All On the Same Side, In
the Same Uniform, Playing
For the Same Thing!
There was Bill Donovan.


As "Wild Bill" we knew him, boosted
for him. cheered him when he was MAX
ing enemy batters look foolish, for OH
side, out al Navin field.
Bill wore Tiger uniform then.
How he did pitch that game In Chi
caqo that we needed 10 win the pennant.
We had 10 beat the White Sox and a
grander game of ball was never pitched
than Bill delivered-ard we won.
Bill could have had the city hall for
the asking the next day when they met
our champion Tigers at the station with
a band. which PLAYED mostly for Bill.
Bill had a habit Of getting In bad with
the umpire upon occasions, upon which
occasions We were, Of course, strong for
Bill.
Anything at all that Bill did was All
right.
Well, Bill left Detroit and went down
to New York to manage the Yankees
and as the manager of the Yankees
came back here. and in one Of the games
ne got into row with the umpire and
we heard somebody yell
"Send that big cheese TO the bench
OLaughlin."
Notice, please, that wild Bill, Be
loved Bill. ''The Smiler.' formerly idol
lied and sole owner of every baseball
heart in town, becomes suddenly big
cheese and that the umpire, for chas-
ing Bill to the bench, is now neither
"Robber" nor Blind stiff.
That is because Bill" is now on New
York's side-and New York fans no
longer refer to him as big cheese
with a glass arm and nothing but
his glove"
They are doing the idolizing now that
Detroit did and there are only the warm
est kind of hearts in Gotham for the
pitcher they would have been glad to see
stricken with paralysis many times when
his curve was fooling the Yankees.
Hello, here's a n essage in the papers
from London-something about the ar
rival there Of American troops.
Let's see what it says.
Millions OF Londoners. many OF them waving
American flags cheered themselves hoarse until
the Americans departed The streets from
Horse Guards up Whitehall 20 Trafalgar square
Picadilly Grosvenor Gardens, buckingham Pal
ace, Mall and Westminster bridge were banked
solidly with men. women and children hours
before the march began
when the troops swung into Whitehall a roar
of cheers started II continued all along the
route. All traffic stopped Windows and
roofs were crowded Persons in the throngs OF
spectators continually shouted out greetings such
as Were glad 20 see YOU, America and eco
get them. boys
What's that?
"we're glad to see you, American
"Go to them, boys?'
Cheers in the streets of London for
the "Sammies England?
Why, sure enough!
And why not?
We are on the same side, now, sure's
you're born.
BROTHERS again and all the time
mindful that right down in our hearts
we had nothing against each other.
1t was just the bitterness Of the
GAME-that made us forget.
And that. gentle reader, is the object
of the war
That is what We are all going to be,
when it is all overall on the same side !;
all in the same Uniform: on the team
that is playing for DEMOCRACY and
PEACE.

A farmer thus cured a horse of balk-
ing:' He went to a stall OF wood for a
small load. but his horse would not
pull pound. He did not beat him, as
most men would. but simply tied him
to tree and left him there. At sun
set he went TO the stack again, but the
horse still refused to draw So he put
blanket on him and left him there
for the night. In the morning he still
refused TO draw. but at noon, being
hungry, he started at once and drew
the load 10 the house. The farmer re-
turned and got another load before
feeding him and then gave him u good
dinner.

New York, Nov. 2.-The most obvi- oIs and direct result Of the new con ditions created by the stock exchange authorities in placing short selling | under the ban was the extensive cov- ering of short contracts at the outset of today's irregular operations
 Bankers, brokers and the financial community as a whole endorsed the
 exchanges attitude, but discoura sed any notion of more drastic mea sures
 The more conservative interests held that the new regulations ought to prove effective.
 Traders declared the market would have shown greater stability but for with the complex foreign situation and the restrictions placed upon trading Sy out of town exchanges.
