RAIN POSTPONES FIRST GAME OF WORLD'S SERIES

(Dy Associated Press) CHICAGO. Sept 4. The first of the world series baseball game between Chicago, champion ot the National League, and Boston, pennant winner of the American League, was called off today because of a steady rain, which falling for hours showed no signs of cessation.

September 25, 26, 27 ! xX JACK KGENE Miller Hugglns, in spite of trying conditions, has made good as the Yankees' manager, says a New York critic, v.ho continues: "He has kept his team In the first division In the face of discouraging handicaps. If the little fellow had been able to retain Shawkey, Thormnhlen, Plpp, Bodle and other good players up to the present time, the Yankees might have captured the American league pennant. It was a body blow for the National league after Hugglns left the Cardinals. Rut Colonel Ruppert'o big salary offer turned the trick. All things considered Hugging la the most capable leader the Yankees ever have employed, and when baseball is revived after the war New York fans will be glad to sec him again in charge of the team." While many of the noted baseball stars are trying their hardest to stay out of the service, Umpire Pill Byron, who is forty-seven years old, is try lng his best to get in. Byron has made many application's to get into the ground service of the aviation corps as a mechanic, but has always been turned down because of his age. Charley Herzog is quoted as saying 1hat whatever happens to baseball in """"the future, he Is done with the game and that from now on he will be a farmer in Maryland. He has done very well in baseball up to the very last and can afTord to retire. Being with a champion team is no new experience for Max Flack of the Cubs. He was a member of the Chicago Federals which won the pennant In 1915. Trls Speaker rises to remark that Sam Jones Is the best pitcher on the Red Sox roster at present. Sam was included In the trade which sent Speaker from the Red Sox to the Indians more than two years ago. From the tall-end Athletics of 1917 to the pennant winning Cubs of 1918 is the experience of Charley Pick. He made the trip via San Francisco. Rolllo Zeider, second baseman of the Cubs and one of the greatest veterans of the game now is nicknamed Sandy. They used to call him Hook because of the prominence of his proboscis, but the hook has become so prominent as he has worked himself thin helping to win the pennant for the Cubs and his complexion has become so swarthy that they call him Sandy Hook and appreviate it.

"It all goes to show the wisdom of "Providence," says Rollle. "Some persons might think that a nose like this is a misfortune, yet the fact is that it has made me the greatest sun fielder in the world. All I have to do is to turn my head either way, shade one eye with that nose and catch any fly that ver was hit " RECORD OF THE PAST No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had In Richmond. Look well to their record. . What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Anyone with a bad back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement. William Cooper. 414 South Eleventh street, Richmond, gave the following statement in September, 1913: "My back was' weak and. lame and ached a, nrPHi urai, i imio unru uumi n niuuej ,

Pills when these spells have become severe and have never failed to get relief in a short tlm. I believe Doan's will help any kidney sufferer if used right and I advise anyone who has this trouble to get Doan's Kidney Pills at Thistlethwaite's Drug Store." On November 22. 1917, Mr, Cooper added: "I know Doan's will do good work when the kidneys are out of order. They never fall to help me when V my kidneys give me the least trouTle."

Can't Get Enough Mail From Home, Writes Soldier "We can't get enough mall from home," Walter Kinsey writes from camp in Galveston, Texas. We are always looking for some but it never comes. I Should like to hear from some one in dear old Richmond. "I am in an organization that will not go across, but believe me, we would like to go very much. We do guard duty at homo to protect the property of our government and fight until the last breath is out of our bodies for our loved ones at home and for those boys who have gone across the sea. I am a Spanish-American War soldier as nearly all the men in my battalion are but the fight is still in us." Kinsey Is a Richmond man and has a brother in France.

ATHLETICS TO PLAY GIANTS SUNDAY The Richmond Athletics will play two more games with the Giants next Sunday afternoon at Exhibition Park. Last Monday the picked team of the S. A. L. under the name of the Athletics won two games from the Giants. This gives the Athletics the right to claim the city championship. With Day out of the game at the short position on the colored bunch, they are not up to their usual standard and the Athletics had an easy time getting hits through Francis. Definite arrangements will be made later.

