Dear Sister Rita,
[ received my
first letter from home yesterday,
and was glad to hear that you were
all we'll and getting along fine, I
am we'll and getting along fine with
my work. We nave 145 horses.
All I have to do is to take care Of
the sick ones, that is | just dress
all the wounded ones and doctor
the sick. Don't have to feed or
water airy of them except the one
| ride. We haven't had but a few
killed so far. The ones that get
wounded very badly we send on
back of the lines to the hospital.
The Germans are retreating all
along the lines, the Americans are
too hard for them. Tell Roy that
if he were over here he could get
all the guns he wanted and any
kind he wanted-French, American
or German, they are laying around
every where and plenty of amuni-
ton.
Rita, wish you would send me
the Recorder and the S taunton
Leader.
Your loving brother.

HEAVY MATMEN
IN Big MATCH
F., Zeresa, District Champ,
Meets Unbeatable Young
Gotch of Engineers.

The wrestling match at the New
Folly tonight promises to be one OF
the most interesting and closely
contested affairs ever held in WASH
ington between heavy-weights. as
the advance sale of tickets indicate
a capacity house. Zerega is one OF
the most popular wrestlers ever
turned out IN this cNy. His work
has always been on the winning
end OF six out of the seven matches
he has had here. His last appear
ance here was with the 'Mustica Jap
at the Gayety.
Meeting him at the flu jItsu style
he. had no trouble in defeating the
Jap at his own style. Last year
Zerega had a very successful season
with the Panama-Pacific Carnival
Co.. meeting all comers.
Young Gotch Is practically. un-
known outside OF his two recent
matches here which he won hand
lily. He was born in Alaska and
worked the most of his bouts in
the Northwest. He has in his pos
session clippings that show where
he has won a number of very i'm
portant matches and for two years
has held the championship Of Col
orado.
Young Gotch now claims the
championship of the United States
army and regardIes OF all conditions
is open to meet any man in the serv-
ice that disputes his claim. Should
Gotch defeat Zeraga tonight Man
ager George King has promised him
a match with Joe Turner. the mid
dle-weight champion. before he
leaves for overseas.

MEMORIESOF
REALKID DAYS
Death of Old Eagle Eye
Brings Back Recollec-
tions to Old-Timer.

The death OF good old Jake Beck
ley, "old Eagle Eye" brings back
to some of US the now hazy recol-
lection of the days OF quite a while
ago. Jake was one of my ideal ball
players when / was. a kid, writes
Walter Bratz in the Salt Lake Her
ald-Republican, Many of us lived
in tall. grass towns. The baseball
We ordinarily witnessed was not even
in the bush" variety. 1t was the
common or garden variety. and not
any too good at that. The big fell
lows used to go out to Mayors
grove, measure out a diamond in
the pasture and go to II. We kids
used to sit around the side lines and
carry bats. play backstop or some
thing. Them was the happy days"
and even IL baseball was weird, we
certainly enjoyed II.
Then when things broke a little
better for dad and he gameIy made
up his mind to go down to Chi on
the boat to see a ball game. remem-
ber the excitement? Nothing since
has approached IL. You were combed
and scrubbed and prepared as
tHNeb" 1hV De your
last one and you were doing the
most wonderful thing in the world.
Gee. how you have wished since that
some of the so-called big movements
Of your later lives were half as big
as those preliminary moments and
the glorious hours you spent at the
old ball park where such men as
Beckley. Waddell. Brouthers. Rusie,
Burkett. Clarksoin, Stahl. Nichols,
Brodie, Selee. Keller, McGraw. Jen-
nings. Kelly. Crane. Hanlon and
many others were wont to pull their
wonderful stunts.
. Doggone. the days OF youth, after
all. are the real days. Later we get
blsse and cynical We get critical
and crotchety. wish the kindly
fates could bring back just a few OF
those days. Maybe just the sight
OF some of those old boys now would
give a fellow an imitation OF anoth-
er-day thrill. I'd like to have one
again. 1t would almost make me
forget my head Is shy of its shock
of uncombed boyish locks and war
or no war baseball would be a live
issue.
The Washington herald., 1918-08-01

That Secretary Of War Baker and
Provost Marshal General Crowder had
no intention Of putting an end to
baseball and did not realize what
injury the famous "work-or-fight"
order would do the great national
game was the view taken by Presi-
dent William F. Baker, of the Phillies,
when he returned to this city yester-
day after. his trip to Washington,
where he Joined the other magnates
in a plea for the life Of the game.
Mr.. Baker was highly pleased at
the verdict Of the Federal officials in
extending the time of exemption for
baseball players up to September I,
and had a great deal to say in praise
of both the Secretary of War and
General Crowder, and was surprised
at the time taken by them to. attend
to the baseball situation.
He stated that both Secretary Baker
and Gen. Crowder knew little about
baseball and thought that the major
league teams could 60 out and find
any number of players easily within
day Of searching to take the places
of the men called to the army. Ac-
cording to the Phils' president, Gen.
Crowder allowed the representatives

