 "I do not think there is a, chance that I will rejoin the Giants before the series, and only hope that by that time I'll be well enough to go back and give the club my best. We'll need everry ones best, because I be- lieve that a Giant-White Sox series will be the hardest, toughest series ever played. Each team is a colIec- ton. of stars.
 There should be everything in that series, great pitching, great base rrun- ming, great batting. And think of the enthusiasm of the fans in a New York Chicago battle for the highest honors in baseball.
 1T certainly do not want to stay out of series such as that. But it is not pleasant to faint on the bench as did in Brooklyn, or to feel so ex- hausted after game that you wonder whether you can. walk as far as the

 clothes hang loosely on him and his face is thin and drawn. He still talks baseball and thinks baseball, but he
 does it rather in an impersonaI way just now, which is in great contrast to his old fiery, aggressive method o1 arguing on the subject nearest to his heart.
 Herzie usually talked of the game like young soldier going into bat. tie. Now he discusses it like a vet eran, speaking of campaign Ions past. This isn't natural and merely means that the old energy for the mo. ment is gone.
 But it will return. Herzog is not seriously i'll. He merely has gone be- yond his strength and needs rest an6 time to recuperate. He now is doubt full about playing in the Worlds Series, but we would care for no surel bet than that if he can put one foo | before the other he will be- there l When the time comes handcuffs and . team of oxen and all the doctors 1T Maryland will be needed to keep hin out.

Although Yale undergraduates and some of the alumni are making a fight to have varsity football at New Haven this year, little hope is. held out by Prof. Corwin, head of the Atfl- letic council. He says no attempt will be made to patch up a varsity schedule.

 Women have for many years been employed in clerical work in railroad offices but their sphere has now wid- ened from that of stenography, type writing and filing letters to include many of the lighter forms of actual railroad work. both inside and out.
 Labor must be conserved and to this end the railroads. through read tustments and re-assignments, are placing, so far as they can. each la bor uint where its energies will be di- rected to greatest advantage.
 On the New Haven road were some of the first, if. indeed, not the first, female crossing tenders. Mrs. liar riet L.. Hartley and Mrs. Alice S. Hardy took up their work as crossing tenders in June at Mansfield Massa- chuSetts. Others have since been employed at other points.
 Women have taken the places of station agents, telegraph operators, ticket agents. etc, and in this way men have been relieved for other du- ties. In the New Haven's shops wo- men recently have been employed in the stores department where they are sorting, storing and assembling ma terials and supplies.

War was declared by the United States on April g.. 1917. During the past seven months women all over the country have taken some sof the places of the men who have gone into the various branches of the co,intfy's ser Vice.
 The labor supply. especially on the railroads, is a matter to which man agers have been giving serious con- sideration for over a year. The situa- ton is growing quite acute with the result that women have been employ ed in various derarttnents of railroad work where heretofore men were ex- clusively employed.
 :. Eight hundred and ntnety-three men have left the employ Of the NeHf Haven to voluntarily enter the sertic6 of the country. This. number does n0t include the; men enrolled in the Na- tional Army.
