Critics Watch
lack Hendricks
(Ry Associeted Press. }

st. Louis, Mo-, May 11.-No person
in the major leagues, perhaps, has
been so closely watched by recognized
baseball critics thus far this season
as has Jack Hendricks, who. after IL
years of successful plotting in the
minor leagues, came to the st. Louis
Nationals this year as manager.
What are his tactics? What meth
DDS does he pursue to win? Is he a.
czar or is he gentle? Iss he a good
loser2 Will his men work for him?
These are only-a few OF the questions
that have bene asked, and tho first
days of the season have seen most of
them answered. --.. stH..
Hendricks let 1t be known at the
start OF tho season that he is not the
one to refuse suggestions He re-
serves final judgment for himself, but
players who venture to tell their man
ager what should be done under GER
tain circumstances are not rebuked-
for Hendricks is not a car. He real
lies that he is new to the league, that
he is practically unacquainted with
the players and the strategy opposing
him and he has asked that there be
no modesty among his men.
Nor is Hendricks the type OF man
ager who drives his players. Steady
as to composure, quick-thinking he
refuses to ride" his men FOR mis-
plays. This does not mean that he is
not critical, for he tells every man of
his mistakes and impresses him with
the fact that he doesn't wish them
repeated.

There is no doubt but the war will
affect the boxing game in America
In another six months most of our
leading boxers. who are not already
in the service In some capacity, will
go to join the colors. There will be
few others left aside from the vet
erans who are over the draft age
the youngsters who are coming up
and the usual scattered array of Sec
ond and third raters.
It isn't to be presumed that these
boys will be able to keep the Amer
lean public's appetite keyed UP to its
normal edge. Before the war Aus
tralia was the center Of foreign box
ing. Today the game is practically
dead there. In France there is no
boxing. highlands ring shows are
limited to club performances. But

Gets Duaout For Quarters.
1--WE arrived at our destination. on
the front line just before noon and I
was given a dugout for my quarters.
It was about six feet wide and ten
feet long and dug in the ground with
board floor and bunk along one
end of 1t and had a little French
stove and strange as it may seem,
an electric light. 81
when we arrived there were num-
erous shells going over our heads
but not near us and we could hear
the occasional hum OF machine guns
so I was introduced to the firing of
the trenches rather gradually. Noon
day meal on the French dejeuner
was served shortly after got there
in the officers mess which was aIlP

larger than the ordinary one and IL

the meal. I sat down at the right

sector, and we sure had q delight

Gives Toast To France.
1.-TWO of the officers could talk
English, and could talk little
French, so we got along nicely At
the close of the meal the colonel, In
honor Of an American officer being
present, had all the officers stand
and he extended me a welcome to-
their trenches and also proposed a
toast to the American soldier. I, of
course, had to reply and told them
that the whole American people were
glad to send an army to La Belle"
France, mot only because we felt
that our own civilization was in the
balance, but also because our peo-
pie remembered the help that France
had given US by sending her troops
and ships to us in the Revolutionary
war.
1--WE had been discussing at the
meal the report received that day
that Boche had invented a gun that
was shooting its shells into Paris,
100 kilometers away. I ended my
little response to them by saying that
even IF the d. Boche had invented
such a gun it was not going to dis
courage the American people, and
that they were in the war until 1t
was won.'

N~A@S& ga AVA
This is the story Of how two
American boys, sergt. Eugene No
Mfr, twenty two, of Brooklyn, N. z,
and Corp. Milo H. Plant, twenty. OF
New York city, won their French
war crosses.
1t happened during the first week
Of March. Volunteers were called
for to take part In q raiding expe-
dition which was to bring back Ger
man prisoners and gain information
about the strength OF the units oppo'
site the Irishmen's trenches. Every
one in the 165th volunteered. as was
to be expected, but only forty were
chosen.
McNtf9 was selected from Company
c, and Plant from Company D, which
Is the command of Capt Jim Nc
Kenna, the famous athlete and
lawyer. These forty, with two Off
GERS and fifty French privates, with
four Of their officers, went to a spot
ten miles behind the front lines and
for two weeks were lntensively
trained for the raid until each man
knew his part perfectly.
Eager to Meet the Enemy.
When the night OF the raid came
the boys could harry be restrained
so eager were they to get at the
enemy. The Zero hour (the time
at which they were to start) was set
for 7:40 O'Clock. Corporal Plant, who
described the raid, admitted that
everybody was a little nervous,
but only during the minutes immedi-
ately preceding the opening Of the
show" while they awaited the be-
ginning of the American barTage
which was to protect them.

planned. 1.-TWO hundred light and

I what those men did that night. Their
| gunners never Slackened up on their
| front line trenches, though they knew
| that their own men were clicking It
| (dying) with every round fred.
I'VE had intended to stay in No
Mans Land and in German trenches
only long enough to get prisoners, but
| the barrage that the enemy put down
was so hot and kept up SO long that it
was five hours and a half after the
time we went over the top before we
got back in our own dugouts. During
this time we crept from shell hole to
shell hole and gained what little pro-
lection we could from the craters.
In Trenches Only Ten Minutes.
II suppose that our entire stay in
! the trenches wasn't more than ten
minutes. Four Of our men were kill
| ed and two were wounded in the en-
counter. We were all pretty mad dur
ing those hours we waited out in the
shell-crater waiting for the barrage
to lift, because we hadn't brought any
Germans back with us ..
ut was after q. m. when we got
back, and when the lieutenant found
that men were missing there were
calls for volunteers to go back and get
| the wounded.
Sergeant MicNif and I volunteer
ed to 60 and we made three trips at
3, and o'clock. Three Of the men
we managed to bring back died
later. In bringing them back we had
to carry them from shell hole to
shell hole and wait for the Germans
murderous fire to slacken-"
It was for bringing back the
wounded men that McNiH and Plant
were cited for their war crosses.
Their work in the raid was merely
part Of their routine duty. They
spoke about the whole affair quite
casually. They were lucky" they
said, to get the medals.

It's been a long time since Detroit
has had a real first baseman. but
swiftly Dresser seems to be filing
the bill to the complete satisfaction OF
everyone concerned. The Tiger scouts
picked Dresser as the best first base
man in the minor leagues last season.
He is very fast, & sensational fielder,
and a smart batBman. Manager Jen-
nings has placed him at the top Of his
hitting list. Dresser was tried by the
Cards two years ago, but wasn't ready
for major league company. DresBsn
played 1913 games at first base for the
st. Paul team of the American assoct-
alton last season, and had q batting
