II congratulate you upon the noble

In connection with the religious work
among the soldiers, it is hoped that
the French government will release for
religious service some Of the 5000
priests who are now fighting in the
trenches. under the French flag. Many
OF these priests were professors in
various colleges in this country. and
answered their country's call at the
outbreak Of war. With these men
ministering TO the spiritual needs of
the soldiers. rcalization of the ire

veteran soldiers. and along with their
spiritual work would be able TO give
advice on practical military matters

SAY iris SPEAKER is
MOST STYLISH BATTER
But Players Don't Think He'll
Finish Above Cobb.

OF all the present day batsmen bali
players are inclined to award the finest
batting style to Iris Speaker, says
Grantland Rice. II have never seen
any one hit the ball as Speaker did last
season." remarked one of the Yankee
veterans. Every hit that he got was
q clean, hard wallop. And even when
be failed to make u hit he walloped the
ball and generally drove it with a
smash either to an infelder or an out
fielder. But whether he made a hit or
not he vas hitting the ball and hitting
it On the nose. It Was a Wonderful
thing to lead Ty Cobb for six consecu-
tive months at bat, but an even more
wonderful thing to keep on hitting the
ball as Speaker did from April to Ccto-
Der without a slump. Whether he can
maintain this pace another year is IN
other matter. But you can gamble if
he does he will not only lead the field
again, but will be up above 400 for the
season."
Admitting Speakers greatness at bat
ball players are not willing to pick him
as q 1917 victor over Cobb. They fig.
ure on not only Cobb's greater speed,
but his aggressiveness and dctermina-
ton, and they know With what a rush
he is going back TO gain his old place
at the top. Under present circum-
stances the best dope seems to be, as
the players themselves see it, that the
Speaker-Cobb grapple will be a very
close affair. possibly closer than last
Seasons great duel, where Speaker led
by fifteen points, a matter Of only four
