During the game ball autograph
by President Wilson was auctioned on

popular sportsman Jim Butler. the
owner of a large number of race horses,
for $500. Mr.. Butler only paid $500 for
the privilege Of fondling the bail for Il

auction was that the winner turn the
ball over to Father Duffy. chaplain of
the Sixty-ninth. who will take 1t to
France. where il again will be raffied of.
