Five years ago Joe Boehling went
to Washington with the Richmond Bat
tie Ak team. champions of the anna
teur baseball league in Richmond, for
a series with the Washington amateur
championU. Boehling was the star
pitcher of the team, and the stumbling
block for the opposition. He set the
Washington lads down in order.
One of the amateur sporting editors
dug up Boehling, and Griff gave the
Richmond Thunderbolt a trial. He
made good, and the next year after
poor start turned in the record string
for straight wins. Then he went to
Cleveland, where he was later released.

CHAPTER XIX-Continued.


The game is honest and quite en-
IorahIe. Sometimes you have fourteen
numbers on your card covered and
Won are waiting for the fifteenth to be
called. In an implOring voice you call
mt. Come on, Watkins, chum, I'm
sweating on 'Kelly's Eye"
Watkins generally replies, "Well,
keen out of a draft, you'll catch cold"
Another game is "Pontoon," played
with cards; it is the same as our
aBIack jack" or ''Twenty-One."
A card game called "Brag" is also
popular. Using a casfnO deck, the
dealer deals each player three cards.
II is similar to our poker, except for
the fact that you only use three cards
and cannot draw. The deck is never
sbuffled until a man shows three of
kind or a "prile" as it is called. The
value of the hands are, high card, a
pair run, a flush or three of Il kind
Or "Dri!e.' The limit is generally a
penny, so it is hard to win fortune.
The next in popularity is a card
game called NAP" 1t is well named.
Every time I played it 1 went to sleep.
Whist and solo whist are played by
the highbrOws of the company.
When the gamblers tire of all other
games they try Banker and Broker"
spent a week trying to teach some
of the Tommies how to play poker, but
because I won thirty-ive francs they
declared that they didn't ''fawncy" the
game.
Tommy plays few card games; the
general run never heard of poker, eu-
chre, seven up, or pinochle. They have
game similar to ,pinochle called
"ROyal BeziQue," but few know how to
play it.
Generally there are two decks of
cards in a section, and in a short time
they are so dog-eared and greasy, you
can hardly tell the ace of spades from
the ace of hearts. The owners of these
decks sometimes cOndescend to lend
them after much coaxing.

GREAT BASE RUNNING

Arthur Fletcher, by fast sprint
) ing and keen judgment, achiev-
ed a feat seldom accomplished
in baseball in a recent game at
the Polo Grounds between the
Giants and Braves by scoring
from first base on a single to
center field by Lew McCarty.
After Larry Doyle had popped
to Herzog, Fletcher singled to
deep center, after which Powell
made a great catch Of Holke's
long drive. On the next play
McCarty dropped hit in center
field between Powell and Wick
land and Fletcher, who started
with the pitchers throw, scored
all the way from first. 1t was a
great piece of base running, the
equal of which seldom has been
seen on any ball field in the ma
jor leagues.

makes the rest of his diet green vege-
tables, fruits and cereals.
Most workingmen make the mis-
take of thinking that because they
are engaged in some physical labor it
is foolish for them to take exercise.
But here again it has been demon
strated beyond question that the la
Dor of ordinary workingmen is not OF
the kind adapted to keeping them IN
good health and free from disease.
Breathing exercises for the lungs,
abdominal exercises for the stomach,
kidneys, intestines, and liver, are
adapted for health and a long life.
Any working man who will take
about twelve minutes of these kind of
exercises each day will find that he
is doing his work much easier during
the day, is not so tired when night
comes, and is being freed more and
more from chronic ailments common
to laboring men. l suggest to you
men the wisdom of testing out these
things for yourselves"
On Thursday morning DR.. Barker

pany, and in the evening he will give
a talk to fathers at the Y. M. C. A. on

Mine Workers Warn Public
to Buy Now or Freeze
Next Winter.

