LONGEST WORLDS SERIES PLAYED IN 1912
Series Vert Eight Games Between
 Giants and Red Sox.

The longest worlds series yet play ed, excepting the first one, when the niEe-game system was in use, was the 1912 clash between the Giants and the Red SoX. This set went to, eight games for a decision, due to the fact that the second game ended in dark ness with the score tied. The Giants, after appearing to be beaten, tied up this series in the seventh game. only to lose in the ei"hth. The 1903 series went eight games. but this was one below the limit agreed upon, whereas the 1912 series went beyond the usual limit. The 1902 series between the Pirates and Tigers went to the sev enth game for decision, but ten of the thirteen series were decided in six games or less.
 The upset in 1914 when the Braves won four in succession from the M lack men, Is the shortest series yet played The Cubs did not lose game in the 1907 battle with the Tigers, but one game was tie. so the series eXtend- ed to five games. Of the twelve se ries played under the present seven game arrangement seven times the verdict was reached in five games in 1905. 1907, 1908, 1910. 1913, 1915 and 1916. The series of 1906 and 1911 lasted to six games. In 1914 four games were enough, in 1909 seven games were needed and in 1903 and 1912 eight games were played.

LARGE PER CENT oE
 TIGER MEN IN SERVICE List includes Stars in All Major
 Sports,

More than 90 per cent. of the men who last year were prominent in Princeton athletics are now in some branch of active service. This num- Der includes fifteen men of the 1916 football team and eight varsity cap tains. Most of these men have either received commissions, or are in line for them. Principal credit for the successes of the Tiger athletes in securing commissions is due to the efficient training received here last year under Colonel Stuart Heinzel- man who conducted three courses in intensive training.
 F. Trevor Hogg. captain of the 1916 football team. is now an ensign in tho U. s. Navy; Billy Moore ,halfback Intercollegiate 220-yd champion. and for two years captain Of the varsity track team.

kauff a Disappointment.

One of the biggest disappointments of the worlds series to date has been the failure of Benny Kauff, star cen ter fielder of the Giants to hit the Chicago pitchers effectively: Previ ous to the series Kauff, who hit 300 in the National League. was being heralded to the skies as the Giants one best bet. Kauff has made eight trips to the plate and has yet to come across with a hit. Local admirers of Kauff, however, still have confidence in his ability and expect him to be the ace in the hole which will carry New York to ultimate victory.

and fourth games. Heavy and contin- uous rain caused the commission to repeatedly call off the scheduled game until many fans, tired of delay, sold tfeir tickets to speculat tors for frac- tion of their face value and returned to their home towns. Since that date the series has been played each year without postponement or break, except where a Sunday intervened, until to- day.
 The consensus of opinion tonight was that Cicotte would pitch for Chi cago tomorrow and that he would be opposed by Sallee for New York.

Plans for 1918.

One of the first announcements of President Charles Weeghman of the Cubs, now that he has been assured of control of the club for another year, is that the Cubs will return to Pasadena for training next spring. The plan is for Mitchell and his bat tery men to go to camp about March 1, with the rest of the squad report
 ing later. There will be no more special train stuff with a horde of stockholders along to make a holiday of the training trip. Weeghman means business next year.

They should extend four feet above ground Then get six laths (of thin material as tc be limber), each one long enough to reach the three posts. Then nail three laths on posts, putting them about foot and four inches apart.

An Odd Play.

The most unusual aSsistH-The Dodgers were playing the Braves and the Dodgers were at bat. Cut shaw knocked the ball to short left. Maranville, the Braves shortstop ran out for the ball and the left fielder ran in. As the ball descended, Ma ranville reached out for it but the ball just tipped the edge of his mitt. However, Maranville's action defiect- ed the ball i1to the waiting hands of the left fielder. And the batter was cut, shortstop to left fielder.

THE ZIONIST CONVENTION.

