men WILL WIN WAR
Allies Need Them More Than Machin-
cry, General Wood Asserts.

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 19.-Men,
not inventions or machinery, will win
the European war, in the opinion of
Myj. Gen. Leonard Wood, commander
of the national army cantonment at
Camp Funston, Kansas, who believes
that the men who win it must be
trained to the highest degree of mill
tary perfection.
This war will not be easily won,'
General Wood declared in an address
to the students of the Kansas State
Agricultural college here. MANY
thousands of our boys must go across
the seas and thousands of them are
not coming back. They are going
against a nation whose soldiers are
willing to die in heaps-whose soldiers
are the fbest trained men in the
world"
General Wood said the situation of
the allies is bad and that the break
down of Russia will prolong the strug-
gle. He concluded with a plea for
national preparedness and universal
service.

.BAWL OUT BAN JOHNSON
FOR COPS AT THE GATE

BOSTON, Aug. 31.-The Hub may be
the center OF the baseball gambling
element, but the Braves leaders are
wondering why Ban Johnson hap
pened to discover this just as the Red
Sox were leaving home and the
Braves returning. Declining to allow
direct quotations, the local National
League heads do not hesitate to bawl
out the American League chief.
The Red SoX are winning, the
Braves losing, and the placing OF de-
tectives at the Braves Field gates
has cut terribly into the small profits
OF the club. To make matters worse.
the fans disconnected by the inspec-
tion OF plain clothes detectives are
taking out their venom upon the
players. who are not to blame.
Boston fans are in mood for
trouble. IL Pinkerton spies interfere
with their enjoyment OF the Red Sox
games from now to the end OF the
season, but the Braves leaders will
smile. for they have been suffering
for several weeks.

VETERAN C|COTTE
GRABS BSONE-FOURTH
. OF WHITE SOX Wins

Eddie Cicotte, at the age OF thirty
three, stands out today as the wonder
pitcher OF the American League.
The little fog ball'' wizard of the
pace-making White Sox won his
twenty-nrst game for Chicago against
the Browns yesterday, and as the
sox have shelved a total OF eighty
two victories, Cicotte has won more
than one-fourth OF their games.
The fact that Cicotte's work on the
mound will be largely responsible for
landing the pennant for Chicago, II
the Rowlandmen win, is not a joyful
thought to Boston fans, for cieotte
is a Red Sox cast-on. having been re-
leased to the Windy City team in
July, 1912, via the waiver route
This is Cicotte's tenth straight year
in the big leagues. He first came up
in 1905, to Detroit. and was given q
trial by the Tigers again In 1906. but
sent back for more seasoning. He
came UP to stay In the spring OF 1905.
and in all but three seasons he has
turned in a pitching percentage bet
ter than 500.
The lead of fve games held by the
white Sox today puts them in a com
manding position as the probable
pennant winners. And the statistical
fends have it figured that nothing
short of an unlooked-for accident to
the team as q whole can stop them
now.
