America First
in Film Field

The vogue of the moving picture in
It's spread to the far quarters OF the
globe has become more than n simple
meaps of amusement. 1t has brought
into closer contact races of differing
lan,,,age, those OF climes which have
no elem. hts in common. and peoples Of
widely divergent social customs, l:s
n,r.ins o! the films the countries which
have been active in their production
are already familiar places and the
steady gains that have been made by
the United States toward leadership In
this industry have literally made II
possible for the whole world to ''see
America" on the screen.
In the early days of the movics--and
that was less than u generation ago
American audiencese grew enthusiastic
over the French pictures that were
sent across the Atlantic to reveal the
wonders of this new art OF the camera.

thusiasm over American films.

BETTING FAvoRs GIANTS.

Betting in Chicago is to on the Giants to win the worlds series which indicates that the western fans have not much confidence in the White Sox. If these odds continue until the start of the games 1t will be the first time the Giants ever entered the ser ies as favorites. In the 1911, 1912 and 1913 series the Giants were on the short end of the betting. Yet there have been some startling form re- versals. In 1906, the Cubs were to 1 favorites to beat the White Sox but the latter took four out of six In 1914 the odds were the same on the Athletics but the Braves took four straight.
 Fred Anderson, the Giant pitcher, has appealed to President Wilson for exemption from the draft. His ap- peal has already been rejected by the from Statesville, N. C., and has a wife and child. The Statevil1e board must have heard about that worlds 8 series coin and figured Anderson's family wouldn't starve while he is in the trenches.

BELGIAN BOWLER ASTONlSHES FANS
 BY UNIQUE STYLE

New Haven, Sept. 2s.-Sport fans know what Ty Cobb does to opposing pitchers. They are also familiar with Benny Leonard's ability to produce when in competition with an aspiring champion. But only those fans who managed to elbow their way into the Academy alleys last night are in . position to relate just what can be done with a bowling ball. Landlord Al Johnson introduced Jimmy Smith, worlds bowling champion, and John Gengler, Count of Luxem burg, as his star attraction in the opening feature of the season. Gengler is a new con- CT to these parts and was the center of interest. His unheard of feats took the crowd by storm and his name, as a result, will live long in the minds of those who chanced to see him in &C., ton.

 "If you can bluff fellow into be- lieving you are more than he is you have him licked before you start. That is really the success of the so- called shine ball.
 "So long as Speaker, Chapman, Baker, Pipp and other heavy batters of the league thought I was feeding them something 'phony' I had some- thing on them. I have been accused of everything but murder this year My uniform has been stolen from the club house on several occasions.

A number of well known players with the Boston Red Sox are rapidly approaching the end of their careers as ball artists. It is because of these players, who are perceptibly slowing up, that the Boston club, once so for midable, is trailing behind this season.

circuit on formation in 1876 and fn- ished sixth that season. At the close of the schedule play the combination dropped out and did not return un- til 1893, from which date its connec- ton with the National League has been continuous. The Chicago White Sox played a prominent part in the forming of the American League in 1900 and has also held continuous membership in the junior league since that year.
 During this period of eighteen years the White Sox have won four pen- nants capturing flags in 1900, 1901, 1906 and 1917. The club has figured in but one World. Series. however, meeting and defeating the Chicago Nationals by four games to two in 1906. The New York Nationals have a more extensive record in this respect owing to longer connection with the senior league. Since 1s7e the club has won seven league championships and three World Series, and it's aver age position for s6 seasons is four and very small fraction. Chicago's showing in this department of the rec ords is even better, the White Sox hav- ing gained the high average of 3.4 over a stretch of IS years.
 Remnants rewarded the work of tn e New York players in 1883, 1889, 1904, 1905, 1911, 1912, 1913 and again this season. hi 1888 the Giants defeated the St. Louis American Association team in the World Series of those days, ten games to four, and the fol- lowing season won from Brooklyn of the same circuit six games to three. In 1905 they defeated the Philadelphia Americans four games to one. havink refused to meet the Boston Americans the previous year. The Philadelphia Athletics secured revenge when the teams met in 1911 winning four games to two. Boston Red Sox maintained the American League record by de- feating the Giants four games out of seven in 1912 and the next season Philadelphia repeated at the New York clubs expense, winning four games to one.

New York, Sept. 2s-In the long history of World Series play for the championship of the baseball universe it is doubtful If any previous contest of this character aroused the wide spread interest which has been en- gendered by the coming clash between the Chicago Americans and the New York Nationals. Although World Series play is not new to either of the cities represented by clubs dn the finale of the professional baseball 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 thet more remarkable when 1t 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 Provi- dence club of the National League faced the Metropolitan team of the American Association in the initial contest back in 1884 and emerged vic- tor in three straight games. It will also be the thirteenth played under the code and jurisdiction of the Ma tional Commission which in 1905 arr ranged for an annual meeting be- tween the pennant winning clubs of the two major leagues.
 Of the twelve series staged under these rules the American League teams have won seven and the Ma tiona1 League club five. Sixty-six games have been played, of which the Americans have won 33 and the Ma Ic xxyi+I txx,a jr, ia contests. But one run divided the records of the two leagues in this re- spect as during these 66 games the National league players have crossed the plate 223 times to their rivals 22z.
 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 baseball

Eddie Collins of the White Sox is certainly lucky youngster. He is about to take part in his fifth worlds series, which means, perhaps, $3,500 extra which he can put away in the savings bank. Collins gets a salary of $15, 5000. for which he signed in 1915, after he had been receiving half that amount from the Athletics. Collins put away more than $12,000 as his share of the Athletics share in the world 's-series in 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1914. He has been thrifty all along and when he retires from the game will be able to take it easy.
