ENGLISH SOLDIERS PLAYED

Last night he made two attacks

beat them off quite easily, the in

Never have / seen such a fireworks
display. 1t was magnificent. Guns
popped off all around, both English
and French, shells burst, fireballs lit
up the horizon and the noise was ter
rife. A quarter of an hour later We
were all tucked up and asleep again.

this life very seriously. think that we

German eoroplaue came over US while
a football match was on, and we hear
that it went back and reported a
panic In the British lines, and that all
OF the men were rushing to and fro.
In due course an attack was
launched against us. The referee
took the time, stopped the game,
some sixty shells were planted in the
enemy, the attack was repulsed and
the game was then resumed. where
it had left off. The French were abb

A FOOTBALL STORY

There is a funny story about King,
the Harvard back, and one thae
means a good laugh TO help break the
tense atmosphere of these last days
of the football season.
Just before the end of the Princeton
game, King was hit on the head and
was ordered to the infirmary. File
to bed and slipping a little of the hos
pital soup he began to long for free
DOM
The nurse having forgotten to lock
up Kings clothes, the football player
crawled into them, and then beat u
for home. Soon he was missed, and
the doctor was notified in a hurry.
The first thing the doctor did was to
call Kings house by phone, and as a
mans voice answered, he thought 1t
was Kings father. He told the sup
posed Mr.. King that his son had been
hurt, but that he had disappeared
from the hospital. THANK you very
much" was the reply, and then the
doctor rang off.
Later, and when King had not been
found, the Harvard manager went out
on the search. Football player King
was found at a theatre in town, and
was hustled back to the infirmary. He
did not want to go. but did so under
standing that maybe he could play no
more football unless he did. He re-
manned at the infirmary over Sunday,
and for the last few days has been
playing football without any sign OF
having been at all seriously hurt.
The funniest development came
when it was learned that King, the
football player, and not King, the
father. was on the other end of the
phone when the doctor thought he
was warning the King family tina
their hopeful had taken French leave

Modern Boxers Use Own Judgment.
Many of the modern boxers simply
employ managers to attend to their
correspondence and other little af-
fairs. They do the big scheming and
matchmaking themselves. Their man.
ayers are really only a sort of secre-
taries.
Take Willie Richie, for example.
He did all the talking, figuring and
financing in his match with Freddie
Welsh. He talked hours and hours
over every little detail before he final
ly agreed to meet Welsh in London.
Ritchie's manager, Emele Theiry, sat
beside him during the entire tedious,
irksome debate as dumb as an oys-
ter. Willie displayed wonderful en-
durance and considerable crafty
mathematical qualifications on this
occasion, but like a number of other
wise men, fell into Welsh's trap and
finally lost his worlds lightweight
CT championship, which by all the di'
gain. Richie Is a smart young fell

outgeneraled himself in this impor-

S. Andrews, the noted sporting
writer of Milwaukee,; Al Lippe,
manager Of Jeff Smith, and others,
not forgetting that great hNstler,
Jim Buckley. who looks after the in
terests OF Gunboat Smith and
Tommy Murphy; Harry Pollock,
who led Freddy Welsh to the worlds
title, and host of others. They are
all sldllful diplomats in protecting
and arranging contests for their
headliners. but are they more brainy

racers or their guardians.
When news first came to Paris that
the Germans were sweeping south,
Mr. Duryea, as an American citizen,
obtained permission from the French
government to send his stock to his
stud farm in Normandy. But Durbar
and Shannon were unequal to the
trip, as their legs had been fired and
were badly swollen. They were left
with the two negroes to follow at
leisure. Not knowing the roads, the
negroes went north instead OF west.
1t was their unexplained absence that
led Duryea to think the Germans had
captured the horses.
Durbar will never race again. His
legs have given away. although I'M

his value has not decreased on this

league career, which started in 1897,
Hans Wagner failed to hit 800 or bet

games, big slump for one OF the
greatest batsmen in history. Prior 10
this year his smallest average was in
1918, when he batted exactly 300. His
highest percentage was made in 1899,
