Through the valley of Sharon,
where grow the famous roses,
around the crags that tower over
Moab, the British army marches in
victorious pursuit of the fleeing
Turk. For the first time since the
first crusades the Holy Land is
again the scene of strife. Jeru-
salem, the Holy City, fell into
Christian hands slast year. Jericho,
of Biblical fame, is a military base.
Damascus, where Paul and Ananias
had their famous meeting, has come
into the hands of the English. and
Nazareth, home of the Redeem
er, has become again a city of the
cross. These spots so sacred to the
Christian heart, famed in lore and
story, will never again come under
the domination of the unspeakable
Ottoman.

CHASE ACCUSED OF BR|b|NG PLAYERS Red First Sacker Draws Suspension on Charge
 of Dishonesty

This baseball season full of shocks fur about last week in the story from C,n- cinnati, exp'aining the mysterious sus pension of Hal Chase, first baseman of the Reds. Chase himself has made plain no further hesitancy in stating them. He's accused of betting on ball games, for and against his own team, and or attempting tc bribe a pitcher on another team to throw game.
 Chase den:es any wrong most posi- lively, while admitting that he may have now and then thought enough of his own teams chances to place "piker' bets like slo or $20 on Il, put that he has bet against his team, Or that he ever attempted to influence the result of game with money he declares to be ridiculous and an unjust accusation
 President Hermann of the Cincinnati club thought enough of the charges when laid before him by Manager Mathewson, osuspend Chase for the rest of the season and lay the case before the National league directors, Chase says he will clear himself, demand full salary for the time of his suspension, and per. haps sue somebody for the damage dona his baseball reputation.
 MT. Herrms m says he hopes Chase can clear himself, but that the case looks rather bad.

CHICAGO C|NCHED
 NATIONAL LEAGUE
 TENANT SUNDAY
Cubs Can Now Lose Every Game and Win Rag-Red SOx Are Four Games
 Ahead of Indians

New York August 25.-Chicago made sure of the National league pennant to- day by winning the first game of a dou- ble header with Brooklyn. Chcago's probable American league opponent in the world series will be Boston, which leads Cleveland by four games and Washington by five.
 The National league leaders increased their margin over New York last week by winning seven games out of nine, while the Giants won only two in six. New York won one game out of three with Chicago and also with Pittsburg
 The Cubs took three of their four games with Boston and trounced Brook lyn twice Saturday. Hendrix contributed a home run in each of the two games he won. Saturday Chicago beat Grimes of Brooklyn, who had won nine straight games, a season record. Martin blanked Boston with three hits Monday received credit for Fridays victory over New York and held Brooklyn to four hits Saturday. Rain prevented New York from meeting St. Louis in two games to- day.
 Pttsburg won twice in three games with Boston and shared double header
 
 two games ahead of Cincinnati, which is pounding the ball hard. The Reds, who won eight straight until stopped by Grimes Tuesday, then took three straight from Philadelphia and beat Boston Sat urday. Today the Braves held Cincin- nati even in two games.
 In the American league Boston di- vided two games with Cleveland, but gained on the Indians by taking three out of four from St. Louis, while Cleve land was held even by Washington in four games The Red Sox twice won games from St. Louis on four hits. Jones of Boston held Cleveland to two hits Monday.
 The senators. who won twice from St. Louis last week. drew nearer Cleve- land by winning two games from Chi cago today. Shaw and Johnson each a. lowed the White Sox four hits. With Johnson pitching Monday Washington beat St. Louis iR 14 innings.
 New York lost a game to Chicago but won three out of four from Detroit. Chicago was defeated three times in 2 five-game series with Philadelphia.
 The weeks record in each league of games won and lost, with runs and hits, including games of Saturday, Au- gust 24, is as follows:

than either of the Mitchell southpaws
 The figures leave McInnis coh- siderable lead over his rival in the position, although not as much as they would show were they to be compared for an entire season against all kinds of pitching.
 Nothing could be more misleading than figuring Merkle a .310 hitter Gas he has been this season. or than fig uring McInnis a 270 hitter Gas he now figures). If we were calculating for an entire season we would have to follow these figures. But the fact is that the figures practically ought to be reversed McInnis is a normal 300 hitter and has been practically all the time since he broke in, while Merkle's normal gait is around .265. Differing conditions this season, coupled With McInnis' slump while changing posi- tions, have altered their standing. The thing which makes them look so near .ly equal for the purpose of this series is that Merkle is a right-handed hit ter, who hits rather better against the kind of pitching he must meet (es- pecially such as that of Mays and Bush), while McInnis' probable hitting is cut heavily by the fact that he is up against the kind of pitching which has proved effective against him in his own league.
 In fielding, McInnis has all the edge.
 WOOD AT FIRST
 In considering the chances of Cleve- land, which we must do, even though they practically are out of the struggle at this time, we must use composite of two players. I had to figure q composite of Wood and Boscher in right field, and it looks as if I will have to figure Wood in as first base man against Chicago's left-handers, and as right fielder against the right handlers, for surely Fohl will strive to use his full right-handed swing against Vaughn and Tyler.
 Even so, Cleveland does not look mpressively strong against the Cubs compare fairly we'll at that because, their attacking strength will not be as strong as it would be against the Red tSox. In other words, Coveleskie and Morton. with their shoots and speed, would tend to check Merkles batting if they do not stop him to a stand still Tkey are iust the three kind of men who would stop him, especially Coveleskie.
 Tomorrow ting another day, we will consider the second baseman and it is violating no condolences to state we are going to be surprised to find how weak second basemen are this season. However. the weakness or strength does not affect the chances of a team much, provided both candidates are weak, as in this case.
