On their last trip the Reds
played 700 baseball, while
the Giants were playing .667
baseball ut the Polo grounds.
II the Reds can play better base
ball at home than on the road
and the Giants hit a slump on the
road the eight game lead my be
lessened considerably. That of
course is a question only the
games can decide
Then in the matter of double
headers. Can the Giant pitchers
stand a strain of long string OF
double bills?
The New York pitching staff is
the VIGOROUSLY weak spot on the
club. Schupp is scarcely more
than a One-day-a-week pitcher.
Whether he can keep up his high
winning percentage If called upon
to work often is a question.
Anderson, perhaps, can work
oftener than any other pitcher on
the Giants staff. with the posi-
BILE exception of jeff Tesreau.
Perritt, Sallee and Benton can
scarcely be called iron men.
The strain of these double-head-
ers may work against McGraw
getting all he should from his
pitchers.
New York has the hardest
schedule of the two for the next
few weeks. McGraw must meet
the Reds, the Cardinals and the
Cubs, all dangerous clubs in ad-
dition to the Pirates. The Reds
have to meet the Giants and Phil
lies of the stronger clubs and Bos-
ton and Brooklyn.
Everything considered the
Giants have decidedly the worst
breaks coming, but an eight game
lead is an eight game lead and II
will take super-baseball to over
come it.

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.
by Ralph Henry Harbour of the
NlU Utlnsstas


I have tried hard to write an In
PRODUCTION 10 what follows. but I can't
find the right words. And after all In
any Introduction needed? think not.
So I have Just written that title up
therefor | want to believe-f do be-
lieye--that the spirit emanating from
this letter OF an American boy who
volunteered for the ambulance service
In France and was at the battle OF
Nerdun on his twenty.first birthday Is
In reality the American spirit-and
Will leave comment to you who read
this.
Dear Mother and Father: Your let
ters came To me yesterday. and now I
wish | had said nothing about aviation
until nearer the end OF my ambulance
service. ! am sorry you take aviation
so hard for the mortality is only eight
per cent more than that of the in
fantry. The whole argument amounts
| TO this: | am first OF all of military
age and must take up some service.
now that we are at war, am physically
III for aviation. while there are millions
over here and under age available for
ambulanciers and camions. do you
wish me TO be called an ambuscade when
come home? And that Is what they
call us here. now that America Is at
"a
Gus. but death comes from "a little bullet
and is quick and clean. One is not
blown into infinity by marmite or other
high explosives. which leave unbelieva-
BILE holes In ones body. One fights man
To man In the air.
II must do some military duty. and
my six months experience and my
knowledge OF French are of value TO
those whom / am trying TO help. After
ALL II ! am not to survive this war,
what difference does IL make how / go
about IL? No one wants to come home
more than do. No one is more fed up
on this war than | am. but my wishes
and your wishes are almost nothing.
Our sorrow is like sunshine when you
think of the sorrow caused by the death
Of the 100000 men who have died since
August. 1914. One learns to feel that
death is easy after watching these
Frenchmen die. And are you, my
mother and my father, going to refuse
to sacrifice one son, when millions of
others have done far more?
Perhaps | am wrong to urge you to
let me go on. but have all the papers
made out and take the medical examina-
tion soon, In America we are taught
that ones country comes first, and am
now to throw over the legacy Of the
Revolution? In France an aviator Is
considered worth thousand men. Can
you imagine my being worth thousand
men? However. this is no time for jok-
ing. Only think of the millions who
have lost more than | can ever be, of
mothers who have lost several sons. as
well as their husbands, and their daugh-
ters ruined by German officers; of hus-
bands fighting. never knowing the fate

He came to us to say farewell
Young and strong and lovable,
Vivid-eyed and laughter-warm,
Glad-hearted in his uniform.
We had not been so close to war
Ever before.
He kissed us then and went away.
And we could stop from seeming gay
That bOy-laugh lost against a hell
OF Numbered shot and shrieking she'll
He shall not come to us from war
Glad as before.
One thought is all our hiding place
He and his peers, who laugh TO face
Horror and wounding, pain and death.
Hunger and thirst and hard-drawn
breath,
They are Gods knights. and ride to take
These for Gods sake.
They are Gods knights. who gladly ride
Against Thor's scarlet horror-tide.
Their souls and bodies flung to hold
Our world from demon-gods of old

He, too. is oneD
They go to keep the world for rigth;
And when il stands again in light,
Then they. who made it so, shall stand

Glad-hearted. one great company.

SANTA CLAUS is A FAITH.
Take Kris kringle Away From Children
and You Rob Christmas Of Its Joy.

Some very honest people are such
sticklers for truth that they are con-
cerned about our firm belief in Santa
Claus. Well, it is a good thing TO
stand up for truth. if We really know
the truth. But we know that great
many very learned people have been
wrangling about what truth is for sew
eral thousand years. and yet 1t does
not seem to be definitely settled. But
for the most of us truth is what we
truly believe. Ii is the faith that is in
US, and Santa Claus is a faith, il not
a fact, and SO we say again that We do
believe in Santa Claus.
Take Santa Claus away from the
children and you rob Christmas Of half
its joy. Grownup though we may be.
we would rather hang up our stocking
"the night before Christmas" and find
IL bulging full of gifts in the dim light
Christmas morning, than to have car
load come duly tied up and labeled.
and delivered by the mailman. Who
wouldn't? There is a lure in the mys-
terry of Santa Claus that has endeared
him to every childish heart. and so do
not take him away until you have
something TO offer.
