the circling athletes aside, but the

Graney, Called Out, Starts Trouble
and Contest Is Handed to
League Leaders.

CHICAGO. September 1n-Eighteen
thousand fans at Comiskey Park yes
terday saw a 3-to-3 tie in the tenth
inning turned into a 9-to-o victory for
the White Sox. when Umpire Owens
forfeited the contest.
Strong armed tactics of the Redskins
in the first half of the tenth started
a rumpus which eventually lowered the
curtain on an otherwise brilliant and
scrappy game. With the score tie
at 5 to 3. two out and the bases loaded.
Graney. at third, made a blum OF steal
ing home as Wambsganss was pinch
hitting for Evans. He carried it too
far. a throw from Schalk to McMul-
lin nailed him.
Seeing he couldn't get back to the
bag. Graney slid into a clinch with
McMullin. causing the latter to drop
the ball, which rolled back of the bag.
Graney sprinted for home. followed by
the equally speedy Chapman. Before
either had reached the plate Umpire
Owens waved Graney out. retiring the

No Amateurs Entered.

None of the premier amateurs has en-
tered for the contest thus far, and it is
thought that Charles Evans, national
amateur and open champion Robert
Gardner. formerly national amateur cham
pion: Francis Quimet, western amateur
cha mpion, and Jerome Travers, formerly
national champion, will not be able to
compete. Gardner has gone to war, and
the others are devoting themselves to Red
Cross exhibitions.
hundred professionals are listed to
take part. however. and the contest is ex-
pected to furnish the best golf of the year,
as there were no national tourna ments and
the western amateur did not develop as
good golf. although the field was excep-
tionally large, as is usual in such golf
meets.
The western open title has not been
held by a Chicagoan since 1910, when
Charles Evans. jr., won it. Since j. j.
McDermott won the title in 1913, it has

The Entente Reply Is
Ali Right But It's Tone
Is Most Unfortunate


present. at least
The prospects are fine for some more
and some much fercer fighting and some
more weeping.
Germany's peace proposal has been
turned down by the Entente power in
manner that amounts TO zen--a-
They tell Germany that they regard il
as a military maneuver and a trick.
This European war. it should at an
times be remembered. is a family affair
That is, until it comes to fighting and
bleeding.
None of the immediate members Of The
family are disposed to get into THAT.
These I'VE viii keep on fighting dec
larations do not mean that the Gar Of
Russia, or the King Of England or the
Kaiser intend to take the field
None Of the fellows in the trenches are
consulted, however, before these declsra-
tions are made.
Being family matter, We doubt
whether suggestions from this2side are
invited or whether they are welcome if
volunteered
In their reply to the Central.-Powers
we would say. however. that the In
tente nations are both right and wrong.
Germany has not named terms to1
prompt an immediate entrance into peace
negotiations by her enemies.
The violation of Belgium was das-
tardly thing that Germany must expect
to answer for. both by an indemnity and
the positive assurance that these people (
will not be exposed in the future to treat
ment such as they have suffered.
In their position that this assurance 4
must be extended to all other countries, +
the Entente powers are everlastingly
right
They are wrong only in the tone Of I
their reply.
That tone is not happy to the ears Of (
the pacifist who had hoped that the En-
tente powers would sense a duty to the
world and see the opening for the peace (
of the world, and pronounce to the Cen
trail Powers a basis upon which peace /
might be proceeded to.
The reply generalizes.
1t was hoped that il would be specific.
1t was hoped that the absence Of terms
in the German proposal would be met
with terms
The tone Of soon in the Entente reply /
we regard as wrong, in view Of the fact \
that war means LIVES, and LEGS and (
ARMS and BLOOD and TEARS. and in +
view of the fact that the Entente pow
ers have basis upon which to proceed to 4
peace that need not call for the sacri- 4
flee of honor.
What more honor could England ask I
for, for instance than the leadership for .
universal peace thru disarmament, which .
Germany has indicated a disposition 70
discuss.
The trouble with the reply is. it does I
not take, count Of the poor devils in the 4
trenches--either in the Entente trenches
or the trenches Of the Central powers.

A bitter indictment OF the war lords
who have brought such misery on the
German people and despite all protests,
sleave soldiers families TO starve, is
voiced in the Arbeiter Zeitung Of Is

tie great krupp factory:
Things are getting worse and worse
for more and more men are being
drafted into the army and more and
more women are compelled to stand
for elk to eight hours outside the food
shops. to wait their turn for half a
pound OF potatoes. We are told to hold
out Is the sole thing that matters.
Wen, we shall go on holding out, no
doubt, until none but war protlteers
survive, and we women are all In our
graves"
Thus runs a letter from a soldiers
wife to her husband. How many other
women will be writing similar letters
TO their husbands al the front? How
must the recipients Of such letters fee