The Baltimore Zionist Conven-
tion is now a matter Of history.
According to all the reports that
we have heard and read the con-
vention manifested the usual Zion
.istic enthusiasm, and did it's work
with the usual Zionistic ardor. The
delegates had the qualification of
hearing most pleasing and encour-
aging reports of the progress Of
the movement both within and
without, that is as to the gain of
members, adherents and sympa-
thizers, the strengthening of the
organization, the increase of it's re-
sources, and as to the favorable at
.tention and consideration given to
it by the governments and the dip
1omats of certain powers. True, no
government has as yet given us
any definite promise of enabling us
to reach or helping us in reaching
our goal. But assurances of SYM
pathy have been obtained by us of
late from various sources. All that
is very gratifying to us.
But an alarming feature of this
years convention was the growing

A terrible disaster occurred last
Sunday afternoon at Niagara Falls.
A trolley car full of passengers
while making it's trip through the
scenic Niagara Gorge turned
somersault from it's tracks that run
close by the edge of the embank-
ment and plunged into the lower
rapids of the Niagara river. From
sixty to eighty people went to their
untimely death. The accident was
caused by the sliding of the gravel
and sand from under the tracks.

were making the same trip in

1t is on this route that the famous
Niagara Falls and Rapids, and all
the scenic beauties of the GORGE
can be seen to great ADVANTAGE. II
is needless to say that when the
rabbis heard of the disaster thew
were in devout mood of "bentshen

THE RABBINICAL CONFER
ENCE.

The annual convention of The
Central Conference of American
Rabbits that met this week in Buffa-
10, N. Y, has in many respects been
a noteworthy one First of all,
it's attendance has probably been
the largest in the history Of the
Conference, over hundred being
present. Secondly, some very i'm
portant matters were acted upon,

such as the acceptance of the final
revision of the Union Prayer Book,
and of the revised constitution of
the Conference, and the adoption of
a resolution for the establishment
by the Conference of post-grad-
uate summer course for rabbis
leading to the degree of D. D. But
above all else, the heated debate
on the relation of Reform Judaism
to Zionism, precipitated by the
sharp criticism of Jewish national
ism in President Rosenau's mes
sage showed how large the num-
Der of the members of the Confer
ence is who are in sympathy with
Zionism in some of it's phases.
That many of them call themselves
cultural Zionists does not matter.
Logical thinking necessarily leads
cultural Zionist to political and
practical Zionism. Cultural Zion
ism is only an easy way of transi-
tion from anti-Zionism to Zionism.
Noteworthy among other things
was the fine hospitality with which
the Conference was entertained by
the Jewish Reform Congregation of
Buffalo. It seems that the men,
bers of the congregation consider
ed it a privilege and a pleasure to
make the rabbits sojourn in their
city as comfortable and enjoyable
as possible. They showered their
kindnesses upon their visitors with
lavish hand. It was a true mani

dissatisfaction with the admins
tration, with the men who are in
actual charge of the management
of the affairs of the Federation,
which manifested itself in a very
stormy manner, when the question
came up of adopting the chair
mans report. The impression
seems to prevail that two or three
men are conducting the affairs of
the Federation in very arbitrary
manner, regardless of economy in
expense, regardless of the wishes,
advice and suggestions Of other
earnest and loyal Zionists. The
complaint is heard that there is too
much of the character of a political
machine in the working of the in
ner circle Of those at the head of
affairs. This charge has come to
us from men who are in no wise
habitual fault-fnders, kickers, or
insurgents on general principles,
but men who are modest, calm and
earnest-minded.
We do not know how that can be
remedied. The overthrow of the
present men in power, and the plac-
ing of others in their positions,
would probably mean only a change
of masters. We believe that it is
part of human nature that those
placed in authority, and given pow
er and control, soon forget that
they are the servants and not the
bosses Of those who have vested
them with authority. They soon
become arbitrary, despotic, dis
dainful and reckless of the wishes
Of others. Self-interest sometimes
gains the upper hand, and that, too,
quite unconsciously.
While, therefore, there would
hardly be any gain in a change of
actual leadership, it is we'll for
those who know of the administra-
TONS shortcomings, nay it is oblig-
atory upon them, to raise their
voices in loud and frequent protest,
so that the powers that be may
take warning. While Zionism is
ever winning in numerical strength
and influence, the progress Of the
movement may be considerably i'm
-peded by growing dissatisfaction,
dissension and friction within it's
ranks, especially when such dissat-
isfaction is we'll grounded.
