from the 40-yard line or better were
made. That is almost as many as were
accomplished in ten years by the old
timers who used to scrimmage where
men of today kick. Payne, with his
63-yard boot, tops the list of distance
kickerS for 1915. Wilcox follows with
55-yard wallop, Guernsey of Yale, who
kicked SO yards against Princeton, is
third. J. l.. Cody of Vanderbilt, S. Ewing
of Penn State and G. Parker of Du-
buQue are tied for fourth place with
50-yard kicks. Parker, by the way,
booted two from that distance. The
others slip down from As yards by G..
G. Pultz Of Purdue to IA kicks from the
40-yard line made by players in differ
ent sections of the country.
And, from the way the coaching per-
sons talk and the dopesters dope, one
is led to believe that the day of kicking
has just begun; that what was done in
1915 won't be anything remarkable in
comparison with what will be accom-
plished this year when the gridiron
stars finally unloosen their boots.

FIREMAN SAVES THE BABY
Climbed Out on Pilot of Locomotive
and Lifted Infant From
Track.

La Crosse, Wis.-Coon Valley resi-
dents are talking of applying for a
Carnegie medal for Fireman Peter
Hensgen of the La Crosse & South
eastern. He was in a freight engine
cab when he saw a child in the dis
lance on the track.
It was down grade and the brakes
were slow to grip. Hensgen climbed
out along the footboard to the pilot,
grasped a rod and leaned down.
He grabbed the sleeping child with
his free hand and lifted her from the
track. The child was the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Jacobson.
She had wandered away in the after
noon and lay down, tired, between the
rails and went to sleep.

FANCY STROKES HURT
Woman Tennis Wonder Believes
in Hard Hitting.
MoIla Bjurstedt Says Value OF Chop
and All Cut Strokes Lies in Their
Unexpectedness-TaIks About
Her Own Game.

Molla Bjurstedt, the great tennis
champion, who has again won the Ma
tional Women's Tennis championship
at the Philadelphia Cricket club, has
taken to the pen, too, just like all other
great athletes have done and are do
ing. And in doing so she endeavors
to discuss various plays. The con-
troversial point of the chop stroke is
discussed at some length by her in
her book, tennis for Women"
Defines Chop Stroke.
The chop stroke, as she defines it,
hangs the ball in the air on account
of the back spin and drops it almost
dead after crossing the net" The
value of the chop and of all cut
strokes, Miss Bjurstedt says, lies in
their unexpectedness and consequent
disconcerting effect upon the oppo-
nent. The danger Of this stroke and
all other strokes which, she says, she
chooses to call "fancy" strokes, is that
they absorb the whole Of ones
game" The result, Miss Bjurstedt de-
clares, is a game in which tricks take
the place of straight, hard plays. Fond
ness for the chop stroke she is inclined
to trace to it's efficacy against weaker
players.
Tells of Own Game.
AS to her own game, the champion
says:
II have never used the chop stroke
or a stroke with an excessive top
spin. 1 do not know how to play them,
and do not care to learn. Even if
I thought 1 could learn these strokes
without weakening my drive, am not
at all sure that 1 should go to the
bother. To my mind they do not pay.
I consider tennis hard-hitting, placing
game, and I think speed and place
ment must eventually win.

Of his eighth year, in the absence OF

preached the new log cabin, and Abra-

shot through a crack and killed one

GAS result of the good harvest the
number of hogs has increased several
millions since July and the fat and
meat question steadily becomes less
acute. Eggs, like butter and all other
fats, still remain scarce, but Bulgaria

quantities.

ganized perfectly and the missing ar
ticles, like tea and coffee, have been
replaced by substitutes. Nobody com
plains of the high food prices, because
all wages have increased correspond

German industry is in excellent con
dition. Factories are working day anC
night. There is plenty of coal and iror
and the scarcity of nickel, rubber and
other articles is not felt very MUCH be-
cause German science has found sub
stituteS.
''The fact that the largest part of the
war expenses always flows back into
the pockets of the people has created
favorable situation for Germany. The
empire is far better off than the allied
countries, which have to get much OF
their food supplies and war materials
from the neutral countries at an enOr
nous cost. The war has impoverished
Europe, but Germany has suffered least
in this respect and will never breah
down economically.
Favorable to Germans.
"In different theaterS of war the
situation also remains favorable to the
Germans. Their lines i'll the east an6
