THE BOOK OF CHICAGO. BY Robert
Shackleton. Philadelphia: Penn Pub
fishing Company.
This is Chicago" says Mr.. Shackle-
ton at the beginning of this frank and
friendly book about the great town
which many people think the most dis
tinctively American city we possess.
The city looks out upon Lake Michi-
gan from a stretch of unbroken fiat
ness. Her morning face shines bright
ly in the sun. This is Chicago! An
audacious city that audaciously set
herself in a swamp; but the swamp
long ago was obliterated and only the
audacity remains. A city of dreams,
with the practical ability to make the
dreams come true. A city of energy
and strength; of immensity Of
strength
The seal of the city notes the fact
that ii was incorporated in 1887; the
first white child was born there in
1904 within a century and quarter
vast results have come, from those
relatively recent beginnings The first
Sunday liquor law came in force in
1884, and the first steam fire engine
was put into use in 1857. in the

who proceeded to work II overtime by
turning 1t upon an undesirable neigh
borhood and literally washing it away
THE first water main was laid in
1836-two miles of wooden pipes-but
it was not till twenty years later that
the first sewers were laid. And place
these two facts together [says Mr..
Shackleton] because I have just read
the claim that at present the combined
water and sewer mains Of the city are
longer than the combined length Of the
Mississippi. the Ohio and the Missouri"
This is as good an example as any
other of a peculiarly Chicago habit,
that of making such arbitrary compu-
tations as the comparison of the ag-
gregate length of two sorts of piping
i'm the place with the combined length
of three rivers. What of it? one might
ask. Why "a Chicagoan might reply,
in all sweetness and simplicity, it's
about Chicago and it's interesting. ITO
the Chicagoan," Mr.. Shackleton tells
US, Chicago is the most important sub
ject In the world so why should he or
she not speak of it frankly and un-
abashed? That Chicago novelist un-
derstood this who described a young
woman as a true daughter of Chicago,
she had rather talk to stranger about
her own town than about any other
subject Yet it is "a city with much
of charm, Of dignity, of beauty; very
human city. :. A city all alive,
vividly alive" And it appears that
through all it's period of growth and
disaster and recuperation and strong
establishment it's people have lived and
worked in the spirit of La Sale, who
prayed Lord, we do not ask Thee for
the desirable things of life, but merely
to tell us where they are and we will
go and get them"
Clearly, Mr.. Shackleton has not had
to spend so much time in delving in the
history and early days of Chicago as he
spent In studying early New York. or
Philadelphia. or Boston. But his re-
searches show that almost as many

Frontiers S Change

THE FRONTIER IN AMERICAN HIS
TORY. BY Frederick J. Turner. Henry
Holt & Co.
Thirteen magazine articles by Fred
erick J. Turner, professor of history
in Harvard University, that have ap-
peared in various magazines from
1898 to 1918 are gathered together in
volume entitled THE Frontier in
American History" These essays are,
as Prof. Turner says In his preface,
commentaries in different periods on
the central theme of the influence of
the frontier in American history" The
text OF his first essay he found in a
bulletin of the Superintendent of the
Census for 1890 In the words: up to
and including 1880 the country had a
frontier of settlement, but at present
the unsettled area has been so broken
into by isolated bodies Of settlement
that there can hardly be said to be a
frontier line. In the discussion of its
extent, its westward movement, &C. Il
cannot, therefore. any longer have a
place in the census reports" Since
this officially marked the passing of
the frontier, Prof. Turner found iusti-
flcation for telling of the frontiers of
the past beginning with that of Massa-
chusetts Bay; that of THE Old West"
which was the Atlantic coast. and
the successive steps of that advancing
line down the Ohio Valley. the Missis-
sippi, and of the Far West, whose
frontier was officially terminated by
1890. In addition to the interest and

GIANTS TAKE FOURTH
ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK, Oct. 9-More than
$4,000 fans saw McGraw's Giants win
their second game in the world series
today, and bring the series back to
an even basis of two games won for
each team. These same $4,000 saw
Babe Ruth, with his arm below the
elbow swathed in bandages, hit his
first home run for the series, which
came in the ninth inning, with no
men on, and failed to save the Yam
kess from defeat at the hands of the
National league club
For seven innings it was a pitchers
battle between Mays and Douglas,
then the Giants broke through Mays
guard and scored three runs by a
pretty exhibition Of consecutive hit
ting. They annexed another in the
ninth. The Yankees were able to
hit Douglas in consecution only in
the fifth inning when they scored
once Ruth accounted for the other
tally with his ninth inning dinner in
to the right field bleachers.
The fans shivered and SHOOK as n
result of the chilly winds that swept
the Polo Grounds, and as the players
took the field the rain commenced a
sprinkling.
Frisch was left hitless yesterday,
and neither pitcher passed a man on
balls to first. Ruth's contribution, be
sides his homer, was pair of singles
and a run scored, in addition to two
high ones caught in left field.
Douglas was the stronger in the
matter of strikeouts, retiring eight
men by the three ball route. There
were no stolen bases, no men hit by
pitched balls, no passed balls and nc
wild pitches.

YANKEES TAKE FIFTH
ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK, Oct. 11-This after
noon the Yankees, though outbatted
by McGraw's Giants broke the tie
and took the fifth game of the
Worlds Championship series.
Though a bunt does not hold a
candle to homer from the spectacu-
lar aspect of the fans, it was a bunt
that was responsible for the Yankees
winning run in today's game In the
fourth Babe Ruth came to the bat,
the Giants laid back for hard drive
and the Infant laid down a dinky lit
tie bunt. 1t caught the Giant infield
off their feet and by the time they
had recovered, Babe was on first. A
few moments afterward he came
home en- R. Meusel's hot double
which his brother Emil seemed a bit
slow in handling. Meusel on Wards
sacrifice fly. This ended the scoring.
Hoyt. the Yankees "boy wonder"
pitched his team to victory aided by
superb defense, especially in the
pinches. An error by McNally in the
first paved the way to the Giants
only run. Then Hoyt settled down
and pitched heady ball although
touched up for ten safeties.
Meusel starred both in hitting and
fielding, lining out a double and a
single in four times at bat.
Thirty five thousand fans saw Babe
Ruth fan thrice in four times up,
making eight strikeouts for the BAN
bino in five games. Every time he
swung the bat his face expressed
pain and besides this his leg is pain
ing him.
