COMMODORE ORCUTT IN READINESS FOR
 THE FINAL GAME
Interest Is High as the World Series Draws to ClOse-Returns Are
 Called at E. A. C.

The critical time in the worlds series has arrived. The series stads four to three in favor of the Reds and only two more games to play. Can the White Sox win both of the two games and win the worlds championship. or will they weak en and drop one to Cincinnati? The loss of one of the two games would mean the loss of a championship to the Chicago club. Commodore Orcutt is snatching the returns off the wire each afternoon and passing them along to the frenzied fans who have no time to wait for later re- ports, but must know the worst or the best as soon as it occurs
 Commodore is known as one of the best callers in the city. He has had con- siderable experience in that line and has acquired style all his own. It is the next best thing to seeing the game itself when Commodore Orcutt calls a ball game or a prizefight

 Persistent reports at the college are to the effect that Scotchy Neill, star end and punter of the 1916 Panther ag- gregation, has announced his intention of joining the Panther squad, but so far the reports are groundless. If Neiu should come back the Panther team will be greatly strengthened, especially de- fensively. However, it is thought that the reports. of his returning to college are false.

JACKSON DELIVERS

Weaver sent a grounder to Kopf. who threw it to Rath for a force out of Eddie Collins. Rath claimed that the runner
 nterferred with his throw to first for a interference. J. Collins meanwhile reached third and scored on Jackson's hit
 In the fourth Schalk sandwiched a sin gle in between the outs, but never got farther than first In the fifth the Sox registered their final brace of tallies. Slinf Sallee in this round was driven from the box and the remaining two-thirds of the inning was pitched by Fisher.
 J. Collins started inauspiciously by fly ing out to right. Captain Collins again singled. Weaver rolled one to Groh, who let it get through his legs and Weaver reached first and Collins second. Groh's error and that which followed by Rath were costly. Jackson drove bounder to the Red second baseman. who made-a straight tumble of it, and the bases were filled. Tn this exciting crisis Felsch. who is frequently called upon to sacrifice, was ordered to hit. He singled to center and Eddie Collins and Weaver scored Gandil relieved the strain on the Reds by going out, Fisher to Daubert.
 Tn their half of this round Cincinnati contrived to get man to second for the first time, Kopf, the first man at the pidte, Lieu out eo 1aChSoA' 4Neai0 Sht- gled and walked to second when Wingo was given walk. Wingo became quite pedestrians during the contest, as he was given free passage three times, and he attained a batting average of 1000 by delivering a hit in the ninth. Con- fronted for the first time with men on first and second, Cicotte frightened. Rue ther made brief appearance as a pinch hitter for Fisher and foued out to Weaver. Rath shot grounder at Weaver and was thrown out at first.

WOMAN WINS PEACE


The greatest compensation of the
war, Marcosson said. was the settle
ment OF the sex question. After show
ing what woman had done in the
war, he said, never again will wo
man be called the weaker SEX"
Mention of the names of Foch and
Haig brought prolonged applause,
but the greatest applause came when
reverent tribute was paid to the
late Mr.. Roosevelt. Not every man
there applauded when Roose-
velt's name was mentioned.

seen to be strangely silent. Per

applauded with unfeigned and re-
sponsive sincerity. The applause
would die down and then 1t would
break out afresh.
Those three and Pershing were
the only names that evoked applause
Marcosson scored another burst OF
applause when he said:

great deal about being pro-German
and pro-Polish / think the time has
come ior little pro, United States"

The speaker lighted his grim pic
lures of the world tragedy with del

some funny stories about the negro

His entire speech led up to the
point that this country. apparently,
has failed to appreciate that Ger
