BY JACK vEIOCK-


New York May 15.-Three out

for regular Jobs.
And the strange part of it is that
the three were former team mates in
the miaor leagues.
Joe Kelly who once had a fling
with the White Sox, and later played
with the Pirate5 auG Cubs, is one OF
the trio Rabbit Powell, secured from
Providence last season by Manager
Stallings, is the second and Al Wick

Out west some seven years ago Eel
ley and Powell were team mates at
St Joseph Mo, under John Holland
They played the outfield together and
played it like flashes But later they
became separated. and finally Powell
drifted into the International league,
while Kelly landed at Indianapolis.
where he became a team mate of
Wickland after the Feds broke up.
Wickland was a member of the Chi
cagoFeds before joining the Indian
apolis club under Jack Hendricks
So Kelly has been a team mate of
both his rival outfielding recruits
and it would be hard to find a speed

lads. Wickland has shared the for

coots-though still in our forties and not altogether blind to a pretty face and yet the oldest people on the boat. Even the altruistic side of war is the game of youth.
 The Eager Soul
 Perhaps it is the other way around, and maybe youth is the only game in the world worth playing and that the gains of youth, service and success and follies and failures, are only the chips and counters. We were brought to these conclusions more or less by a young person, a certain Miss Ingersoll, or perhaps her name only sounded like that; for we called her the Eager Soul. And she was pretty girl, too-Amer- ican pretty: Red hair-lots of blowy, crinkly red hair that was always threatening to souse her face and ears; blue eyes of the serious kind and a colour that gave us the impression that she did exercises and could jab a punching bag. Indeed before we met her. we began betting on the number of hours it would take her to tell us that she took cold plunge every morning. Henry expected the state ment on the second day; as a matter of fact it came late on the first day. She was that kind. But there was nc foolishness about her. She was a nurse-a Red Cross nurse, and she made it clear that she had no illusions about men; we suspected that she had seen them cut up and knew their in- nermost secrets! Nevertheless she was tremendously interesting, and because she, too, was from the middle west and possibly because she realized that

And people living in New York or Boston, or Philadelphia Out not Chi cago, for half of the people there have just come to town and the other half is just ready to leave town) may not un- derstand this story. For in some re- spects New York is larger than Wichita and Emporia; but not so much larger; for mere numbers of population amount to little. There is always an angle ot the particular from which one can see it as a part of the universal and seen properly the finite is always infinite. And that brings us back naturally to Henry and me, looking out at the scur- rying stars in the ocean as we hurried through the black night on the good ship ESpagne. We had just folded away a fine Sunday dinner, a French Sunday dinner, beginning with onion soup which was strange; and as omin- ous of our journey into the Latin world as blast of trumpets opening a Wag merriam overture. Indeed that onion soup was threaded through our whole trip like motif. Our dinner that night ended in cheese and everything. It was our first meal aboard the boat. During two or three courses, we had considered the value of food as a two way commodity-going down and con- ing up-but later in the dinner we or dered our food on it's merits as a one way luxury, with small thought as to it's other uses. So we leaned against the rail in the night and thought large thoughts about Wichita and Emporia
 Defenseless Combatants
 Here we were, two middle-aged men, nearing fifty years. going out to a ruthless war without our wives. We had packed our own valises at the hotel that very morning in fear and tremb- ling. We realized that probably we were leaving half our things in closets and drawers and were taking the wrong things with us, and checking the right things in our trunks at our ho- tels in New York. We had some dis cussion about our evening clothes, and on a toss-up had decided to take our tails and leave our dinner coats in the trunks But we didn't know why we had abandoned our dinner coats. We had no accurate social knowledge of those things. Henry boasted that his

 One evening, looking back at the le vel floor of the ocean stretching ll- limitably into the golden sunset. he mused "They have a fine country here, You kind of like the lay of it. and there is plenty of nice slightly real estate about-it's gently rolling country. uneven and something like College Hill in Wichita, but there's got to be a lot of money spent draining it; you can tell that at glance, if the fellow gets anywhere with his proposi-

 A time always comes in a voyage when men and women begin to step out as individuals. from the mass. With us it was the Red Cross stenographers and the American ambulance boys who first ceased being ladyships and lord ships and took their proper places in the cosmos They were gay lot-and young. And human nature is human nature. So the decks began to clutter up with boys and girls intensely in- terested in exploring each others lives. 1t is after all the most wonderful game in the world And while the chaperon fluttered about more or less, trying to shoo the girls off the dark decks at night, and while public opinion on the boat made eminently proper rules against young women in the smoking room, still young blood did have its way, which really is a good way; bet ter than we think, perhaps. who look back in cold blood and old blood. And by the token of our years it was brought to us that war is the game oi youth. We were two middle-aged old

We leased her more or less about a young doctor of the Johns Hopkins unit who sometimes hovered over her deck chair and a certain Gilded Youth-every boat-load has it's Gilded Youth-whose father was pres;r dent of so many industrial concerns. anu the vice-president of so many banks and trust companies that it was hard to look at the boy without blinking at his gliding. Henry was betting on tho Giided Youth, so the young doctor fell to me. For the first three or four days during which we kept fairly close tab on their time, the Doctor had the Gilded Youth beaten two hours to one

wife had taught him a formula that would work in the matter of white or black ties with evening clothes. But 1t was all complicated with white vests and black vests and sounded like a corn remedy; yet it was the only sar- torial foundation we had And there we were with land out of sight, with out light visible on the boat, standing in the black of night leaning over the rail, looking at the stars in the water, and wondering silently whether we had packed our best cuff buttons, with which to harry our foes," or whether we might have to win the war in our SIPS uniforms, and we both thought and admitted our shame, that our wives would think we had been eX- travagant in putting so much money into these uniforms. The admirable French dinner which we had just en- veloped, seemed thousand miles away. It was a sad moment and our thoughts turned naturally to home.
