Wise baseball managers pay almost
no attention whatever TO hgUres. For

up from the bushes to hit .240 in the

What Nelly said.
Harry Nelly. who is official scorer
for the games to be played in Chicago
in this series, told us a few weeks
ago while here with the White soL
that the Giants would be soft for the
sox, but the Reds are different"
III the Giants win," said Nelly, "the
SoT should be winners Of the big
series. But IL the Reds win. that'll
be different. The Reds are a funny
club. They may do nothing today
and come back tomorrow with q rec
ord game They may make no runs
or a million. Once they get going,
it's almost impossible to stop them"
we pass up all the bunk being cred
tied TO Pat Moran and Billy Gleason.
Neither can write 100 words about
anvtbinE. Neither sees a thing he
writes" unless he reads IL in the
papers. And neither does, very likely.
we pass UP what American League
managers and players say knowing
they'll pick their own league, anyway.
For the same reason>we pass up what
just pure bunk.
N
we're acting, more or less on a
straight bunch that the Reds viii win
this championship. We base our
on the 1914 series and the
victory Of the Reds In the National
League this season.
Ever play on q team not accorded q
Ieok-in? Ever experience that glor-
ious thrill that comes with uneIpects
Cd victory? II you haven't, you can
little appreciate what It was that
carried the Braves from the bottom "a
July 70 the pinnacle Of the baseball
world IN October, 1914.
II has been much the same with the
Reds Of 1919. The Giants had the
class in April. Then the Reds began
to win. True, they were cast-ofta.
They knew the baseball writers wrote
this every day. And 30 they chortlod
as they hung up victory after victory.
It was this glorious spirit Of the un-
derrod arising In his might that gave
them two double-headeF victories IN
New York and unless we're much mis-
taken, Il win be this same spirit that
will carry them to the worlds title.
The dope? We've seen Cicotte and

'I'll git some blankets an make
a bed for her, good 'nough for any
body, out in the hired mans room
over the she'd" said my uncle.
He brought the lantern--a little
tower of perforated tin-aad put a
lighted candle inside of it. Then he
beckoned to the stranger, who fol-
lowed him out Of the front door with
the plate Of food in her hands.
"Well 1 declare! It's long time

said Aunt Deel, yawning as she re-
sumed her chair.

"Why?"
'T-Tm afraid she'll do somethin'
to him."
Nonsense or Kate is just as harm
less as a kitten. You take your cam
die and go right up to bed-this min
ute-ayes"
went upstairs with the candle
and undressed very slowly and
thoughtfully while I listened for the
footsteps Of my uncle. I did not get
into bed until I heard him come in
and blow out his lantern and start
up the stairway. AS he undressed
he told me how for many years the
strange woman had been rowing in
the roads cup, hill and down dale,
thousands an thousands O miles"
and never reaching the end of her
journey. .....
In q moment we heard low wall
above the sounds of the breeze that
shook the leaves of the old "popple"
tree above our roof.
"What's that?" whispered.

A few days later the note came
due and its owner insisted upon full
payment. There was such clamor for
money those days! l remember that
my aunt had sixty dollars which she
had saved, little by little, by selling
eggs and chickens. She had planned
to use it to buy tombstone for her
mother and father-a long cherished
ambition. Ny uncle needed the most
of it to help pay the note. We drove
to Potsdam on that sad errand and
what time we had getting there
and back in deep mud and sand and
jolting over corduroys!
Bart" my uncle said the next
evening, as l took down the book to
read, 81 guess we'd better talk
things over little tonight. These
are hard times. If we can find any,
body with money enough to buy 'em
I dunno but we better sell the
sheep"
'H you hadn't been fool" my
aunt exclaimed with a look of great
distress-"ayes! if you hadn't been
a fool"
"I'm just what I be, an I amt so
big a fool that 1 need to be reminded
of it," said my uncle.
"Tll stay home an work." I pro-
posed bravely.
"You amt old enough for that"
sighed Aunt Deel.

Uncle Peabody, who sat making a
splint broom.

THEIR GREAT MOMENT GONE
Writer Has Little Expectation Of Gre
alive Ability Being Displayed by
Returned Soldiers.

The spiritual point is this, writes
John Galsworthy In Scribner's. In
front of q man In ordinary civilized ex.
istence there hovers ever that moment
In the future when he expects to prove
himself more of a man than he has yet
proved himself. For these soldiers Of
the great carnage the moment Of pro-
baton is already In the past. They
have proved themselves as they will
never have the chance to do again, and
secretly they know 1t. One talks of
their powers of heroism and sacrifice
being wanted just as much in time OF
peace, but that cannot really be so,
because peace times do not demand
mems lives-which Is the ultimate test
with every minute that passes. No.
the great moment of their existence
lies behind them, young though SO
many of them are. This makes them
at orce greater than us, yet In q way
smaller, because they have lost the
power and hope of expansion. They
have lived their masterpiece already.
Human nature Ia elastic and hope
springs eternal, but a climax Of ex-
periencs and sensation cannot be re-
peated; I think these have reached
an passed the uttermost climax, and
In Europe they number millions.
This is a veritable portent, and I am
glad that In America you will not have
1t to any great extent.
Now how does this affect the future7
Roughly speaking 1t must, I think,
have a diminishing effect IN what i
may call loosely-creative ability.
People have often said to me: 1--WE
shall, have great writings and paintings
from these young men when they come
back" We shall certainly have
poignant expression Of their expert
ences and sufferings, and the best
books and paintings of the war itself
are probably yet to come. But, taking
the long view, I do not believe we
shall have from them, IN the end, as
much creative art and literature as we
should have had If they had not been
through the war.
