CANADIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE. July 27-Our guns have
at last definitely secured the upper hand

These additional gunners were given
practically unlimited supplies of ammu-

They were good men and duel took place
between their guns and ours in the Loos

The Four Best
Over the long span where the records
count the four greatest hitters of baseball
are Cobb, Jackson-no, you didn't guess the
rest They are not Wagner, Lajoie or
Speaker. They are Pete Browning and Ed
Deehanty.
Pete Browning hit 1856 for twelve cam

teen campaigns. These marks are all above
the grand average compiled by Lajoie, Wag-
ner or Speaker.
Laioie's mark Of 1898 for twenty -one years

sport But it is no more remarkable than
Wee Willie Keeler's mark of .3i4 for nine-
