I league flag, the worlds series will
BRING together two former team mates
on the famous Orioles as the rival
managers for this years big baseball
classic.
Going back to Gleason's playing
days-he was always known as a two
ilsted ball player They used to say
| tnat Gleason would fight anybody at
the drop of the hat, and though he re-
! fuses to discuss his experiences as
1ighung player his reputation sticks
with him.
When Clarence Rowland was mana
ger of the Sox, with Gleason as cs,,--
he often remarked that Gleason was q
great fellow to have on a ball club
Why? Because. like Pat Moran, Glea-
son has the personality that is so nee
essary in keeping a ball club on its
toes
THE SILENT FORCE
Gleason put ginger into the Sox in
1917 when they won the American
league flag and then trimmed the
Giants in the worlds series. He was
the man behind the manager, and
though Rowland deserved great credit
for his efforts and accomplishments it
cannot be denied that without Gleason
to hold the players together Rowland
might have failed to win the pennant,
for it has developed since that there
we're factions on the SoX team.
Whenever a ball player gets into
rut whether it is poor pitching. poor
batting or inferior fielding that
troubles him, Gleason promptly pro-
ceeds to yank him out; and he has a
peculiar way of doing it. Gleason
doesn't bawl out a player in front of
his fellows except in, very rare in
stances.
Keeping every man on ball club
on his toes is no job for a lazy man.
1t takes tact and wits. But Gleason
keeps his club fighting from his
brightest star all the way down to the
bat boy. The Kid is great coach of
pitchers. His influence and coaching
can be seen in the way the Sox pitch
GERS have been going this season, after
falling down in 1918.
Gleason believes in playing today's
game today and forgetting about to-
morrow's game until the time rolls
around for playing it, He probably
makes an effort as many managers do,
to save up Cicotte or Faber for an i'm
portant series now and then. but if
there is a chance to win a ball game
by using every han on the club they
will be shot into the lineup Gleason
will fade" a rival club for all it can
show and take his chances on getting
the better of the breaks.

To Make Good Losses of War.


In his estimate of the total cost of the war as $260,O0O,OO00O 600,
including indirect losses, Edgar Crammond, the British financial
writer, far exceeds that of the United States war college, which was
s93OO0,O00000. Either way, the figures are staggering. Up to a
short time ago it had never been dreamed that by any conceivable
means in the power of man the destruction of the capital wealth of
the world could be accomplished on so vast a scale. Even today it is
not possible to realize, by any measure that the mind can grasp; the
wastage and ruin In the wake OF the great war. Never in all human
experience has there been anything approaching it.
Only by production in a degree that shall tax the resources of
the nations can they hope to replace what has been destroyed. For
a long period Of years the world, under the most favorable conditions,
will be kept busy, not laying up more wealth but checking further
shrinkage and making good what has been wiped out in four and a
half years Of war; There will be work for everybody in every part Of
the world in redeeming the terrible losses.
Never was there so great a need of a common understanding and
a common purpose in meeting the problems Of the future. The work
Of production is the only work Of restoration by which lasting results
are assured. But to recreate what has been destroyed since 1914 will
take many years of hard and painful labor, from which none can be
spared.
Anything that prevents any part of the world, any nation or peo-
pie, from settling down to the work Of production and doing its full
share is against the interests of the whole world. TO imagine that
other nations must thrive and prosper in proportion that Germany is
kept i'll a state of economic restitution, and that its recovery from
collapse must be delayed indefinitely for the gain of its present enc.
mics, is a dubious economic doctrine. For their own sake and the
good of other peoples, the 700 600 Germans must labor to the same
end Of the general restoration of the world. They must work not only
in order to live, but to help in making good the immense losses caused
by war and to pay for some Of the damage they have done. They are
needed as part of the world machinery of production, and without
their full assistance it will he crippled and other nations must suffer.
The whole world is under the same penalty Of engaging in the task of
production to the top of its powers, unless it is prepared to sink back
into mora. lethargy and despair of its ability to renew its strength by
the normal efforts of peaceful industry.

Fruits of World Suspicion.
From the Milwaukee Journal.

The reason why central Europe is becoming so easy a prey to
bolshevism is not the delay of the peace conference, but the general
is not going to be in accordance with the ideals generated by the
war.
The present German government is threatening to reject the
treaty of peace. A Germany delivered over to the bolshevists will,
It may be stated with certainty, reject the treaty. And II that hap
pens, what is there to df
The waging Of a new war upon bolshevism embracing Russia and
central Europe is unthinkable. There is nothing clearer, and t is a
pty that the allies did not find it OH, long ago, than that fghing boil.
shevism with arms is the best possible way to spread it.
The only way to escape the present disturbing situation is for
the pesce conference, without forgetting for a moment the justice
and necessity of restitution and repatriation, to bring forth a treaty
which shall be 50 obviously just, so obviously free from national self,
ishness and imperialistc designs, that its very PRONUNCIATION will
mark Q new epoch in the history Of the world. OF such a treaty the
FOR a league of nations should be all absolute essential.
Those on ns side Of the ocean who are elamoring for an emascu-
lated and MEANINGLESS league plan seem not to know that they are
handling explosives. The unrest in Europe may or may not be due in
some measure to the belief that America will not stand behind the
ideals Of President Wilson, but it is certain that the failure OF the
league plan would cause revolt in several countries.
Americans cannot consider the question OF the peace and the
IeaUue Of Nations with reference to themselves alone. They must
consider it with reference to all increasingly alarming and chaotic
world situation. ..
