Jack O'Toole, veteran Southern
league umpire, has been laid up with
an attack of rheumatism.
Ralph Craig, who played the outfield
for Peoria last season, has been taken
on by the Sioux City club.
Chick Gandil though still somewhat
decrepit in the legs, is going good for
the White Sox, particularly with the
bat.
The award by the national board of
Pitcher Pepper Clark to Des Moines
was life saver to Jack Coffey, who
was hard up for pitchers.
President Hickey's rules against
freak pitching are clear enough and as
the decision is up to the umpires there
should be few controversies.
Portland fans have taken a great
liking to Bill Feuerborn, the first base
man secured from Salt Lake City, and
are praising him to the skies.
The Minneapolis club has released a
number of players to st. Joseph of the
Western league and those clubs pre-
sumably will work together during
the season in exchange of players.

GREAT BASE RUNNING

Arthur Fletcher, by fast sprint
ing and keen judgment, achiev-
ed a feat seldom accomplished
in baseball in a recent game at
the Polo Grounds between the
Giants and Braves by scoring
from first base on a single to
center field by Lew McCarty.
After Larry Doyle had popped
to HerZog, Fletcher singled to
deep center, after which Powell
made great catch of Holke's
long drive. On the next play
McCarty dropped hit in center
field between Powell and Wick
land and Fletcher, who started
with the pitchers throw, scored
all the way from first. 1t was a
great piece of base running, the
equal of which seldom has been
seen on any ball field in the ma
jor leagues.

Much Satisfaction to Car Owner
to Know lust Why His
Starter Won't Work.
HYDROMETER USED FOR TEST
In Stopping Car Frequently Large
Amount of Current Is Being Used
for crankino Engine-Re-
charge Battery at Once.

When you go out to your garage In
the morning and find that for some
reason or other your starter won't
work, 1t gives you lot Of satisfac-
ton to know exactly what the trouble
is, although you may not be able your
self to remedy 1t.
IF you find that your battery has
not energy enough to turn over the
starting motor, the first thing YOU
do, naturally, is to test 1t with your
hydrometer. Nine times out of ten
YOU viii find that the trouble is
starving. The hydrometer will i'm
fallibly uncover this condition, for in
stead of registering 1880 to 1900, as
it would If the battery We're fully
charged, 1t will register below 1920.
What Causes Trouble.
All right. You've discovered that
your battery is starved. But going
back Il step farther, what causes
it to be starved? How did 1t come
about that the battery which is to
supply you with energy and to spare
for starting and lighting gets into n
condition that it has not power
enough for either one of these
thingsY
How are you running your carr
If you are running II in the city,
short distances, stopping frequently,
you are using a large amount of cur
rent for cranking the engine without
giving the generator chance to re-
store to the battery power enough to
offset this drain.
While it is impossible to state just
how much the car should be run to
keep the battery In a fully charged
| condition, this much can be said
Every time you crank your engine the
battery for few moments Is put
ting forth two horse power of en-
ergy.
Battery Wears Out.
Very obviously If 1t is called upon
to do this long at a time or at too
frequent intervals, it is not going to
! be long before the battery Is exhaust
ed If, however, the machine Is run
a considerable distance at fair rate
hour, the generator gets chance to
restore energy to the battery and the
| dangers of starving are reduced in that
| proportion.
Some days, perhaps, in testing
your battery you find one cell or two
cells show the normal reading, but
the third shows a very low reading
/ This can only be interpreted In one
way the entire battery is in poor con
dition. The fact that two cells sho"
higher reading than the third is
merely accidental. The fact at the
bottom of the whole thing is this
The measure of energy in the dis
charged cell is very probably the
measure of energy of the whole bat
terry. In such case the battery
should be recharged at once at the
battery service station.

HEAPS AND PILES
OF DEAD GERMANS
Mr.. A. M. Dunlap.