OPERATIONS PLAY
CLARENDON SUNDAY

One OF the hottest games OF the
season 10 to be staged at Claren-
don Sunday afternoon. when Lane
Lacey will lead his crack Opera-
tiors Club in a second assault on
the stronghold OF the Clarendon A.
C. In the FIRST engagement four
weeks. ago the Operations nine was
repulsed. Yeoman Won HerbuIis be-
ing robbed OF shut-out by rea-
son of two infield errors in the open
ing frame, but Len Owens was hav-
ing an of day and Lacey was short
a couple of yeomen.
For Sundays game both clubs ex-
pect TO have ther full strength, with
Lacey promising revenge for the early
defeat and Manager Joe Geibel Just
as confident Of repeating. The game
will be played at o'clock. with
Kelly and Hager opposing Won Her
bulls and GeibeI.
Lieut. Henderson's injury IN last
Sundays game is not expected TO
keep him and his war club out OF

CLIMAX
Surprises Promised for Ma
tional Tournament at
Forest Hill.

New York, July 31.-with the ten
mis- season approaching the fixtures
of the year. every effort rs now be-
ing made by the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association to
assure the success Of these events.
Thus far the tournament season has
been Of greater interest than even
the most optimistic forecasts would
have indicated earlier in the year.
and further. the tournament play has
raised a large sum with which to
purchase athletic equipment for the
soldiers and sailors. both here and
abroad, and 1t is to provide addition
al funds for this purpose that the
National Association officials are
seeking to make the coming tour
naments Of wide interest
II has long been established In
tennis circles that the big tourna-
ments of the year were Seabright,
Newport. Southampton and then the
nationals. This year the Newport
event will not be held. but in its
place will be the national doubles
at lHC AonS NOOu
Cricket Club, at Boston. which was
first instituted last year. The tour
nament was not particularly success
full. but the same might be said for
others Of the big tournaments Of
1871. This season II is hoped that
the national doubles event will take
the place to which such an event Is
naturally entitled.
Just how much Of a tournament will
be held at Seabright is something of
a question even now. with the sched-
uled date of starting only a few days
away. There are a number Of players
available for the tournament, many
of them stars of established reputa-
ton. as well as some OF the young
sters who have been making a name
for themselr<s this season, but the
difficulty seems to be that there are
not enough men at the 'Seabrigh,
event.
In the case Of the national doubles,
Southampton and thenationals. how
ever. there is every indication that
there Will be a wealth of keen tennis
play. Just at present several plans
are under consideration which may
AASuAC a VI otoAc oN thS ANAA
nament Announcements are moi
forthcoming OF the details. but 1t is
assured that there will be a surprise
in store for the tennis public when the
arrangements are completed.
The re-entry OF Ichiya Kumagae into
tennis in this country has done much
to liven interest in the sport. and it is
predicted by many that now is the
time when the famous assertion by
George Brown of Boston may come
true. He said several years ago that
the national championship would be-
fore a great while go to some one
from the Far East. Just after his
statement Kumagae came to this
country and by his wonderful per-
formance gave real foundation for the
statement
Kumagae may not have easy sailing
in the coming tournament play. for
there are still a number of high rank
ing players in this country. and some
Of them may find 1t possible to COM
pete for the national championship.

HANDS
OUT HIS ALIBI
Clean Breaks Ruled by
Eckhardt Overlooked by
Western Lion.

Excuses spring eternal in the pugi-
listic mind. Fred Fulton says that the
report that he was knocked out by
Jack Dempsey IL true, but that he
wants to explain the how of il. Fred
says that before they squared on
Johnny Eckhardt. the referee, told
them to break clean. Fred says that
after he had paved a couple into
Jacks face they fell into a clinch.
Instead of breaking clean and per
hitting Fulton to readjust his neat
part Dempsey was so rude as to
punch Fred divers punches. which
certainly was not the Rochester Riots
idea Of breaking clean. He says that
Dempsey had no right TO punch so
Quickly-and adds that therein lies the
secret" Of his early trip 10 the can
vas. This sounds plausible. There
should be a rule forcing the referee
to announce after each clinch just
when he deems the break to be clean.
In this manner a man like Fulton
would be safeguarded against rude
ness and social faux pas. Dempsey
evidently is a rough person. not Mt to
be engaged with in 6stic amenities.
Note that Jack Kearns, Dempsey's
manager. with all solemnity. an
HO0uStS NAldA AtC1lpcrN a. Nlc
heavyweight ehxmpion. Dempsey may
be every, bit az good as he himself
says he N. but that dos not make
him the champion.
Jess Willard IL the title holder and
he must be recognized as such until
he retires voluntarily or is divested
OF the honor in the ring. And II is
strictly up to Willard when he will
fight-f at all He won the title from
Johnson and IL is his to do whatever
he chooses with il except give II
away. That's one thing he cannot do.
Presenting the title has been tried by
Jeffries and others. but never has
been given any recognition
Dempsey's next fight was scheduled
for August against Billy Miske az
Atlanta IT was postponed yesterday
and there il no guarantee that IL ever
will be fought. Miske makes no secret
OF his disinclination to being in the
same ring with Dempsey II Jack Is in
the mood for serious business.
