 nation, he was chased back to the minors. The Sox today might have the services of one of the most bril- liant players of all time if they had only made inquiry as to which arm had been Broken.
 Roush was the property of the Lin coin, Neb., club through the latter part of 1913 and was on it's roster at the
 beginning of the 1914 season. But he
 wasn't satisfied and when the Federal
 league came into existence in 1914 he
 hurdled to that circuit He batted .333
 that season while with the Indianap-
 oils club, and the following year was
 with the Newark Feds where he hit for .29S.
 When the Federal league disbanded Roush became the property of Harry | Sinclair. And Sinclair disposed of him l to the New York Giants at a reported price of $7200. It was up to John Me | Graw to decide whether he would keep Benny Kauff or Eddie Roush. After i long deliberation McGraw decided upon l the retention of Kauff, who had cost about five times as much as Roush. On July 20, 1916, McGraw passed along Roush, Mcketchnie and Mathew : son to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange l for Herzog and Killifer. And since that day Eddie Roush has been one of the | stars of the baseball world.

PLAYS Af SECOND

The real baseball career of the young
 ster began in 1912 as a member of the Oakland City, Indiana, club. At the time RouSh was playing second base7-and do-
 ing so in rather spectacular fashion. His work was so impressive that a mifior league scout sought him out and said to him:
 You look as if you had the malSings of great ball player. But r don't think that the infield is where you belong. You ought to play in the outfield. There your speed and your ability to cover lots or territory ought to help you wonderfully Roush was eager to move up in the
 baseball ranks, but the thought that he
 would be forced 10 play in an unfamiliar
 outfield position if he went into organized baseball caused him to turn down the scout. Roush didn't think he could make good as an outfielCer.
 So Roush turned down the scout. but some months later was influenced to i join the Evansville, Ind, team, which 1 then was a member of the Kitty league. | He was hired to play second base for l the club. But the manager quickly saw in Roush the makings of great
 outfielder So, while he permitted Roush to cavort quite frequently second base, lie schooled him gradually | in outfield play. And in a short time
 the confidence of Roush in himself as
 an outfielder grew to such point that
 he shifted voluntarily to the garden. DUBBED A CRIPPLE
 Roush whanged the ball for .s17 in 1 1913 and then was picked up by the | Chicago White Sox Even before he was given a real trial it was whis- pered around that he was a cripple that some years before he had broken

Tomorrow morning the final details for the series will be made at the na- tonal commission meeting. The umpires will be assigned and the managers of both teams and the umpres will be ac- quainted with the ground rules
 While no official announcement has been made relative to ground rules, it is believed the National league rules will apply for the series. The field is en- tirely free from obstruction in right field, while more than three-quarters of the center field is free, and long hit to certain parts of either of these can possibly result in home run. Ground rules relative to the bleachers in left and center fields hold the runners to three bases, while the ball that is fair. but rolls foul after it passes first or third base and touches the newly erected chair seats that line left and right fields has been considered a two-bagger.

Roush Learned to Use Left
 Arm After Breaking Right
Was Formerly Second Baseman, But Was Per- suaded to Change to Outfield = Was Released When Dubbed Cripple.
 Has Starred With Boston
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

No player in the big leagues has had career quite as unique as that of Eddie field, and one of the greatest players that ever wore a spiked shoe.
 Roush. the star Of the Rhneland out
 Roush started baseballing as a right handed hitter and thrower. During the early days he dreamed dreams of big league career. Then an accident came to him. His right arm-the one time mighty whip-was Fractured. And it was broken
 in such way as to make it almost use less for consistent throwing purposes
 Did Roush despair-did he lay aside his bat and glove? Rcush did nothing of the sort! He merely waited until his right arm had healed to point where it could stand the strain or a Jerky throw by the left hand-and then he began tossing the ball left handed.
 Through weeks and months and ever into years Roush I,racticed throwing witt his left arm. Practice makes perfect iI all things-and it was true in the case O, Roush. Before many months had elapsed he was wrizzing the ball long distances, Then began the practice for control Gradually he acquired this And tokay the left wing of Eddie Roush is ranked as one of the most unerring and one o1 the most powerful in all baseball

NO DISGRACE TO FEEL FEAR
One Result Of War Has Been sansr
Idea Of What Constitutes
Real Bravery.

An English observer calls attention
to the fact that our world war has
destroyed the fear of being afraid.
tiQuity, the one quality insisted on in
the soldier was that he should be
fearless and the more callously go the
better. The faintest tremor of timid-
ity was black mark against the most
respondent knight as well as the low
Hest bowman or halbardier. and the
schooling for war was an utter def
ance of the personal risk
This theory held. as many will re-
member. even till the period Of the
Boer war. when the British suffered
so severely in officers because IL was
held cowardly for commander to
seek cover. Men, then as now felt
fear, for that is one OF aesh's attri-
butes and, indeed. is one of the most
valuable OF human possessions, since
rear is our protection from dangers
and harms innumerable. We fear wild
beasts TO avoid them. snakes and
spiders to Increase our attention.
storms and tempests that we may pre-
pare means OF escape from them.
So II was only in battle that chiv-
airy insisted that Ihan should be with
out fear. or pretend to be.
With the coming of new warfare,
however. all lands at once came to q
more sane understanding and the old
physical bravery has given place to
moral resolution. The man who now
enters the hell OF shell fire. of hurled
flames and deadly gases no longer
attempts to fool himself into the be-
lief that he is not afraid He knows
full well and only stupid nature
could avoid the knowledge that the
human Is at the mercy of forces 4
million times beyond his own ability
to counter. The old knight might
really believe he was able to unhorse
all the enemies that rode against him
and therefore might conceivably be
without fear, but how can a soldier
feel that way when facing modern
weapons OF destruction?
Therefore, II is no longer dis
grace to feel fear or to admit 1T; the
only disgrace Is to allow fear to pre-
vent one doing his duty. How much
finer fiber Is needed for this new de-
fance!

that. since the time man began to DO

COLOGNE'S UPS AND DOWNS
Important German City Of the Present
Has Had Its Periods Of Dire
Adversely.

During the Middle Ages Cologne
was a place OF great trade; the weav-
ers, the goldsmiths. and the armOrers
OF the city were famous the world
over; while its merchants had houses
In London, and the city itself was ac-
corded a chief place In the Hanseatic
League. Decay set In with the dawn of
the Reformation, and the place owed
It's Downfall to Its intolerance. Thus,
Its university, which in the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries had great
reputation, began at once to decline.
This policy dealt severe blows at the
prosperity of the town, and when,
In 1T4, Cologne was occupied by the
French, II was poor and decayed
city Of some 10000 inhabitants, of
which only 5000 possessed civil rights.
Since 1918. however, when II was
finally assigned to Prussia. Cologne
has continued to prosper, until to-
day II is one OF the most important
ciiies OF Germany, with population
Of nearly half million.
