Distinction is Claimed by Lieutenant
 Walter 8. Schafer.

Cricago. Dec. z5.--Lieutenant Wal ter B. Scnafer former half back on the University oS Chicago football team, claims to have been the first American officer to go over the top into 'fNo Mans Land" under the bar rage of French gunners, according to st letter exhibited today by Schafer's fraternity brothers at the Midway school.
 Sehafer in his letter told of the manner in which the small body of ! American troops crept out in the night under a peppering of bullets, to cut away the barbed wire entanglements in order thac a heavy assault might be made the following day. l. It was a dark night when we were told in the trenches that it was time for our start" said Schafer. Just we were making final preparations a French officer came running from an output yelling: Guess! Guessi"
 Guess what?" we asked him.
 HI bite. I'll guess y our right hand said one of my men, who look ed at his clenched fist.
 fNoni Non! Guess masks shouted the Frenchman as he seized his safe ty helmet.
 We had just time to put on our gas masks before, the danger came CT there might have been sad results. We went out into No Mans Land' and know that I was the first Amer jean officer to 20 over the top for Un- cle Sam"

Little Rock, Ark- Dec 26.-Harry (Texas) Tate was fouled by Fred Fulton of Rochester. Minn-, in the first round of a scheduled ten round bout here today.
 Fred Fulton, claimant to the worlds S heavyweight championship, lost his bout here today with Harry (Texas) Tate of Nowata, Okla, in the first round by a decision of Referee Billy Raack, who ruled that Fulton was using foul tactics.
 Soon after the start of the fight which was scheduled for ten rounds, Fulton f1oored Tate as they were com ing out of a clinch. Club officials de- clared the blow had been a foul, but the referee warned Fulton and the fight was resumed. Near the end of the round, after a clinch, Tate was thrown through the ropes into the crowd. Referee Haack then stopped the bout and censured Fulton. Tate's back and head were slightly injured by the fall. The crowd would not lis ten to Fulton when he attempted to speak from the ring.

FANS DISSATISFIED
 WITH REGENT DEAL
St. Louis Hooters Warn Branch Hickey -PhiIly Followers Threaten to Boy colt Teams,

The methods of frenzied finance which are being adopted by club owners in the major leagues are all ready causing much unrest among baseball fans which will have a seri- ous effect on the game next summer. The latest blast from the fans comes from St Louis, where they will pre- sent petition to President Branch Hickey warning him that if he sells Rogers Hornsby to the Cubs they will not go near the National League Park. It is expected that the peti- tion will have more than 50 900 names when presented to Hickey. In Philadel- phia the fans are preparing to show both clubs by withdrawing their pat ronage.
 The big offers which are made to ball players excite dissatisfaction bad feeling, which often breaks up the harmony of team. This happened a few years ago when Manager McGraw of the Giants made a big Phillies. When the Philfies refused to let Magee come to New York he was dissatisfied and has never played as we'll since. Now he has been un- conditionally realeased by the Gin cinnati Reds.
 The frequent offers which were made for Alexander of the. Phfllies caused friction among the players on the Philadelphia Club and it was partly because of this that Baker de- cided to sell him. The fans in Gin cinnati now fear that the big offers Weegham has made for Groh will cause Heinie to become restless and want to be shifted where he can get more money. It is the same in St Louis. So many big offers have been made for Hornsby that this player is beginning to believe that there are several teams which cannot get along without him and he will be more per- sistent than ever about forcing his claim TOT a threeyear contract at 10000 a year. f
 The action of the Philadelphia and Chicago clubs in carrying out their big deals is in direct violation of the ad- wee of President. 2. Tener who point ed out to the club owners at the meet ing here last week the folly of making sale of star players in such unsettled times, and although both Baker and Weegham apparently approved of President TeneTs suggestions while they changed their minds immediately after leaving the secret chamber. for they agreed on the terms of the lex ander-Kihfer sale a short time after leaving the National League meeting.

PRIVATE JERRY WARD
 DISMISSED FROM SERVICE.
Negro Who Shot Carpenter at Camp
 in District of Columbia.


 Washington Dec c5.-Private Jerry Ward, attached to Company A, First Separate battalion of negro troops. of the district national guard, has been sentenced to dismissal from the ser vice and three years at hard labor for killing Andrew J. Cooper. an aged car penter, at the quartermaster training camp here last Oct 1e.
 The verdict of the courtmartial was disapproved as inadequate by Briga- dier General Eli D. Hoyle, command ing the eastern department but the court refused to amend it, and General Hoyle finally approved it. he said, only in order that the soldier should not escape well deserved punishment.
 Cooper. in going to work at the camp, tried to enter by a short cut instead of through the main gate, and ii was in evidence at the trial that Ward. who was on guard duty, knock ed him down an embankment and when he started up again shot and killed him. The court held the act was involuntary manslaughter under the articles of war.

MAKING OF HERZoG
 UP TO- MANAGER
With Right Manager He Would Rival 'Co!fins-TemperentuaIiy Unsuited For Contract With MeGrsw.

