been hammered out, Mails held the
Dodgers scoreless for seven innings
Today he added nine more. For l6
innings he has held his old mates
dangling at the end Of a wire, work
ing them like manikins made Of
wood. It's the old story Of the
cast-off returning to bite the hand
that refused to feed him. Baseball
is fairly Uttered with such ex-
amples, but few reVenges have been
more complete than Mails. II he
had slipped only a trfie today
Brooklyn would have tied the series
up with an even chance to win. But
he refused to break in the toughest
pitching assignment of the entire
series. He gave a gaUdy exhibition
of coolness and skill, and the Dod-
gers helped him out by refusing to
wait
BrookIyns defensive play was
sounder than Cleveland's, as the
Dodgers played errorless ball
against three misplays for the al
most champions. Sewell slipped
twice, and Gardner contributed an
other bobble. but all this failed to
bother Mails. Even after SeweIl
and Gardner had helped fill the
bases on errors in the second in
ming. Mails showed no disposition
to take on a nervous futter. He
merely kept on pitching air-tight
ball as if nothing of on untoward
nature had happened.
The sixth was the only inning
where Cleveland could bunch two
blows off Smith. but those two were
enough, as Burns double came near
landing in the left-field seats. IT
was a terrific smash beyond all
reach. Speaker himself could not
have brought it down. and that is
the ultimate answer in the case
By winning these three games at
home the Indians have the town in
a frenzy Of fanatical JOY. For the
first time in history the big banner
of the game is about to futter above

occasion no set of crooks has fig
ured in the outcome. Cleveland has
taken her big lead by far stronger

s'The Man of Destiny.

Carpenter, known by many as
The Man of Destiny" will hardly
put his destiny to any rigid test in
the Levinsky meeting.
But he may at least open up the
trail and clear out some of the de-
bris that now waits. between him
and Dempsey.
By dropping Levinsky within a
few rounds he will then be accepted
as the next challenger, and the
hub-bub and hullabaloo of a Demp-
sey-Carpentier battle will begin to
rumble back and forth across the
world. Perhaps, after all. it might
be just as well to let them go to it
as soon as possible-provided, of
course, that Levinsky doesn't upset

The Frenchman is the outstand
ing champion of Europe and-pos-
sibly Asia.
He is the best boxer and the best
fighter on the Eastern Continent.
There isn't any one else even

Mails Does the stsbbing.
There is not much left Of Cleve-

ordeal of the last three days, but
today they come reinforced with

Everybody knows it is the win

Against SheTrod Smiths great left
handed pitching, there is another
left handler pitching with even
greater effectiveness.
This is Walter Mails, nicknamed
"Duster."

pitcher maker Of his time, once put
in many weeks trying to make a big
league pitcher Of 'Duster" Mails. He
finally resigns the task as impossi-

League. There he develops that lat

which Robinson must have had a

Today Mails comes back to con-
found Robinson's judgment. He
holds the Brooklyn club to three
hits.
Baker, the Secretary of War and
a Cleveland man, sees the Cleveland
club win today. He remains long
after the departure of the excited
crowd.
Vanguard Choice Today.
Robinson may try tomorrow with
Marquard, the left-hander. 1t is his
only chance. Marquard is in trouble
with the local authorities. They
claim he tried to sell tickets to the
series at a greatly advanced price.
Marquard seems undisturbed. He
claims he is innocent. The case

Praises Letters In Column
Dear Cynthia--I really must write
and tell you how much I enjoyed read.
Ing the letters Of "Voyageur" and "Pe-
tite' which appeared in your column.
BY some trick Of fate we have
been able to see the old fashioned girl
and the old fashioned boy side by side.
II is shame there is such a scarcity
What a foolish little girl Petite"
IS; she has friend, a loyal, true blue
friend, who Is anxious for her welfare.
she has a priceless jewel, but she does
not seem to realize 1t. Petite" my
child, do not do anything that would
cause you to lose this very, very good
friend OF yours. Take heed Of "Voya-
geur's' letter and Cynthia's advice,
and do not get silly modern notions
INTO your head. ] have friend like
yours, and ! would not exchange him
for a dozen Of the other boys / know.
1 guess you think am some prudish old
maid, but I am Just young girl like
yourself, twenty .one years old, and
full OF the joy Of just being alive.
Referring to "Voyageur's" letter,
am very glad to see that one of the men
has backbone enough to speak his con =
victions. / absolutely agree with him in
all he says about the so called ''mod-
ern" young lady, and she is certainly
not the proper companion for the man
who is striving to be a success. She
will be drag and hindrance to him in
his work. However, the extremely
''old fashioned" girl would not make
the proper life companion, either. She
would not keep pace with her husband
in his march forward, and trouble would
be the inevitable result.
But, get girl like mother, Just
like the one that married dear old
dad" One who will put her shoulder
to the wheel and help her husband !;
one who is not above the "demeaning"
duties of housework; one who still be-
lieves in that merciful but just God.
A cheerful, laughing, optimistic, sensi-
BILE girl will sooner or later find her
self at the fireside of the sensible, am
bilious man, making happy plans for
the future.
Girls, girls, take heed of these let
ters; they are two Of the best that have
ever been published in Cynthia's col
umn, and there is a big lesson in each
one of them. The boys also want to
take notice. Pick your friends wisely
and well. be good pals and chums,
and don't forget the old adage: "a
friend in need is friend indeed"
