ASHLAND BOYS ANTICIPATE
PARTICIPATING IN ROUNDUP

The Tidings is in receipt of let
ter from Corporal Fred Payne, a
we'll known Ashland young man, who
is with the 69th regiment in France,
in which he states that none of the
Ashland fellows in his regiment have
had much trouble with the Spanish
"flu," and that all are well and
hitting the ball' every day. They
occasionally receive copies of the
Tidings, he stated, and altho it is q
year and half since the boys left
Ashland all are anxious to see the
home paper and read each copy with
much interest. There are about forty
Ashland boys in the 69th, and II n
paper comes to any one 1t is passed
around among them all.
"The only member of the 65th
that any of us have run into is Clare
King" Fred stated, That outfit
left for some other part of France
just before we reached our present
location, so we missed seeing them.
King was left behind as an instruct
or in an auto school, ,.,.
For the 69th,' he said further,
"let me say that its Ashland men,
bers are looking forward to doing
the Roundup with the homefolks the
coming year, Corporal King has the
same to say for the 65th, so there
should be plenty of heavy artillery
to start the show"

One week ago yesterday. (Septem- Der 4th, to be exacD, ye sport ed took an extra big shot with his pet needle and predicted the result of the worlds series as forecasted in the foregoing. On the day the above box appeared, the author of it was greeted by the gang in the back room, as we'll as by several others around these parts, who knew even less about baseball than he did, with a choice collection of ripe juicy rawzzberries He was told that as a baseball dope artist he might mako a fairly useful oiIcan, and that he knew just about as much about tho national game as William Jennings Bryan who knows about the current price of Haig X Haig. The wise ones also intimated that when the series was over and the bottom knocked out of his prediction, that the boss would be advised by a vel fare committee to secure new sport ing editor. But these and other yer bal bouquets as to our mental def- ciency and lack of inner vision didn't bother us. We only became more de- termined to carry our bluff through So after calling the turn correctly on the first two games when Boston won we rubbed it in by pointing out  that the Cubs would cop the third, and the Red Sox the fourth, and that Chicago would come back and grab the fifth just to show that they were still in the fight. This last forecast made on the morning of the fifth game. when Boston had the series to l. sounded so rash to the boss of the composing room that he laid us little wager that the Sox would fin iSh the title match that day. Noth- ing loath we got way out on a limb and covered his iron man. and there is no need of recording here our ioV at pock eting the same, nor is it nee essarv to relate how we spent it. And finally, when yesterday arrived and we began to throw out our chest proud in tue knowledge that we knew whereof we spoke. the crowd in the old shop liked it just about as much as a barefoot boy likes to dance in a briar bush.

the senior circuit, and seem to be bet ter money players"
 It will be noted that Bostons mar gin yesterday again was only one run. It scored every one of it's four vic- tories over the Cubs by that one run margin. That one run seems to be just as sacred as the cod in the Hub. for in 16 worlds series successes by Boston, clubs 3 have been recorded by one- run margins. In 1915 the Red Sox won all their four games from the PhillieS by one run and dropped only one game to the Moran forces. The series this year was the fourth i1 the fifteen played since 1903 that went six games. The other three were the 1906 series, in which the Chicago Americans won from the Cubs the 1911 affair, i'm which the Giants ran second to the Athletics and the 1917 competition, won by the White SoX over the Giants. Six series have been decided in five games.

 The Catch of the Series.
 Barber swung with all his strength at the third ball pitched. It flew a great streak on line for right field. Whiteman dashed forward. He was tempting fate. If he failed the ball surely would go by him and Barber would never stop until he wason third or better still, until he had crossed the plate.
 And then, while Knabe waved fran tically for Barber to keep on going, and just as the ball was about to strike the ground, Whiteman dived forward in @ last despairing effort with his hands outstretched. His fin gers clutched the ball-and held it although he plunged on to the sod and turned q complete forward som ersauIt While the crowd cheered he massaged his neck and then resumed play. But after Pinch Hitter O'Far- rells hopes had flown skNward White man yielded his position to Babe Ruth The fans stood and roared their delight and appreciation as Whiteman walked to the bench, ach- ing but happy.
 At the conclusion of the first in ming a gentleman stood in the press box and announced that for first time in history of the world carrier pig cons were going to convey the score by innings to Camp Devens. lnas- much as it was the first time in the history that messenger had been

Red Sox, With Only One Error, Set
 Series Record

In past years the worlds series usu- ally developed mediocre baseball, but this season it brought out some of the finest mechanical and mental perform ances yet seen on any diamond in any sort of competition. The Red Sox played five games without an error, and their lone misplay was a mis- judged fly by Whiteman. That sets a fielding record which series to come hardly will excel. The Cubs too with only five errors. played above world & series form. The pitching was splen- did and for the first time in our re- membrance the series failed to develop even one home run, and after all the talk of what Ruth was going to do to the fences. At that, Ruth brought out a three gaser which won the fourth game for the Red SoX. The catching was of a very high caliber, with ths

 In Boston's half of the first Shean called for the ball, examined it and spat upon it for luck. Tyler rubbed
 Shean's saliva off and substituted some of his own. Shean famed, which
 makes it seem a pity that Mitchell
 didn't suck a lemon during the re- mainder of the game.
 In the second Pick singled past Thomas and was feeling very jubilant when he reached first So much so that he kept dancing away from the bag daringly and urging Mays to

 Still, we do not want to seem brag- gadocian, whatever that is,-and not for worlds would we leave anyone open to the inference that we think we know anything about the game, but we affirm, nevertheless, that as a blacksmith we turned out to be a pretty fair lil ol' predicter on the out come of the series.
