Neale Then Doubled.

Neale followed with a double that
SCARED over Joe Jackson's head and
kopf scampered over with the second
run. From that point on Cicotte held
the Reds to one isolated blow. But the
ammunition dump had already blown
up and his fine pitching went to seed.
The Sox had their chances, but they all
went to naught. Starting the second
inning Joe Jackson lifted a high wing
ing fly TO center which Roush badly
| misjudged. The Red star first ran back
on the ball and then came in too late
to haul it down. This was a starter.
In place Of continuing the attack Kid
| Gleason again elected to sacrifice Hap
Felsch, always dangerous slugger, and
Jackson got to third. Chick Gandil
popped to third and there were two out.
Ring then lost control for moment
and walked Risberg, who promptly
stole. Rather than take chance with
| Ray Schalk he also was passed and
with. the bases full Cicotte fired on
roller to Rath. Again in the, third
inning Ring soaked Eddie Collins onl
the thigh and a moment later with
Eddie on second Rath booted Jackson's 81

. me slashing club that ran up bat
ting average OF 1888 against American
league pitchers has been stopped as cold
as a frozen oyster. They can't hit a
lick. They take their big war clubs up
to the plate and spend the rest OF the
afternoon swinging like a collection OF
old gates at the crafty. cunning pitching
that comes hurting their way from
wiry Red arms. The club that batted
close to 800 for an entire season in
the American league has earned exactly
one run in four full ball games and
that lone tally resulted from a fluky
triple and fluky single linked together
for fluky count.
One earned run in 36 innings. one good
honest tally that wasn't gift through
four long afternoons of vaiI1iess swing
ing at battling ball. There you have
the story of the Red tide and the re-
sounding groans of the loyal South
Side fans. One Of the greatest smuggling
machines of all history has been halted
and collared by pitching that was not
TO be denied.

sox Not Hitting.

0OA NOL hlIC1nR.
Hughey Keough many years ago sang
the story telling chorus, 1.-THE Hell OF
y Is They Amt Hittin'." And when
this happens to a ball club that has
depended mainly upon its mighty power
with the mace, grand old Gehenna be-
comes summer resort in comparison.
Cicotte and Ring fought out brilliant
duel In the fourth canto of the big
championship, but where Ring main
tanned his compelling mastery all the
way through, Cicotte blew his own game
in the fifth inning by breaking up In his
defensive play, Strangely enough the
ancient king held up and It was the
ancient bean that went awry. If you
happen to- recall the details it was
Cicotte's slow fielding and bad throw
which cost him five runs and complete
humiliation in his first start,
Saturday three mistakes in one in
ming, two misplays and one error Of
judgment, all Jumped into game
losing mass, cost him his second start
He had the Reds badly baffled and be-
wildered outside of the one chapter
where he blew wide open, and tossed
away the game. Where Cicotte knew
one bad inning, Ring stalked along his
way like a conqueror with as canny a
display as you will ever hope to see.
His support was none too good in spots
behind him, but through it all he took
the breaks and continued to throttle the
enemy until his mates rallied and came
back to earth Ring allowed three hits,
but one of these was a badly misjudged
fly ball that Eddie Roush should have
captured in his ear and still another
was an infield roller that barely curled
beyond Kopfs reach. ii
Hap Felsch's clean blow to left in the
eighth was the only honest hit that the
Red star allowed. On one or two oc-
casions he heard from afar off the call
Of the wild as he gave a pass or soaked
some batsnnan on the spine. But these
mistakes meant nothing as long as he
could stand there and cooly reduce the
famed punch to kickless beverage Of
water and milk
Ring Fans Joe and Hap.
Ring hit two Sox and gave three
passes, but one Of these was an irten-
tional gift to remove Ray Schalk and
bring Cicotte up for softer mark. In
the eighth inning to show that he had
no intention of slipping or caving in
he struck out Joe Jackson and Hap
Felsch with as much ease as II they
had been a brace Of bushers just up
from the underbrush for a first whack
at the real stuff. When Ring hooked
these two rare birds that close to the
end Of the trail the big. crowd emitted
a hollow moan indicating widespread
woe. They knew them and there that
the Red pitcher had their heroes in his
clammy grip with nothing whatsoever to
be done about it except wait for the
melancholy end
Ring had great speed and when his
fast ball, came over the hop attached
was the main factor that stopped such
eminent sons of swat as Collins,
Weaver, Jackson and Felsch.
Cieotte deserved better fate upon
his return, but after all as Eddie TALES
up his diagnosis of the dope he will
find no one but himself to blame. For
four innings he and Ring travelled side
by side in pitching duel of rare merit.
Ring had permitted one fluke blow up
| to this point while Eddie had permitted
but two hits. Starting the fifth Cicotte

