On scheduled time he arrives at his office, a dull sickening lull set | ties upon his employes and there is an exodus of those who are not tied jby duty assignments. Mail opened, routine work transacted until hjs homing hour, when he folds his tent and quietly slips away. Overworked and peevish, he vents his spleen on I his office associates. The thought | never occurs to his mind, that the i business world would drift along Just j the same or perhaps better if his i desk was accorded a few days' test, j Never arrive at the point where you are tempted to exclaim, "My netves are all shot to pieces." Pack your | little grip, assemble your rods, an- j wrap and test your lines, replenish j missing hooks, flies and other acces sories. Bid those ieft in the oflce a cheerful goor-by. Cut out, even in ought, the sordid routine of | business. "Hie away," to the lakes and trout streams, where you can cuddle up in the lap of Dame Nat ire and be soothed to test by the whisp ering breeze, the swaying of the boughs, the gentle lap and break of the miniature ground swells, as they [ comb the pebble beach along the j shores.

Bireiner, eight up and seven to play. Z minerinan played a strong game throughout the match, making two forty-fives and a forty-one in the first three rounds of the match. Bofeton clinched the American League pennant by winning the first game of Saturday's double header from Philadelphia, 6 to 1, with Ruth holding the visitors to three hits. Watson, who was hit freely throughout the opener, pitched all of the second game, held Boston to one hit, and Philadelphia won, 1 to 0. , Ruth's all-a.cund playing, includ ing his terrific double to deep center field, which just missed entering the bleachers, featured the first game. Watson's pitching, some remark atle catcttes by Jamieson and Gard ner's hitting stood out in the second game. F. M. Troeh, of Vancouver.

Four world's automobile racing rec ords for a half-mile dirt tracks were brtken at the lowa State Fair, Dea Moines, lowa. Kd Illingboe drove a half mile in .31.50 which was 20-lUOths of a second faster than the former record. However his mark stood only a few minutes as John Haugdahl turned the lap in .31.40. Ray Lampkln set a new mark of 2.09.80 for two miles, but Illingboe immediately broke the record again with 2.08. The old record was 21.14.006. In this time he drove the first mile in 1.038, lowering the world's record. Arrangements have been completed by Chairman A. S. Black, of the sched ule committee of the Harrisburg Park Tennis Association, for a match on the Reservoir tennis courts, in this city, on Saturday of this week. The opponents of the local racket wleld ers will be a fast team of six men from the athletic association of the Altoona Pennsylvania railroaders. Just who will represent the Har risburg aggregation has not yet been decided, but a lineup will be an nounced shortly. Supreme golfing honors of the Wo men's Western Golf Association went to Miss Elaine Rosenthal, of Chicago, for the second time, when she defeat ed Miss Frances Hadfield, of Mil waukee, 4 and 3, in the final round at Indian Hill Club. The champion won the title in 1915. but was eliminated at the next two tournaments, although her prowess during that time won the North and South championship.

The Cubs cinched tho | National pennant last Sunday, 1 while the Red Sox did not make sure of their title until Saturaav. The teams will meet at Chicago Wednesday in the first gtfme of the World's Series. In the National League. Chi cago. after breaking even last Sunday with Brooklyn, divided a six-game series evenly with Cin cinnati. Tyler blinked the Iteds with five hits Thursday, while Mitchell, of Cincinnati, shut out the Cubs with four hits Friday. Tyler and Vaughn allowed Pitts burgh four hits and no runs to day. Toney and Perritt did remark able pitching for New York and assured the Giants of second place in the race. In the American League, Bos ton suffered two defeats in three games with Detroit, but took three out of four from Philadel phia. Cleveland was held even in four' games by Philadelphia, won a double-header from Detroit and beat Chicago Saturday. Yester day's victory over Chicago assur ed the Indians of second place, as it was announced that Cleveland would disband after - to-day's game.

Ca ® e y Stengel, former outfielder of the Brooklyn National and now con nected with the shipyards team is to-day looking for a small boy who got away with $5O belonging to the ballplayer, btengel was practicing at Prospect Park yesterday. He gave his money to the boy to hold for him. After the practice the boy could not be found. Stengel notified the police. Harry Hill, who gained fame as a basketball player In the Penn State League aeverrfl, years ago, has been wounded in France according to word received at his home, in Pittston, Pa He is a lieutenant in the United States Engineers. The Toronto Star attributes the suc cess of American troops fighting in France to their previous baseball training, in an editorial which reads: "Baseball being the national game of the United States, there never was any doubt about the Americans show ing plenty of dash and courage in war. Not only do the players show these qualities, but any country is all right that can produce umpires who will go right ahead in defiance of two infuriated nines and a raging multi tude." These arguments are followed by the more familiar arguments that fa miliarity with the devotion to sports fosters Initiative and ability to keep cool in unexpected situations. In the matter of devotion to sports the paper says there is little to choose between American and Cana dian soldiers. The return to the fol' of the "Old Master," Christy Mathewson, will be one of the features of the closing of baseball at the Cincinnati National League Park, to-day. There will be a doubleheader with St. Louis, air plane flights and plenty of patriotic speeches and music. All baseball fans remember "Lefty" Russell, who twirled for the Athletics several years ago, Connie Mack pay ing $ll,OOO for his release. ./ell, "Lefty" is hors de combat just now as a result of getting beaned by a German bullet while taking part in an American attack in Lorraine re cently. He was going over the top at the time. With his head copiously bandaged, "Lefty" is confined to one of the Red Cross hospitals in the Paris area.

