the prowess of the Bruin moundsmen, we are still sticking our shellels on the American league champions, for we be- lieve the Johnson circuit is about 25 per cent stronger than it's older rival and experience has taught us that this opinion is well grounded. Outside of the pitching staff. Killifer and Hol- locher, we don't figure that a single Cub player could get a regular job on any one of the first four teams in the American league standing.
 We are going to make another guess, to-wit: That Jones wins every game he hurls This Red .Sox slow ball art ist has been invincible to sluggers in the American league during his last half dozen appearances, and we see no reason why he should falter against Merkle. Paskert, Hollocher, Mann and those other Cubs who, taking advan tage of the weak pitching in their league this year, have been able to hit far beyond their normal stride.
 Doping this worlds series is like talk ing your girl to picnic, you can't tell what's going to happen next

The Needle, Watson!

Speaking of unmitigated galk (which nobody was), this guy Hugh Fullerton, in forecasting the result of each worlds series game. wins the .pastry without struggle. Hughie is not con tent to merely name the winner of each days battle, but he goes further and tells us exactly who will pitch, how mary hits will be made, and where the pebbles will fall. And, what's more, he gets away with it year after year, so we'll all have to admit the boys clever
 Fullerton bases his prediction on the southpaw hurling of Tyler and Vaughn, who, he says, figures to stop Ruth. Strunk. McInnes and Hooper, the bull wark of Barrows offense.

Major Moon Of Birmingham,
 Captain Archie Rooseuelt and Other Wounded Men ArriUe

An Atlantic Port, September 2.-Capt. Archibald Roosevelt, son of former President Roosevelt arrived here to- day from France. where he was wound ed in the fighting around Cantigny during April. On the same ship were IT other officers and about 30 noncom- missioned officers and men who have been invalided home for distribution in various conyalescing hospitals. In ad- dition to having his left arm shat tered by a German machine gun bull let while leading his men in charge Captain Roosevelt is suffering from what he described as "a bad case of nerves" His arm is partly paralyzed and it is likely he will not be able to return to active duty for many months. He declined to say much about the action in which he was wounded, add ing that as a matter of fact he re- membered very little about it.
 Among the officers coming ashore today with Captain Roosevelt was Maj. Hartley A. Moon of Birmingham. Major Moon, who was attached to the Rain bow division during the fighting in Lorraine sector, also had his left arm shattered by a bullet. It is said most of the 300 men as well as the officers who arrived today will not be returned to France because of the severe na- ture of their wounds.

At Loew's Bijou

At Loew's BijOu A capacity crowd greeted the offer ings at Loew's Bijou theatre yester- day afternoon at the two matinees as well as the two night performances The headline act, "The Excelsior Mod- els.o was received with much ar- plause at each show, it being one of tho cleverest bits of posing ever witnessed in Birmingham. gThe young women In the cast were of superb figule e. and the poses they offered were or the highest class of art. The photoplay in which Jewel Car men stars, "Lawless Love-" is q spien- did depletion of the west, the rustic beauty of the photoplay being notice- able in each part. Jewel Carmen is great in this film. it being stirring drama of the, west, where love ana thrills are very happily mixed. Sidney Forbes was the hit of the bill in his recitations and songs of Kip bling repertoire. he having an excep- tional voice with wonderful range He was applauded vociferously at the end of each number. and at the coE- clusion of his act, the audience begged for more.
 Charles c. Rice and Ruth Ward presented Her Uncle's Ward" which proved to be a most clever farce, of a most entertai ming ealibre.
 , The Wiseman sisters and Billy Long were splendid in bits of musical come dy, which included the latest song hits, dances and comedy. Caron and Far mum, in funny knockabouts and come- dy acrobatic stunts, completed the bill.
 decided feature of the programme was the film just released by the Uni ted States government in which With Pershing's Men in France" is shown to a great advantage and the auditors are allowed to get glimpse into real warfare and its preparation~in France. The film was intensively interesting and called forth much applause at intervals throughout the picture.
 At the Strand i
 One cannot fail to have their heart strings tugged at if they witness "The Service Star being shown at the Strand today and Wednesday. It is q play of the moment. symbolizing by it's title the flag of all mothers. While in no sense war play-there Is net a single battle scene in it--it combines the hopes and fears and prayers of every woman who has sent man ovcr- seas, tells the story of a hero's wait ing wife and the strange deception practiced on the draft board and what discovery meant to every one con- cerned
 Filled with strong situations and wonderful love story, 'The Service Star" is capital play even if it were not of extreme timeliness. Madge Kennedy has never been seen to better advantage. Other interest," ing, numbers on the programme are the Pathe war news which never fail

 Scanlon and Denny are one of the stellar attractions on the Keith bill at the Lyric which was enjoyed by crowded houses Monday evening. This team of dancers are among the cleverest seen here recently. The female member of the team is especially clever and pos sessed of much grace. Both dancers are excellent and their work draws much applause.
 The new bill is very pleasing. Knu.e Erickson and Flavia Arcaro open the entertainnlent with a mixture of comedy and song Cured" is the title of the vehicle and 1t abounds in comedy. Brick son furnishes the fun and Miss Arcaro sings well selected numbers. She has a very pleasing voice and her impersona tions are good
 Otto Kerner. Jackie Mason and Frank Wilson prove highly pleasing in Pep V a comedy playiet teaching a moral. Mr. Kerner does some clever bit of charac- ter acting as the "old fogey' business man who holds to ancient methods, but Pep" works miracle in his case. and during the transformation the audience is highly entertained. The Four Avellos furnish some entertaining selections cn the xylophone and prove themselves mas ters of this instrument. The act is ono of the features of the bill. Dennis Brothers, aerial comiques. were unable to appear Monday evening owing to the failure of their baggage to arrive. They will appear this afternoon matinee and for the remainder of their engagement. The Lyric Screen Telegrams furnish much entertainment and are interesting and educational.

Three Prodigious Months

From "rhe Progress of the World" in
 the American Reviews of Reviews.
 Any other three months in the his- tory of the human race appear trival and tagging when their events are com pared with the miraculous transforma- tion in the fortunes of the civilized world that came between July IS and October 15, 1918. On the earlier date even the stout British warrior Haig was using the phrase, "our backs to the wall" More than a million people had left Paris in anticipation of it's capture hy the Germans. The imperial Teu- tonic dreams of a "Mitteleuropa,' hugely enlarged over earlier ambitions by the enslavement of 60,000,000 Rus sians, with controlled access to the east seemed an accomplished fact which could only be reserved by years of bloody warfare. Prussian autocracy was never so arrogant nor so sure of it's frontiers without and within. The allies hope was in the years, not the months, to come; and in the shiploads of youths untried in warfare, citizens of a peace-loving nation with only a sud- denly improvised military establish |ment-youths who must be transported by the million, with their unbelievably vast stores of arms and supplies, over 5000 miles of water invested with en- emy submarines. Thus 1t was in July Tn October the civilized world rubbed its eyes to see the German hordes de- feated not once or twice, but scores of times in as many engagements, each of which would be a great battle by any standards but those of this stupendous war. More than 3,0O0,0 900 Germans were in full retreat from Belgium and north ern France, with their best hope mere ly to escape from complete disaster Bulgaria, a keystone of the eastern dream structure, had fallen. Turkey and Austria were tottering. Germany was suing for peace, humbly accepting in toto the American Presidents ideas of terms, and agreeing to evacuate all lands her armies had overrun Prussia was in frantic haste, pushing through those constitutional reforms which, she hoped, would persuade America to a willingness to deal with her. The Teu. tons were beaten.
