mission approved FOR the sox.
Fred Anderson. Bennie Kauff and Bill
Rariden were three OF the big guns in
the old circuit. Jimmy Smith also did
some ball playing when Jim Gilmore
was In baseball. but didn't clash with
the other trio.
Since last spring this trio OF ox-Feds
has done as much as any other triangle

derson's work has been relief kind. but
mighty efficient. Harden has held the
brunt Of the catching and Kauffs hit
ting almost kicked the Giants into a
pennant without further help, for Il
has been his consistency and nerve
that won crucial contests.
Comparisons between Federal League
players and those IN the National and
American Leagues used 20 be common,

noble duty In the National, they are
booked TO show In American League

T. Last evening at twilight he
walked across the asphalt pavement
In front Of the Gazette office. a fine,
strong. handsome soldier boy, in his
khaki overcoat. ! puttees, riding
breeches and service hat. Someone's .
pride was that boy, and before grass
comes he will be In France. Before

Then someone whose heart is so
proud today will face black life DESC
lately. But In her heart she will be
proud. She will have given the great
sacrifice, made the great renuncia-
ton. Some father. or some brother
or some friend. will carry In his
hearts secret place q noble grief,
that will make him aspire to better
things than he could have dreamed
OF without the sorrow.
Fifty years ago millions OF hearts
In this land felt that high aspiration
that comes with grief. that follows
the great sacrifice for the dead who
died for high causes and great pur-
poses. They who were left tried to
re worthy OF those who were called.
Life was better for their striving.
Hearts were cleaner. society was
moved forward. The years. OF course.
brought their selfish cares. and the
world slowed down to the snairs
pace that It knows after great Wis
ions fade. But the great visions
were there, Men and women saw.
II even for few years. the beckon-
ing ideal toward which they stsug-
gled, and then stopped and went on
living humdrum lives.
so It will be with us. When the
soldier boy who walked across the
pavement here last night is but q
memory, the embodiment OF an ideal,
the substance OF an ideal. we. too.
who are left behind will strive to be
worthy OF him. but we. too. shall
fail. But in striving we shall go
forward somewhat toward the goal.
And for the sorrow which shall lift
us. for the Joy that shall come In
our sacrifice for them who fall In
the coming battle may God make us
truly thankful"
