FEAR THE YANKEES
lillian Buell. Writes That AIneri-
cans Are Brave Soldiers

WRITING from war torn France,
ed Cross driver, states that from
3nversations with German prison.
h he has learned that if Germany
(ntinues to lose as heavily as she
IS in the past the Huns will sue for
Face. He does not think however,
at the war will be over until Ger
4any is decisively beaten and he
ids that he thinks it will take the
htire National Army to do it. AL
Nady the Germans are beginning to
kve a. wholesome respect for the
Ehting qualities of the Yankees, the
ritter says, His letters follow:

General Pershing said The whole U.

FRENCH SOON BECOME
REAL BASEBALL FANS
As Enthusiastic Over Hit for
Three Bases as for Boot.
Have Not Learned That Most Danger
GUS Place to Stand and Watch Is
Behind Bat-5ig Entertain
ment for the StroIlers.

Are the French people baseball fansI
90 la Ia; anyone who was out on the
BoiS de BoulOgne on a recent Sunday
and saw the thousands Of excited Parl
slams crOwding around the two base
ball diamonds would answer that ques-
tion with an emphatic "Oui."
The games were staged between the
Medical Department Repair Shop No.
I and the SearchlIght Division on one
diamond and the Red Cross drivers and
Y. NJ. c. A. nine on another. But the
fans didn't know who was playing
nor did they care says Stars and
Stripes. Whenever someone cracked
out a binger for three bags, a chorus
Of whatever is French for "Atta boy"
rose from the crowd And whenever
the shortstop made a boot and let the
ball get through to left field, the fans
liked it just as well as if he'd made
the assist.
And the Paris games are the first
in history where the umpire has
chance with the hleachers. The rea.
son is that they don't know what or
why or wherefore is the umpire. And
the umpires, to date, aren't giving in.
terviews TO the Paris dailies explain.
ing the duties Of their positions.
But these new friends of our ma.
tiOnal game must learn that the worst
place to stand while watching a game
is behind the catcher. In the recent
games they were crowded within two
feet of the plate and it was impossi-
Bile to keep them back. "CeSt danger
euX!" an American would yell at them.
"Ah, OTi," they agreed and moved back
all of two inches.
Those games ran for only five in
nings, and within that time there were
several casualties. When a foul came
screaming over their heads, they laugh
ed; when the catcher let bad one
pass and it tapped n fan on the head,
everybody came back for more There
are bound TO be some serious injur-
es when the league opens if provisions
ire not made to keep the enthusiast
rom acting as backstOps.

CATCHER FOR BILL DONOVAN

]. Howard Berry was a name known
in baseball circles before the now IA

Athletics of Philadelphia, with Tom

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
in hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got a chance. A quickly chilled or
OverwOrked stomach is a starter of
untold misery for it's owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-stomach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
belching, food repeating-it is the dan
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about it in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stOmachS well and to keep them
cool and sweet. It is a commonsense
way. No starvation plan of diet is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get a good appetite in
hot weather and enjoy the things you
like without misery to follow.

BASEBALL PLAYER is LOYAL
Carson eigbee Didn't Engage in Ship
building to Escape DRAFTS
Eager to Join.

Carson Bigbee of the Pirates, when
he quit his shipbuilding job to report
for baseball, automatically was ad-
vanced to draft classification. He was
originally in class 1 A, but as ship
builder went into class B. Bigbee
says he did not go into such work last
winter to escape the draft, as is
charged against some ball players, but
simply for the money that was in it
as winter proposition. He expects
an early call to service and is rather
keen to go.

WHY BALL CAN BE CURVED
Presence Of Irregularities on the
Sphere Alone Makes the Feat
Possibility.

If II were not for mountains" on a
baseball much larger In proportion
than any mountains on earth the clev-
er pitcher could not get so much
as n sixteenth of an inch curve In 1t.
If n baseball were perfect sphere
the best pitcher in the world could not
make It curve n hairs breadth other
than the natural curve produced by
gravity. The reason the baseball
curves, says the American Boy, is be-
cause II is covered with mountains"
There are great peaks and ridges, val
leys and cliffs, guIlies and craters all
over It, Magnfied 10000 dlameters,
all these things may be seen. and they
present far more rugged landscape
than any mountainous region in the
world. It looks like an exaggerated
combination Of the Grand Canyon, Bad
Lands, Alps and Rockies.
1t Is these Irregularities that Lake
1t possible for a pitcher to curve his
baseball. OF course he knows how to
hold and throw it, but in passing
through the air the friction strikes upon
these ragged edges, even though they
have to be magnified 10000 diameters
to be seen with the naked eye, and
cause such pressure as to make the
ball leave its natural course.
