CUBS SAY GOODBYE
 ID POLO GROUNDS
Will Probably Meet Red SOx in
 Worlds Series

With four out of five games of the over the Giants and a bushelful more prestige than they had brought with them, the Cubs last evening bade the Polo Grounds farewell for the year. During it's short stay here the Chicago club proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that it was far superior to the New York outfit and that it was the best team in the senior circuit. How ever, Chicago did not prove that it was a truly great club, but rather em- phasized the weak condition of the National League, which greatly re- sembles in composition and calibre the late lamented ederal. The Cubs have a good pitching staff and a great play CT in Hollocher but they do not com pare with the Red Sox which seem most likely to meet them if a worlds series is played.
 After the easy manner in which the Suberbas cleaned up the Cubs the wretched failure of the Giants against the Chicago team came as a surprise to the vast majority of local fans and demonstrated to those who had been hoping against hope that the chances of seeing the big series in this city weren't worth a plugged nickel. In the five games the Giants did not make as many hits as the Cubs made runs. The Giants collected IA runs and 32 hits, as against 34 runs and 55 hits for the Cubs. The opening shutout by Vaughn, in which New York only got one hit, made a big dent in the Giants offensive record, but an even worse showing on defense was recorded in the game of last Friday, in which the Cubs made Il runs and 19 hits against 1 run and ) hits for New York. That game might have developed into a duplicate of the famous 19 to de- bacle in which Matty fgurd as the leading victim some years ago. How ever. the Cubs did not push their at tack too far and seemed content to rest after collecting eleven counters.
 We do not think the Giants are go- ing to do any better in their coming series. Cecil Causey, who has heen the leading pitcher for McGraW, is to leave soon we hear. ~Causey, we un- derstand, already has signed with q ,shipbu;tlins company and is due to uuit the Chants any day
 Whether there will be any worlds series remains to be seen. The own CTS have scheduled it, but the consent of Secretary Baker must be obtained ard there is some doubt whether he will I ermit even two clubs to play be- yond tie September l limit he srt re- gently. If he refuses another meeting of the leagues will be necessary, and q vote in favor of the worlds series

BASEBALL IN PARIS
Johnny Evers Plans Big League Play
 in French Capital

After Johnny Evers' announcement that as a Knights of Columbus sport director overseas he contemplated or ganiZing a baseball team of men in the army and navy to play a series of games in Paris, or nearer the trenches with a team that John McGraw, of the Giants, plans to take abroad, baseball enthusiasts from all parts of the country are suggesting players names for Evers' consideration.
 It is surprising how many players formerly in the big leagues have joined the army or navy and there will be no lack of material from which Evers can draft men for his contemplated team.
 Otis lambeth, of Cleveland; Willie Mitchell, of Detroit, and Jimmie Scott, of the Chicago White Sox, are three American league twirlers whom Evers could well employ. From the National league Evers will have avail able Grover Alexander, of the Cubs; Epa Rixey, of Philadelphia. and Leon Cadore of Brooklyn. Of Ameri- can league fielders, Evers can call on Mike Menoshey, of Washington, and Cal Anzarin, of Boston.

Liberty Loan Totals Here May
Reach Three Millions.
Kansas Is Now Way Over Her
S65, 100000 Quota.

Kansas is over the top on her $65,-
100000 fourth liberty loan quota by
more than $2,000,00O. according to re-
ports received in Topeka from federal
reserve district headquarters at Kan
sas City. The figures given are those
reported at Kansas City at the close
of business Saturday. 1t is estimated
that when all of the stragglers are in,
the Kansas subscription to- the fourth
liberty loan will be about $70,000,00
In Topeka and Shawnee county
subscriptions to the loan are still
coming in and it is expected that the
100000 mark will be reached and
possibly passed within the week. Final
reports on the loan in Shawnee county
will not be available for several days.
Chairman J. r. Burrow, of the liberty
loan committee, said today. but pres
emit prospects are bright for healthy
oversubscription to the loan in addi-
ton to that already reported.
One Of the features of the Shawnee
county-or more properly the Topeka
drive is the showing Of the Santa Fe
general Offices. With employees num-
bering 1900, the offices subscribed
$175.000 with every employee repre-
scented on the subscription list. The
average per employe Is a little more
than $116. In Topeka the combined
subscription of the Santa Fe offices
and shops totalled $550,O00 from
personnel of $500 workers. The aver

Hun Plans.

German Commander Says He
Esteems Belgians.
Freedom Comes With Eyacua-
ton by the Boche.

Rome. Oct. 22.-Baron Won Der
Lancken, chief of the German political
department at Brussels. has informed
Cardinal MERCER, primate of Bel
GUM that when the Germans evacuate
that country the deported Belgians
and political prisoners will be spon-
taneously released according to the
0sservatore Romano, the semi-official
vatican organ. He told Cardinal Mer-
cier, il is said that a part of the Gcl-
CLANS who were deported would be free
to return to their country on Monday.
This notification was in the form of a
letter handed to the cardinal per-
sonally by Baron Won Der Lancken.
The text of the letter read as follows:
You are the incarnation of the
eminence of occupied Belgium. You
are its venerated and needed pastor.
1t is then to you that the governor
general and my local governor have
charged to announce that when they
vacate your territory they will spon-
taneously set free deported Belgians
and political prisoners. They will be
in part free to return to their country
on Monday.
This declaration is of nature that
will fill your heart with rejoicing. 1
am all the happier to make it to you In
that 1 could not have lived four years
among the Belgian people without
esteeming them and without appre-
ciating their patriotism at its true
value"
1t is understood this communication
has been transmitted to King Albert
and President Wilson.
