 MINOR LEAGUE.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-03-06

Chicago's world champion White Sox furnish just two problems, and if Man ager Rowland can solve these. or if they solve themselves, the White Sox will win another championship.
 In the study of the major league clubs, we may as well begin with the begin ming: The champions, first. because they have been hit less by the war than any other team, and second, because they are practically set for the season,
 while the other teams are milling around trying to figure some lineup that has a remote chance of remaining un-
 broken through the season.
 There remains two problems; Faber
 and the third -shortstop comoina-
 tion The Faber problem is by far the
 most serious. and it is the more so be-
 cause it is out of the hands of the man.
 ager to do anything. The situation is this: The White Sox have short and crippled pitching staff. The same situa-
 tion existed last season, for, after Scott's arm went wrong and he joined the army,
 the team had only two reliable pitchers
 Cicotte and Faber. It was not general ly known. but Reb Russels arm was gone from the middle of the season. He concealed and camouflaged the condi- tion. Something had slipped, some mus cle was displaced and knot formed on
 his upper arm which lamed him. He pitched with great effort and with con- siderable suffering. The loss of star left-hander at that stage of the game made the outlook serious. It was 1000 to I that Russell would not perform in the worlds series. He was wild to pitch and some of the players sided with him-urg- ing that he be given chance. They were simply letting sentiment run away with good sense, for they knew the con dition of his arm. Rowland yielded, and almost lost cinch championship by doing so There is small chance that Russell will be of any great use to the White SoX this season, or any other season. Those who have examined the arm are of the opinion that it never again will be what it was.
 That leaves Rowland with Cicotte. great pitcher; Williams, coming left handler Danforth, unreliable, but one who should improve; and good old Benz, who is always trying and willing. Be- sides there are a swarm of tryouts who do not appear to amount to much and Faber.
 If you examine the situation you will see how much depends upon Faber. This fellow, we have known ever since he joined the White Sox, should have been another Walsh. He has strength. speed, a cracking curve-he has everything any one needs but he always appeared in- different lazy, as though he was suf- fering from unaroused ambition He was easy going but seemed to lack that final touch of nerve and determination that makes a good pitcher great pitcher

$50 Miles of Railway
Needed For u. S. Men
in France, Chief Says

Philadelphia, Oct. 4.-"Five hun
dred and fifty miles of railroad is
necessary to supply the American
army in France with food and the
impliments of war" Horace c. Booz,
corporate engineer of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. said yesterday. Mr..
Booz until recently was colonel
in the Unite1 States Army. and has
Just returned from France, where Re
was in charge of the maintenance
of railroads for the American arm
les.
The British have only ninety
miles of railroads to care for" he
added. And the railroads must be
built in such a way that destruction
to one or more buildings during a
night bombing expedition by the
Germans will not seriously stop
transportation. Labor and supplies
are hard TO get, and we were forced
to face many problems unknown to
transportation experts in the United
States.
But the work is progressing nice
ly, and it is safe to say now that the
railroads in France are at the dis
posal of the. American armies with
out any Gear of disturbance by the
enemy"

HEAR CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE LECTURE
John w. Doorly Explains War
Phases and Religious
TenetS

Christian Science as a helpful fac
tor in wartime was ably discussed
by John w. Doorly. Leeds. England
who lectured in the Orpheum theater
last night under the auspices of the
local First Church of Christ Scien-
tist. Mr. Doorly is member of the
Board of Lectureship of the Mother
Church. the First Church of Christ
Scientist in Boston. Mass. He was
introduced by a. Carson Stamm.
In part, the lecturer, said:
Let us consider the present catas-
trophe which is affecting mankind
and which we call the war. Well.
someone says, how is the war going
to be affected by prayer? Let us look
at it. You will agree with ME. am
sure, that the cause of this war is
mad ambition and human will. Now
are mad ambition and human Will
mental or material? They are men
tai of course. and are both eHeets
of the one evil. the so-called carnal
mind. They are also closely allied
to that other pernicious effect or
the carnal mind, called mesmerism
or hypnotism.
How. then. are we going to deal
with these effects of the carnal mind
mad ambition, human will, and mes
merism, and thus with their result
the war? We can only deal with
them by understanding, and living
in daily life, the divine fact that
there is and can be but one infinite
mind God, who is all-presence and
ailpower. We must also realize that
the understanding of this divine fact.
that there is but one mind, God. has

