While the battles OF this early ma

they began with their deliverauce
from Egypt where for four hundred
years this nation of two million peo-
pie had been held slaves-these hat
ties usually had a religious sanction
In other words, the wars for de-
mocracy and social Justice were based
upon religion, and with confidence In
the God who had called the nation to
this task. It vas this assurance that
made them believe in their and

The Paradox OF Baseball
Fred Merkle, Former Giant,
Now on Team he Once
Hoped to Beat.

Baseball, like any other sport, must
have its little joke.
This time the victim is Fred Merkle,
first baseman OF second base fame.
The fates have decreed to put Fred
In q somewhat paradoxical situation
and laugh at him.
Veteran fans will remember when
Merkle made the bone that made him
famous, in 1908, he vowed to wreak
vengeance on the club that caused his
teams downfall. So far as Johnny
to do with Merkle's sudden leap to
renown, Fred's vow has been fulfilled.
For Fred now is trying to fill the
gap Evers left when he quit the Cubs;
But what makes Merkle's position Sc
we're is his enforced rest with the un-
successful Cubs during a series in
which he had hoped to have q hand.
Merkle was sore at Chicago fans
nj everything that smacked Of the
Smoky City, after the Cubs took the
pennant from the Giants by a play
on. Now, as fate would have It, he's
there, playing with the Cubs,land des-
tined to watch one of the most severe
world series battles in history.
Fred, even now, can't have a hand
in licking Chicago-whether It's the
White Sox Or the fans, he doesn't care,
although he'd much prefer showing
upTthe latter. :
He would be able to put up a good
fight today, If he were still with the
Giants. for his batting and fielding has
not been lowered to a marked degree.
He has shown better judgment ana
greater skill in batting this year than
last, although in former years he has
exceeded his present standing.
In 1915, when with the Giants,
fMerkle finished sixth in batting and
his fielding averaged $3.50, In 1908,
the year Of his fame. he .batted .26S
for theS18 games he played. He had
come to the Giants only the year be-
fore from Tecumseh, Mich.
