CicOtte Loses

Reds Win, 2 %
Cranlland Rice Says Gin.
cinnati Pitching Is Chok-
ing Chicago to Death;
Gleason's Hopes Fading
By Grantland Rice

CHICAGO. Ill.,. Oct. 1.-The groan
OF the South Side fan is mingling to-
day with the shrek of the slaughtered
COW and the soueal of the vivsected
pig just across the way in vast med
ley of Woe
The dismal chorus. a yeritabl
threnody Of doom. is rising to the high
heavens. but out of it all there is still
tie ringing echo of an immortal re-
train. which Hughey kcough sang in
behalf of the old White Sox back in
another age. And the refrain again is
simply this: "The hell of it is they
amt hitting"
Herein you have the complete story
of three Red triumphs out of four
starts, for Jimmy Ring resumed again
to-day whore Ruether and Sallce left
off, beating Eddie Cicottc by the score
of 2 to with a pitching exhibition
that rivallcd Dick kcrr's sensational
work of the day before.
Slowly but surely Red pitching is
choking the Sox to death. The slash
ing club that ran up batting average
of .2o3 against American League
pitchers has been stopped as cold as a
frozen oyster. They can't hit lick.
They take their big war clubs up to
the plate and spend the rest of the
afternoon swinging like collection of
old gates at the crafty, cunning pitch
ing that comes hurting their way from
wiry Red arms.
One Earned Run in Four Games
The club that batted close to 200
for an entire season in the American
League has earned exactly one run
IN four full ball Games. and that lone
tally resulted from a 1uky triple aud a
fuky single linked together for a
huky count
One earned run in thirty-six innings
one good honest tally that wasn't a
git through four long afternoons of
valnlcss swinging at a battling ball.
There YOU have the story Of the ris
ing Rcd tide and the resounding
groans of the loyal South Side fan.
One OF the greatest slugginC machines
of all history has been halted and
collarcd by pitching that was not to be
denied.
'lughcy Keough many years ago sang
the storytelling chorus: "The hell of
it is they amt hitting" and when this
happens to ball club that has de-
pended mainly upon its mighty power
with the mace, grand old Gehcnna be
comes summer resort in comparison.
Cicotte and Ring fought out a brill
liant duel in the fourth canto of the
big championship, but where Ring
maintained his compelling mastery all
the way through. Cicotte blew his own

EXPLAIN SALE OF RED CROSS
 MERCHANDISE

PARIS.-Because many inaccu- rate reports of large sales of Am
 erican Red Cross merchandise have appeared in the past few weeks,
 Red Cross headquarters in Paris has issued a statement explaining that the only materials which have been lsold are certain perishables. second hand equipment, surplus stocks, and articles which can no longer be used i for direct relief work, either in France or in Eastern Europe. The total sales of surplus and secondhand material by the Ameri- can Red Cross in Europe will az gregate not more than thirty mill ion francs, says the Red Cross, while the value of the relief ma terial distributed in Europe during July and August alone will amount Ito more than one hundred million francs.
 The American Red Cross is now conducting operations in IT Europe an countries. The relief material distributed in France, mainly in the devastated districts, since the ar mistice, is valued at over one hun dred and twenty-five million francs, while in the same period other European countries have received more than two hundred million francs worth of similar supplies. including not only medical and sur gical material, but also clothing, food, barracks, etc.
 Such sales as have been author ized in France have been conducted through the American Red Cross Liquidation Board. The official statement says regarding this ma terial:
 "Unexpectedly heavy expenses of work in Poland and the Balkan states. and the beginning of new relief activities in Wastern and Southern Russia made it advisable to turn these stocks into cash to assist the relief programs, as well as to save certain of the accumu- lated stocks from total loss.
 "Of all the relief material in the American Red Cross warehouses on May 1. one-third was set aside for distribution in the devastated dis tricts of France. The distribution of this material is still continuing, and will continue for months to come, while the shipments of relief material to the commissions in East ern Europe are on a constantly in creasing scale and will continue thus

FOUNDATIONS.

