FOR FIRST TIME
IN THE WORLD SERIES
New York and Chicago Never Have
Met Before for
Title.

In the long history of world series
play for the championship of the base
ball universe it is doubtful if any pre-
vious contest of this character aroused
the widespread interest which has been
engendered by the coming clash be-
tween the Chicago Americans and the
New York Nationals. Although world
series play is not new to either of the
cities represented by clubs in the finale
of the professional base ball year, it
will be the first time that New York
and Chicago clubs have met for the
premier honors of the diamond.
This is all the more remarkable when
it is considered that the world series
dates back to 1884 and has continued
in one form or another and with but
few breaks for more than thirty years
The ensuing series will be the twenty
sixth since the Providence club of the
National League faced the Metropoli
tan team of the American Association
in the initial contest back in 1854, and
emerged victor in three straight games.
1t Will also be the thirteenth played
under the code and jurisdiction of the
national commission, which in 1905 ar
ranged for an annual meeting between
the pennant-winning clubs of the two
ma jor leagues.
OF the twelve series staged under
these rules the American League teams
have won seven and the National
League clubs five. Sixty-six games
have been played, of which the Ameri-
cans have won thirtythree and the
Nationals thirty-one with two result
ing in tie contests. But one run divided
the records of the two leagues in this
respect. as during these sixty-siX
games the National League players
have crossed the plate 223 times to
their rivals 222.

GREAT CLIFFORD IS DEAD.
Leading Race Horse CT Generation

AMSTERDAM. n. Y. September 2S.-
The once mighty Clifford is dead at
John Sanford's farm. Clifford was
twenty-seven years old. In the early
'90s he was one of the best and most
consistent horses on the turf.
Carrying the colors of Gen. Leigh and
r. l.. Rose, he started in sixty-two races
and was unplaced on only two occa-
sions. He won forty-two events, fin
ished second ten times and was third
eight times. He was by Bramble out
of Duchess. As four-year-old he was
said at auction and brought $4,000.

Both Clubs Charter Members.

Another interesting feature of the
meeting of the Chicago and New York
clubs is the fact that both may be
said to hold charter membership in
their respective organizations. The
New York team entered the senior base
ball circuit on formation in 1876, and
finished sixth that season. At the close
of the schedule play the combination
dropped out and did not return until
1888. from which date its connection
with the National League has been
continuous The Chicago White Sox
played prominent part in the forming
of the American League in 1900, and
has also held continuous membership
in the junior league since that year.
In this period of eighteen years the
capturing flags in 1900. 1901. 1905 and
1917. The club has figured in but one
world series. however, meeting and de-
feating the Chicago Nationals by four
games to two in 1906. The New York
Nationals have n more extensive record
in this respect owing to longer connec-
tion with the senior league. Since 1876
the club has won seven league cham
pionships and three world series, and
its average position for thirty-six sea-
sons is four and n very small fraction.
Chicago's showing in this department
of the records is even better, the White
Sox having gained the high average OF
"a over stretch of eighteen years.
Pennants rewarded the work of the
New York club players in 1888. 1889.
1904. 1906, 1911. 1912. 1913 and again
this season. In 1883 the Giants defeat
ed the st. Louis American Association
team in the world series of those days,
ten games to four, and the following
season won from Brooklyn of the same
circuit six games to three. In 1905
they defeated the Philadelphia Ameri-
cans four games to one. having refused
to meet the Boston Americans the pre-
vious year The Philadelphia Athletics
secured revenge when the teams met
in 1911 winning four games to two.
Boston Red SoX maintained the Ameri-
can League record by defeating the
Giants four games out of seven in 1912
and the next season Philadelphia re-
peated at the New York clubs expense
winning four games to one.

The Evolution Of Flour.

ANSWERED THE GALL.
(By G. r. Minkler.)

(By G. r. Minkler.)
The boys have answered the coun-
try's call,
And 1t seems as II none were left at
all,
Our homes so empty, the two so dead,
And the sun seems darkened over
head
Oh, it's only so short time since
they
Were little lads at their childish play.
We felt the shake Of the village street
Under the tread Of their marching
feet,
AS the long brown line entrained that
day
For the field of service so far away.
But in spite Of the ache our lives
must know,
We thrilled with pride when we saw
them go.
So eager to go, no slackers they,
The boys, our lads of yesterday.
What shall we do when the long
nights come
And we wake from dreaming Of fife
and drum
And seem to hear on each passing
breeze
The roar of battle from over seas?
Will the pride we feel sustain us then
When we think of our laddies grown
to men,
Doing their part In this hour Of need.
Following straight where the flag
may lead,
Whether It wave o'er the seas below
Or over the trench of foreign foe?
Oh, they took our hearts when they
marched away
The boys that answered the call that
day.
We will hope and pray as the long
days go
We may quickly vanquish the treach-
erous foe,
And our country freed from wars
alarms,
Bring safely back to our waiting arms
With unbroken ranks as they
marched away
The boys that answered the call that
day.
