with the Portland, Ore, club, has been warming the Giant bench for the last two seasons. New York has used him for general utility purposes, though he has failed asia pinch hitter, to live up to his Coast reputation. The manager of the Giants year ago last spring schooled Kelley at first base as, un- derstudy for Fred Merkle. Last spring Kelley tried his hand at, pitching and took part in several exhibition games.
 The fact that Wilhoit is making good for New York, having crowded Davey Robertson out of his lineup for the time, put Kelley in the ex- cess baggage class.
 It was, also rumored yesterday, though the story could not be con- frmed, that New York was likely to get Pitcher Al Mamaux from the Pi- rates. According to local gossip, Ma maux will be traded for Davey Rob- ertson. The deal is practically closed it is said, but there is a slight differ ence in opinion as to the cash Sost which will figure.

FRANKIE CONIFREY AFTER
 CHICK BROWN ONCE MORE

Jack Moore, who manages Frankie Conifrey, the Battling Fireman" can't understand why Chick" Brown, the New Haven lightweight boxer. does not pay any attention to the numerous challenges issued by him on behalf of Conifrey.
 Moore says that he has issued over a dozen challenges to Brown, all of which have been widely published in all of the! Connecticut leading news papers, but, up to the present time. Brown. nor his packer have not paid the slightest attention to them. "It certainly looks as if Brown Is afraid of Conifrey." said Moore as he lit a fresh Pittsburgh stogie-fresh all the way from Wheeling. Continuing on, Jack added, "Why, Brown and Conf frey would draw more money than any other bout that could be staged in the Nut Meg state, and just why Brown. won't go through with the match has got me guessing. Brown has told his friends that he could lick < Conifrey If he really believes this statement why doesn't he make the match? We are so anxious to get Brown h the ring that will agree to any terms that Brown may sug- gest"

BIG CROWD WILL
 SEE TANKS. PLAY HERE NEXT SUNDAY

It looks as if Newd Id park will hold its biggest crowd Of the season on Sunday afternoon when the New York Americans will play the Bridge port club. Manager Bill Donovan ot the Yankees, has promised to send his regular lineup, the only doubtful one being Home Run Baker, who is ex- cused from exhibition games.
 John F. Gunshannon, who arranged the contest for the lenefit of the Elm ployes' Relief Tuberculosis fund, is !. personal friend of B.-Ker's and has written asking the noted slugger to appear in the game if only for a few innings. He expects to hear from Baker tomorrow. Lefty High, Roger Peckinpaugh. Marsans, Pipp and oth' CT stars, will surely be here, though.
 Tickets for the game will be 25 cents for admission and 50 cents extra for the grand stand. Reserved seat tickets are on sale at The Farmer business office and no more tickets will be sold than the capacity of the stand For that reason every one who buys a grand stand ticket is assured of get ting a seat.
