what l like about the Salvation
Army is that it doesn't cater to Of
ficers. 1t is for the dough boys
first, last and all the time. The
Salvation Army men do not wear
Sam Browne belts; they do as little
Misunderstanding with officers as posi-
BILE.
They cash the boys checks with
out question, and during the month
of April in a certain division the
Salvation Army sent home $40, 900
for the soldiers. The Rockefeller
Foundation hasn't as yet given the
Salvation Army million dollar do
nation to carry on its work. Fact
is, don't knowjust how the Saliva
tion chaplains and lassies do get
along. But get along they do.
perhaps some of the boys and
officers give them a lift now and
then when the shedding is rough.
They don't aim to make a slight
profit as do some other orgaDiza-
tons.
Ever since Cornelius Hickey
put up "Hickey's hut" the first Sal
walton Army Hut in France, they
have been working at loss. l saw
an American officer give Salvation
Army chaplain 500 francs, a hun
'dred dollars, out of his pay at GER
tain small town in France recently.
THE work done in "Hickey's
Hut" did much to endear the Saliva
ton folks to the doughboys. When
a letter arrived in France some
months ago addressed only to
"Hickey's Hut" France, it reached
its destination toute de suite, forty
eight hours after it arrived.
1.-The French climate has hit our
boys hard. 1t is wet and penetrat-
ingly cold. Goes right to the mar
row, and three suits of underwear
are no protection against it. When
the lads returned from training
camp or the trenches, wet, cold,
hungry and respondent they found
welcome in "Hickey's Hut
Not patronizing, holier.than-
thou, we-know-we-are -doing- good
neutrality-suspicious. sap
preciate it sort of welcome, but a
good old Salvation Army Bowery
Mission welcome such as Tim SuMi-
van knew how to hand out in the
old days.
Around warm fire with men
who spoke their own language and
who did not pretend to be above
them in the social scale the dough-
boys forgot that they were 1900
miles from home and that they
couldn't sling the lingo"
Pay With Names
Il saw group of lads on the
Montdidier front who had not been
paid in three months standing ours
ing their luck outside certain or
ganization's canteen. They had no
money, therefore they could not buy
anything.
"The Salvation Army had been
appraised by telegraph that the
doughboys were playing in hard
luck. Presto! Out from Paris came
truck loaded with everything to
eat and smoke. The truck was un-
loaded and the boys paid for what
ever they wanted with slips of
paper as if they were Uncle Sam S
gold.
When that truck arrived one of
the lads saw a Salvation Army
lassie going to we'll for water. He
stood stock still and eyed her from
her French Fatigue hat TO her rub
Der boots. Then
n Are you an American woman, =
he dem anded.
She nodded and smiled.
"Then for Gods sake say some
thing" he hoarsely entreated. 4
amt seen an American woman for
three months"

Chicago Girls Serve
Coffee and Pie
BY ROBERT S. DoMEN

Shelled by day and night. living
IN water filled dug-outs in the
American first lines, eight Ameri-
can women, Salvation Army work
ers, went through the German at
tack on the American forces near
Montdidier on April 80. Smeared
from head to foot with mud, which
chung in clods to their rubber boots,
the women finally staggered back to
little. village behind the American
lines on May 1st.
They were the same women who
rode $50 miles on Army trucks and
caissons from the Roul front to the
Montdidier front, which the Ameri-
can troops took over at the height
of the German attack upon Amiens.
American army officers speak with
tears in their eyes of the work these
Salvation Army women have done
and are doing.
Stick to Posts
when our boys came back
through the German barrage, which
played night and day upon the
roads near Crivesnon, said an
American officer, they were met by
these fearless women, who served
them hot cocoa and coffee and hand
ed out American-made doughnuts
and pies to the lads.
At O'Clock each morning in a
week when the rain poured down
and soaked both troops and women,
these Salvation Army workers stuck
! to their posts near the front line
trenches. They met every ammu-
milton train going to the trenches
and every company of men coming
out. They met the bandaged
walking wounded along the roads
swept by shell fire and ministered
to their needs.
"They built fires in dugouts in
| the battle zone and warmed the
rain-soaked troopers; they kept
their cauldrons of cocoa constantly
we'll filled and they baked dough
nuts and pies in reliefs, day and
night. No wonder the Buddies
the Sammies, the Yanks, the Jacks
swear by the Salvation Army from
one end of France to the other"
For five days preceding the attack
the eight Salvation Army women tc
whom Pie Lopes refers were not
able to come up out of their dugout
except at brief intervals during the
day. During most of the day they
slept or worked in relays. In the
early morning hours all came up tc
do their work before the dawn made
them and the American troops and
truck trains visible to the enemy.
Take Biz Chances
Said an old regular army officer
who returned to Paris last week: Il
wish every American who has stood
on street corners in America and
sneered at the work of the Salvation
Army could see what they are doing
for the boys in France.
They do not proclaim that they
are here for investigation or for
getting atmosphere for war ro'
mances.' They have not come to
furnish material for Broadway press
agents. They do not wear, oh,
such becoming uniforms white
shoes, dainty blue caps and bonnets
nor do they frequent Paris tea rooms
where the swanky British and
American officers put up
Lapsing into the slang of his men
the officer said: Take it from me,
these women are doing almighty
fine work. There are q of them
here in France. We army men have
given them shell-shattered and cast
off field kitchens to work with, and
Oh, man, the doughruts, the pan
cakes and the pies they turn out!

