A medical corps sergeant, home on a furlough, relates some amusing in cidents of army hospital life. He tells in particular of one soldier, with an undisguised "streak of yellow", who feigned sickness in order to re- main in the hospital, thinking that so long as he was in the hospital he would not have to fight. The doctors could find nothing wrong with him
 and were at a loss to know what to do. Finally, one hit upon the bright idea of soaring the soldier out of the institution and ordered that his chest be painted three times day with a
 seven per cent. solution of iodine. Aft CT a few treatments it was expected
 that he would prefer the trenches. Imagine the surprise of the sergeant

FEWER PLAYERS
FAVORED BY EBBETS
Policy of Some Managers to Car.
ny Extra Players Not Wise.
Present Conditions in Baseball Make
Such Movement Imperative il
Game Is to Be Kept Alive
Cut Down Limit.

President Ebbets Of the Brooklyn
club favors a cutting of the player
limit in the National league to 16 or
Is men. He says present conditions in
baseball make such movement imper.
ative if the game is to be kept alive.
"Twenty years ago National league
teams carried IA, 10 or 16 players and
still provided the public with good
sport" said Ebbets. "If / am not in
error, the Brooklyns, when they won
the pennant in 1900, were composed Of
IA men-three pitchers, two catchers,
five infelders and three outfielders.
The schedule that year called for 13e
games. The practice of carrying az
many as 80 players, nowadays, is abb
Surd. There are too many pitchers,
extra f1elders and pinch hitters. Some
teams are able to put in left-handed hit
ters against right-handed pitchers and
the reverse whenever they feel like it,
'Clubs that are keeping six infield4
ers or outfelders, together with eigh.
or nine pitchers, are not willing to aiG
clubs that are short of material. Bus
if the player limit is reduced to 16 or
10 men, at least 80 capable players will
be available. 1 do not mean that the
weak clubs should get players for
nothing. They should be made to pay
a fair price. But under prese4t condi-
tons, which have become alarming be-
cause of the many players already
taken in the selective draft, the Ma
tional league must act quickly. Cut
down the player limit and make the
pennant race more evenly balanced
That is a commOn-sense move, and 1
believe that other club owners in our
league will agree with me-"

had. An intense bombardment of the
enemys lines had commenced. The
roar of the guns was deafening.
Lloyd's fears came back with a rush,
and he covered on the earthen floor
with his hands over his face.
The sentry, seeing his position, came
in and tried to cheer him by talking to
him:
"Never mind them guns, boy, they
won't hurt you. They are ours. We
are giving the Boches a dose of their
own medicine. Our boys are going over
the top at dawn of the morning to take
their trenches. Well give 'em a taste
of cold steel with their sausages and
beer. You just sit tight now until they
relieve you. I'll have to go now, lad,
as it's nearly time for my relief, and
don't want them to see me a-talkin'
with you. So long, laddie, cheerO."
With this, the sentry resumed the
pacing of his post. In about ten min
utes time he was relieved, and D
company man took his place.
Looking into the guardhouse, the
sentry noticed the covering attitude Of
Lloyd and, with a sheer, said to him:
Instead of whimpering in that cor
ner, you ought to be saying your pray
ers. It's bally conscripts like you
what's spoilin' our record. We've been
out here nigh onto eighteen months,
and you're the first man to desert his
post. The whole battalion is laughin'
and pOkin' fun at D company, bad
luck to you but you won't get another
chance to disgrace us. They'll put
your lights out in the mOrnin'."

Why some ball players maintain al

heard the players side they would
understand. Christy Mathewson, one
time in a checker game in which he

does not always answer queries put to
him by fans while he is on the ball
field.
