In August, 1917, after
bringing down one of
four Hun battle planes
which he was fighting
singly, he himself was
shot down and fell from
a height Of 5000 feet
back of the enemy lines.
He Game to" a prison

a German bullet in the
roof of his mouth.
From the moment Of his
recovery he planned his
escape and his revenge.
Weeks later, when

German territory and
on a German prison
train, speeding at thirty
five miles an hour, he
jumped through an

With the wounds in his

face mutilated, his eye
closed and his ankle
sprained by the fall, he

He endured unspeak-

seventy-twO days dug

wire at the border and
passed emaciated and
three-fourths starved
into Holland and to

A Matter of Conscience
(Communicated)


discovered in Nogales new
species of conscientious OBJ

men is a prominent professional
man whose assessment to the
war welfare~fund was fixed by
The committee at $4,000. The
gentleman in question refused
to pay the amount of the as
sessment and upon request, ap-
peared before the committee
and, explaining his attitude,
stated that his conscience
prompted him to pay not more
than $500 and that he would
not be dictated to by any com
mittee. In payment Of the $50
assessment he rendered the
committee SIS which the COM
Fmittee promptly refused.

HAVE HARD FIGHT
n. L. Race Will Not Be Joy
Jaunt for Giants.
Several Clubs Will Probably
Give McGraW Trouble.
BY JACK VEIOCK.


New York, April 5.-The National
league race is not going to be a joy
jaunt to the pennant for any one club
this year.
Instead it is very liable to develop
into one of the hottest contests the
old league has has witnessed in many
a season. 1t ought to be full of
thrills.
Last spring the giants were gener
ally rated as a club that would walk
away with thu rag. In one sense they
did, hut it is well to remember that
the Phillies were hard to shake off,
and that the Reds and Cardinals rose
from the gutter, found out they
had strength and started to use it just
too late to make McGraw lie awake
nights.
But this year it will be different
foremost among the rivals of the
Charts are the Cubs. and unless all
signs fail Fred Mitchell's outfit stands
a good chance of coping the flag.
| The fact that the Giants are practi-
cally as strong as in 1918 is no big
argument in their favor 1t is a GER
| ta1nty that they haven't the same con-
fidence-not after what happened to
them in the worlds series last fall.
Cubs Look Dangerous
| The Cubs, with real pitching staff
and more strength in other depart
ments. look stronger than they have
| looked since the days of the Chance
regime. They look good as the
| Giants right now
And it is difficult to tell what the
Reds and Cards will do. Matty has
peppery ball club at Cincinnati. His
pitching staff doesn't look d. strong
as it might be, it's true, and there are
| better infields in the National league
by whole lot, But Matty has club
that plays baseball as.one man. And
| the Cards. with Jack Hendricks to
| take up the battle where Higgins left
| off. are labelled for the first division
| Look out for them.
AS for the other four clubs there
is always the chance of a team play
ing the role of dark horse The
! much-abused Dodgers might do it,
| And the Braves, as long as Stallings
is plotting them, must be classed as a
/ club with the ability to make a lot
of trouble.
i What of Pirates?
At Pittsburg Hugh Bezdek will
| start out with a better looking club
| than the Smoky City has had for
years. And BeZdek has some pet ideas
| which may enable him to mould the
Pirates into team of dangerous citi-
zens.
Pat Moran. who has proven once
that he can perform miracles with a
team of players that look more or less
| like misfits, can scarcely nope to
| figure as a pernant contender with
| his pitching ace gone. But even the
Phils may make trouble for some
| body. They may have the Indian sign
| on some club classed as pennant
| contender and put it out of the race
AS the race sizes up at this early
date it looks like three or four
cornered battle for the pennant, with
the Giants and Cubs holding an edge
on the Cards and Reds. It ought to
be hot all the way.