which from "a human standpoint have
caused the war, and which. from the
same standpoint, are still perpetual
ing il, would never have had either
the influence or the power to have
manifested themselves in a war. for
they would have been controlled and
overcome by spiritual understanding
before they. had developed into this
material catastrophe.
However. what humanity has not
enough spiritual understanding to
overcome, IL must meet and destroy
with its highest human ideals. Be-
cause of humanitys present self-sac-
rifice and its Willingness to give up
its dearest material possessions in
order that its spiritual ideals may
live, the teachings of Christ Jesus
will undoubtedly become clearer in
human experience. and il will be4
seen that war is a totally unnecessary
evil and that individuals and nations
can only bless themselves by bless
Ing each other, and not by laying
plans for each others destruction.
Because of the coming together at
the present time of the English
speaking races, as a result of their
unity of ideals. much is being done
to make war an impossibility and to
bring all men together in the unity
of the ideals of Christ Jesus.
The day is surely approaching
when men of all nations and creeds
will no longer waste their time and
be befooled by the suggestions of
that one evil. the so-called carnaI
mind, into seeking health. happiness.
or holiness through material means,
but when all men will seek 70 know

ing of God and of His divine law,
spiritual existence, sin, disease

pass away into their native moth
ingness. into utter darkness before
the light of Christ or of spiritual
understanding"

Pennsy machinists in the Altoona

cording to figures announced last
night, and 2,6l4 of them have pledg-
ed $204,550.
However, the machinists are not

to make an even better record.
Keen rivalry will doubtless be found
during the ensuing days of the CAM

| to come on top of the list owing TO
their superiority in numbers.

Engines of Other Roads
Sent to Reading Shops

Because of the splendid equipment
at the Reading locomotive shop. the
united railway administration has or
| dered locomotives of other lines sent
there for repairs. At present the
company has four belonging to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, two of
the Central of New Jersey and one of
the Cornwall and Lebanon. 1t is pre-
force of men will be increased and
all of the stalls taken up by locomo-
tives needing general repairs or the
building of new ones. All of the

have been supplied with modern ma
chinery so that minor repairs can be
made at these points without sending
the engines to Reading.

QUIZ THOSE IN
LIBERTY COURT
Rock Islanders Given Hearings For
Not Buying Bonds -Sten0gra-
phic Records Taken.

The Rock Island Liberty loan
court was in session several hours
yesterday considering cases brought
TO its attention under the ruling au-
thorizing it to review the returns
or the canvassers for the fourth
Liberty loan
H. H. Cleaveland was the pre-
siding chief justice and Benjamin
A Stewart acted as chief clerk. A
stenographic record of the proceed
ings was made for the future guild
ance and information of the court.
Eleven citizens, who had been
summoned before the court yester-
day, were closely questioned, with
the result that as soon as they re-
allied the necessity of coming TO
the governments aid in the pres
ent campaign, they came across
with subscriptions. All in all, the
results of the days sitting were ex-
tremely satisfactory and the value
OF the court in handling these re-
calcitrant cases was clearly dem
onstrated
One of the unfortunate features
disclosed in the present canvass is
the fact that some well-to-do sub
scribers have sought to escape their
just share of the common burden
by making voluntary subscriptions

Rock Island city comm issioners
today made the statement that they
have received reports. from what
they believed 10 be reliable
sources, 20 the effect that the Tri-
city Railway company is endeav-
oFlug 10 obtain authority TO in
crease street car fares in this local
lty through petition to the Illinois
state utilities commission whereby
the company can obtain sufficient
income from holdings in this com
munlty TO pay q good dividend on
said belongings and also TO bolster
up dividends OF interurban and
city street car lines in other parts
Of Illinois and in other states in
addition to Illinois where business
IS not SO lucrative as il is in this
locality
The reports TO the city commits
SiOners further set forth that if
more dividends are not forthcom-
ing in this prosperous locality the
company viii fail TO receive full
dividends for all of its property
throughout the country where re
turns are not so great as those ex-
perienced here.
Rock Island city officials, how
ever. state that while they give full
cTedence to The reports received,
they are nevertheless at a loss
TO obtain means whereby they can
sUbstanGate them. The commits
sioners state that the only way
these reports could be substantial
ed would be through an investiga-
ton of the company's records, and
authority is not had for this pro-
Cedure.
However. the commissioner say
that they believe il to be the duty
OF the utilities commission, before
granting the seven-cent fare asked
by the company, to investigate the
companys holdings and dividends
paid on said holdings in other
states before granting an increase
IN fare that would force citizens
Of Illinois to pay for service re
ceived by citizens Of any other
state where the company may be
furnishing street car service.
In the meantime the city COM
missiOuers are taking all steps
possible TO forestalI the granting of
the fare increase at the hearing be
fore the utilities commission in
Chicago next Monday.
Action Applies To Gas.
The report received by the com
n5ssioners regarding the alleged
plans of the street car company to
obtain income il this locality suf-
fcient TO pay dividends on its 10
cal holdings and to bolster up those
on other properties, also refer to
the United Railway and Light com
pany, which has granted an in
crease in gas rates from IS cents
to 81 per 900 cubic feet by the
Illinois utilities commission last
April
The report set forth that this
company also holds property in
other localities that are not strictly
paying propositions, and that the
5ncrease was asked from citizens
OF this more prosperous locality
in order 10 bolster up dividends re
ceivcd from holdings situated in
less prosperous portions of the
country.
