Maunates Not Sure OF Holding Stan

Holes May BE Seen in Line

Major league club owners are not
at all sure of holding players within

season.

for the government to get them there,

Such players as Benny Kauff, Al
Mamaux, Ray Chapman, Red Faber,
Grover Cleveland Alexander and
George Burns may be wearing khaki
instead of big league uniforms by mid
summer And there is no use under
estimating the extent that the loss Of
their services would amount to-

In the case of Ray Chapman, who
may be taken from the Indians, his
going would wreck Lee FohpS in6eld
One Of the best shortstoppers in the
business. Chapmap's presence on the
Cleveland inner circle is imperative to
give it balance. Without him the In
dian infield would be like a boat with
out a rudder.
The White Sox could Ill afford to
lose the services of Red Faber, who Is
being depended on to win many games
for them this season, and should the
Cubs lose Alexander his shoes could
not possibly be filed.
While AL Mamaux is somewhat OF
an experiment for the Dodgers, Uncle
Robby Is counting heavily on him to
come back and star as the headliner OF
the Brooklyn staff so if he goes Brook
Ign will suffer.
There are a good many other play
ers whose status is not definite. Soma
of them could be spared well enough
but others are badly needed. So the
magnate is getting ready to open the
season without assurance that he can
put ball club in the field and keep
it there. The magnates, however, are
not yelping They will stand any loss
with smile and consider that it adds
to ''their bit"

BEST BACKSTOP RECORDS

A. catcher who works in at
least 100 games each season is

Wingo, each 100 games, and
Rariden, 100; American league:
Schalk and Severei5, each 139
games; O'Neill, 127, and Ain

with the colonel on little rise of

the Germans broke through about

Tanks Get Into Action.
Then the tanks came up, and you
should have seen them run Just like
Rabbits The tanks retired; the
Boches reformed and came at it
again. They tell me that at certain
places our men withstood fifteen sue
cessive attacks and that the Germans
went down in thousands. One Welsh
man told me that his gun accounted
for 70 in three minutes during one
wave.
Machine-gun bullets were nipping

night they shelled it to blazes. It was
remarkable how few casualties we
had.
About eleven o'clock the morning Of
the third day a shell blew in the side
of our post, but luckily no one was
hurt. We stuck to it until about four
in the afternoon, when we saw our
men retiring over a ridge In front Of
us, keeping up continuous machine

to another village and opened anoth-

stumbled into the shack where | was
sitting. He looked like ghost. He
had lost his hat his face was covered
with a four days beard, the sweat
had traced tracks in the dust from his
forehead to his chin. His sleeve was
torn and bloody and he had cash in
his arm where he had been struck by
a piece of flying shell case.
my God, doc, are you hereT he
said. you got out just in time. The
battalion is all gone. The sunken road
is filed with dead-mostly Huns,
damn 'em. The line broke on the
right: we were surrounded, and at
the last we were fighting back and
back. Only thirty of us got away"
So we knew the Boche had broken
through to our right and our left, and
it was question of how long it would
be before we, too, were surrounded,
but we wanted to stick it out as long
as we could.
But not more than an hour later
medical officer ruSNed in from one Of
the battalonS and between gaSpS for
breath told US the Germans were on
the edge of the village, had shot him
through the sleeve with a machine
gun bullet luckily that was alD, and
for us to beat it.
The ninth day, sitting around the
fire in our mess after the best dinner
we had had in days, the commanding
officer handed me some papers and
said "Here is something that will in
terest you, Petit. l want to say we
shall be sorry to lose you"
And this is what it was: Lieut..

Headaches are Natures danger signals. Find out what is the trouble. Cure that and you won't have any more headaches. Most headaches come from indigestion. Bowels fail to act properly. Poisons ac- cumulate in the body. The blood be- comes impure, and headaches and more serious troubles naturally follow.
 H. s. Cope, a glass molder at Alton Park, Tenn, says that he suffered con- stantly from headaches, but that Yin Hepatica restored him to health so that he was able to go back to work.
 All such headaches are stopped by Yin Hepatica, the great Nature medicine and universal system purifier. It contains eight herbal remedies which tone up tho bowels and kidneys, purify the blood and thus make that kind of headaches inn possible.
