If 1T HADN'T BEEN FOR WAR.
Otto Knabe Tells How Player Loss
es Figured in Series.

New York, Oct. 11.-Otto Knabe,
who acted as coach of the Chicago
Cubs during the season and in the
Worlds Series. says the tight COM
petition in the series between the
Cubs and Red Sox was due to the
war.
Suppose" said Knabe, that Bos-
ton had had Barry. Gardner. Lewis
and Leonard in the game, the Cubs
would have been outclassed. Or
suppose we had had Grover AleIan-
der to help out Tyler and Vaughn.
and had Kilduff on second. the Red
Sox would have been lucky to have
grabbed more than two games of
the series.
Had it not been for the war Sam
Jones probably never would have
had a chance to show his ability as
a pitcher this year, for it Is not
likely that he would have been used
as a regular by team that had
Ruth, Leonard. Shore and Mays on
its payroll. Dave Shean never would
have been acquired from Cincinnati
had Barry and Janvrin been around.
Fred Thomas would have been left
in the minors II Larry Gardner had
not been included in a trade neces-

$4,000. and he was at once matched
by a like amount from Make Blu
menthal. Then P. A. Clark said that
il Mr.. Kilmer would patch his buy
he would take out another $4,000.
Mr.. Kilmer promptly sent word back
to Mr.. Clark that if he would match
his $4,000 he would take out that
amount. This was perfectly agreeable
to Mr.. Clark, and in this manner
10000 was raised in a twinkling,
while the clubhouse crowd cheered its

HARD FOR WARNER.
Pitt Coach Unable to Keep Football
Men al Practice.

Pittsburgh, Oct 11.-with the in
fiuenza ban on and every indication
that II will remain in effect for
some time to come, Glenn Warner is
finding It hard to keep the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania football men at
practice. Yesterday four or five of
them failed to appear for practice
and those on the field went about
their work in a spiritless manner.
But there was no let-up and Warner
drove them through an hours prac-
tice. The Camp Pitt team was pit
ted against the University squad
again and gave the regulars a real
tussle.
While no definite announcement
has been made ii is almost certain
that no game will be played Satur-
day by the Panther squad. Spanish
"hu" cases are more numerous
among the civilian population and
the Health Departments quarantine
Will hardly be lifted for some time.

DEMOS, CAMPAIGN SHORT
People Are But Little Interested in
Political Factions This Year.

OKLAHOMA CITY, July THAT
the Democrats will make very
short campaign for final election,
following the August primary, was
the opinion of Alger Melton, chair
man of the state central committee,
here today. Members of the new
state committee will be elected at
the August primary, They will prob
ably meet in the latter part OF
August and organize the committee,
and prepare for state convention
about the first week in October. II
is Mr.. Melton's impression that can
didates would welcome a short final
campaign, about thirty days at the
most, between the state convention
and the election.
People are not very much inter
ested in politics this time" said Mr..
Melton, with the war commanding
the uppermost thoughts and efforts
of the people, there is little time for
other things" Mr.. Melton said that
he would not try for reelection as
of the state committee.
He regarded four years as long
enough and wished that II be passed
on to some one else.
