Jupiter rules strongly for evil
this day, while both Neptune and
Mars are mildly favorable.
Great extremes in trade situa-
tions are prognosticated. The wise
will conserve their means and pre-
pare for financial strain.
Jupiter appears to foreshadow
anxiety for bankers and concern for
those who have foresight in public
matters.
Today both on land and sea the
forces Of destruction seem to abate
in power.
All the star interpreters agree
that there will be no medium in our
country's achievements in war and
thus the best and the worst are to
be expected.
There is a sign held to presage
cooperation in domestic affairs as
well as in public busines. Great
enterprises will be reflected In
small things, 1t is prophesied.
A head of one of the large organi-
cations of the war may meet with
a tragedy before spring. according
to a reading of the stars.
Growth of religious feeling and
the spread OF spiritual ideals are
forecast by those who prophesy the
dawning OF a brighter day for hu-
manity.
There is a prophecy that a waif
from Europe will rise to supreme
heights in America and become one
of the world teachers SO long pro-
claimed by occultists.
This should be an auspicious day
for healing through the application
of oils or by means of electricity
or hypnotism.
With the predicted increase in the
birthrate will come an added beauty
of type among children born in
1918. Many of these should be rare
ly gifted, since the middle of the
century is to be a new golden age
for arts and letters.
Persons whose birthdate It is are
threatened with losses and they
should beware of speculation.
Children born on this day may
be extravagant and fond of luxury.
These subjects of Aquarius are
likely to be very fastidious.

ROCK ISLANDER
STAR OF TEAMS
Clipping Says Elmer Engman Best
at Baseball at Army Camp
in South.
PICKED FOR SECOND BASE
Left This City In Draft Quota for
Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg,
Miss, In Spring.

Word has been received here IN
a letter 10 friends to the effect that
Elmer Engman, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew G. Engman, 2734 Eighth
and-a-half avenue, Rock Island. Ia
considered as the baseball prize Of
prizes at Camp Shelby, HattiesDurg,
Miss.
Engman left Rock Island this
spring in the draft quota entrained
TO Camp Shelby. and is one Of the
star players mentioned In a Hat
tiesburg newspaper as playing in
the camp Division league.
The clipping states that much in
terest is being shown In the third
reries of the Division league, which
was opened recently.
Engman is playing with the One
Hundred and Forty-ninth infantry,
popularity known as the Corn
Crackers" and which is consid-
cred one of the best teams in the
league.
The Rock Island man was picked
to play second base after material
from several thousand men was
looked over
lEaE uEis
The Rock Island man in the past
has played with the Three Eye
league, the Central league, and the
last four years of his league play
ing was spent in the Southern
league.
Last summer he was with the We
lie Greys OF Moline, and added
greatly to the strength Of that
team. What is thought Of Engman
in regards to being a baseball art
list is well described in a portion
of the article clipped from the Hat
tiesburg paper, which is appended:
Engman. contended by many TO
be the best second baseman in the
division, is back at his old sack.
Engman is really remarkable
player with his lightning fielding
tactics and his capacity to throw
from any angle-in itself a pecu-
liar and hazardous quality, which
keeps the opposition guessing and
en- the watch for the unexpected,
while on the defensive. Engman's
hitting stacks up well with his
fielding and he has hammered the
heart out of many a twirler on the
mound. All in all. he is one Of the
stars of the team, and his eight
years experience in many minor
leagues makes him a valuable per-
former.

CUBS COP FROM
BRAVES 8 TO 4

Boston, Aug by great good
luck the Cubs copied this game 3
to 4, and will slide into New York
in the morning with four game
lead. Then will come the test to
see which stays in first place. Yes
terday's combat was a very bitter
struggle, replete with trickery and
the bean ball. Dick Rudolph start
ed for the Graves and Cloudy
Claude Hendrix did likewise for the
Cubs Neither finished.
The first symptoms of bad feel
ing broke out the first time McCabe
went to bat. Rudolph brushed Bill
away from the pan with the bean
ball and did it again in the fourth.
The Cubs might have stood for this
but for a mean trick Olaf Wilson
played on Cloudy Claude in the last
of the fourth. Wickland was on
third with two out. Wilson knocked
a long foul and moved down to-
ward third while the pill was COM
ing back When the ball was re-
turned to Hendrix the foxy Wilson
asked to look at it. Claude tossed
the pill that way, Wilson sidestep-
ped and Wickland scored amid
hoarse laughter. Just for that

WHITE SOx 80
Mighty Walter Wins Pitching Duel
from Frank Shellenback
Yesterday.

Chicago, Aug. Frank Shellen-
back, the youthful ace of the White
SoX pitching staff, engaged the vet
eran Walter Johnson in duel yes
terday and for nine rounds held his
own with the enemy star, but in the
10th Walter made the youth do a
nose dive and a tail spin to earth,
and Washington won the day, 3
to ,.
SheIlenback had flashes of bril-
liancy that made it a great fight,
but in the end the steady and untir-
ing battle Of Walter the Great was
rewarded. With the exception Of
a couple of innings the Washington
hurler was at his best, which means
he was simply buzzing EN- by first
one batter and then the next. Most
of the time the south siders died
helplessIy, three in a row, and, all
told, Walter famed II of them.
Passes Lead TO Sex Runs.
If the great pitcher lacked in any
thing it was control. He walked
four batsmen during the fray,
which is quite unusual for him.
Both of the Sox talIies were made
by players who were passed to first
base. Only five hits were made,
and the SoX were fortunate in fol-
lowing up the passes IN two in
stances with solid blows.
Shellenback limited the visitors
to eight hits. and three of that num-
Der were poled in the 10th inning.
He was splendid for the regulation
time of nine rounds and actually
might have won the game with per
feet support, for a bad shot to third
by Ray Schalk in the third inning

count. The score:
