Usually it's the batters that make
the biggest holler over spitballs,

would be interesting to know just
how many fielding errors through a
season have been directly the result
of spitters behind the bat as we'll as
in both oUtfield and infeld. A pitch
er with a freak delivery can't very
reasonably kick if his support is not
so fiawless as the sort the other
twirlers get. Catchers pick up many
broken fingers and split thumbs as
a result of the queer shoots and the
catchers Of the American associa-
ton, where freak balls were so many,
had many minor injuries among
them when last season came to a
close. 1t will be interesting, by the
bye. to note the effect on batting
and fielding in the A. "A. next season
when the funny stuff in the pitch

Commission of Public Docks, met with
the commission Thursday and recalled
that the Dock Commission had au-
thorized him last year to stand ready
to offer advice and assistance to any
river community wishing to improve

inform the commission that any CO.
operation possible on the part of the
Dock Commission could be depended
on.
The special committee is to meet at
10 o'clock Monday morning at Mr..
O'Reilly's office. The scope of the
proposed traffic survey is to be gaused
ii possible, al lansles being taken into
consideration as to facilities. such as

provided reasonably, also new one of
more permanent construction, roads

WESTWARD HOE!

Full three hundred years ago
Was heard the slogan, Westward
Ho!"
Which sent the English over seas
Columbias fertile land to seize
But when these English gentlemen,
Unused to work in field or fen.
Arrived amidst our pine trees tall.
Twas found they would not hoe at
all.
Till Smith proclaimed with courage
meet,
who does not work shall nothing
eat.
Then straightway all began to hoe
And in the burrows sceo 20 sow,
Which yielded food enough for all
From our rich soil from spring to fall,
With an abundant winter store,
So none. were hungry any more.
Westward, they calmly hoed their way
While empires fell into decay,
Producing every Kind of food
That could be grown for human good.
And what they could not use at homo
They shipped away across the foam
To countries far less blest than ours.
Though numbered with the mighty
Powers.
And now these Powers are calling out
To us to feed them while they rout
The enemy from their loved land.
SO We must take a steadfast hand.
Against the ruthless German horde
Whose actions have been SO deplOred:
Wen arm ourselves WITH gun or hoe
And help defeat our common foe.

1918 SERIES

FOURTEENTH
Lead Secured by Americans
Sufficient to Hold Nation
ais This Season.

New York, Sept. 2.-Regardless Of
the outcome of the coming world
series, the lead secured in recent
years by the American league teams
is sufficient to hold the National league
in check though the senior league
standard bearers were to capture the
baseball classic In the easiest possible
fashion. The clash of 1918 will be
the fourteenth under the auspices of
the national commission and of the
thirteen series which are now part of
diamond history, the American league
clubs have won eight, while five have
been the portion of the National.
The last victory by National
league team was the record perform
ance of the Boston players in 1914.
when the Braves swept the Philadel-
phia Athletics before them in four
eventual disruption of the famous
Shibe Park baseball machine. Previ-
Gus to that time the record for the
shortest SERIES was held by the Chi
caso Nationals of 1907. In that year
the team. led by Frank Chance, de-
feated the Detroit Americans, four
games to none, but the series required
five contests as the opening game re-
suited in a to tie.
But one other series developed a tie
game. This occurred in the meeting
of the New York Nationals and the
Boston Americans in the memorable
conflict of 1912. This SERIES which
still holds the record for number of
games, attendance and gate receipts,
went full eight contests before the
Boston Red Sox emerged victors.