The track team of the Glencoe Ath-

able campaign since its organization.
twelve years ago, during the season of
1917. A total of 214 points was scored
in open competition, a figure that eS-
ceeded those of former years by many
points. This was accomplished with
out the help Of several of the best run-
ners, who had Joined the colors.
During the course of the wear the
club had the honor of greeting two
champions. These were Frederick G..
Teschner and William Rosenberg. re

Waddell Pulled
Feat Alexander
Might Balk AT

CHICAGO. Jan. 12.--There was dis
land Alexander in local sporting
centre the other afternoon, because it
happened that several baseball fans met
and such discussion has been quite
in order ever since President Wecgh-
man, of the Cubs, announced that
Grover has become one of US. The gen
eral opinion Of the fans was that the
Cubs now possess one of the greatest
pitching stars of all time.
Naturally the talk brought up other
stars of the past and present and led
to the question. "Who was the creates t
pitcher OF all time? ?" A story told last
summer by Bill Dinneen, American
League umpire and former pitcher for
Boston and st. Louis, helped in solving
the question. Dinneen's story, saved for
the hot stove league, was about as fol-
lows:
"Back in 1904, the Boston club was
in hot fight for the pennant, the sea-
son was nearly over, and we were
booked in Philadelphia. 1t was Ruhe
Waddell's turn on the slab and We
needed that game. Before leaving tho
hotel we conspired to get Rube's goat
Big La Chance was playing first base
tor US and was the huskiest man on
our outfit. We decided to have La
Chance lead Rube into a friendly wres-
tling bout before the game and per
haps tire him enough so we could beat
him.
During the batting practice Rubt
was fooling out at first base and La
Chance started joshing him about fish.
ing and hunting. When an opportunity
presented itself, La Chance would give
Eube friendly shove or slap on the
back. One shove led to another a bi,
harder. and just when La Chance
thought he had the big left handler
worked up to the point of graphing
he was given the surprise Of his life
"Without giving warning, Rube
yanked off his glove, grabbed La
Chance with both hands, raised him
clear up above his head and ther
dashed him to earth in aheap.
LA Chance was barely able to PLAY
frst that day. and Ruoe shut US oui

kins. and the "nlcn who hamper the
democratic development of the game"
At meeting held at the 7th Regi-
ment Armory yesterday it was ar
ranged to postpone the annual national
indoor championship lawn tennis tour
nament for men until Saturday. March
so. with the finals set for Saturday.
April 6.
Julian S. Myrick, acting president of
the y. S. n. l.. I. A., and King Smith,
president OF the 7th Regiment Tennis
Club, arrived at this decision after
considering the matter from all angles.
Last week it was announced that tho
tourney might be cancelled, the lack
of coal to heat the big armory' being
one of the reasons advanced. 1t would
have marked the first interruption in
this tourney in the nineteen years Of
its existence, so the decision to con-
duct the event this year, even though
at later date, will be welcomed.
There are several advantages in the
new tournament date. In the first
place, there will be far better light
in the nrrnory for the players. There
will not be any question of freezing
temperature to contend against, either,
and in addition. the holding of the
tournament around Easter week will
not leave such long gap between the
indoor season and the opening OF out
door play.
Undoubtedly, there will be many of
the younger stars represented in the
national indoor tourney this year.

with the close attention shown by the
Brooklyn pastor.
There came, yesterday, a brief note
from the Rev. Fitzgerald, addressed to
MY. Ned Uawth orne," and asking us
to run q notice about the grand annual
smoker of the Presentation Club, Ber-
gen Street and Rockaway Avenue,
Brooklyn scheduled for next Wedncs-
day evening.
Now, if there is anything that warns
the cookies Of our heart it is to be
called "Ned." 1t sounds so free and
easy, SO democratic, so hail-fellow- WE'LL
met. Frederick, Fred and Freddy seem
commonplace in comparison. If the
Rev. Fitzgerald had addressed us by
any one of the last three monickers we
would not have paid SO much attention
to his request. But as it is, who are
we to resist NED?
We proceed: "On Tuesday evening,
January Is, the Presentation Club Of
Brooklyn will conduct its grand annual
smoker at the clubhouse, on Bergen
Street and Rockaway Avenue. In past
years this affair has always come up
to expectations, and this year prom
ises TO be no exception. Tho arrange
ment committee, which has been busy
for some time, has succeeded in pro-
curing the services of many notables
in both boxing and wrestling circles.
From present indications this will be
the biggest show that the club has ever
put on. The special feature this year
will be the picture of the Mccoy
O'Dowd fight. Between the bouts there
will be offered singing and vaudeville
acts. Among others who will appear
are Bull Montana Helmar Johnson,
Gunboat Smith, Harry Pierce, Bob
Rush and frankie Callahan"
There it is, just as the Rev. Fitzger-
ale wrote it, and it looks like a good
show
