If at the beginning of the war one

the woods or with their cars stationed
before fashionable restaurants, that
time has passed. That should be
known

Chauffeur Is Killed.
IN the evening the machine re-
turned to the garage. All its windows
were broken. Bullets had riddled its
panels. Jean R. was not with it.
His comrade, tears in his eyes, had
brought the car back alone. Jean r.
had been killed during the trip. His
body was on the ground back there,
somewhere in the north. They had
not been able to bring it back. Some
English soldiers had arrived in time
to save the survivors of this mission
on which the poor chauffeur had left
so joyously in the morning.

drafts, the P. L, began to bring order
out of chaos, and at the close of the
season he had bright prospects for
the coming campaign.

Red Dooin's PhiIIies caused some
uneasiness in Giant ranks during a
portion of the 1913 flag race, and
there was promise that they would
furnish the tight little fight for the
New Workers again this year, with
fair prospects of nosing under the
wire as contenders for the post-sea-
son pool.
What happened to the PhiIlies, and
what is happening, is daily history.
First Otto Knabe, the gingery second
baseman, who kept the infield keyed
up to fighting pitch, was snagged by
Baltimore. Then Killifer and Bren-
nan were annexed by Chicago. KILL
fer has jumped back, but the case will
be fought in the courts.
The loss of Knabe will be irrepar-
able to the Pills, and the scrapping
over Killifer is liable to effect the
morale of the team. Brennan's alb
sence will also be felt.
In nearly every instance the Feds
have drawn their men from the
weaker teams, or have so shot their
dynamite that one team in each
league would stand out above its
rival. The results will be plain when
the season advances and these star
aggregations begin to pull out ahead
of the field.

the two have not yet jumped.
President Murphy of the Cubs is
out with threat to sue Ward Miller,
outfielder, for $4,000 damages be-
cause the Dixon, H., citizen signed
with the Federals.
Mention of this amount of money
probably caused Miller great surprise,
as he did not know his former en-
ployer regarded him as such valua-
BILE piece of human flesh. Murphy,
after talking about the $25, 1000, says
he could sell Miller for $4,000.
If Miller is worth $4,000, Tom
Needham must be worth as much as
1925.
Johnnie EVers looked over the

and was in a happy frame of mind.
John had just finished hooking Tom

Phelan to agreements for the coming

The men did not actually sign con-

Al BridWell will probably be num-
bered among the missing on the West
Side when the opening gun is fired in
