greatest advantage from staff of
small bu. high class pitchers. But
after following them it was plain there
were individual faults in the club.
Practically every Sox batter had a
weakness, and the Rel pitchers were
good enough and had fine enough con-
troll to work on it.
believe this to be the biggest cause
of the Cincinnati victory.
Also, the Reds ou-ffelded and outhit
the Sox thruout and we're smarter on
the bases. Cincinnatfs seasons play
proved it to be a game one-inning
club, able to concentrate its attack and
to take advantage of every break. This
was very apparent during the series.
Before the series, Rousn was the
only Red player generally believed tc
be superior to the Chicago player in
his position. But in the series every
one of the Cincinnati regulars except
Groh outshone his opponent.

the Reds superior in playing ability

Pitchin.s is of primary importance
in a world series and in this depart

to be superior. Their batting on pa
per was inferior to that of the White
Sox. But while I don't say the pitch
ing in the National league is better
than in the American there are more
good pitchers in the National than in
the White Sox league. Jackson, Ed

just as difficult as did Roush. Groh

did not face it as often. and their av

is proven by the fact the Reds outhit

Red Cross Services Held
Preparatory to the Red Cross
Membership Roll Call which begins
today, a Red Cross service was held
at the Presbyterian church last night.
The Rev. Wayne.S. Snoddy, pastor Of
the church, gave a special address
taking as his subject, "The Call of
the Red Cross" .sHe showed how, the
york of the Red Cross was related to
the work of the church and how the
church had cooperated in the splend-
i'd work of the Red Cross durin1~4t the
past two years. He paid tribute to-
the men and women who had so
generously given their time and
strength to this great humanitarian
enterprise, following consciously or
unconsciously in the steps of the man
of Galilee.
4. ssThis spirit of service" he said,
rs our only safeguard against the
perils of the day. A year ago when
the armistice was signed, we cast
out the Devil of Imperialism. But
seven other devils have entered in.
Belshevism hangs like thunder
cloud over the nations. Civil strife
is threatening. Sullen unrest breaks
into sporadic violences. The old dis
pute between capital and labor re-
wives and wakes hot. Strikes para
lyze industry. Race riots turn our
streets into battle grounds. The cost
Of living scars. Revolution is sim
mering just under the surface. These
things are not good for the world.
They are not worthy of the dead who
died. What the world needs and
must have is program of service
and a program of love. This is the
program of the Gospel Of Christ.
The program of the Red Cross is one
phase 8 of its practical application.
The doctrine of the Nazarene is that
salvation for the individual and for
the world lies in unselfishness and
the will to serve. To follow Christ.
EANans to get his view point of life
a1date accept his law Of service.
4 ssThis great truth cannot be learned
in =, day. Humanity is yet in its |
swaddling clothes and must learn its
lesson by degrees It is not by any
sudden experience Of conversion that
society will learn the way of the
cross. But individuals will learn it i

der
One rather nice story reached
Washington just about as they left.
Of human kindness to a Washington
boy lying wounded in a French hos
pital 1t was Lieut.. Theodore Cogs-
well, whose home here happens 10
be quite near Mrs. Wilson's home
on Nineteenth street. 1t happened
that when the President and Mrs.
Wilson visited the hospital, they
happened to be separated. AS the
President entered the ward where
young Cogswell was lying and pass
ed among the men, he asked where
each one came from. Learning that
the young officer was from Wash
ington, and from just what part OF
Washington, he excused himself and
went after Mrs. Wilson, whom he
brought to the wounded mans bed
side and introduced to the patient as
a former neighbor of hers. The First
Lady had quite a chat with her
neighbor. and on her return ito the
Murat palace gathered up a sheaf OF
Washington papers and sent them
over for the entertainment of the
sick Yank.
