A GOOD ONE GOT AWAY.

WONDERFUL are the ways of the
 major leagues. The Detroit club is popularly supposed to have spent $15,00O to land Bill James. Last win ter they might have had Eddie Plank for $2,500. Thus far or Ed has won fourteen games and lost eight with a light hitting club addicted to slumps. It is reasonable to suppose with the Detroit artillery behind him Plank would have won twenty games by this time, and that would cinch the gon- falon for the Tigers.
 He might have done the same for any other American league club. yet they gave Eddie the twice over and the go-by.

Many Freak Plays This Season

Other extraordinary features include twenty bases on balls by Pitcher Harry Harper in a game between Minneapo- lis and St. Paul of the American asso- ciation; the winning of two games in one day by Pitcher Mellinger of Cedar Rapids team of the Central associa- ton, who allowed fifteen hits and two runs in twenty-four innings against Marshalltown; a twenty-two inning scoreless tie game between Burlington and Keokuk in the same association; George Cutshaw's two safe hits on one pitched ball, which Umpire Klem de- clared legal in the Brooklyn Chicago game of July 10, and Left Fielder Rube Oldring's failure to take the field with the rest of his teammates until several balls and strikes had been call ed upon the batter, due to an interest ing conversation with Joe Sugden in a recent Athletic Browns game at St. Louis. These are only a few of the queer plays of the year.

Bill McKechnie was playing third base for the Newark Peps when Man ager Bill Phillips was released and McKechnie has filled his place with degree of success that indicates he"will be retained.
 Harry Lord plays third base for the Buffalo club fully as capably as he used to do when he was with the White Sox. His duties as manager of the Buffaloes do not seem to inter- fere with his playing ability, his stick work being fairly good. He succeeded Larry Schlaf1y as manager only a month or so ago.
 Rebel Oakes, the guide of the Pitts burgh Stogies, is the regular center fielder and considered one of the best gardeners in the league. He is also popular with the players and has his team well to the front in the Federal league contest.

A BASEBALL fan has asked, to de-
 eide an argument, for the name of the pitcher who in all baseball history had the greatest slow ball.
 That question has been put to the wise men of baseball many times, and they have never agreed. Old floss Radbourne, Clark Griffith, Hank O'Day, Virgil Garvin, Christy Mathewson, Otis Crandall, Russ Ford, Fred F'alkenberg and Eddie Summers have been named.
 Summers with Detroit in 1907 and part of 1908, had a wonderful slow ball. It was his 'knuckler." After a time gripping the ball tore his finger nails

GAVE LIFE TO FIND GUN
THAT SHElLEO OUNkiRK
French Aviator Discovered Monster,
Retained Own Lines. Reported and
Expired. Saying II am Satisfied"
Succeeded Only by Narrowcst Margin
In Bringing Information as to- To-

(By the Associated Press

Dunkirk. June 1.-THE airmen who
located the 15-inch German gun that
bOmbarded Dunkirk succeeded by
only the narrowest margin in bring
ing Information in. Several pilots and
observers. French and English. volun-
teered for this service. The honor fell
to a biplane with a pilot designated by
permission of the censor as MOI sieur

their crews ready to follow in case the
first should not come back.
The second volunteer was about to
ia Ike the air when a speck appeared
in the distance, rapidly growing lar
ger but w%abbling like a wounded bird
struggling to maintain its equilibrium.
Suddenly it slipped down rapidly
some hundred of yards. The waiting
pilots watched with blanched faces
until the machine righted itself: it
was still descending very rapidly and
the Allies lines were still a thousand
yards away.
It's all up with her" said one
pilot, shell land inside their lines"
The biplane then made a sudden
lurch upward, a hundred yards. then
came down again more precipitably
than before. 1t was this last desperate
attempt that lifted her over the lines:
she landed just behind the Allies
trenches. The Germans opened a hot

drove them out of their first line Of
trenches and the biplane was hauled
into safety with it's great secret
Flying at a height of 1900 yards
the biplane had one about IL miles
behind the German lines. There the
observer saw some new earthWOrk
and at the same moment a storm OF
shrap nel burst around the machine. q
she'll carried away part of the tail
and tore a large hole in the lower
plane. The observer. however. had
time to locate a deep ditch rooted over
with concrete from which peeped the
ga ping mouth of the big gun that was
sending half-ton shells into Dun
kirk.
The aviator was bleeding p~rofusely
from a wound in the stomach when
he landed but he had the energy to
make a clear comprehensive report.
He said, Il am satisfied and then
[ died.
A few hours later the French ar
} tillery had located the German gun
and were reducing its concrete armor.
