Anew YORK. June S.-The first
N series Of East vs.. West in the two
major leagues have been completed
and through these clashes some start
ling form reversals have been written
into the baseball history OF the 1913
season. Teams which were expected
TO ride roughshod over apparently
weaker combinations have failed dis
malIy, and clubs Of which little had
been expected were quite successful
in these iuCersectional combats-
The pennanr winners OF l9ls-
the White soE in the American
league, and the Giants in the Ma
1iouaI league. proved real disap-
pointmeuts TO their followers
The work OF each championship
club in its own section led the
fans 10 expect q good record on
the road, but neither got as much
MS an even break during its
travels. The white soU won six
games in Il. while the Giants
won five Of the IA played. Many
critics believe that these two
clubs win again battle in
worlds series, but they viii have

they have shown during the past
month if they are TO via any
Championship this season
Take nothing for granted In base
balr has long been familiar advice
to followers Of the sport, and the re-
cent International clashes simply
added weight TO the argument. The
idea that the Boston Braves, tall
euders when the eastern clubs OF the
National league went west, would be
able to go through that section with
out LOSING q series would have been
rIdiculed when the invasion started
But StaIlinEs crowd proved that
Greeley was right. The Braves
could not get anywhere against the
eastern clubs and had won something
like five games Of 19 played on east
ern soil They went west and pros
pered-
Giants Fail.
All Inc Braves did in the west was
70 take two Of three games at Chi
caEo. break even in four games at
Cincinnati take three Of the five
games at St Louis and win three
Straight ut Pittsburg- During their
travels the Braves won ten games
and lost only five While the Giants
had TO be content with one series In
the west. that against the Cardinals,
the Braves were able 20 win three
and tie one. Even the PhLiies. who
had been easy picking for the Giants
in the east were able 20 win more
games in the west than we're the lc-
GraW cohorts. 110ran's men won six

Opie Read is one Of the most be-
loved literary characters America hns
produced. He has style all his own,
and has created some Of the most in
teresting and thoroughly American
characters found in any literature.
Many Of his stories have dealt with
the Old South, for that is where Opie
Reads heart has always lived.
or Linn Jucklin is undoubtedly the
greatest of nll the Read characters.
At Chnutauqua Mr.. Read will appear
as Lin Jucklin and in the quaint and
humorous philosophy of that now eel
ebrated southerner he will lend his
audience through nm hour of unalloyed
enjoyment.
People laugh Mt Read until their
sides are sore. Perhaps the next min
ute they are wiping an honest tear
over some tender scene he has de.
picted. Throughout the whole period,
however. they will be lifted to high
flights Of enjoyment such us they have
seldom experienced before.
Opie Reads blood is favored with
wild honeysuckle and sweet brier. He
has remarkable genius for enter
tainment and everybody learns to love
him rs well us to thoroughly enjoy his
platform entertainment