The Boys' Red Blood Club. A resolution has been offered and universally adopted, endorsing the curriculum of the Boy Scouts of America, from the Idea of one good deed a day to the first aid preparation. There seems to.be but one material difference as between the Boys' Red Blood Club and the Boy Scouts movement, that is the staff vs. knowledge of gun handling. The Boys' Red Blood Club members insist upon this fact. When a boy is of sufficient age that he may become a member of either of the above clubs, he has a mind sufficiently matured to grasp the little intricacies of gun lare and be taught to accurately shoot and kill, but along the lines of protection and preparedness. Seldom does one hear of an accident happening to those who are conversant with the handling and use of fire arms. They know the killing power of guns and are edur.a;-1 to be careful and cautious in their directing. Boy Scouts are about the proper age for instrution, being at the reeptive and retentive ages. They should be under a competent Scout Master, who has had shooting experience that he may impart to a selected few scouts in the commencement, who will rapidly develop into assistant in-1 structors. The first lesson should be devoted to safety and extreme caution, a certain eliminator of danger. When a boy has been taught to handle, load, and fire a gun, observes the striking and killing effect of either a'charge of shot or bullet, his bump of caution immediately develops to an abnormal degree and he at once avoids pointing the muzzle of a gun in the direction of himself or other people. This caution comes with education and observation, hence every Boy Scout should be intensively trained to handle a gun, which will formulate sis slogan of "safety first." Again the necessary requisite for successful shooting are especially and particularly useful to the boy, as he becomes past master in the shooting art. Need Good Shots. Based upon our nation's immediate requirements. General Pershing said, "Accurate shooting is at least 70 per cent of soldier efficiency." , Would it not be logical to teach our Boy Scouts to shoot and handle a gun, thus em phasizing their efficiency and - con serving the all important element of ume, which is such a factor on tne west front at the present time. Boys will not be called to the colors at an earlier age by this line of training. You will have the comfort of knowing when they are called, if ever, their previously acquired knowledge of guns will be their personal safety guarantee and we will be directing the rising generation into the proper channels of universal training and preparedness, guaranteeing permanent peace. The staff would be no means of defense as against the modern methods of warfare, they are useful on the hike or used as a cane by people ot mature years, but we . now need national preparedness against a repetition in the future of conditions such,

Playing in World Series "Mere Trifle" to Being Decorated by Country ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 4 Playing in a world's series is a "mere trifle" compared to being decorated by one's country, Hugh S. Miller of St. Louis, former Federal leaguer and now a private with the Marines in France, writeB to a friend here. "You know it is every ballplayer's ambition to play in a world series," Miller writes.' "Well, I had such dreams, too, picturing myself a hero before a large crowd. But, say, that is a trifle compared to being decorated by one's country. On July 12, I was decorated by General Pershing with the Distinguished Service Cross and given a real handshake by the general himself. . - "I had a wonderful feeling. It was the greatest moment of my life. I shall never forget, it. I captured two Germans, one an officer, from whom we got some good information.' They were the first prisoners' my. regiment got." In the last big drive Miller was wounded.

Lang ford to Teach Boxing to the Colored Soldiers ST. LOUIS, Sept. 4. Sam Langford, veteran negro heavyweight, at the end of his present BChedule of bouts, probably will become a boxing instructor for negro soldiers. Langford has twice received offers from Dr. J. H. Raycroft, chairman of the Committee on Training Camp activities. Langford is beyond the present draft age, is married and owns a farm. He is eager to give the soldiers the benefit of his long experience in the ring. and as have confronted us for the past years while we , were "rounding to," and getting. in condition to give those boches their needings. With proper preparedness and universal military training to the point of perfection, which we have attained at the present writing, we would have sailed into those Huns with the usual Yankee pep that would have brough intelligent peace propositions from kaiser Bill prior to this date. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Question In shooting double targets, which" is best to shoot first? JAMES McGANN, Quincy, 111. Answer. The secret of shooting double targets is to get your first target as soon as possible, not sacrificing accuracy to speed. Much depends on the wind, lay of grounds and angle of targets, all of which you must weigh up after your arrival on the shooting field. Make sure of the first target you essay to break, trusting to Providence on the second. You can't eliminate the guess work; always present. Question. Where do the best shots hail from east, middle west or coast? RANDOLPH MARTIN. Answer. A muted question; every eection have a number of "crackerjack shots" who are always in evidence. The number proportionately are based upon population and environments. Americans as a class are natural born expert shots. The annual

