RUTH OR HENDRIX TO PITCH FOR SOX TODAY IN FOURTH GAME OF SERIES AT BOSTON CUBS AND SOX BATTLE THE FOURTH GAME AT BOSTON With Saturday's victory over the Cubs, Manager Barrow's Red Sox were decidedly favorites to-day, not • only at Boston, but all over the baseball world*. With a lead of two games to one. the Red Sox were confident of maintaining the club's prestige of wirtning every world's the? have been entered for. As they have been only a mediocre road team this year and have proved themselves almost invincible on their home grounds with anything at stake, thir confidence was shared by thousands of supporters. No gloom could be detected, how ever, in the air of the Cubs. They were full of the same fight and dash that enabled them to pull down the long lead of the J>few York Giants and romp home the winners in the National l.eague 'pennant stretch. The one run margin in Boston, the Red Sox victories was too small for the. Cubs to concede any superiority to their opponents. While Manage* Mitchell, of Chicago, intimated that Hendrix, his star righthander, might pitch the opening game here. Red Sox fol lowers would not be surprised to see him come back with "Lefty" George Tyler, who won his game 3 to 1, in Chicago, last Friday. Thus far Mitchell has used only his two great southpaws Vaughn and Tyler, not only because the Red Sox are sup posed to be weak against left handers, but also because "Babe" Ruth. Bos'on's mighty batsman, has made fewer of his big blows against portsiders than against right handers. Ruth who won the opening game in Chicago is favored by Manager Barrow to open the home series. If Hendrix is sent to the slab Ruth is almost sure to get into the game, either in the box or the outfield, for the big fellow would rather bat against a right-hander with a fast ball than eat. Saturday's battle was probably the most spectacular ever witnessed at a world's series. The Red Sox were in front with the score 2 to 1, when the Cubs came to bat for the last time in the ninth. The Cubs had been grad ually prying into the mysterious un derhand shoots of Carl Mays, and the big crowd was keyed up to a high pitcli of excitement in antici pation of a Chicago rally. There were two out, and Chicago's chance had almost faded when Charley Pick came to the bat. -Pick slammed a single between first and second, and the South Side echoed with the yells which shot up out of the stands.

WOMAN CHAMPION WINS Detroit, Micll., Sept. 9—Mrs. Claire Galligan Finney, of the New York Women's Swimming Association, won the National A. A. U. long distance swimming championship for women here on Saturday, finishing flf een yards ahead of Miss Dorothy Burns, of San Francisco. Miss Grace Stew art, of St. Louis, was third. The winner's time for the distance, ap - proximately two and one-half miles, was one hour. 21 minutes and 2 1-5 seconds, a heavy squall that, came up shortly after the race began makirg headway difflciilt. The Central A. A. U. one-riile swim for men was won by W. E. Wallen, of the Great Lakes Na ,r al Training Station, in 16.50 4-5. H. H. Laubis. Great Lakes, was second and John Bennett, also of Great Lakes, third. Wallen's time of 16.50 4-5 was made swimming with the current and officials announced that it would be Recognized as a record. MONDAY EVENING, Barber was rushed in by Manager Mitchell as a pinch hitter for Charley Deal. As May's arm wound up for his freak delivery. Pick started for second. Wallle Schang hurled the ball down, and the Chicago runner made a .mighty leap into the bag. Umpire Hank O'Day standing over the cloud of dust, yelled "Safe." and once again the noisy crowd broke loose. The next ball that Mays pitched twisted out of Schang's hands and rolled behind the catcher. Pick started for third on a gallop. Schang retrieved the ball and heaved it down to Jackie Thomas. Ball and runner arrived at about the same time, and in the melee at the cush ion the ball trickled from Thomas' hands and rolled away toward the Chicago bench. Pick was on his feet in a jiffy, and Manager Mitchell was imploring him to set sail for home. This Pick did, and as he came tear ing down the third base line with the tieing run within his grasp every spectator in the pTrk was on his or her toes, screaming like the Old Ned. On every lip was an entreaty for Pick to shake his feet a little bit faster. "Come on, Charley; run, you son of a gun. run." With the crowd bordering dan gerously on the edge of hysteria. Jackie Thomas and the ball were forgotten. But Thomas held a level head in those few (wild moments. He jumped over toward the Cub bench and snatched up the ball. Pick was now almost at the plate, and as Thomas raised his arm to throw to Schang he knew, and knew it well, that perhaps the fortunes of the whole Boston team depended on that all-important throw. Straight and true, as swift as a bullet the ball went from Thomas' hand into the waiting mitt of Schang at the plate. As Pick came tumb ling into the final bag stretching his left foot far out so as'to hook the corner of the rubbei' platter, the ball clapped against the catcher's glove, and Schang tagged the runner with the ball. "You're out," replied Umpire. Klem. and right then and there the Cubs' chances in that game were gone forever. As the disappointed Chi cago fans turned their backs to the field and hustled toward the exits, Thomas and his wonderful throw were not forgotten. Hundreds of jackies from the Great Lakes Naval Station lingered long enough to give Thomas the cheers he deserved for wiping out the cost of his own error by his quick cool action. : Tennis Stars Beat Altoona Boys at Reservoir Park Reservoir Park on Saturday was the scene of sweeping tennis vic tory over a team made up of Al toona Y.

