Roush " as Formerly
Right Hand 'Thrower

Eddie Roush, who Cincinnah fans
expect VIII be an important factor in
the present world series game with his
heavy hitting, would not be playing
baseball today but for an inherent
love OF the game. which enabled him
to overcome a severe handicap some
years ago. When Roush first began
playing professional baseball he was
an nfielder and right-handed throw
cr. Now he Is an outheldcr, consid-
cred 70 he one Of the best in either
league. and throws with his left hand.
The change was brought about
through an accident in which Roushs
right arm was broken. Ii didn't heal
properly. and when this cast was taken
off Roush found that his arm was so
weak that it would be impossible for
hlm 70 ever whip the ball across the
diamond with his old speed First, he
decided to quit baseball, but found
that WAS easier said than done. With
he warm weather came the longing to
get hold Of bat and glove, but the
night arm had no strength Deter
mined not to be kept out of the game
Roush decided TO learn to throw with
his left hand. 1t took him a year. but
he stuck 10 II. Now he is considered
one OF the greatest throwing outfeld:

League base runners will testify.

Listen to the supporters Of the
White Sox and you'll begin to believe
the Reds have lot Of nerve in daring
to contend for big honors. You are
made to think they will be lucky to
score run. All Of which makes me
think they will score several.

very we'll for the Wildmen. When
these statisticians finish their work
next week they will have shown where
the Chicagoans are so much superior
to their rivals that Cincinnati hasn't
ghost of a chance.
Gives Reds Good Chance
That's all very we'll on paper, but
playing games on paper aud playing
them on the field are quite different.
believe the Reds have chance, an
excellent chance, and what is more /
look for them to come through and
land the honors.
My judgment for so thinking IS not
iased on figures. Statistics, to my
mind, are not worth fig in the base
bail world. They sometimes help one
TO gauge the ability Of player, but
they 1all 10 show the real worth of
any performcr-and they are very de-
ceiving in most cases in diamond
doings. | favor the Reds wholly from
! observations: FROM what | saw of their
play as compared to the Sox this
season.
The first trip tho Reds made through
this part Of the country they looked
no better than any other club in the
league, and not nearly rs we'll as the
Giants. When next they tramped
through this city they were an entirely
different ball club, 1t was as though
a miracle had been wrought The
minute the bell rang for the game
they were off.
They put the other team on the de-
fensve from the start. They rushed
the attack and once in motion shifted
their tactics like prizeighter shifts
when he has his opponent slipping
| They hunted, they sacrificed, they
played the nit and run, they ran bases
with their heads up at all times, they
stole bases when it came time to steal
in short, they neglected not one
opportunity to advance runners or to
make runs. And all the time their
defence was as strong and as steady as
the United States army. Small wonder,
thought. they are grabbing SO many
victories.
Pitchers Show Up Well
And their pitchers, How they had
| improved! Saltec, Ruether. Eller, ring
and LuGue all showed excellent form,
especially in their last tour Of this
section.
Now as to the White Sox. They are
4 smart, hustling ball club. The play
ers are on their toes every minute and
have plenty of punch. But the White
Sox looked no better to me in August
than they did last May. The White
Sox are not as fast on the bases as the
Reds, and this / believe to be as much
as 80 per cent of teams attack

Sir Wilfrid's Successor

The members of the Opposition in the
Canadian Parliament have chosen Mr..
D. D. Mackenzie as their leader to sue
ceed Sir Wilfrid Laurier His selection
as temporary leader for the session is
subject to ratification at a convention of
the Liberal party
Mr.. Mackenzie is the fourth leader
the Canadian Liberals have had. The
first was also a Mackenzie The second
was Edward Blake, who was succeeded
by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Like the present
Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden, Mr..
Mackenzie is from Nova Scotia, the
province that has furnished so many of
Canada's leaders. After long and useful
service in the House of Commons, which
has shown him to be a parlamentarian
with considerable experience and a ready
debater, Mr.. Mackenzie's work in this
session will be carefully watched. Upon
him more than any other person de-
pends the future of the Liberal party.
The leader of the Opposition in Cana
da is potential Prime Minister. He
may be called upon suddenly to succeed
the government of the day. When the
Liberals in 1887 chose Sir Wilfrid
Laurier as their leader, they virtually
chose a Prime Minister for Canada, sub
ject, of course, to the judgment Of the
people. Largely to their action it is due
that Sir Wilfrid was Premier from 1896
to 1911. The same was true when the
Conservatives chose Sir Robert Borden
1t is possible that the name Mackenzie
will again loom large in Canada as a
result of his selection as leader for "His

Memorial Art

Peace hath it's atrocities no less har
rowing in some respects than war. So
the American Federation of Arts offers
the country it's trained advice in the
matter of war memorials. The fedora
tion has appointed general committee,
with ex-Presdent Taft as honorary
chairman and many widely known ar
fists and sculptors as members, to con-
fer, on request, with any state, munici-
pality or organization which plans to
honor it's Soldier heroes.
"Too often it has happened" the fed
Grafton says, "that war monuments in
the past have taken the form of stone
or metal soldiers, with little or no varia-
tion in design and utterly devoid of
artistic feeling and expression-the prod
ucts Of the shop, not the studio" In
artistic symbolic groups and portrait
statues, such as mar New York's parks
and squares, are objects of particular
aversion to the federation. AS regards
symbolic groups, the federation says:
Success is not impossible; but talent of
a high order alone can achieve it."
The committee does not snatch away
without offering something in return.
The committee suggests that instead of
symbolic groups or portrait statues
there might be erected a flagstaff with
a memorial base; fountain, which Gin
European cities are attractive useful
and enduring features; bridge, (which
should be built to endure thousand
years.; building "devoted to high pur-
poses, educational or humanitarian; a
tablet, medal, stained glass windows or
the village green.
''The most impressive monument is
one which appeals to the imagination
alone, which rests not upon it's material
use but upon its idealism," the commit
tee points out. "The Arch of Triumph
in Paris. the Washington Monument and
the Lincoln Memorial are examples of
such monuments. The spirit
may be the same whether the monument
is large or SMALL little roadside shrine
or cross, a village fountain or me-
mortal tablet, speaks the same language
as the majestic arch or shaft or temple,
and both messages will be pure and fine
and perhaps equally farreaching, if the
form of that message is appealing and

Why Do the
Heather Laugh?
From "The London POST

1t is said that when President Wilson wss
invited to examine what the Germans had
really done to France he declined on the
ground that it might tempt him to hate the
enemy too much. lie is therefore returning
to America with his spiritual calm un-
ruffled, neither too much hating his enemies
nor too much loving his friends. 1t is no
doubt an admirable frame Of mind for the
President OF a country which is remote
from the German danger and for the leader
of party which includes a very large Ger
man vote. But it is perhaps little neon

proximity to an enemy still strong, still IN

it is embarrassing for France, which has
only land frontier between herself and
nation of twice her population and enOr-
mously her superior in the material founda-
tions of power. If we speak Of victory and
defeat in terms of reality and not in terms
of rhetoric can we honestly say that the
Allies are as yet victorious and the Ger
mans yet vanquished? The Germans, Of
course, are willing to say they are beaten
and it suits them very well for the Allies to
believe that they are victorious. But IN
less you are safe as the President Of the
United States it is wise to deal not in
rhetoric but in reality. And the reality Of
the situation is evidently disturbing our

The plain fact is that if Germany con

you are victorious but in imposing your

real power of nation lies in its industries
and in its population, and in both these re

the main fact of the situation. Germany
still hangs over France like volcano over

to maintain Germany in that position. LII
