A. is the biggest ac-ncy for promoting baseball in France although the Knights of Columbus and uthr American warfare agencies tire dome their share. It supplies the material to the Yankee soldiers, has assigned some of its best physical directors to help the Uritish Tommies barn the tine points and is now prepared to give Similar aid to the French poilus. Nearly a million dollars worth of baseball paraphernalia will bo furti'slied to the American army by the Red Triangle in lull'.

Rome, lrrussrl.t and Copenhagen. The "White had won the right to represent the Stars and .Stripes by rapturing the pennant in the American league ami then disposing cf Mexico City and Montreal. 'Today s game gave the f.nal series to the Yankees by a count of four victories to two. It was a beautiful ritehers' battle throughout In which ther was little to chooso between Walter Johnson, Jr., son of tho famous old-time Washington "speed kine," and Foch, a relative of the great Marshall of France, under whose command the Allies captured IJerlin In .the summer of 191'.'. Veterans of the game paid that Johnson's performance today took them back to the years when his father was invincible in the American league. Hs allowed six hits, all of which came in by different innings. With men on the bases, his work was marvelous. "Koch was scarcely less brilliant. Tn fact, in the first. 13 Innings he did not give the Yankee anything that looked hke a scoring chance. Asidf from a tendency to be wild, his pitching was almost perfect. The Frenchman used a slow ball to excellent effect &n had the visitors hitting tall flies all afternoon. The Paris outfield accepted 14 ohanc-s, Joffre in center capturing eight, including two that reauired great ground-covering ability. "A base on balls to Smith of the American team paved the way to the only run of the game In the 14th. Foch fanned the next two men and the Y'ankee rooters hat ab.mt given up hope of scoring when Smith stole second. After getting in the hole with two strikes called. Ty Cob.

"Paris came within an ace of tying tho score In its half of the Inning. Joffre led off with a clean single and Xelange bunted safely attempting to sacrifice. At this point, the Americans saved the day by the prettiest play of the game. Knowing that the next batter would try to bunt.

There was a consultation on the Frenchmen's bench over the matter of putting in a pinchhitter, but the manager decided to let Lorraine work out his own salvation in view of the fact that he already had made two hits off Johnson in the game. "The home backstop proved that the confidence in him was not misplaced by singling to center, and it looked like a lie, but Bob Vea h, son of the former l'etroit left-fielder, made a wonderful throw to the plate and nailed the man who was trying to score from second. "The Paris newspapers, in describing the game, give full credit to the visitors. Instead of following the old custom of 'aiibying" the home club and attributing the enemy victory to bad 'breaks' In bad umpiring, they admit that the better team won. They say the pitching of Christy Mathewson. Jr., Walter Johnson, Jr.. and Cicotte. was such that no team could have beaten the i Chicago aggregation in this series." i -Vote for "Brad"adv. I
