By o MAULIFFE.

A. b. Sworths of South Bend is
hard at work negotiating for a box
ing match which he hopes TO stage
in South Bend on some evening dur
ing the state bowling tournament
here. Although arrangements are
yet unsettled, fistic fans r assured
of a good evenings entertainment.
This demonstration Of the manly art
will be given only by men who are
top-notchers in their profession.
II the plans go through which are
now being formulated there will be
several first class bouts, among
which will be included a bantam
and a middleweight event.
Dillon-McGoOrty Go.
The promoters of this entertain
ment are at present corresponding
with Eddie McGoorty with the view
Of securing his services. This Wis
consin boy has just returned from
Australia where he gave a series of
exhibitions. several of which took
place aboard an Australian battle
ship. The sailors of the British navy
are high in their praise Of McGoor-
tvs prowess. 1t is possible that Jack
Dillon, the Indiana boy, will be Sc
lected as McGoorty's opponent. Such
a match would prove a great draw
ing card, as the native son is exceed
ingly popular among boxing fans.
Both High Priced "Pugs."
Both of these stars are high-priced
and much depends upon the capaci-
~ of the hall where the bouts will
be staged. To bring such men here
would entail a heavy expense, con
sequently the seating capacity must

not only from South Bend. but from
all over the state who will be here
for the bowling tournament. Sew

our noses worse than the coolies. They
certainly were game little devils, ant
came right back at us.
So most of the poilus threw the
dope at Fritz and fought the coolies
hand to hand.
There's was plenty of food in the
trenches most of the time, though once
in while, during a heavy lombard
ment, the fatigue-usually corporals
guard-wOuld get killed in the COM
municatiOn trenches and we would not
have time to get out to the fatigue and
rescue the grub they were bringing.
Sometimes you could not find either
the fatigue or the grub when you got
to the point where they had been hit.
| But, as / say, we were well fed most
of the time, and got second and third
| helpings until we had to open our
belts. But as the Limeys say: "Gaw
blimey, the chuck was rough" They
served thick soup of meat and vege-
tables in bowls the size of wash ba-
sins, black coffee with or without
sugar-mostly without land plenty
of bread.
Also, we had preserves in tins, just
like the Limeys. If you send any par
cells over, do not put any apple and
plum Jam in them or the man who gets
it will let Fritz shoot him. Ask any
Limey soldier and he will tell you the
same. I never thought there was so
much jam in the world. No Mans
Land looked like a city dump. Most
of us took 1t, after a while, just to
get the bread. Early in the war they
used the tins to make bombs of, but
that was before Mills came along with
his hand grenade. Later on they fiat
tened out the tins and lined the dug
outs with them.
Each man carried an emergency ra-
ton in his bag. This consisted of bully |
beef, biscuits, etc. This ration was |
never used except in a real emergency, |
because no one gould tell when it |
might mean the difference between
life and death to him. When daylight |

him In the trenches, because our out
fits were nowhere near each other, but
whenever we weres In billets at the
same time, we were together as much
as possible.
Brown was funny card and I never
saw anyone else much like him. A
big, tall, red-headed, dopey-looking fell
low, never saying much and slow In
everything he did or said-you would
never think he amounted to much or
was worth his salt. The boys used to
call him "Ginger" Brown, both on ac-
count of his red hair and his slow
movements. But he would pull sur
prise on you every once in while,
like this one that he fooled me with.
One morning about dawn we started
out for walk through what used to
be Dixmude-piles of stone and brick
and mortar. There were no civvies to
be seen; only mules and horses bring
ing up casks of water, bags of beans,
chloride of lime, barbed wire, ammu-
milton. etc. 1t was a good thing we
We're not superstitious. At that, the
shadows along the walls made me feel
shaky sometimes.
Finally Brown said: "Come on
down; let's see the '75's.'" At this
time 1 had not seen ''75," except on
a train going to the front, so l took
him up right away, but was surprised
that he should know where they were.
After going half way around Dix
nude Brown said, "Here we are" and
started right into what was left of a
big house. I kept wondering how he
would know so much about it, but fol-

step and knocked off for four hours,
In which time we cooked and ate and
slept. This routine was kept up night
and day, seven days a week. Some
times the program was changed; for
instance, when there was to be an at
tack or when Fritz tried to come over
and visit, but otherwise nothing dis
turbed our routine unless 1t was gas
attack.

become sniper, as the Official sharp

lowed him. Inside the house was a
passageway under the ruins. It was
about seven feet wide and fifty feet
long, I should judge.
At the other end was the great old
49," poking its nose out-of hole In
the wall. The gun captain and the
crew were sitting around waiting the
word for action, and they seemed to
know Brown well. 1 was surprised at
that, but still more so when he told
me I could examine the gun If ]
wanted to, just as if he owned it.
So I sat In the seat and trained the
cross wires on an object, opened and
closed the breech and examined the
recoil.
Then Brown said: "Well, Chfnk,
you'll see some real gunnery now" and
they passed the word and took sta.

seems they had it all framed to spring
on me, and they expected I would be

So we put cotton In our ears and
the captain called the observation

gave him the range. Then the captain
"calIed 4128 meters" to Brown. They
placed the nose Of shell in fuse
adjuster and turned the handle until
1t reached scale 4128. This set the
fuse to explode at the range given.
Then they slammed the shell into the
breech, locked it shut and Brown sent
his best to Fritz.
The barrel slipped back, threw out
the shell case at our feet and returned
over a cushion of grease. Then we
received the results by telephone from

ared twelve shots the captain said tc
