Paris, Aug 15.-Eddie Rickenpack- CT, one of the most noted automobile racers in the world, is now serving under the Stars and Stripes in France. The daredevil driver, who has won many races on the oval shaped tracks of America and Europe, has prob ably experienced many thrills in ex- citing finishes and near smashups but he Is destined for the greatest of all before many months have passed. He is now acting as chauffeur to General Pershing in France, and when our troops get to the front line trenches he will be in the thick of the fight. Chauffeurs are badly needed at the front, but to Eddie goes the biggest distinction of all. that of driving the car of the American commander in France.

New York left last night for its final western trip. a thoroughly disheartened and disor- ganized aggregation,t suffering under the lash of seven consecutive reverses
 The opening battle was a heart breaker for Southpaw George Mog- ridge. He outpitched Willie Shaw. There were no excuses for the second trimming. Walter Johnson was in the box for the Senators. He was at his best He simply toyed with the Yankees. On the other hand, Washington clouted Nick Cullop un- mercifully, and very early made the contest a joke.