IDEAS
By Dr.. Frank Crane

1t is ideas that rule the world. A.
1t was an idea probably that made this
globe in the first place, and when it ceases
to express an idea it will be scrapped.
Whether there be a God or not let the
ologians dispute. But there can be no doubt
that there is an idea of Cod and that it is
supreme in mems minds.
Ideas raised empires, and laid them low.
1t was an idea that caused the French
revolution, that made the upheaval of Rus
STA, that is terrorizing Hungary and Ger
many, that overturned the dynasty in Chi
ia, that brought constitutional government
in Japan, that keeps Ireland in ferment,
that originated the American revolution.
1t was an idea that melted the great war,
it was an idea that stopped it.
The League of Nations is but an idea.
Ideas cause crimes, and punish them.
Ideas make sins, and their forgiveness.
Some ideas creep like snakes, and others
fly as eagles.
Some dominant, rampant, and COM
polling; others are enervating, soporifc
There are ideas of all colors-such is our
fancy-so that we call Encouragement blue,
despair black, jealousy green, envy yellow,
hope rosy, and chastity white.
An idea may live long dormant in the
soul, subtly permeating our being, coloring
our moods, bending our purpose, making of
us hero or a scoundrel.
Or it may strike us suddenly, as a sharp
shooters bullet.
we are Cu0 playLHluSS OIL IDEAS, Cn6lr
marionettes They pull the strings, we
dance.
They burn souls as fire, rot them as sep
sis, energize them as electricity asphyxiate
them as gas, feed them as bread, intoxicate
them as wine, stupefy them as opium.
AS they enter us they produce madness,
mirth, beastliness, piety, honor, peace.
An idea draws upward the corners of the
mouth, or dries the lips, or brings moisture
to the eyes, or fiushes the cheek with blood,
Or makes the hair stand up "like quilts upon
the fretful porcupine.''
An idea can turn the stomach water the
mouth, twitch the fingers, set the heart
pounding, shorten the breath, paraIyze the
tongue.
You can kill bodies, imprison and torture
them. Ideas you cannot master, no walls
can confine nor letters bind them; they
laugh at the prohibitions of law and mock
authority.
They are of two kinds, the true and the
false. The true live forever, storms can
not uproot them, neither is any ak made
that can cut them down. They grow on un-
til the Golden Age.
The false are decdous, they live their
little day and fall, and their evil fruit with
them, and decay, and manure the roots of
truth.
Ard yet I heard one say the other day:
Il cannot accomplish anything. I am a
failure For I have nothing but IDEAS
Nothing but ideas! 1t is as if one should
say he has nothing in his hand but the sun,
and nothing in his mind but the will of AL
mighty God!

american Relief in Europe.

Some idea Of the widely beneicent work
now being done through the American Relief
Administration in Europe may be gathered
from Mr.. Hoover's latest report on the kind
and quantity of supplies dispensed. Thus far,
it appears, a total Of more than one million
tons of food, clothing and other necessaries
have been shipped to the war-broken regions.
In CZecho-Slovakia, IugO-Slavia and Ruma-
MIA, the most destitute of the liberated lands,
food amounting in value to some fiftyfour
million dollars has been distributed. "Two
streams of food and supply ships" says the
report, care kept constantly moving from
America to Europe" At the time of this
accounting eighty of these vessels had arrived
at European ports outside of Belgium, and
forty others were the way.
Extensive as it appears. this program is no
more so than is needful to cover the vast
field Of wants presented Poland Finland,
the Baltic States, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-
Slavia. Rumania, and Christian and Jewish
Turkey all included in the American re-
lief mission. So far-reaching and altogether
difficult a labor in philanthropy was perhaps
never before undertaken. The peoples to be
helped not only number many, manv millions,
but also are of diverse language and race and
are widely scattered. Conditions, moreover,
so variable that all the relief ships upon
sailing from America arc instructed to re-
0Ort for defnitive orders at FalmOUth il til ev
are on the northern route, or at Gibraltar for
the southern route. because al the time Of the
sailing the officials cannot tell at what noint
in Europe the Cargoes will be needed most
urgently.

The Cost to Germany.

AS the light of realities which their autoc
racy so long kept hidden dawns cold and
bitter upon them, the German people are
learning the wars tragic cost. Berlin pa
pers recently published what was perhaps
the first dependable reckoning Of German
losses yet given out "ithin the Empire. The
figures are enough to make the maddest OF
the militarists think Two million and fifty
thousand dead, four million two hundred
and seven thousand wounded, and approx
mately seven hundred thousand missing or
captured-such is the prlC1 the Fatherland
has paid for the great adventure in ambition
and greed
If the total of the German armies from
the beginning to the end of the war be taken
as ten million men-an estimate which au-
thorities consider reasonable-it IS evident
that the fighting forces themselves werC al
most wiped out, for with casualties aggregat-
ing upwards of six million eight hundred
and seventy thousand the combatant strength
Of those left could not have been formi-
dable. Relatively to the opu1ation con-
cerned,' writes an observer of the New York
World, "such losses in war are wholly be-
yond precedent since the use Of firearms
began
And he adds that if in the War between
the States, the North and South together
had lost in dead such a proportion of the
country's population as Germany has, it
would have been double what it was, whilst
if losses in killed alone be considered the
death list of the American war would have
been four times what it
Kultur has cost dearly indeed. It has
cost the world intellectually. It has cost Ger
many the prestige of all her imp Iial labors,
the respect Of Christendom whose trust
and affection she might easily have won, the
substance, {. far-au1'g colonial empire, the
treasure Of forty years amassing, and the
lives of moe than two millicLs Of her sons.

