Senator Thomas has some interest
ing views on many subjects. He
doesn't think much of foreign war
bonds for instance. He says the
warning nations now owe One Hun
dred Billion Dollars. That before
this war is over the United States
included, the war debt will be One
Hundred and Fifty Billion Dollars.
The interest on this sum will be Six
or Seven Billion Dollars a year. He
thinks the people viii throw it over
some time and refuse to pay. He sees
the approach Of a socialist wave. He
doubts that England will ever give
up the railroads which are now run
by the government And he sees evil
dence Of q tendency toward govern
ment ownership in this country. This
brings up many interesting questions
to the investor. But of course you
can find those who hold a different
view.
A man prominent in public life told
me the other day that he was con-
vinced that for more than a year
Germany had been planning TO make
the United States pay the expense OF
this war. The United States has a
wealth about equal TO that Of all the

He wore soldier uniform, and he
was passing the hat for Clark Griffith s
bat and ball fund, smiling his old in
genious smile as he worked through
the crowd. saiuting friends of his base
ball days.
A salutation from Lark Hank Is
like blast of fresh air. 1t Is no
casual nodding with him-no num-
bling how-d'y-do sort of greeting. He
tells the world when he says hello.
He is always glad to see people, and
he wants them to know 1t.
It struck us that day that 1t was
singularly appropriate for Lank Hank
Gowdy to be there In that uniform
1t seemed to us quite in line with his
spectacular career, and it strengthened
the appeal which the personality of
Hank has always had for our magma
ton.
He was the first baseball notable
to enlist for service. Many another
will follow in his footsteps during
the coming winter, but Lark Hank
was first. That will be his claim to
fame long after his deeds on the dia-
mond have been forgotten.
The Carlisle independent. (Carlisle, Ark.) 1905-current, 1917-12-06

It always seemed to us that the
most spectacular figure ever produced
by a world series or by any other
big sporting event was Lank Hank
Gowdy, the blond backstop of the Bos-
ton Braves, who bludgeoned his way
to fame in 1914, writes Damon Run
yon.
Unheralded and unsung, Lankus
Hankus went into that series and
ripped 1t wide open. He was sup
posed to be an Anticipated sort of
fellow behind the bat, an Indifferent
catcher and bum hitter, but for four
stirring days the long Ohioan was a
Solomon squatting in the shade of the
hickories and a Hercules when he
straddled the plate.
An ingenious fellow is Lank Hank
Gowdy, with an ingenious smile and
an ingenious way of thinking. After
the series was all over and we took
to reflection and retrospection it
seemed to us quite natural that he
should have turned out to be a hero.
Salutation Worth While.
We saw Lank Hank during the last
world series up at the Polo grounds.

WORLDS SERIES iron MANI
Deacon PHILIPPE Pitched Forty-Four
Innings in Contest Between
Pirates and Red Sox.

Despite the fact that he pitched In
four games and won three decisions
over the Giants, Urban Red) Faber
fell just II innings short of equaling
the all-time iron man. record for a
worlds series.
The Chicago pitcher saved from the
bushes" by McGraw to have him beat
the Giants out of a worlds title,
pitched II innings in four combats.
In the 1903 series between the Pr
rates and Red Sox. Deacon PHILIPPE
of Pittsburgh twirled A innings in that
series.
Faber will deserve the tribute that
goes with winning three games in the
series, and takes his place among a
select few who have done this same
thing. Only six other pitchers ever
performed this feat. They are Bill
Dineen Of the Red Sox, who won three
against Pittsburgh in 1903; PHILIPPE of
ton in the same series; Christy Math-
ewson, who took three from the Ath-
leticS, all shutoutS, in 1905; Babe Ad-
ans of Pittsburgh, who captured three
from Detroit in 1909; Jack Coombs,
who won trio of decisions over the
Cubs in 1910, and Joe Wood of the
Red Sox, who was victor in three over
the Giants in 1912.
No other pitcher bore quite as heavy
a burden as did PHILIPPE, back in 1903.
OF the eight games played, PHILIPPE
started and finish five-the first,
third, fourth, seventh and eighth.

Sensational New York Golfer Do

Driver Of Red Cross Ambulance Tells

Phil Carter, the sensational young
New York golfer, is doing his bit with
the American Red Cross In France,
where he drives an ambulance close to
the firing lines, day after day.
In recent letter to friends on this
side of the pond Carter told something
of the great war game for which he
has forsaken the links. He has been
under fire many times, and the night
drives he has been forced to make,
along rough and treacherous roads,
without lights, have convinced him
that war is terribly serious game.
