If there Is any truth In the report I that the Red Sox traded Derrlll Pratt j and "Rip" Collins to the Detroit TigI era. Cobb will have a greatly improved ball club for the next pennant race. Pratt is a good second baseman and the Tige/s need one, while "Rip” Col- ! lins, if ho would settle down to sori [ ‘ ous work, ought to be a big winning pitcher. ’| In looking for s.ttrprlsrs In the past; season, the Philadelphia clubs must! , not be overlooked. Both the Athletics and tho Phillies 1 missed the cellar for the first time tn I 1 several years. Both Boston clubs! ’ crowded them out and they look just as natural in the grave. St. Louis was a disappointment in ■ the National league race. The Cards were doped last winter to furnish the biggest opposition for the Giants, but 1 they broke in the late season and did 1 well to finish In ,a tie for third place. ' Washington failed also to live up to pre-season expectations, largely on account of the slump that Roger Peck--1 inpaugh fell into. Peck left the Yanks with the ambition of becoming the * manager of the Senators and he didn’t ! seem to be much interested in his f work when he failed to land the job.. Bill McKechnie’s work in getting t the discordant elements of the Pitts- ’ burgh Pirates straightened out made I him one of the big figures of the seaJ son. If he had been at the head of the club from the start of the season, the > Pirates might have won the pennant. J They appeared to be the best team i in the National league on their lasi i eastern trip. * New York is a very poor place to ‘ judge ball clubs, however. Every team ' tries its very best to beat the champions and every player does his ut- . most to play spectacularly in New

An allegorical concept of the Red Cross as a peace-time ideal is employed by the American Red Cross in a new and striking poster for its Annual Red Cross Roll Call. Spread out before the heroic size figure is the outline of the United States with a Red Cross superimposed upon it while around its borders are sketched scenes depicting the chief activities of the Red Cross today—service to disabled veterans of the World War, disaster relief and promotion of the public health. The poster is the work of Lawrence Wilbur, a New York artist and will be displayed throughout the country during the enrollment of the Red Cross membership for 1923.

York, where the fans are very generous. Some critics figure that the Visiting clubs play about twenty per cent i better than normal at the Polo grounds. o MONROE NEWS Frank Andrews and sister, Miss ! Edna, left here Wednesday for an i extended visit with relatives in Bruns--1 wick. Mich. Dr. and Mrs. #eck, of Chicago, arI rived here Tuesday to visit this week with Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Beitter \ ami other relatives. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hendricks and I daughter. Miss Groynes, left Wednesday for their southern home in Flo- ■ rida, after spending the summer at! Oden, Mich., their summer home. Harve Smith, of Decatur, was here! Thursday on business. The Ladies’ Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church met at the home of Mrs. W. S. Smith, on West - Washington street, Thursday after : noon. A large number were in attendance. After the regular routine of i 'business the remainder of the after ' noon was devoted in a social way aud - chat. Refreshments were served and a good old fashioned time was enjoyed., On Monday evening a number of the ladies of the Methodist Episcopal Aid and Missionary societies tendered ■ ' a farewell party to Mrs. S. E. John-; son, a member, who will make her fit-1 tore home in Bluffton. Mrs. Johnson ' was presented with several useful me- j mentoes by her co-workers, in appre-j ciation of the esteem and respect held by them to Mrs. Johnson for her labor I and part taken while affiliated with I them. The best wishes go with Mrs. i Johnson and family in their new home. The “spook” mystery has been I solved —or at least part of it —by some of our “dopesters,” as they now dope; it out in large doses. Their solving of the problem is as follows: They now ; claim that some of the would-be-spooks i are a bunch of young men who secret- ! ed themselves in the upper story of the building and at stated times drop- ■ ped a plank fastened to a rope on the J floor below. However, the lantern | part of the story has not yet been doped out. The perpetrators of the: j “spook” producing noises have thus i far not been apprehended, so you must wait for "further developments, as you might fool some people part of the time, but you can’t fool them all of the time. Our informant does not carcj to sit up at night to watch the cause ( and effect of the workings of the j ' “spooks.” Our boys’ and girls’ basketball ' teams are being lined-up and have 'many games scheduled for this season, j “The Trip Around the World,” that ' was to have taken place on Tuesday I evening, was postponed on account of' 'the inclement weather. However, if I the weather permits, it will occur on ' next Tuesday evening. The meeting, place will be at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage. From there the pie will go to the Eli Hendricks’ home and thence to the E. W. Buscbe home, j thence to the John McKean home.' Everybody is cordially invited to takei ' this, trip to the "foreign land” and enjoy the hospitalities of the people!

extender"at these stations’ An ex-! cellent time will be in store for yon. Great preparations are being made for the big Hallowe’en celebration to be held at the Monroe school house! on Tuesday, October 31. This event will far exceed all previous occasions, and is looked forward to with much interest. Monroe, in the past few: years, has enjoyed a safe and sane Hallowe'en celebration, devoid of | rowdyism and destruction of property, I and there has been much enjoyment | and satisfaction to all taking part. J Large crowds attend these meetings every year and all have a social good' time.
