WHY CUBS LOST.
H. E. K. , Chlcnflo Sport Writer Tells
of Cubs' Crusblnn Dcfc.it.
Commenting upon the downlall of
the Cubs. II. E. K. , In the Chicago Tribune
buno says :
The Culm weio oveipowetod , cutsh-
ed and humiliated. Thu young and
gamesome' Athletics , schooled and
tiallied In evoiy department of the
game , includlni ; courage , by ono whom
we all must now acknowledge as mas
ter craftsman , a superlative organi/er
mid tactician , demon , tiated in the
picsenio of a crowd vast and ctltlcal
that this wonderful machine wo have
all boon boasting about as the no pins
ultra of baseball combination , was
nothing moio than n luagnitlcont shell ,
n glltlorlng reminder that must have
owed Its piovvess and prestige , during
the last season at least , to ihe effect
on the minds of Us opponents ot the
clu//ling glamour ol pn t poiformane-o.
Captain Chance's plan of dashing at
tack and bowlleleting defense , which
has held the baseball world "buffaloed"
for lo these many yoais , was shot to
pieces by lliose young vandals fiom
Philadelphia , an essential pait of
whose basoba'l ' education has been tenet
not bu aft aid ,
Thu Cubs were outclassed , team for
team , and almost man for man , at
ovoiy point mid ( tun that goes to con-
flitiite a ball game. It was a showing
up the ctloet of which will last all
thiough the llfo the present Cub foi-
inaticm. Tlio Cubs will bo confronted
at ( ho beginning of next season by
llio question which Invailnbly brings
n negative ) leply , "Can they come
back ? "
Thoio l.s a compelling reminder in
Iho thiid game and the two that pie-
ceded it , of Sullivan ngninst Corbett ,
Dempsey against Klt7simmons , Shaot-
cr against Ue and Johnson against
JefTiics , a iccord against a reality , ago
and mocking confidence against youth
and ambition. A man who is glutted
with the flloiy of achievement no\er
tools himsuf | slipping until ho has
slipped , .mid a ball club is the embodi
ment of many men with a single im
pulse. The Athletics entoiod the lists
unawod by what the Cubs did to the
Tlgois In 1007. They allowed no
thought that they weio up against a
siipoiior organisation to outer their
minds.

Intorm them poisonally or thiough llio
( oliimns of The News what I thought
of the countrj as an agilcultniiil sec
tion as well ns a phue for a home.
I have now been heie four nionthb
and ha\e not for one single moment
rogi ettod that I ceased to bo poslniasl-

ful little city ot Victoiia. I Inuo

pected , and I was nssuiedly a flulf
Coast cnthuslust fiom the moment I
stepped fioin the tiain ntMctoiia. .
Tex. Heie let me state that the poison
who has gone with an excursion on
some of the special land cais to Corpus -
pus Chrlsta , ltio\\n\illu and other
points , \la San Antonio , has not seen
the best of the coastal counliy , not
by any moans. There. Is not the least
loom lor eouip.nison between the sec

tion , stiotchlng fiom the San Antonio

Ml the lopoits that have been cir
culated thiough pi ess and by poison
of a dionth in Texas do not apply to
Ibis .section. It seldom becomes so
diy heie as to Injuio ciops. The past
summer came as near to it as it over
does and still wo cario tluough with
splendid crops In almost e\ciy lino.
The climate is all that has been
claimed for It. Mysflf and family
passed tlnoimh the hot eeason with
less disomfortnte ( than wo were wont
to oxporionoo in Nebraska. The sun
shines hot , but the beat Is tempered
by the cool gulf bieo/c , which is noai-
ly always blowing. There is little
wind at Victoiia asldo Horn this gulf
biec/.e ami none of the severe coast
stoims bave in or touched heie with
injuiions effect.
Just now we aie passing Uiiongh
about as cold a spell as they often
b-ive heie , yet I am wilting In shirt

clal to The News : The people of
Scotland me moio like tnu people of
Amoilca than any in Euiope. The
same activity , the same energy , and
the same enloiprise is seen hoio that
is so ohaiaclciistic of Ameiica. Here
in Glasgow one could easily imaginu
hlmsell in one of thu older cities of
Ameiica. ThlsS is only the moio true
because of so many of our Ameilcan
pioduels being sold and used heiu.
Tjpowillcis , lawn moweis , insurance
companies , cash loglsteis , adding ma
chines , laiiu machlnciy and scores of
other things from the United States
mo all found heie , so that one sees
neailj s many Ameiican as Scoleh
names in fion' of business places.
Some of Ihc best business blocks In
Glasgow have been built by Ameii-
caus , in which lo carry on their busi
ness heio in Scotland and Gicat III it-
ain.
In tlio count ! y distilcls ot Scotland
It is veiy clilTeient. Aside fiom the
Clyde and a few other mu row valleys ,
theio is no soil al all. and > ot Iho
Scotchman is doing much belter than
the Kiiglishman in the way of suc
cessful fanning. 1 asked one laim-
er whcie he hot lowed his soil , but thin
soil being the inks heie he did not
undoistand me. It ottuiied to me
that one good wagon load of Nobias-
ka toil would fuinish mine leitilily
than he had upon his faun , and yet
he was harvesting a belter ciop of
oats than was ovei harvested in No-
brasl'a. Very canny fellows , these
Scotchmen. With their analytical
mind they soon know the "why" of
oveiything. They aio oven ciowdlng
the ( englishman In his much more
populous ( list i lets , and wheio tlio Eng
lishman fails the Scotchman succeeds.

