coaching prowess to Annapolis. With Dobie
gone, the Washington University may be
induced to favor the New Years contest.

TNHE amazing prevalence of left-handers
i the last few years has brought on big
change from the old world series days.
Back in 1905 Mathewson, Bender and Nc
Gnnity, all right-handers, were the only
winners. In 1906 Nick Altrock was the
only big factor against Walsh, Brown,
Reulbach and overall, all rght-handed
pitchers.
For the next three or four years the main
factors were Brown. overall, Reulbach,
Donovan, Mullin and Adams, all right
handlers. Then came Bender, Coombs,
Mathewson, Tesreau, Bedient and Wood,
with Plank and NIarquard about the only
southpaws of note, this list followed by
Rudolph and James.
The right-handed majority in tre old
days was about three or four TO one. Now
it is almost the other way. Last year 1t
was Ruth and Leonard against Sherrod
Smith and Marquard. For 1917 the left
handed smear is even more pronounced.
Three of McCiraw's main winners are left
handlers. Two of Rowland's stars are left
handlers. With five left-handers tossed into
one series, the complexities of the case are
beyond all unraveling.
What with left-handers nredomin1ting at
bat this is getting to be a left-handed age.
No wonder the dazed universe is badly up
set and bewildered.
Facing the White Sox will bo an old
story to the Great Zim, relic o'f HIS Cub
days. But there will be one vast difference
difference which Zim contemplates with
unusual cheer viz, there will be no Ed
Walsh pitching five or six of the games for
tho other side.
The Star
There may be n better left-hander In
baseball than Claude Cooper, of the Pirates,
but you won't be able to prove it by the
lop-sided statistics.
Cooper, Working with tail-end club, has
done as well in winning way as others
working for leading teams. His record has
been one of the great achievements Of the
year, a record that not even Alexander or
Toney has surpassed.
Cooper's percentage above hisxclubs per-
centage Is higher than anything baseball
has known for many years. Most OF Coop
cr's defeats have been by one rum where
hc held his opponents to few hits He has
pitched fewer bad games than any other
pitcher in the major league. This is fairly
close to tho answer.
Not Good Bet
"All attendance and gate receipts records
should be broken this year." suggests an
exchange, with New York and Chicago
drawing the world series crowds"

extra hole for decision. Sawyer stood DOR
me on the eighteenth tee He had the
better of tie tee-off, and it put AnGSrson
in a positi' of having to produce an ex'
ceptional shot to win the match.
Anderson pulled off a great brasse shot,
the ball coming to rest on the edge of the
green. Sawyer had good open shot to the
green, but on the right-hand side there was
wide sand hazard The situation was
one which called for the exercise of careful
judgment and 1t seems in the light Of
events that Sawyer played wrongly. Good
golf called for Sawyer to play safe to the
left, rather than take the chance Of going
into the sand hazard.
Into the Sand
However, he took this chance and, his
cleek shot being bit sliced. car
ried him squarely Into the sand 1t took
him two TO get out, and he was obliged
TO concede the hole. Considering this play
in the light of previous articles Of mine 1t
well illustrates the Importance of using
extreme care. particularly when the situa-
ton does not force you to take a chance.
tIad Sawyer played this hole safe he should
have won it, and with it the match.
The play off which followed brought out
some interesting and instructive golf. Saw
yer got away with the better drive on the
extra hole and began to look like win
ner when Anderson played short on his
approach shot This time Sawyer played
carefully to the left to avoid trap at the
right of the green. He landed about twenty
feet from the flag. while Anderson. play
ing the odd, was about six feet short OF
the hole Sawyer followed and laid his bal
dead about foot and a half from thf
flag.
This put Anderson In the nerve-rackins
position Of having to sink six foot putt

DARTMOUTH MAY REPRESENT EAST

Big Intersectional Foot

Be a Feature at
Pasadena, Cal.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 49,
WAR conditions will not prevent holding
w of the big intersectional football game
between the East and the West at Pasadena
Cal. next New Years Day. This is the as
sertion of w. S. Kienholz, chairman of the
sports committee of the Tournament of
Roses under the auspices of which the an
nual classic is staged. kienholz refereed
the PENNSYLVANIA oregon game at Pasadena
last January.
In all probability Dartmouth College VIII
be selected as the eastern contender accord
ing to Kienholz, and either the University
of Oregon or Washington state College will
represent the West.
Tours the East
81 have just toured the East, and in my
travels | made every effort to learn from
sporting writer's and coaches what eleven
would he the strongest contender next fall"
said KienholZ. Everybody seemed to give
the edge to Dartmouth.
dartmouth had Il very strong eleven in
1916 and most of her letter men are back.
For this reason | am sure the Pasadena
committee will select Dartmouth If she
holds up to expectations in her early games" "
kienholz's statement makes 1t virtually
certain that Dartmouth will be invited to
enter the New Years game, as he himself
is given much authority in making the
choice. He is regarded in the West as an
authority on football and was the famous
quarterback on the Minnesota squad of 1904.

God. which we may use as freely as we
like"
Bishop Feofane finally was obliged to
recognize the evil which Rasputin was
constantly doing, and he bitterly re-
pented having been taken in by him and
by his hypocrisy. He reprOached Shin
self especially for having given him
a letter of recommendation to the ia
nous Father John of Cronstaat. through
whom Rasputin was to become acquaint-
ed with some of the people who were
later on to pilot him in the society of
St Petersburg. The bishop was not a
clever man by any means. but he had
been sincere in his admiration for Ras-
putin, a fact which added to the. con-
sternation that overpowered him when
the truth about the famous sectarian
became known to him. He assembled
a kind of judicial court, composed of
one bishop. one monk and three we'll
known and highly respected civil func-
tionaries, and called upon the prophet
to come and explain himself before
this court as to the actions which were
imputed to him. Among these figured
his general conduct in regard to the
women who had enrolled themselves in
the ranks of his disciples. But some
how the adventurer succeeded in dis
polling the suspicious that had become
attached to his name and conduct, and
he explained in a more or less plausible
manner the things which had been told
about him. His leanings for feminine
society, and his invariable custom of
bathing himself together with women
he declared to be quite innocent things,
and only a proof of his desire to show
| that it was quite possible for human
beings to rise above every kind of car
nal temptation.
