only partly used and d few days later

Much has been written regarding the
wonderful work Of the American engi-
neers in France both at the bases of the
United States army and along the
many connecting lines which hook up
the front lines with the sources Of
supply. There Is, however, another
side to their activity which is just as
praiseworthy, especially as it is
gratuitous and done after ordinary
working hours. 1t is the preparing of
fields or enclosures for the soldier ath-
letes and without which it would be
impossible to hold many Of the games
and contests.

REALIZED HE WAS THROUGH
When Willie Keller Could Not Beat
Out Perfect Blunt He Saw End
Of His Career.

Willie Keller, the greatest place hit
ter in baseball, realized he was at the
end Of his long career when he failed
to beat out perfect bunt in game
against the Maps three years ago.
"Some Of the players noticed Keller
was slowing up, but no one ever said
anything to him about Il" said Neal
Ball, who was with the Yankees be-
fore he became Nap.
Zone day Willie rolled bunt down
the third base line. It was as pretty
bunt as 1 ever saw. Bill Bradley
came in like a shot, got the ball with
one hand and threw Keller out at first.
willie had funny look when he
came back to the bench. Not word
was spoken until finally Willie said:
Boys, I guess my time has come.
When Willie Keller can't beat out a
perfect bunt he knows he's through"

THREE-MINUTE SHOWER BEST
Harold Kruger, Champion Swimmer,
Says Do Not Stay Under Water
for Long Period.

sDo not stay under the shower too
long" That is the expression used
many times by Harold Kruger, worlds
champion in the 100-yard back stroke,
when In training. Kruger is swim
mer, an oarsman and an all-around
athlete.
According to Kruger more than five
minutes under the shower saps your
strength.
According to the backstroke cham
pion, the athlete should turn on the
warm water first, and three minutes
with soap is enough. Cold water
stimulates all the vital activities by its
effect upon the nervous system. Kru-
ger says that after the shower the ath-
lete should take a good rub with a
coarse towel, until the skin fairly

NOT POLITE TO TIP PRINCE
John Madden, Horse Breeder and
Trainer, Gives His Opinion OF
Prince of Wales.

When John e. Madden, the noted
breeder and trainer Of race horses,
was in England some years ago, he
was on visit to Charlie Mitchell.
who was training for his fight with
John L. Sullivan that was held in
France, when the prince Of Wales,
later Edward VII of England. walked
into the training quarters. Mitchell,
who was well acquainted with the
prince, introduced Madden to him. and
a rioment later, as the prince saun-
tered away, Mitchell said to the famous
hor7eman:
''Vell. what do you think Of him,
JohnY
"He's all right" was Madden's re-
ply. Hes the first man I've met in
England that didn't expect to tip"
The prince overheard the remark
and told the story on himself to all HIS
friends with great delight.

Ypres.
In the salient of Ypres there are not
less than one hundred thousand

marked by plain wooden crosses, some
times obliterated by the debris Of
ruined trenches, sometimes hidden in

Richard Butler Glaenzer, New York
essayist and critic, at the Players

DesoIate Pasture as Site.
A rocky uneven and generally DESC
late pasture was selected as the only
possible place upon which a ball park
could be built. The physical director
thought that possibly, after a years
work, something might be made of it.
That was before he knew the engi-
neers well. 1t took just three days to
"skin" off the field, level it, roll it and
put it in condition for play, even to
the building Of fine wire netting
backstop and marking out Of the foul
lines with flags.
Place for Boxing.
With the baseball field in operation
it was decided to promote boxing. The
drawback was that there was no place
to stage bouts except the floor of the
hut, and the men who wanted to read
or write wouldn't stand for that. Again
the sergeant was consulted. In three
days he had put up near the hut as
good a ring as ever held champion
ship bout.

"Service."

That has been the message of the
uniform to us. 1t was the badge OF
service. 1t samed us into unselfish-
ness. In every coat of blue or of
olive drab was lad who might per-
ish from torpedo or shrapnel. He was
a living sacrifice to the safety of the
rest of us. Thoughtful people could
not look on one Of these handsome
young men without inwardly wonder
ing whether he would be spared, or
how badly he would be wounded. Such
thoughts discourage meaner emotions.

Mars and take the chance that the ath-
letes would come through the big bat
tie for democracy in such condition
that they could hop back into base
ball and play the game with their old
time dash and finish.
But Stallings, w. e. Hapgood ct al.
were just as smart as those other base
ball magnates and kept their clutches
on Hank and Rabbit. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion that the Braves "were
hard up" and would sell these assets.
But it was mistake, and the Braves
of 1919, possibly Of 1920, will reap the
advantage of Stallings' far-sightedness.

and none Of the townspeople
was allowed to attend the game.
Aside from the pilots who drove
the machines, the only specta-