more feililo country.
The climate over all of Great Itiit-
aln is cool and moist , icquhing a
long season to ilnon giain. There is
much gialn to ciit yet , and bill very
little of It Is stacked. The season has
been an unusually wet one , mining
most ot the time since emly spifng.
Theio has boon no i.ilu now for two
weeks , giving the faunnis ; i good

Tlio tommeitlal hotel system of
Gical Itillain is excellent , and neat
ly alwayj managed by women. In Iho
sniallor cilies the service is at flist
stiango to an Amoilcan but not so
bad when he gets used to It. They
will set a Tid-pound Yoikshiiu ham , a
Cheshlio cheese , weighing nearly as
much , a j'tr of jam , a I'-poimd loaf of
biead , and a pot of tea befoio you ,
when they will leave you to yomself.

Much Poverty in England.
Taken as a whole. Gieat Britain

Another thing one loams Is that
ifter all people diftor loss than we
no inclined to believe , thai Iho woild
s but ono 1mgo family. Go whoio
wo may , chllclteii mo playing the same
games , lovers aio bientiling woids of

MUS ol their swoelheaits ; middle ages
s occupied with the leal activities and
osponsibilitics of life ; old age , more
ikely than not , Is leponting of ( ho
nlstakes of an ill-spent life these me
.he things common lo all mankind ,
ind when all has been said , they still
nnko up Ihc chief Hems of life.
Em ope has much Iho best of us In
yeais , but whether wo speak of any
) iie , or all things , for which life is
wortli living , it is Europe thai suffers
jy die eompaiison. This does nol
iiean thai no good can bo found over
icie , foi go wheto we may thoio will
jo good and there will bo that which
is bad , but always moio good than
bad. The beautitul homo llfo of rural
Fiance ; the coinage and persistency

love of honesty and his stilcl cnfoice
ment ot law , aio all wet thy of our
emulation. Tlio Fiench and British
, ystems ot building roads and maikel-
Ing crops we should make subjecls of
mefnl study.
Upon the other hand this should
not be tonsil nod to moan thai all
Is well al home. Wo have national
doubles of our own , dusts , lailiond
legnlatlon , guilt and other things ,
but the people who have made a
United Slates In llnec condnles , can
be dusted to moot any emcigcncles
that may misc. Wo have minor trou
bles In our home state , but the intelli
gence of Nebraska will lake cato of
the Indue. We me young when com

Euiope mo today our pupils. The
more I study Ihc people here , their
povoity , their ignoiuneo , and of the
bettei people their hopes mid ambi
tions , the inoto firmly I am coin lined
thai the Ameiican schoolhouse and
the Amoilcan school teacher have
boon the most potent foice in Ameil-
cii'a gicatness. The native ability of
tlio Briton is the best In the woild.
Tuio gieatness genius oven an
embtyonlc stage Is miming loose hoio
upon the streets , but there Is no
American schoolhouse , no American
school teacher to develop It. This
makes in Gicat Biitaln n ( ontiadicloiy

Should the business man of Norfolk
ead this letter It will not hint him
n the least , and for his paiticnlar ben-
111 1 will add , that when I was heio
n Gioat Britain sixteen yems ago
evoiy city was competing with every
ithor place in seeming manufacturing
udustilos , but wholly neglecting their
igiicultnral possibilities. Today Iho
manufacturing cities aio ns dead as
hey can bo , and evoiy city is doing
ts best to make itself the center of
igikultuial liado. Leeds , Iho gieat
st mannfactuilng center known , Is
oday the dullest city of England. The
> osl town In eastuin England is Wood-
nidge , wheio ? lfi)0,000 ( ) is paid by
oieigneis every year for her Suffolk
lorscs , and thu business men of the
own iccently lalsed $50,000 to hi- -
sponl in fuilher piefcctlng its favor
to bicccl.
The best town In northein England
Is wheio the United .S.atos , Canada
and Argentina aio paying fiom $1,000
to $20,000 each for fancy Shoithorn
cattle. In westoin England fc is whoio
[ lie bleeders of Mlssouil , Kansas , No

as wel as many moio. Binges Is Iho
