LONDON, March 1O.-What Christy
Matthewson could do to the Germans
near our trenches.
The Germans aye masters of new
tricks. or of adapting old tricks to
new purposes, but their hand gren-
ade stunt would put them at the mercy
OF the great American ball player.
The hand grenade is about the size
OF a baseball and it weighs only a
few ounces more. 1t has four little
buttons on 1t which must strike with
a blow of four oil FIVE pounds in ord
er to cause an explosion, so a man
can handle n in his hands with per-
feet safety.
1 used to watch tie Germans toss
these bombs like school girls, or like
boys pitching nickels at a crack and
all us Americans used to watch the
inefficiency of the bomb in such I'M
trained hands. We were considered
the best bomb-throwers OF all, be-
cause we pitched them with force.
A man with the aim of a trained
pitcher could have worked havoc with
them. He could have kept battering
away at a trerch-and the German
line was only forty-hve feet from
ours-uIItil he had worn out the trench
with repeated explosions.
Eugene Jacobs, the man who left
his butcher shop in Pawtuket to-
come and fight the Germans because
they had destroyed his birthplace in
Belgium, saved his life and perhaps
several other lives one day by catch
ing one of these bombs, as IL 1t were
a baseball. He threw it back, and it
exploded in IL of the German
trenches.
There was a huge Swede in my
section who swung the butt end of
his rifle at one of these bombs one