-t Temperament, some of 'en call if.
 Maybe it is = and then again, may be you might say a mules general attitude toward life was caused by
 Anyway discussion of tefnpera = ment leads to consideration Of the latest move of Charles Lincoln Her zog, second baseman and field cap tain of the New York Giants. who says he vii! not play ball with Mo Graw.
 Now anyone who knows McGraw and knows Herzog can figure where the men are bound to clash.
 McGraw will not brook any inter ball club. He is manager, the highest paid manager in baseball, and he in- tends to be manager.
 Herzog has a very high estimation of his own ability as ballplayer and having managed the Cincinnati Reds made it pretty hard for him to buckle down to the autocr2tic czardom of McGraw.
 Herzog is wonderful mechanical player. He is quick. brilliant think Herzog is of that peculiar type which may be either beneficial or detriment- al to his cflfb. If everything is going eood and Herzog is feeling fine, well and good, he is out there doing every thing he cAr do for his club, working, breaks go bad. and he assumes just the opposite role
 Perhaps there is a. manager who can handle Herzog. Maybe Mathew- son could do it Handling him means more than getting just mechanical right with his teammates, which is the most difficult side of the problem. If this manager can be found Her zog win rival Eddie Collins.

 This is one of the mildest winters we have ever had, said the major in charge or inc weather branch of the high command, and from d, military standpoint the weather conditions are of the highest importance both for our troops. and( particularly, in their ef- feet on the enemy's transportation of supplies and troops"
 The. entire area of the present fight ing in the Brenta valley is free from snow and the weather is very mild. This is the valley where the Austrian route brings supplies and troops from Trent to the Asiago and Brenta fronts. Between the Brenta and Piave rivers, which is the principal region of the fighting, Monte Grappa, which usually has four to six feet of snow, now has only from ten to twelve inches on the southern slopes. The temperature is from to F degrees below zero Centi- grade (23 to 10.4 degrees Fah~enheit,)
 Montes Asolone. Pertica and Sola- rolo, where the heaviest fighting has occurred in the last few days, have only a few inches. It varies from three to five inches and seldom lasts. owing to the nnildness. In the foothills there is osnoW and the temperature is al ways above freezing.

FOOTBALL CLAIMS 13.
Nine of Victims Came from High School EIevens-No College Players on List.

High school students led other vic t.ms in football casualties, Of the IS victims of the great college game for 1917 being high school youths.
 Not a college football player was numbered in the victims
 Of the other four one was a mem Der of a navy yard team, two belonged 70 college freshmen teams and one was a professional player.
 ., The IS deaths this year. while not setting a new low record, showed that the danger in the game has been low ered,t as it is estimated 50 per cent more football has been played this year than ever before, the increase being caused by games at army camps. It is of interest to note that of all the thousands who played football at can comments and camps there was only one casualty, that at the Charleston navy yard already mentioned
 The lowest number of deaths. from football during a season was in 1911 when a dozen casualties were recorded Last year there were IT victims. The other figures ranged from IS in 1907 to g in 1909
 The following deaths resulted from football during the 1917 season:

RUPERT TRIED TO BRING
 SISLER TO NEW YORK
Wanted Sisier, Pratt and Lavan in Ex- change for Nunamaker, Peckinpaush and Few More Yankees.

Col Jacob Ruppert, president of the Yankees, on his return from French Lick Springs, Ind, revealed some of the inner working of the big deal he tried to swing at the American league meet ing in Chicago last week. when h., attempted to bring George Sisler. Ty Cobbs leading rival and logical suc- cessor, Derren Pratt, the famous St. van to New York in a wholesale swap involving Pipp. Peckinpangh, Nuna- makers, MaiSel Gedeon and the pick of the New York pitchers.
 Twas greatly disappointed at our inability to put that Sisler-Pratt- Lavan deal over.' said Ruppert. It would have been a great exchange for the Yankees. Sisier would be. great card in New York At one time it looked as though we could really put moment Ball refused to go through with it, fearing the conseq uences.
 T believe we could have made the big trade but for the banning handed posing of such players as Alexander, Kilifer, Strunk Schang and Bush. Sisler Is perhaps the greatest ball player St. Louis ever had, and Ball at last moment feared the criticism which might be levied at him if he let Sisler go. especially after what hap pened to tn Philadelphia club owners.
 Would Have Helped Ciubs
 
 The deal we proposed would have been different, in view Of the fact that we were not offering Bal cash, but real ball players, including Roger Peckinpaugh, as fine a shortstop as IS in baseball today, and Pipp, a great fielder and cleanup hitter. and the pcik of our pitchers. Sisler is ono of the few first basemen who could take Pipp's place I still think it would have been a fine deal for both clubs.
 'Huggins still is in St Louis doing his best to land Pratt, and hope he dwiA be able to announce something offer after offer for Pratt, but think sooner of later we win be able to strike bargain.
