last season. Again the attack Of the
team is centered around his powerful
bat, and his unfortunate habit of pro-
dUcing wrecked the SOx yesterday,
though they would have been beat
en- by almost any one, the way they
were batting. In the first inning
Cleveland got its start when Speaker
doubled with a man on second. In
the sixth inning they started again,
Iris doubling again and sending a
man home from first.
Speaker is the personification of
power at bat and radiates confidence.
His faith in his own ability is appar-
ent in every movement and he has
earned the title of most-feared
swatsman in the American league.
Last year the Indians formed a one
man club, Speaker being the man.
This season Speaker is as good as ne
was in 1916, the same driving force
to the rest of the club, with the add
ed strength that the remaining units
of the team are far superior TO last
season.
So far the Cubs have won eight
games, and of these victories jim
Vaughn is credited with three,
against which he has one defeat. He
is the most competent pitcher on the
club and imbues his mates with con-
fdence, so that they play better ball
behind him than any other hUrler of
the corps. Abetting his good left arm
is luck, which frequently carries
Vaughn through.
Vaughn is an imperturbable party
who does not exert himself when
things are going his way. He saves
his strength for the tight moments.
Yesterday in Cincinnati he yielded
II hits, but Offset this by whiting IL
men, once tanning a pair with man
on third and one out. He also whitfield
two in the ninth with a man on first.
With the last game he pitched
against Pittsburgh, Vaughn has

Of strikeouts recorded.
The freaks of baseball were never
better exemplified than in yesterdays
game against the Reds. Fred MeT-
kle, who has been batting sixth,
switched with Les Mann, who has
been hitting in fourth place, the
cleanup notch That shift was
made because since joining the Cubs
Merkle has been lamming the pill I'M
mercifully, while Mann has been eX-
tremely polite in his assaults on the
ball.
But, shifted, there was a different
story. Merkle went hitIess and Mann
pOled a triple and two singles, being
the most important cog in the Cub
attack.
Rollie Zeider, though a failure last
season at shOrtstOp, has been playing
a remarkable defensive game since
Chuck Workman was hurt Some
where last winter ROllie regained his
lost youth, and not for three years
has he played in April the same fast
ball that he has shown this month.
He is as valuable as any utility man
in International league.
With two on Schang knocked a
homer in the ninth, Macks downing
Yanks. McInniss made four hits in
four times at bat. NOyes pitched
fine ball to puzzle New York.
Ruth won his fourth straight for
=
run.
Buck 'Herzog hurt his spine and
will be out of the Giant lineup for
a few days. Kilduff took his place at
second and whacked a single and
homer, good for three runs off Alex

bic and triple.
Frank Schultz hit three safeties,

THIS BOY ENLISTED
Fourteen, Convinced Army Off,
GERS He Was Twenty-one.
LONG PANTS DID THE TRICK.

In Spite Of His Five Feet Six Inches
and 100 Pounds, Mother Dressed Him
In Waists and Knockers and Even In
Public Called Him Freddie, Which
He Resented.
Washington-That long trousers can
add seven years to life In the time 1t
takes to put them on stands written
on the army records here under the
date May 2.
1t was then that Frederick Miller of
Baltimore broke the bonds of child
hood, and he broke them with a
vengeance. Up to hat day there was
no doubt I'm the minds of the ~neighbors
that, in spite OF his five feet six inches
and his 100 pounds. the boy was not a
day over fourteen. His mother dress
ed him In waists and Knockers and
even In public called him Freddie.
But there was more to be blamed on
the Knockers than the accusation Of
youth. They left visible the lower por-
ton OF Frederick's body, and as a con
siderable portion of 100 pounds was
not above his waist, Frederick yearned
with all his soul for a real pair of long
trousers I'm which to hide his legs.
On May 2 Frederick came home from
school to find his mother out. A negro
chore nan was %scrubbing the windows
"a real man. wearing mans clothes.
When Mrs. Miller returned she found
nobody I'm the house, and Freddie was
not seer for a week. She did not know
of course that the negro had gone out
dressed I'm a waist and Knockers.
Finally came "a letter from Freddie
saying that he was happy and was
wearing army pants and leggings. The
postmark was New Rochelle, SO Mrs.
Miller got busy. soon Police Lieuten-
ant Frank Cody was at Fort Slocum
and Freddie was found-called Fred
erick-and the recruiting officers swore
that II Frederick wasn't twenty-one
they had never seen a man OF that
age. Freddie had announced he was
twenty-one when he enlisted.
Lieutenant Colonel Maudlin, com
mandant at Fort Slocum. says Fred
erick should stay and help win the
war. But Freddie was told he must
return home. and his mother said thai
If she couldn't call him twenty-ont
she could 1t least call him seventeen
and give him a new pair OF long trou
Sers.
