Manager Rowland and his players for
tho rrand exhibition they gave. The'
team was as nearly perfect in every department as could possibly bo. It was impressive to me, who have iiad many year's experienco in the national gamer and I have never seen better ball playing, collectively and individually. But although the White Sox have the advantage of two games, which I acknowledge is quite big. still neither I nor my players have given up tho ship. Wo still hope to even up matters in New York ort our own Tolo Grounds, so as to be ablo to come back to Chicago to re-
thusiasts of this city.
I hope the games we play on the Polo Grounds are conducted in the splendid style of the first two games at Comiskey Park. The arrangements were excellent and nothing to bo desired by myself or rlayers was omitted. I take oft my hat to President Comiskey and his splendidly regulated park.

Bell
System
Three Hundred Forty-Seven Telephone Calls Every Second! IN THE BELL SYSTEM on an average every time the clock ticks, day and night, three hundred forty-seven new telephone calls are being made. THE REQUIREMENTS for service for use in the allimportant work of National Preparedness are many and urgent The need to avoid waste is pressing, and in the interests of National Efficiency the lines must be kept as free as possible to handle the abnormal amount of "traffic" used in the many war-time activities. JUST ONE MINIATE SAVED on each telephone call made in the Bell System every day means a saving of Jifty-seven years of productive time each day! You can save time on every call you make By looking in the book to make sure you call the right number and thus avoid the delays in "wrong number" calling; By talking clearly and distinctly, directly into the telephone, so that repetition of parts of the conversation is not necessary; By answering all telephone calls promptly with your name or the name of your company, so that time is not wasted in uncertain inquiries and introductions.

(Special to Thb Times.) EAST CHICAGO. IND.. Oct. 8. -Bill Howard's South Chicago team were no match for the East Chicago Gophers, despite a twenty-five pound weight handicap in favor of the Chicago leaguers. Captain Darrow's men played brilliantly running over two touch downs in the first quarter. At no stage of the contest was tho Gopher line in danger of being cross. Tho final score was 36-0. Hudson, tho Gopher's new end, proved a wonder on the defense and Burreil's seventy yard run was spectacular. O'Brien was tho star of the Gopher backneld and was the most consistent ground gainer. Piper and Quinn played a good game on tho line. The East Chicago team was strengthened by the presence of Jual Rosenthal, a former star
who is home from Fort Washington. Ma., on a ten day furlough. Yesterday's game was free from the usual wrangling. Next Sunday the Gophers will probably play the Hegewlsch A. A. at the East Chicago athletic field.

Each won four pennants in the flve-year period, jet with all their amailng skill and speed and power they were not able to occupy the world's series throne for three straight years. And then tho Red Sox cams. They crushed tho Phillies, four games to one. in 1915. In 1916. minus Speaker and with Barry injured, they won a second pennant, and thwarted tho depressed Dodgers by the same fourone margin. Nineteen hundred and seventeen was then to bo the test. The Red Sox had but two old rivals to beat off White Sox and Tigers. They had dispersed both handily whenever the need cams to call out the reserves. In place of sagging or skidding, they had done before in other campaigns, the White Sox rallied and fought their way back to the old margin and finally to tho pennant. With a star infielder wounded and out of harness, tho Cook county grenadiers had pilfered some of Boston's stuff, leaving the Red Sox a thorny way to tho peak, which they had defended so well through the September campaigns of 1915 and 191.
Tho Wm. Graver Tank Works team after closing a very successful season by defeating the Scatenas a few weeks ago, again donned their suits last Sunday and again defeated the Scatena Colts by a score of S to 2. The ficatenas mads soma radical changes and some of the new players in their lin-up were. Pitcher Artie Johnson, who has played sensational bali this season with the fast Kankakee tefem, also catcher Eddie Wagner, formerly with the Federal league. This however did not bother the fast Graver organization, as pitcher Walsh was at his best, striking out M men and allowing only 5 hits. The sensational batting and base running of Harle was also a feature of the game. In the ninth inning Harle hit the first ball over for two bases and pitcher Walsh then won his -own game by doubling to right field and scoring Harle. In fact every player on the Graver team played classy ball and the Scat-na not have a chance to win. Tho Gravers.
