have been destroying the food that
nourished the goose that laid the gold
en- egg in years gone by; lie, unlimited
newspaper publicity.
Newspaper owners throughout the
country are awakening to the fact that
for years they have been enriching
the baseball magnates by giving them
unlimited advertising absolutely free;
that they have opened the columns of
their papers and gone to huge ex-
pense to boost a game that long ago
ceased to be sport for sports sake and
became monster amusement enter
prise conducted solely for the purpose
of making wealthy the men engaged
in it,
In one of the biggest cities on the
American League circuit, the publish
ers of rival papers got together re-
Gently, discussed the situation, and,
as a result, issued orders to their
sporting editors to keep down profess
ional baseball news in future to GER
tain-and small-limits.
And if those baseball 1aagnates
make any sort of howl" added the
publishers, well cut down the space
still farther and charge them advertis-
ing rates for inserting box scores and
league standings
The sporting pages of the papers in
that pact are now being devoted more
largely to real sports-to golf. to ten
mis-, amateur baseball. rowing. football
and the like. And, odd as it may
seem, the readers of those sport
pages aren't complaining. 1t seems as
if the readers had become tired of a
superfluity of baseball and are quite
contented with new diet

per cent. This does not mean either
that the pitchers are weak, because
these boys in turn creditable strike
out records on their own accord. 1t
means that the boys are all going good
and are putting up real baseball.
Most of the players are fielding be-

In addition to the S. A. L. there is
the Commercial league which in

every other team in the league. Then
there is the K. of C. league composed
of the Brennens, .Kisers, Sharkits, and
Zeyens. Players in these leagues also
take part in S. A. l.. games. While

York attorney and for while stu

the war fever last fall, he took a job
on cattle boat, worked his way to
Bordeaux and enlisted In the famous
French Foreign Legion
In recent letters home he tells of
taking part in terrific fighting at La
Targette, Near Souchez and not far
from the celebrated Labyrinch. His
company was badly cut up, but he
escaped with bad bruise on the fore
head caused by the vacuum of a great
shell which passed a few inches from
his head
Under date of May 20, he writes:
After our attack Of May $40 we
went to the rear, about ten miles from
the front, and were reorganized We
needed it. as I understand more than

us and distributed five military
medals.

"The recruits came up from Val

After leaving our trenches and
crossing the Germans which we're bat

our first stop was in the shelter of a
road. Here the COOL looking Italian,
the fellow who hit ME with the brick,
in the scrap I wrote about, became
reckless and tried to survey the land

bullet through the heart. No convul-

about or sees in the movies; he just
sank down and it was all over. Soon
after we left this position, his chum,
the other Italian was shot through the

scrap.

She was awfully pretty and very
bright but she didn' tknow much about
the golfing game. So he explained the
game to her as she tramped around
the course with him.
He made a beautiful approach shot,
and when they got on the green and he
saw where his ball lay, he exclaimed:
Holy mackerel! There a dead Hy-
mic"
"Oh," she answered, "is that what it
is? I thought I detected a bad odor.'
Yes, that's right; there was a glue
factory in full operation near the
course.
Once upon a time an enthusiastic
golfer drove from the tee-and it was
a beautiful drive. The ball cleared
the bunker by fifty feet. sailed on and
on, and when it landed, rolled along
until it lay on the green.
Lay down, boy; lay down and die"
yelled the delighted golfer, pounding
his caddy on the back. IF you live to
be thousand you'll never see a great

An old Irishman, who used to caddy
for a doctor, became i'll. The medical
party prescribed for him. Several days
later the doctor met the caddy.

asked.

Are you following my orders-four
