A WOEFUL WORLD SERIES

NOWHERE in America is there an in
~ stitution that mirrors the changed life
Of the country so vividly as professional
baseball in these days of the world
series. We can all remember the old sun
shiny afternoons toward the end of other
seasons when, in an atmosphere of flags
and festival at Shibe Park, Mr.. Cobb or
Mr. Wagner or Mr.. Speaker, or others
equally exalted, lined up like brides at
wedding to receive the gllttering rewards
lavished by friend and fan for their serv-
ices in the final games.
Who cannot recall photographs of famed
twirlers in the glossy new devil wagons
bestowed on them with gold and flowers
and diamond scarf pins in the blessed days
of peace? The demgods of the big leagues
were accustomed TO manifest sort OF
shy condescension, to blush a little, to
nudge the gravel with an embarrassed toe,
to cast down their eyes at those evidences

II especially true of Europe, where the
spiritual experiences of the people have

consider means by which we might give
to the Parkway some permanent and
dominating feature commemorative of the
nations greatest adventure and of the men
who participated in it.

last year of the Civil War. The writer
stood the midnight watch at post head
quarters. Then at the age of less than
seventeen years, and having been exposed
a great deal to cold, doing escorting and
scouting duty, I suffered frequently with
toothache and frosted feet, especially on
that cold night while on guard duty. The
commander OF the post, in passing by,
seemed to have noticed my discomfort and
pain. and, hating, he inquired of my
trouble. Looking at me for a moment with

rifle, well, if they report you, don't that
report have to be made to me?" Without
another word I accepted the commanders
suggestion; I rolled up in the blankets, got
warm and fell asleep.
More than fifty years have passed since
this incident. l have met with many per.
sons in different parts of the world, but
none with kinder nature. Perhaps none
except those with actual war experiences
can fully appreciate this act of kindness,

of the devotion of worshipful devotees
And now we are forced to read of them
as they sit with pencil and paper and
wonder whether to strike because they
are to receive so little in gate money and
bonuses.
Players on the winning team in the
series, II appears, will receive paltry $1,000
or so. The losers will be lucky II they get
$500 each. What changes has the mad Kaiser
wrought! But few years ago the men,
bers of winning world series team went
away to Florida, and white fannels, with
extra emolument calculabe mainly in
thousands. And the music of fandom's
cheers helped them under the burden.
We aren't disposed to believe that the
Federal War Labor Board will intervene IL
the players should strike and refuse to
play because the managers aren't able to
pay them an increased percentage from
the diminished earnings of the series.
Some one ought to suggest to the unhappy
big leaguers that money isn't everything
in life. There are men now working for
a dollar day in the ranks who volun-
tarily turned away from incomes bigger
than any ball star ever made And they
aren't thinking Of strike for more pay.

FEMININE CROSS-CURRENTS IN NEW
YORK

NNHE position Of women in politics is far
= from being clearly defined by the pres
ent situation in New York State In COM
monwealths where the franchise is denied
them, specific zeal for suffrage unites
large numbers of the feminine population
Recognition of the desired status, however,
II Immediately productive of complexities
The alignment of feminine phalanxes in
New York. though family Illuminating in
certain instances, is really no reliable index
Of the probable course of political currents
IN community where all adult citizens
have the vote.
The indications that one woman Is likely
TO be elected to the Senate in Albany by the
Republicans and that, three women will go
to the Assembly for the same party would
seem to argue that the choice of feminine
candidates warrants consideration and
respect
On the other hand, the doubtful glory
Of the nomination for the lower house
n OF the Legislature in emphaticaly Repub-
ncan districts has been accorded to eight
women by the Democrats. Manhattan Re-
publicans have played a similar game in
nominating two women for Congress in
fstricts which will almost certainly be
arried by the Democrats.
Such tactics imply that the political
leaders have in view double purpose, in
volving fattery of the enfranchsed sex
BY nominations and playing safe by sup
porting women in territory where the
chances of their election are slim.
The haziness of the present time is par
ticularly exemplified in the case of Mrs
dsstined TO hold office. Unquestionably
fehinine purposes in the political arena
win be easier to distinguish when the en-
b1rrassments of novelty in New York

Always some one to boycott it:

When 1 daintily bring forth cigarette
And Ito try. to show a bit of etiquette)
I say, May I smoke a litte?"
They don't care one jot or title;
Some ones sure to spring that: eth

And have it clutched serenely in my grippe,
With its fragrant incense rising,

AS to hear that criticizng:
