inevitable that innelding on a winning team with good pitching Is easier thai; working behind pitchers who are be- ing hit hard all the time. Further, tse pitching against winning team all ways is softer on the average.
 All of these things have tended to improve Sheans work, but the great in crease has been in spirit and conf- dence he has found at last.
 When We come to apply these to a
 worlds series however, the psycholog-
 ical effect diminishes. Chean has gained
 some points because the pitching

 of the team also will tend to help
 Shean's chances of hitting safely You often find that the supposed weak hit ters of worlds series team are the batting heroes. merely because the pitchers exhaust themselves and their |arts to stop the sluggers and are
 bumped by those not expected to hit hard.
 However, we cannot figure Shean to do any great amount of hitting against the Cub twirlers. In fact. it looks aa If we are compelled to almost count

 They certainly do not figure to have | place among the shock troops.
 Rollie Zeider always has been a weak hitter, and often an cratic fielder, but Zeider is a dangerous ball player. lie
 is extremely smart. resourceful and tricky, and if the rules permitted
 stealing first base he would today rank as one of the Ty Cobbs of the game.
 Zeider has been hitting well this year. at least better than usual, and f'cct-
 ing the ball squarely, while his auda- cious running on the bases has con
 tributed largely to the Cub sGccesses.
 He has broken up many games by his startling moves on the bases and ry
 figures indicate that he probably has been successful in a larger percentage of his efforts than any player in either league, which shows what he can do

FEEDER GOOD AGAINST sOX

Against the Boston club Zeider would hit somewhat better than he would against the Cleveland pitchers, because Coveleskie, Morton and Bagby all would tend to make a bat waver out of him. He does not figure to hit nearly as we'll against the Red Sox pitchers as against the twirlers of his own circuit Bush will trouble him greatly. He probably would hit against Mays better than even against Jones, and whether he gets foul off Ruth or not depends upon Ruths condition on his pitching days.
 In fielding Zeider will be slightly hand icapped against the Red Sox because the team is faster than the majority sofzthose against which he has been working. Zei- der has not shown well in the National this year in games against speedy teams, indicating that he cannot work as fast as he could in former years.
 I have been somewhat worried about Zeider's condition in the recent weeks. His feet are bad and he slows up at times when the damaged members give trouble. Also, when he was in the east he looked to be slightly off his games both in New York and Brooklyn. Mitch ell has been trying Pick out at second to replace Zeider in case the veterans feet bother him in the series, but one thing is certain, and that is that Zeider will play with booth feet off unless ordered out. He is one of the gamest man in ha seball

The Crowley and Kiowa county
delegations at the National Old
Trails association convention held in
Kansas City this week brought about
results in one sense Of hte word, for
they put the Kansas Colorado boule-

publicity in the Kansas City papers

from this county, brought Kansas
City Star back with rim which hal

Highway as Fast as a Car.
The first paragraph of the article
read:
A "road as fast as the car" with 4

Mr.. Broadbent states that the mat

Food Administration has set aside the

The depressing shortage of wheat
makes Potato Week" particularly
timely, because potatoes have been
recognized by eminent food authori
ties as practically equivalent to wheat
In food values. One medium sized po
tato contains as much nourishment ~
one large slice OF wheat bread.
Belgium and Italy are starving
France and England standing off the
German with blood are crying to Am.
erica for bread. And every potato
eaten means that much more wheat
which can be shipped overseas to feed
those who have given all except life
to stop the invader.
Arrangements are being made with
retail grocers to put potatoes on the
market at the lowest possible price,
and householders are urged to lay In
as large a supply as possible, and
serve them at at least two meals =
day.

Convention

The Crowley county Sunday School
convention held in ordway April IL
and 12 was a great success. and con-
tanned many features both helpful
and enjoyable.
The music, led by a chorus from
the High School, and several special
numbers were fine.
nunILois, we're fine. Rev. Konkel, of
Canon City, gave three inspiring ad-
dresses: THE Chief Business of a
Sunday School Teacher" being sum
med up in the winning of pupils to
the Christian life, as the highest oh
ject for Sunday School teacher,
Inter Denomination Sunday School
Work and Community Relations"
gave a broad plan of cooperation be-
tween churches of a community in
bringing people into the church and
establishing harmony.
DR.. Allen, La Junta, gave many
helpful suggestion on How to Make
The Bible Interesting" Rev. Gum
of Fowler, showed the value of a
teacher training course in his talk
Psychology OF The Bible" and ought
to inspire every Sunday School work
er to study as never before, especially
along the line of Psychology.
One of the greatest problems of the
Sunday School stopping The Leak. u
was ably discussed by secretary AL
bertson and members of the conven-
tion. Making the Sunday School in
teresting and applying the same great
psychological laws necessary to make
success of anything else, seems to
be the solution.
Seperate meetings at the two
churches for men and women were
addressed by Rev. Conkel, secretary
Albertson and Jas. Maxey, and proved
helpful and inspiring.
Throughout the Aconvention "Loyal-
ty" was the keynote and was espec-
tally emphasized by secretary AL
