 Come home and all will be forgiven. Need you badly"
 ''The Goose" read the message. He is very obliging and he is getting very impatient with the series. It is time for geese to be flying into winter quar- ters. So he responded with home run. In the fifth he drove in Harris. And he continued being of major assistance throughout the game.
 It was another bad game for palpitat- ing hearts. In the ninth, the Giants had great chance to tie the score. With the score "A and two men on bases, George Kelly comes to bat. He sometimes makes home runs. Some times he doesn't. Had he made one this time, he would have tied the score, but Mir. Marberry, who is no bargain when asked to pitch a game efore :45, but who gets awfully efficient late in the afternoon,i struck him out, and ended the contest.
 Pitchers were again in great demand. The Giants used four--Barnes, Bald win, Dean and Bentley, the latter as a pinch hitter. The Senators used two, Mogridge and Marberry. That hung up a world series record of 14 pitchers in less than 90 hours of baseball play ing.
 Harris, manager of the Senators, did great work in the field and great work in the head. It was expected he would call on Walter Johnson. But Harris took chance and refused to play his ace. He evidently Is a bridge player, and believes in leading through

GIANT DRICIBLE MOVES SWIFTLY ACROSS DIXIE Aerial Convoy To Form Early Morning
 Escort SCOUT TO HERALD
 SHIPS APPROACH Liner Makes Good Time Across Virginia And
 CarOlinas

The Shenandoah, most not ed of the nations air fleet, late Tuesday night was re- ported to be due over Bir- mingham early Wednesday morning.
 Forecast of the exact time of the ships arrival was de- clared to be largely dependent upon winds encountered dur ing the night. Associated Press dispatches, received late Tuesday, set the hour for 6 o'clock, while a wire from the navigation department at Washington to Maj. w. M. V. Robertson, IT,, commander at Roberts field, placed the time at 2 o'clock.
 Approach of the giant dirigible was to be heralded by a scout plane slated to take the air shortly after five o'clock. A white flag flown from the left wing of the plane and the firing of rockets was to proclaim the sighting of the ship. The dirigible was to ap- pear first to the northeast and move diagonally across the, city.
 Radio messages from the Shenandoah are expected to be received by scores of amateur radio experts who were to tune.in on the ship. A small outfit was also to be carried by one of the es- corting planes. sa,

Plans held Tuesday night called for the participation in this convoy of seven crack pilots from Roberts These were to be Major Robertson, Captains Asa N. Duncan and Sumter Smith and Lieu tenants James E. Kirkham, K. D. Bratston, E. W. Bullock and Phil Bush.
 Route Birmingham
 Certainty that the Daughter of the Stars" e name derived from the Indian term Shenandoah, would pass over Bir- mingham was reached Tuesday morning when officers in charge of the coast flight decided to take the foul weather route" which will carry the dirigible over Atlanta, Birmingham Columbus, Greenville, and Fort Worth. It will insure those who view the gleaming sill yer ship a sight never to be forgotten.
 The Shenandoah is declared to be more like a giant ocean liner than the usually accepted idea of air craft. Its 6S0 feet long and 78 feet wide, rival the Leviathan. It is pro- pelled by five large motors which move the ship so perfectly mechanically that but 0 slight touch of rythm is felt by the passengers and but little noise emanates from the ship. It has n cruising radius of 4,000 miles, making a mile on nine-tenths of a gallon of gasoline. The speed, depending to some extent upon the wind, may reach 70 miles an hour under the motors power.
 One of Three Ships
 Next to the ZR-3, recently completed for the United States in Germany, the is the largest dirigible afloat. It also was built in Germany as one of three under the separations agreement. The first of these ships, the Dixmude, came to Q tragic end when 1t exploded last year. A similar catas-

his run when called. Day after day, !,
year after year he shoveled coal as
the fireman or sat at the throttle Of

ing currents of water that threatened
to envelop the whole train. The road
was new and he took his life IN his

steed and set off on his trip. And
brave Tom Layden never fiinched. He
drove out into the darkness and his
only thot was for the thousands he
carried or the freight he pulled.
Never a calmer man laid hand on
the throttle of a locomotive than was
Tom Layden-never one brayer. He
seemed to bear charmed iife-or as
he said TO me once, he was, Just
lucky" He was in numerous wrecks,
but he came out of them, sometimes
slightly disfigured, once very badly in
jured, but he never quit his engine un-

he was thrown out. Others of the
engine crew may have lost their lives
at his side but he lived TO continue his
service.
Tom Layden has kept faith--faith
with himself, his family and hrs EN-

One of the most splendid things
about this long service he has given
is that it has been for one concern.
We hear so much these days about
men fitting to and fro, never staying
on their jobs longer than to get their

other job. But Tom did not do that
he remained on the one job for the

service very much better than to have
worked for dozen companies,
