Some interesting figures have been
made public relative to the cost Of
registra ton for the National Army in
the various counties of the state, and
the cost per capita of the registration
and draft will no doubt be a surprise
to most people, but it will give little
insight into the enormous expense of
recruiting an army. The cost in Car
land County was the greatest of any
county in the state, per capita. That
county furnished only fifteen men,
and the expense was $4,000 for each
man. Benton County has furnished
forty men at an expense of S19.13 for
each Carroll IS, S24.07 for each;
Madison 60, $685. each; Washington
58, S6.97 each. Lee is the only co,,n-
" ii the state which showed sufficient
pair otism to carry out the draft law
without any expense. Grant Comfy
was close second, the per capita cost
IN tfat county beng only 98 cents.

Bert Wilson, who used to pl,y In
the Texas league, but has quit the
game except to play independent ball
around his home town Of Pittsburgh,
tells Richard Guy these stories on Cy
Forsythe, 4 character we'll known In
minor league ball and who will be
remembered as having once been
given trial by John McGraw at Mar
lin:
you have heard Of eccentric left
handlers, but the year I played with
Dallas In the Texas league we had
the champion Of than all. He was
Cy Forsythe, a southpaw first saeker
who could hit EN- q mile. All he
thought about was his hits. One day
he went to the bat and said to the
umpire: Hold this game, want to
make an announcement The ump
did. Cy, without taking off his hat,
turned to the crowd and said: I am
now going to crash into one for two
or three sacks or maybe q home run;
it will be longer than a single He
did he tore one down the alley for
three bases, sending in two runners
ahead of him. That was at Fort
Worth.
THE next day it was very hot and
we were all tired out when the ninth
inning came around There was
man on second-the tying run-and
Cy going up to hit. He turned to me
and said: Now if ! hit in that run
it will mean a tie game and longer
innings to play; If strike out we lose,
escape extra work and can get out on
the street early--guess | will strike
out
HE went up andtook three. When
he returned to the bench the man.
ager, Dred Cavender, asked him why
he took three. Aw, he outgucssed
me-" was the laconic rejoinder.
Before going on the field the next
day we were in room next to Cav
endcr, but we did not know he was in
the building. We were all of one
opinion, that it was mighty hot to
play. Up spoke Cy; Well, I saved
you extra work yesterday by strik-
ing out Instantly Cavender rushe,

once and a while busts one on the
snoot for three sacks we refuse TO
say. The Omaha Forsythe did once
get trial with the Giants and made
himself famous by cracking two home
runs off Christy Mathewson in the
same practice game. But our Cy is
not left-handed first baseman; he's
q right-handed outfelder. But he does
bat from the southpaw side of the
plate. Your guess Is as good as any.