If it is a stake horse against a selling plater the job is easy, but here we must figure selling platers on each side, trying to hold place with old stake horses and run as a team. The figures indicate that the Red Sox havo eighty-six points the better of the hitting ability, and eighty-six points* is a small margin. We find this offset to a degree by the fact that the Cubs have the better fielding team by fifty-eight points. , The margin is too small to indi cate any marked superiority for either team great enough to enable either to win on straight class. It figures that the Chicago team as team is better in that its strength is more equally divided and better scattered through the bat ting order. We discover, too, that Mitchell has much the better hit ting arrangement of his team, so that the Cubs are liable to score in any inning, whereas you may figure safely that the Red Sox, when they score, must do so with (he head of the batting order up. In other words ,the Boston club is "dead" three innings of each game because the attacking strength is badly broken when Agnew and Coffey are to bat, and the team is much less liable to maintain a rally than the Cubs. This doping is funny business. The fact is that the Red Sox ought to outfigure the Cubs by at least 250 points on a season, yet so well adapted is Mitchell's team to meet the situation now at hand that his team looks better. This is solely because of the left-handed batters, Ruth, Strunk Mclnnes and Hooper, while the right-handed batters are weak wallopers. This would not he so great a handicap under ordinary circum stances, but the fact that Mitchell has two great left-handed pitchers primed and ready makes the Red Sox seem to have less hitting power than it really possesses. The left-handed pitchers, of course, will argue that they hit lefthanded pitching. I never (have known a left-handed batter who did not think he could hit lefthanders, hut the truth is that, with a few exceptions, I have never seen a left handed batter whose average against left-handed pitching was as high as against' righthanders and, further, none of them (excepting Fred Clarke) ever hits against good left handers, and the reports from tne Chicago camp are that Vaughn and Tyler are good. The change from the North Side grounds in Chicago to the south hit Boston considerably. 1 was com pelled to add points to Hooper's de fensive value because of the larger grounds on which he will play and to deduct from Ruth's value as a but ter because of the same facts. All along I have been afraid that Ruth would upset the dope and the series j by punching three or four long flies ! over the short fence in Chicago. Not r that it makes a bit of difference, but one hates a series spoiled by nits which are at best iluky and games won by nigh flies that would bo caught on fields of average size. Whether Boston will be affected by the schedule which compels the Red Sox to play three games away from home or r.ot is doubtful. There are j times when superstitions of that kind i do affect ".he work of teams and it is certain that the Red Sox have not been a strong road team this year and have been well nigh invin cible on their own grounds. The Cubs are helped by getting away from tfceirown Held. Theynever liked the grounds and last year had an idea thaj. they could not win on the North Side park. They will play all their games oft their home field, which, while it appears unfair, does not hurt, even if it fails to help them. After the teams move to Boston the Red Sox will have the advantage in every way and the Cubs will be handicanned somewlgit. It wouTrl be a fairer arrangement to play on Bmves field, so that each team would be oft its own field, but even so the advantage of the field is more imaginary than real. It would be well for the umpires to look over the Red Sox park care fully. especially to examine the pitch er's club before the series starts and thus avoid argument. Now that we have studied the position values of each team and! have rated them as to figures, the real task of doping comes. We know now Just what each man is worth to his club in his position and against the pitching he must face. The job now is to apply those values to actual play and figure what each man ought to do in each game. There are these who doubt whether this will work out. N I have tried it a dozen times this season, calculating on a certoln pitcher working against a certain team. Then I have taken each man us the bailing order came and tried to figure what he ought to do against that pitcher, merely to test out the theory of dope. It has worked out so wonderfully well that I have been able, in almost every test ease In which I knew the pitcher and the batters, to come to the actual num ber of hits made, to pick the bat ters who would make them and, in numerous cases, to pick the exact innings in which scores would bo reg istered. That is what I am going to at tempt in this series, and to-morrow when I get through figuring, I'll tell you just what the runs and hits will be in each game. But here is a warning: this series will he decided by errors rather than by hits. (Copyright, 1918, by the Bell Syn dicate, Inc.)
