ped, defeating Walter johnson, too,
by the way.
However, the real part of the cele-
bration was the appearance OF the
Districts drafted men. They were
there, all right, all right, even to the
one chap on crutches with the bad
dogs. They lined up a bit raggedIy,
but then they haven't started through
the military mill yet. In month or
so. you'd never recognize those boys
in multi.
Commissioner Louis Brownlow
strode out upon the field and, after
the American flag had been raised to
the top of the hagpole, he made
speech and gave in the name of Clark
Griffith and the thousands of base
ball fans everywhere in this broad
land several sets of baseball para
phernalia.
Soldiers Good Rootern.
The soldiers representing the
Third Regiment. n. G. d. c., and the
Third and Twelfth Batteries, u. S. A.
field artillery. had two bands with
them. and they made enough noise to
win the average contest But out
there on the field was Howard Ehmke,
using all sorts OF speed and curves,
and so, of couse. the poor Griffmen
never had a chance to land the hon
ors. But the soldiers kept on root
ing just the same. Nothing could
dampen their ardor.
Ty Cobb won the battle. always re-
membering that Howard Ehmke was
always on the job, when he came up
In the third inning, and, with DOME
Bush and Oscar Witt camped on the
u
Zeb Milan's head. That made three
runs and broke Johnson's back.
In the sixth Pep Young worked
a clever squeeze play. dropping a
bunt down in front OF johnson and
scoring Harry Heilman, who had
singled to center, but that run was
not required to decide anything.

HIS EXPERIENCES
ASAFLYINGM MAN
By GEORGES cARPENTrER.


This, my new suit was in CHAM
payne, and as Joined 1t a few days
before the great and terrible attack
on September rs, you win apprs-
eiate my meaning when say I was
just In time for. what proved to be
my warmest experience of the war
30 far. r.
1t is beyond any man to convey
to those who did not actually live
through those day any idea Of what
1t was like in this part Of France
at that time.
I have read many pen pictures Of
the strife the vast loss oY lie. the
misery and the glory Of II an but
no written words can explain and
make you believe what life was in
Champagne at this period.
Perhaps at the time I did c. not
realize it am sure I didn't only
now when I am resting eansI In-
abine what the horrors of II. al were.
Imagine yourself at the ringsida.
You see things which the boxer
neither sees nor feels: Il is possible
you see one or other of the lighters
waging a battle with All the odds
against him; you feel pain when he
feels no pain, the blows hurt you
more than they hurt the boxer, for
the reason that he is mada imperYfous
to pain by being in the tight. His
concentration on beating Ms oppo-
nent makes him insensibie to blows
Only = Phase Of War.
This. II you can understand my
simile, was exactly my position whea'
I plunged into the nghtins at cham
payne.
saw in 1t at that time nothing ab-
1t was but a phase of the
war, and. like every other airman, the
fact that I was called upon to 1y for
two or three hours every day with the
every moment Of being
killed / regarded as ordinary work.
I went up alone. Somehow-It IL
quite impossible to explain. why to
one who has not fown-one's conn-
dence In ones machine is unshakabIs.
Once you get used to II you believe II
is superior to man, to guns. or gun
ners.
Really Lived In Air.
1t was at Champagne that 1 irst
realized I really LIVED in the air,
and nowhere else. Like most avia-
tors, then longer to have a duel in
the air. I became supremely conh-
dent. although my machine was not
Of the speedlest type. and lacked the
OF what I would term the
accepted nghting aeroplane.
You would think when you go for
an enemy, and when quickness OF de-
cision and perfect control of your ma
chine mean everything, that you are
apt to conjure up awful possibilities.
You do nothing OF the kind, because
you are carried away with tko intoxi-
cation of combat. In to a few mo-
ments of the contest you compress
the joys. the thrills. the triumphs. all
the exhilarating sensations Of a lifs-
time.

News Agencies Had Advance
Information On Note Com
mittee Hears.

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The
"first contradictory testimony" of
the note leak probe came today
when Archie Jameson, state de-
partment reporter for the Central
News in describing how Lansing
gave the newspapermen the conf
dental tip on the note said:
Secretary Lansing had said he
was giving the information be-
cause he did not want it to come
back in garbled form from abroad
and injuriously affect the market. :"
Representative Lenroot then
read Secretary Lansing's testimony
to the effect that he had not had
the market in mind when he gave
and imposed secrecy upon the re-
porters.

Wilon's wife. who was the first wit
ness before the house note leak investi-
cation committee demanded an apology

presented a confidential telegram sent
TO his New York office wherein he re-
vealed (under permit Of the state de-
partmenD the fact that a note was
forthcoming.
There was no leak on this" Craw-
ford explained The message declared
that the note was held for morning pa
per publication because the depart
ment didn't want it to affect the
market
Crawford informed the committee
that the International News Service
supplied news to the Jones Co, a ticker
concern. whereupon Representative
Bennett asked that representative Of
that organization be called.
