American Training Camp in France,
Wednesday. Oct. 10. (By the Asso-
ciated Press) Not far behind the
American field artillery which has
been in training in a rugged section
of France for the past two months.
have come the men of the "heavies."
They are veteran gunners and many
are familiar with the big guns at
home and they greeted almost as
comrades the monster French wea-
pons which they are now grooming
for eventual use against the Germans.
Some of the guns with which the
American artillery men are training
are wonderful and ponderous exam
pies of the French gun makers skill
and daring. They range from the
modest but marvelously effective
"155" up to the staggering 400" that
hurls high eXlosive missile weigh
ing just short of a ton. The zoos are
more potent than the big Berthas
ever were in their days of great de-
structiveness.
In calibre the guns range from the
short, squat mOrtars, which sit upon
their launches like giant frogs, up
thru the various members of the
howitzer family to the truly sinister
naval rifles with their long tapering
barrels.
The Americans are delighted with
AnelT french weapons ana are busy
studying every detail and adapting
themselves to the use of the French
material Most of the heavy gunners
are men of long experience and do
not need much actual firing practice
before taking their place in line
against the enemy.
Accuracy, Not Speed, Required.
They have been a little surprised to
find that with the big land guns used
here, speed is not a great factor.
These heavy weapons are used for de-
structive purposes and there is no
special need for haste when dealing
with concrete dugouts and other
enemy defenses that connot run away.
Accuracy is the great goal of all
heavy gunners.
Asked if his men would not find it
difficult to shoot without direct OBJ
servation, the general commanding the
heavy artillery contingent replied:
we will have direct observation
here. The only differences will be
that the observer, instead of standing
beside the gun will be sitting aloft in
an airplane. Each shot we fire at the
enemy will be watched and recorded"
The wireless branch of the heavy ar
tillery service is one of great impor-
lance. At schools already established

Kick BY Cow May
Deprive Oakland Of
Pennant This Year

The kick. of an old COW may rob
the Oaks Of a 1917 pennant. This is
an alarming statement, and may
cause many fan to wonder whether
Howard is depending upon bovine
material for his infeld. The expla-
nation is this, accordings to Billy
Fitz, an Oakland writer:
Rube Gardner, who has been win
tering at Ell Centre in the Imperial
Valley, recently wrote to Del Howard
declaring that he had discovered a
pitching phenomon who was sure to
set the Coast League on fire this
year.
'.This boy will surely win you IL
games during the season. asserted
Gardner Now 70 games means very
frequently the difference a champion
ship club and one in the second di-
vision, wherefore failure to land.
Gardeners >"12-victory pitcher" might
well cost the Oaks the bunting.
Del Howard wrote back to Gardner
and told him to sign the young man
to an Oakland contract. The reply
that reached Oakland headquarters
read something like this:
Dear Del-Am sorry to tell you
that I can't sign the young pitcher I
told you about. He works in a dairy,
and last week cow that he was
milking kicked him and broke his
arm
Thus is future Alexander ruined
by the ill-advised punch of an old
moo-cow.