Hold Your Liberty Bonds.

"A MOST timely and needful warning is
~ sounded by the Augusta. Chronicle
Ia against those adventurer7 who, living
by their wits Cor as Dickens would say, by
the lack of wits in Others) seek to inveigle
Liberty bond holders out of valuable Gov
eminent securities at a ridiculou" discount
or in exchange for utterly worthless paper.
Citing the estimate of financial Autl critics to
the effect that fully half a billion dollars
will thus be raked in by cunning claws, the
Chronicle says:
1.-The fact that Georgia, along with
many other States has 'blu9 sky law
will not prevent many from being
swindled The SC of laws are evaded
at times. The only safe thin9 for owl
ers of Liberty bonus and c. Other good
securities to do is to Investigate before
parting with them or anything else.
Any banker will take pleasure in giving
information regarding proposed ex-
changes or as to new projects, and gen
orally his opinion can be depended
upon. The Government itself has sought
to protect the public during the flush
war times by passing on capital stock s.
sues, but even when such issues Wer
allowed, there was lothins whatever in
the nature of guarantee or even in
dorsement. E. . There are those yet
able to sell something they haven't got,
and something the buyer doesn't Want'
and get away with it..
1t would be thousand pities if Geor-
gians who had the patriotism and good
Judgment to buy Liberty bonds, altogether
the safest and in some respects the most
profitable securities in the world, should be
duped and cozened out of their real treasure
by fakirs vending mere scraps of paper, or
should needlessly sell 4 bond, whose par val
ue is certain to be realized for SOL e absurd
fraction of it's worth. officers OF the law
should be sharply Oh watch TO: the swim
dlers, and the people themselves should be

THE AGE OF MAGIC

The most powerful machine in the world

If you want to see it, visit the Pittsburg
laboratories OF the governments bureau of

Without this stupendous engine, b-ildings
like the WOolWorth, that cathedral of COM
merce would be possible but dangerous. 1t

and concrete, to show how much overhead
weight they can stand before giving VIZ.
The cave man could exert only the power
stored up in his muscles. He could not even
move heavy boulder, for he knew nothing
of the principle of the crowbar Today lii
Pittsburg a slender workman throws on an
electric switch and thereby puts weight
of ten million pounds into motion.
Yet the powerful Olsen machine is SIM
ple-looks like an old-fashioned Il tier press
on a big scale Like all of mans inventions,
it is only an extension of his fingers. A pair
of scissors is an extension of two fingers
with long sharp nails The bricklayer's hod

I'VE OUGHT to have made it, He was
r. entitled to it, Americans wanted their
~ - own men frst but they were kind of
pulling for Harry Hawker, that gray-halred
Australian mechanician who had the cour-
age to attempt a desperate chance. The
Americans were buttressed by all the fac1ll-
ties at the disposal of their Navy: destroyers
stationed every hundred miles; red flares and
green flares; radiograms and flashlights; con-
centrated foods and flrst-aid kits; pontoons
attached to the bottom of their machines TO
keep them from sinking; three or four mo-
tors to drive every plane. Hawker waited
until they were off, until at least one was
halfway across. And then he cut loose on
his intrepid fight. No destrOyers to pick him
up. No flares or flashlights to guide his
course No radio to summon help. NO land
ing gear for alighting on earth, no pontoons
for alighting on sea. No triple motor to keep
him going. Nothing but nerve; nothing but
wings: nothing but an engine and a tank full
of gas. Nothing but the stars to guide MIN
at night as he drove his way eastward across
the dark waters. Yet on and on he went, a
hundred miles, thousand miles perhaps, till
the sun came up and he looked for his goal
Probably he thought of his wife and children
as he strained his eyes to catch far glimpse
of Ireland's shore. And then the needle
showed him that his fuel was gone, that he
could not make it, that he must come down
to the surface of the sea, and swim little
while, and surrender at last to its icy en-
brace. He ought to have made it. He was
entitled to it. When glory goes to the one
whose feet first touch the sands, let all re-
member the well-named Australian, the
dauntless Hawk who drove on his nerve,
with nothing to guide him but the star
spangled vault above the dark waters.

OUIPS AND OUTDDITIES

A clergyman While passing through a
street in Edinburgh came upon rough look
ing and gigantic goldman who was persuad-
ing his horse to move along more expedi-
tiously. The horse had taken a stubborn fit,
and the goldman was very excited, and couch
ing his sentiments in language which was
simply appalling.
The clergyman was little man. but rash,
for he rebuked the goldman in a manner that
left nothing to be desired.
Il cannot understand" he said in winding
up his expostulation, what you mean by
using such narrowing expressions
The rebuke was lost upon the goldman
My wee man." he replied, at the same
time patting the clergyman on the shoulder
with very dirty hand, neither could I'M
derstand it-When I was your size'
There was no rejoinder, and the clergy
man passed on.