FOOTBALL FIELD IS TO HELP TRAIN MEN FOR BATTLE

CHICAGO, Sept. 4. With the Major league season ended, sports are beginning to take on an autumn hue. Football is now attracting interest. Practice will be started in the "Big Ten" on Sept. 15 and regular schedules will be maintained as in former years. Coaches of the Missouri Valley conference also are rushing plans for the season. There is no indication that the sport will be wiped out, nor even seriously curtailed by the new national army draft which includes youths of eighteen years old. It is pointed out that every important university in the country is a military institution, virtually a reserve officers' training camp, and youths attending college will receive military training along with the scholastic' studies. As to the success of the game this fall, experts will not hazard a guess, although the coaches thint the sport will thrive. The "class" of the game will, of course, have to be discovered in actual play. There promises to be an abundance of green material from which the coaches must build their 1918 machines. The veterans, however, will be missing. Most of them are In military service. Dr. Henry L. Williams, coach at the University of Minnesota, in issuing the call for practice, declared there are no better soldiers and no more invincible fighters in the world than the American college football players now on the battle fields of France. . Dr. Williams proudly pointed to the fact that every member of the 1916 Minnesota eleven, regular and substitute, is now an officer in the army. The veteran coach believes there is no better training for an army officer than on the football field. "The season that we are approaching is a momentous one," Dr. Williams said in his appeal. "Not a university in the country but has its college life shaken to the foundation. If football has been preserved in the colleges it is because it has proved its worth as a training school for fighters and for the development of those qualities in character, heart and mind that maice a man more valuable to his country in this great emergency. "There are no better soldiers and no more invincible fighters in the world than the American college football players now on the fields of France. At Minnesota wre look wirh just pride at the records of our football men in answering the call to the front. It was Bert Baston, captain of the 1916 team the best that ever represented Minnesota that was one of the leaders of the marines at ChateauThierry, where the Germans, were held and put back for the first time averages on targets thrown shows but little difference in locality ability. This might materially vary based upon existing conditions and the way targets were thrown. A recent race between the east and west given for the benefit of the Red Cross furd, was staged during the Grand American Handicap. Ten amateurs selected on the grounds, also ten professionals, the score of the 5 high men on each team to count. The west was successful on both teams, but it must be remembered that the west had the largest field to select from. The scores were remarkably close, especially on the amateur race the five men on the western team scored 490, the eastern 488, a difference of two targets only. There was a greater difference in the professional; the west were credited with 493, th east 479. There will be a real race at some time in the near future, as it is certainly brewing. lopei ded" and rtill ddifSts m l Give me Remington UMC a ebanee eaye. aboot right.

In their drive for Paris. Bert, though shot in the legs 6taid in action r.nd looked after the disposition of his men. He was commended for bravery and efficiency. "The American college football spirit has affected the spirit of the whole American army, and the spirit of the American army has inspired and rejuvenated the French, English and Italians. "We have a million and a half Americans in France today and another million and a half in the training camps at home who are about to go. Another two million is about tq be called out by the government. Every man of you will be among that number. - There Jls no better course of training for an officer in the army

than on the football field." September 25, 26, 27 ! BOTH TEAMS IN GOOD CONDITION CHICAGO, Sept. 4. The two teams which are to contest in the fourteenth world's series to be held under the auspices of the National Commission rested easily Tuesday night, both claiming to be in perfect condition for the opening battle Wednesday. Fred Mitchell's Cubs arrived early Tuesday morning from their little Labor Day jaunt to Pittsburg, where they polished off the regular season by splitting even with the fourth-place Pirates. The Red Sox arrived In town about 3 o'clock and hustled to their hotel near Comiskey Park and from there to the ball grounds, where they got in an hour of practice after the Cubs had left the field. They are all quite familiar with the angles of the big yard and were out in uniform only to get the kinks out of their muscles after their long ride from New York.

MURRAY When a community la dominated by a political boss, who, with his grafting henchmen preys upon its inhabitants, radical measures are necessary in order to effect a change. This was a condition that confronted Charles Ray, who as Jimmy Duncan in "His Own Home Town," a new Paramount feature play JuBt released, tackled this task with admirable results. There are numerous thrilling incidents in the development of the story, and the continuity is excellently sustained. Mr. Ray is adequately supported by capable players, many of whom have been with him in his recent Paramount successes, notably "His Mother's Boy," "The Hired Man" and "The Family Skeleton."