In sentencing Townley and Gil bert. of the Non-Partisan league Judge Dean, of Jackson, Minn., took occasion to enunciate moral xxi om, which Non-Partisan leaguers and others of like character may ponder over to their profit. Said the judge:
 Any organization built on false hood will not long endure"
 Whoever has any doubt as to the truth of this statement, says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, needs but recall from his own experiences the organizations that have risen, four ished, decayed and disappeared. Po- litical parties founded on falsehood have sprung up overnight. The un- thinking and the dishonest, the ad- venturers and those bitten by dis content have supported them with enthusiasm. Their memberships grew, funds accumulated and sue cess seemed within their grasp. But where are they today? Where are the enthusiastic members who once so loudly shouted and cheered' Where are the plans that were just about to triumph? Where are the leaders whose names were on every body's tongue, who were watched with admiration or with fear? Gone, all gone, into the limbo of the things that are false; gone and for gotten. One must look in old news, paper files to learn of them, or catch stray paragraph in some memoir or autobiography.
 Things and actions are what they are, and the consequences of them will be what they will be-" There is, then, little use in man try ing to deceive himself; even less sense in man believing what he wants to believe. But from time immemorial man has allowed his wishes to distort facts, and the con- sequence has ever been the same. Townley and Gilbert will disappear from the scene in due time. Those of their followers who had blind faith in them will close that chap ter of their lives and refer to it only in the privacy of introspec- ton. Townley and Gilbert may leave some little residue, some spot to mark where they once stood, but if they do it will be because in all their falsity they had some little grain of truth.
 Townley is an adventurer who failed on rather grand agricultural scale before he went into politics. Gilbert played small part in so- cialistic way in his community. How irresistibly they remind us of Sock less" Jerry Simpson, Bill Peffer, Mary Ellen Lease, and H. L. Loucks. They, too, are gone and are remem- bered with smile.
 We have gone through this Town ley-Gilbert business before, not once but many times. And always the last effort was to be the successful one. Only somehow it wasn't. And we will probably have them in diff ferent guises and with different aims so long as the nation exists and men are unable to convince themselves that "any organization built on falsehood will not long endure"

dustries at Los Angeles. while
 manufacturing was shrinking at Sar . Francisco, presents an intensely in , teresting economic lesson of wha; must follow when costs of produc : ton mount at once place and ars held within bounds at another. Thirty years ago, points out the
 Spokane Spokesman Review, Sar
 Francisco had 1,7S4 manufacturing
 establishments, providing employ,
 ment for 32,555 wage-earners
 Twenty years later the number ot
 establishments had increased only 4S, and the number of wage-earn-
 CTS had decreased to 2s,244, loss of nearly 4,OO0.
 At Los Angeles, in exactly the same period, the number of manu- featuring establishments increased from 534 in 1899 to 1925 in 1909, and the number of wage-earnerS grew from 5,173 to 17,327.
 It is generally thought in Cali fornia that the census to be taken next year will show a still more re- markable loss at San Francisco and still greater growth at Los An geles.
 ! These changes, as was to be ex- pected, are reflected in the general growth of the two cities While San Francisco's population increased but 39 percent in the 20 years be- tween 1890 and 1910, the popula- ] ton of Los Angeles showed an ex- traordinary growth from 5O,395 to i319,19S-nearly $50 percent.
 In California the reason is very well understood. San Francisco passed under the sway of an intol- erant, unreasoning labor union lead ership. Manufacturers and other employers there faced an incessant demand for more wages, coupled with diminishing output, due in part i to the shortening of the labor day, but in larger part to a systematic policy on the part of the workers to loiter on the job, under the eco homie fallacy that they were pro- viding jobs for greater number : of workmen, when the census record shows that they were throwing near ily 4.000 wage-earners out of em- ployment, and all that notwithstand- ing the general growth in the Pacific 4 coast states.
 ] It will help us to catch the full import of this depressing loss at San Francisco and amazing gain at Los Angeles to bring home the illus tration to the cities of Washington. If, 20 years hence, Seattle, having followed its present course, on talk ing stock should find that it then had 4,000 fewer wage-earners than it has today; that its industries had been driven away to another city or cities; that its population had scarcely grown in 20 years, while that of Portland, Tacoma, Everett, .or Bellingham had grown nearly 500 percent-that record would be iden- tical with the experience that has come to San Francisco.
 The warning lesson applies, of course, to Spokane and other cities that are hoping for steady growth. If, from increasing production costs, lthey must ask for their manufac-
 lures higher prices than are asked by their competitors in other cities, Ieither east or west, their hope of

 Tn the meantime, the shipment of further relief material from the United States continues in a large way, and we have recently received notice from America of the early shipment of supplies valued at near ly forty million francs"
