Dear Doc and friends:-
Am back from the front once again,
fourth time. The boys started old
Fritz" going and we had to trail him
of course, which took q little more
than a day. We started mex morning
after the first days III on hot trail,
stopped for quite some few hours by
hot artillery fire, the going was greas.
Started again at dusk, reached objec-
tive at about 10 D. m. or so, / cant
just recall. We did not know up to that
time exactly where the Hun made his
stand, but 1 nailed the first prisoners
about said time with my bayonet-got
him alive. 1 threw away my Spring
field because 1 lost bayonet about six
miles from this place where we had
some go @ few days before we had to
fall back. Caught my second prisoner
about half hour later than first, this
time 1 used the Colt automatic and
I made him dance and beg.
Got all the dope I required quick
and they were mighty glad to hand
IL out, so long as / would not kill them.
That is all they feared as you will
read in the article. Quite a few of
my friends were casualties that day so
the job was left to the Captain and I
to finish. On the war-torn battlefields
1 had the pleasure of being recon-
mended for lieutenantcy, quite IN hon.
or as you know that Is somewhat
different than being recommended for
Officers Training School, for which I
swas next candidate, but feel proud the
honors came first.
My friends all thought I did great
work; we'll 1 went along and caused
another capture, then they opened up.
Next afternoon some of our men went
out and had a battle with a Hun ma
chine gun and'crew-cleaned them all
up, also one officer. Sunday evening
in the rain we went over after him
Doc, and believe me, some going. Tho
Captain and I had the bunch to con-
tend with and we did fine, only two
casualties. / said to myself, good
bye, good luck and God bless you, but
it was only half as interesting as the
first go in this sector. We've been on
the go here quite regular, here thirty
two days today. are going for a good
rest and then I al write plenty. Since
I am acting lieutenant I am very busy
and can't write to all. Give my re-
CARDS to the Clarke & Goble Foundry

.STEELTON'S NEW
LINEUP A WINNER
Exhibition of Swift Ball Given
by Cockill's Revamped Club
at Cottage Hill Yesterday

Manager George Cockill displayed
an almost entirely new lineup yes
terday as predicted in this column
some time ago. Jack knight played
third base in the game with the
Williamsport p. r. r.. team. a po-
sition which he held at various
periods in his varied career. 1t is
evident that Neild. who had been
attending to the difficult sack. will
give way permanently to a harder
hitting infelder, and knight will
be used at third in the approaching
games here. so Cockill said last even
ing.
This necessitated another man for
first base, and Kaufman, recently
secured from the South, worked at
the job yesterday to the entire salts
faction of all hands. He looks to be
the real thing and Cockill will not
! have to be anxious over this position
The catching of Edmundson yester-
day was big-league quality and he
handled Phillips and Pierce with
ease and precision, his pegging be-
ing excellent.
Roxy Roach distinguished him
self by slamming out a home run off
Salada, the coal miner phenom, and
that, too. when Roach but recently
recovered from badly strained ten
don, handed him just before he left
Louisville.

DuncannOn Gathers Star
Team to Defeat Hershey

Duncannon, Pa, June 2S.-Dun-
cannon, with team made up prac-
tically of former Dauphin-Pe Perry
League players, will meet the fast
moving Hershey squad on the Ros-
borough Field grounds tomorrow
afternoon. Hershey conquered the
locals three weeks ago, but added
practice and several new players
have given Duncannon considerabl
added strength.
Manager Duncan has announced
the good news to local fans that
Bobby" Clark, who covered the ini-
tial sack for Duncannon in the Dau-
phin-Perry League last year, will
fill the same position tomorrow.
Clark has been playing with the
Steelton team of the Bethlehem Steel
League and with other league teams
of Harrisburg. Harry Wagner, star
left fielder of last years Newport
champions, will be found in one of
the outer garden positions on the
Duncannon team. Wagner is a club
smith of ability and last year lead
the league in home runs. He had
quite a creditable record in all de-
partments.
McCurdy. of last years Dauphin
team, and Harry Biever, of the Hall
fax team, will be two other Dau-
phin-Perry players with the Dun
cannon team tomorrow. McCurdy
will cover third base and Biever will
be on the pitching tee. "Os" Waits,

also played with Dauphin, will catch

Two singles. two doubles and a
sacrifice hit. all punched in the sixth
inning. gave Reading a to victory
over Rosewood last evening in an AL
lison Hill League contest. As a re-
suit of the game Reading forged
ahead and now leads by two and one
half games, while Rosewood dropped
to third place. yielding second posi-
tion to the Galahads.
1t was pitching duel between
George Levan and Lefty" Lands.
In the matter of hits and strikeouts
honors were even. The advantage
for Levan came in that the Reading
hits were clustered in one inning. 1t
was the first shutout of the season
for Rosewood. One of the largest
crowds of the season was on hand,
and another large gathering will
likely fill the field tonight, as the
teams will play off a to tie of
earlier in the season.

Ibach singled over second. McCurdy
singled through short. "Bill' Euker
drove out his second double of the
evening. Ibach scored and Mack
went to third. Don Werts sent a
long double to left field and the two
players on base reached home. Tim"
Euker flied to left field and the
scoring for the game was at an end.
The Rosewoods threatened in the

right field. Geary grounded to short,

Athlete Rejected Eight
Times Is Now in Draft

Eight times rejected for service
with the Army and Navy or Ma
rines-all because a fighting tackle
on the football team of Syracuse
University back in 1911 kicked his
heart out of place-Arthur Zachritz,
27 years old, athlete and attorney,
has been drafted.
Some athlete!
That's what they used to say
about him.
And the draft board decided that
"some athlete ought to make tsome
soldier'-even If he had a heart
where it oughtn't to be and had been
rejected eight times because of it.
Star halfback on the st. Louis
University eleven in 1911, his heart

Fourth of July, when two Yankee
teams hook up for an exhibition on

than, international baseball jester,
has sent Friend Kink Reach bulb

by himself in the back yard of Buck
ingham Palace, SO that he will be in

Arlie was coaching him.

relating to America. Newspapers in
London carried only a few para
graphs on our nations daily doings,
and those dealt mostly with lynch
ings in some remote Southern spot.
Baseball, it is predicted, will spill
the cement pot, and weld the two
Anglo Saxon nations together. Arlie
Latham and King George are doing
their part.
Thus far the Englishmen thinks
baseball duh game if played we'll.
He wants to see lots of action-long
hits, much base-running and a lot
of errors. In other words his idea
of a good ball game is our notion of
bad one. But he is learning.
Eight thousand people, half of
them Englishmen, clapped their
hands and cheered with singular
lack of restraint as Admiral Sims
stepped into the box at Highbury
football ground, London, May 18,
and opened the Anglo-American
League season by pitching the first
ball to Maj. Gen. Biddle, command
ing American soldiers in England.
When His Royal Highness, George
The Rooter, tosses out the sphere
it is expected that fifty thousand will
be watching him, and his extraor-
dinary interest in our national pas
time has a humorist proposing to
settle all international disputes after
this one with ball games instead of
wars.