A re served seat sale during last week "CAGE BALL" IS LATEST GAME Developed by Army Men at Great Lakes Training Sta tion Makes a Big Hit Washington, Sept. 9.—Cage ball, the latest addition to the long list of training camp sports conducted by the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, bids fair to become one of the most pop ular athletic diversions among the soldiers and sailors. Cage ball com bines the play value of several games. It has the rush and drive of football, the exciting moments of basketball, and the rough hustle and tussle of tne class rush. The game can be played by a dozen, a hundred or a thousand men; there is no limit to the num ber of players. Thus the weak and undeveloped may have the same ex perience, pleasure and profit that is given to the skilled athlete who plays on a team whose players are W0 STARS WHO WILL TWINKLE IN FRANCE " 1 • IT ■ A AAF"" BENNY KAUFF RUBE MARQUARTT Benny Kauff the irrepressible out fielder of the New York Giants, for whom, a large sum of money was paid by that club, is here shown in his army uniform with Rube Marquard. of the Broqoklyn team.

And the aggressive fighting spirit, so invaluable on the battle field, is stimulated. According to Lieutenant Emmet Dunn Angell. U. S. N. R„ who de veloped the game and introduced it at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, 111., the rules of the game are simple and the equipment is inexpensive. The ball is from twenty-four fo thirty inches in diameter, inflated and canvas covered The goals are two net cages, twenty to forty feet in length, four feet wide and eighteen inches deep, made of rope and stretched between crossarm and uprights thirty to fifty feet apart. The teams endeavor to get the ball into the opponents' sage. The ball may be batted, punched or thrown, but must not be kic_ked. Ac cording to Lieutenant Angell, it is an inspiring sight to witness several hundred men surging in a body across a field, each person doing his utmost to punch the ball toward the enemy goal cage.

"When I said that the Red Sox were deter - mined to return to Boston with a two to one edge fn the series, I was not boasting," said Manager Barrow, of the Boston Club, last night. "We are in the lead and intend to remain there. I believe we have the better club. I am not ready to say who shall pitch to-day, but it is not unlikely that Ruth will be sent to the mound ' Cubs Will Even Up Series, Says Mitchell Boston, Sept. 9.—"lt was any body's game up to the last minute and the effort put forth by the Cubs clearly shows their determi nation." said Fred Mitchell, man ager of the Cubs. "Boston took the first game, Chicago the second and Boston the third. Now the Cubs will balance the scale again by taking the fourth. Vaughn got the worst of the breaks Sat urday, although he was not in as good forth as the opening day It is probable I* shall use Hendrix in the opener at Boston to-day." HORRORS OF HUN PRISON TOLD BY MAN WHO SUFFERED NEAR 4 YEARS Soldiers Taken on Field of Battle Ruled by Barbarous Des pot; Cold Comfort For Aged Civilians Forced to Work For Military Czars (By An Escaped Prisoner) Washington, Sept. 9.—For three and one-half years I .was a prisoner in a German prison camp. At the end of that time I was fortunate enough to escape. Although I am a Russian, the peace of Brest-Litovsk did not give me my freedom. lake the enemy i subjects who were in the same camp, j 1 had to wait my chance to make a ■ perilous dash for liberty. I Although much has already been i written in the press of all countries I about the treatment of war prisoners |in Germany, nevertheless I believe i that 1 have had experiences which i are, to u certain extent, unique and i worth relating. The camp in which i I was confined is Camp Holzminden, I on the Weser. At this place a great ' number of civilians who have in no way participated in the war are held captive. It is not a camp for military prisoners; it is a camp for enemy civilians. The regime at Holzminden was fairly mild until the beginning of 191". But when General Haehnisch, a barbarous old despot, was named general of the 10th Army Corps, to which district Holzminden belongs, the camp conditions were utterly changed at once. In the place of the former commanding officer, General Pilugradt, who had treated the pris oners with decency and a cQrtain amount qf consideration, Colonel Gallus was appointed, a halt crajSV individual, with years of experience as a prison director. With the help of a group of his underlings), more ruthless than himself, the colonel very soon succeeded in establishing a German prison regime at Holzmin den. Heaviest Work Required This regime involved forcing the prisoners to do the heaviest sort of labor. Every day they were required ;o break up and haul stone, build roads, and work in the fields. The road building was at a distance of from live to six kilometers from the camp. Work in the factories of Holzminden was also looked upon as a camp duty. Because of the fact that the prisoners were for the most part students, engineers, merchants and so on,,who were unused to physical labor of this sort, the tasks were par ticularly onerous. Furthermore, the guards were instructed to keep nag ging at the prisoners constantly, to I make them work faster. The manner of these guards is quite indescribable. They received from the colonel himself orders of the most outrageous sort. T
