The whiA we bless the Giver
For all His Sbounties free.
He hears our call, alike on all
The blessings Of Thanksgiving fall
We've garnered for our need-timo
The fields of golden grain,
For well we know that seed-time
Will come to earth again:
Each thankful heart remembers
The harvests that have sped,
And in the cool Novembers
Is bowed the grateful head:
And hymn and prayer meet on tho aiRs
And gratitude is everywhere.
o day renowned in storyI
o Pilgrim-given morn,
In humbleness and glory
In bleak New England born:
We hail thee with devotion
Beneath the roof and tree;
From ocean unto ocean
Beloved by all the free:
The hymns that rise toward the skies
Are rich In holy symphonies.
within the sacred chancels,
Beyond the lowliest door.
Thanksgiving's sweet evangels
Are sung by rich and poor:
In gladness and not sorrow
May all together pray,
So that our lands Tomorrow
May echo Gods To-day,
And blessings greet all hearts that meet
Where float the anthems pure and sweet

the train leaves the station. While it
is blowing along at mile a minute,
the bandit chops a hole through the
floor OF the express car and before the

guards In charge of the gold shipment

this scene meant the taking of con-

James Harle Johnston. third baseman,
was born al Cleveland. Tenn, on Deem
Der 10. 1889. and is a brother Of DOC"
Johnston OF the Indians. He first played
with the Kewanee club of the Central
Association In 1908 and was drafted by
the Portland club Of the Pacific Coast
League In 1909. His first major league
engagement was with the White Sox IN
1911, but he was returned to the
Birmingham club of the Southern Asso-
citation on May rs of the same year. He
played with the San Francisco club or
the Pacific Coast League in 1913, and in
the following year was again with the
White Sox. He was n member OF the
Oakland club of the Pacific Coast.League
In 1915. and in the following year he
cast his lot with the new Federal
League. Under the peace pact with the
outlaw circuit his contract was assumed
by the Dodgers. He was originally an
outfielder. but he played regularly. at
third base this season. He throws and
bats right handed. is feet 10 inches
tall and weighs 160 pounds.

James c. Bagby, pitcher, was born in
Taliferro county, Ca, on October s,
1889. and began his career with the
Augusta CLUB of the South Atlantic
League In 1870. On June Of the same
year he was sold to the Hattiesburg
club OF the Cotton States League. In
1912 he Joined the Montgomery club Of
the Southern Association. and on Aug.
26 he was sold to the Cincinnati Reds
He was returned to the Montgomery
club. which later traded him to the New
Orleans club of the Southern League.
where he remained until the end OF the
1915 season. when he was purchased by
the Indians. He Is considered the lead
ing pitcher OF the American League. and
he Is the only twirler in either OF the
major circles who has won thirty VIC
tories this year. He throws and bats

heroes Or he may fall and take the
Indians vlh him. 1t Is very i'm
portant position and the responsibilities
seem to be too big to be thrown on the
shoulders of a youngster who just has
oeen graduated Into the majors.
The other factor has to do with phys
ical condition and a state of mind.
Brooklyn clinched the pennant nearly
week ago and since then has been re-
plenishing its store Of vitality and its
mental poise. Cleveland on the other
hand has been forced to keep at top
speed. with never letup from the first
day of the season until the present.
That Is something to be considered.
In the matter of managerial ability
there is no question that, at least for
worlds series purposes, Robinson stands
over Speaker. Iris typifies the style of
his club which makes power para
mount. Robinson typifies the old Oriole
game, which accommodates itself to
conditions and knows how to win a ball
game in more ways than one.
Dodgers Never Won Series.
It's bound to be a great series. and
an honest one. And II the Dodgers win
they will do something which Brooklyn
has not been able to accomplish in three
previous big series--in 1916 against the
Red Sox. In 1889 against the Giants, and
In 1890 against Louisville. The 1850
series ended in tie, at three games
ca CHI. with one draw.
Cleveland has been in three post sea-
son series-in 1892 1895 and 1896. In
1892 the season was divided into two
sections The Bostons won one half and
the Cleveland won the other. so they
met for the championship of the Ma
tional League. and Boston won.
In 1895 Cleveland finished second In
the National League and played Balti-
more. which had won the pennant for
the Temple Cup. Cleveland won by 4
to /. In 1896 Cleveland again finished
second to Baltimore and again they
played for the Temple Cup. This time
the Orioles won-f5nr straight. So
while Cleveland never, previous to this
eason. won n pennant In either the Ma
tional or American leagues, 1t did in
1895 win the worlds series-a strange
situation which was obviated with the
organization OF the modern world 8
series In 1903.

Marquard. who has fine change Of
them.
Marquard's Fifth Series.
Marquard already has been in four
worlds series--with the Giants in 1911,
1912 and 1913. and with the Dodgers in
1915. He has won two games and lost
four. In the 1916 series he was de-
feated by Dutch Leonard. Sherry Smith
has pitched only one worlds series game
that Of 1916-in which stupid base
running by himself beat him In four
teen inning battle by 2 to /. Smith has
been coming along in fine style after a
poor showing in midseason.
Jeff Pfeffer. who Is sure to start
against Cleveland. has been in only one
worlds series--the 1916 affair--and he
lost one game and finished another to n
victory, which he did not get officially.
The lone triumph ,halked UP for Brook
yn that year went to the credit Of Jack
Coombs, the greatest worlds series
pitcher In the history of the game.
Coombs pitched five big series games.
with the Athletics and Brooklyn, and
he won all five of them In his 1916
contest Coombs left In the seventh in
had hit him for a home run and Jack
felt 1t expedient to retire in favor of
Pfeffer. who held the one run advantage
to the finish. Carl Mays was the losing
hurler in that battle.
Brooklyn's pitchers look all right, but
we cannot say as much for the catching
department. Otto Miller has been doing
good work of late. but he has gone past
his prime and is not the kind of a
catcher Robinson would like to have In
the series. Elliott Is not even up to the
Miller standard. so the backstop depart
ment is way below par and certainly Is
outclassed by the Cleveland catching
corps.
The shortstop situation.
There are two factors which may
initiate against the Cleveland club. The
first ard most important is that ga
at shortstop which was created with
the death Of Chapman. Sewell, who
only a year ago was college player
down South. may rise to the occasion
and become one of those unexpected