Mr.. A. M. Dunlap.
Dear Father was delighted to
get long letter from you today and
one from mother yesterday. I can't
tell you how much good your letters
do me, and the good part of it is,
you write often. / am taking advan-
tage of our little rest spell here in
the woods and am trying to write to
all of you. Well, the war and home
people are the main topics of the
day over here, and since you know
more about the home people than l
do, l will just tell you all know
about my part in this big game. Not
many days ago we were inabig drive.
We began throwing the barrage about
midnight and continued until 5 in
the morning, then the dough boys
went over AS usual, they met with
some little resistance, but on they
went in true American style, and if
the officers had not stopped them, l
suppose they would be in Berlin now.
Late in the evening we were called
on to advance and give support to
the dough boys. Well, of all the
sights-I never want to see such
again. The Germans lay dead all
over the ground and there were some
of our boys there, too, and do you
know that all the Americans who
were killed were going toward Ber-
lin and did you know that the Ger
mans are going the same way.
We had some trouble with machine
guns-for instance, in one woods
there were lot of German machine
guns, and all were on the ground,
but in trees the Germans had lot
of cans with an electric machine
which when the button was pressed
by the German gunner on the ground,
would make noise like a machine
gun, and in that way our boys could
not tell where the fire came from,
consequently a number of our boys
were killed, but Fritz is on his way.
and we know that it won't be many
more months before Bill must yell,
"Kamerad"
The Germans will stand and fight
you with machine guns all day, but
they cant stand the sight of a bayo-
net in the hands of an American
dough boy. They show the yellow
every time. They are SO dirty they

crossing the p0nd. Inc SUBS may
get us, but they won't scare us. We
are in a twelve-day convoy. 1t
seems queer to travel twelve days
at the rate of thirteen knots without
seeing land. 1t is hard for me to
believe that Columbus crossed in a
sail boat. We carry 1000 soldiers.
You people there might think the
boys hate to go, but they do not.
They all seem anxious to get to the
front and do their part. They are
not quite so cheerful when they get
out to sea and the sea gets rough.
When the sea is rough is when you
are attacked with sea-sickness. If
there ever is time in life when you
had as soon be dead as alive, it is
when you are sea-sick. / know by
experience.
We bring wounded soldiers back
some without legs, some without
arms. They are happy no matter how
badly wounded they are. They all
like to tell how many Huns they
killed. 1t sure is sorrowful sight
to see them on crutches and stretch
ers, but it only makes the rest of US
more determined to wipe the muir
derers off the map, which we will
do if Mr.. Wilson will only give us
the time, and we will make a good
job of it, too. We cannot fail, for
our fathers, mothers and friends
have too much confidence in us.

the Y. M. C. A. Both are wonderful.
They give us good books to read and
they do many other things for us too
to mention.
The boys of the navy want the
world to know that we are not only
lodging submarines, but are buying
Liberty Bonds as well. I saw spe-
cial statement saying the navy alone
far more than $4O,OOO,OOO
worth of bonds. Wonder what the
kaiser thinks of that.
Although we have many hard con-
flicts to go through, we will face
them all with true hearts and strong
determination as long as we feel that
our nation is behind us. If anyone
has anything to fight for, l think it
is the American boys, who represent
the best country in the world.
We have the best of medical at
,ention and good, warm clothes, so
10 not bother about US, dear friends,

will do anything. We had a hospi-
tai up near the front and in it were
a great number of boys who had
been blinded by mustard gas. Late
the evening a German plane came
over and spotted the hospital. He
could not have been mistaken in
what it vast was too we'll marked
for that. He went back and in a
few minutes the Germans began to
shell it, and l shall never forget the
sight as the Red Cross boys tried to
lead the blind ones out of it. You
could see them fall in shell holes, in
cold water, anywhere out of the way;
some were too far gone to move, so
they just prayed and asked some
body to help.
In another place machine gun
had been firing on some Red Cross
workers, so the boys went to capture
it and when they got in a few feet
of it, woman got up and laid bare
her breast and asked for mercy I'M
the name of womanhood.
What do you suppose she got?
Well, that is what 'Kultur" is, and
when "Kultur" is banished from the
face of the earth I will be home to
see you all.