INDIANAPOLIS, April H. Just
now, when the coal mines should be
working to their utmost capacity and
the output of coal should be at Its
heaviest point, Indiana coal mines are
working only about half time and pro-
ducing only about half as much coal az
they might produce. And not only is
this true of the Indiana mines, but 1t
is true, also, Of mines in Ohio, Penn
sylvania, West Virginia. Illinois. Colo
RADIO and many other coalpro6ucing
states.
1t Is this fact that causes William
Green, secretary-treasurer OF the
United Mine Workers of America: E.
I. Lewis, chairman of the Indiana pub
lie service commission, and John A.
George. president OF the Indianapolis
Coal Company. to agree, In separate
interviews, that there is a coal famine
in prospect for next winter that will
make last winters coal shortage fade
into insignificance.
Prospect Alarming.
These men all said that the prospect
is actually alarming, and that unless
relief comes Immediately there will be
untold suffering among the people. for
they will be without heat in their
homes.
The United Mine Workers. sent a
warning telegram to H. A. Garfield,
federal fuel administrator. pointing out
to him the seriousness OF the situa-
ton. It was evident from careful
reading Of that telegram that the min
ers foresee the crisis that is pending
and that they do not propose to be in
a position where Garfield or any one
else can place any of the blame on
them when the crisis comes. In other
words, it was good exhibition Of get

to be under the ak when the blade hits.

| Premier Lloyd George said he was

those who believe 1t a matter for con-
graduation that though an army OF
Ave millions had retired from the alli-
ances, the two or three nations that
remained had been able to put up such

American republic came In.
Replying to Sir Edward Carson's
criticism, the premier said that II 1t

two, possibly no grave consequences
would have arisen for Ireland. but

cause they were convinced that there
would be great sense of injustice and
resentment at the carrying out Of this
measure unless Ireland we're included.
The premier declared that no fair
analogy could be drawn between the
application of the present bill to Ire
land and the attempt to tax the Amer
lean colonies against their will, be-
cause In the latter case it was matter
of taxation without representation,
and further, no measure of self govern

Regarding the claim that Irish con-

Wales or Scotland. He added that

a prominent minister in the Friends
Yearly Meeting.
Az they were married by the
Friends ceremony they were request
ed to repeat that ceremony just as
they did in the West Grove meeting
OF Friends near Centerville IS years

that meeting. The ceremony was re-
peated Sunday at the close of the
meeting after Rev. Mr.. Woodland had
explained the details of the require.

The pastor then requested those IN
attendance to come forward and take
the hands OF the bride and groom and
express their congratulations.
Their son, Leander Woodland, and
wife, and their daughter, Alice Wood

southwest, the Germans drove the
British from the high ground at the
southern tip of the Messines-Pass-
chendaele ridge which extends for IA
miles from Wulverghem to Pass
chendaele in northeasterly direction.
From Wulverghem to Wytschaete is
two and one-half miles. Ypres lies
four miles directly north Of Wytsch-
aete and between them are the
vatory Ridge which are equal in
height to Wytschaete. so metres.
To wipe out the Ypres salient the
Germans must gain more of the long
ridge and must cut the railroad from
Hazebrouck to Ypres, which is one of
the main supply lines to the British
lines east and northeast Of Ypres. Ap-
parently they are attempting to reach
the railroad and are engaging the
British heavily at Meteren, west of
Bailleul, and four miles east of the
railroad and six miles east-northeast
of Hazebrouck. Directly west from
Wytschaete and north from Bailleul Is
the height of Mount KENNEL, 1856
metres, which is the highest point in
this area. But before the enemy can
cut the railroad and gain additional
heights the British may retire or an
allied counter-attack may be hurled
against the German lines.
Hun Efforts Repulsed.
On other parts OF the front from
Wytschaete to Givenchy the British
have repulsed German efforts, espec-
tally around Merville, the center of the
line. German attacks have broken out
south of Arras The British repulsed
an attack there near Bcyelles.
To the south around Albert and
across the Somme the German artill-
cry fire has increased. The enemy
bombardment is violent In the Mont
didier sector but no infantry opera
tons have developed.
On the American sector around St.
Mihiel the weather has been unfavor-
able for three days. but the Germans
have not repeated their attacks Of last
week. Near the Apremont forest, east
of St. Mihiel. American patrols have
crossed no mans land and reached
the German barbed wire without mo-
lestation. East of the American sector
near the Bots lie Petre Che French have
repulsed German efforts.
In Macedonia northeast OF Saloniki
the Bulgarians have been driven from
about ten villages along front of fiji
teen miles from the left bank of the
Struma northwest from Lake Tahinos.
Greek and British troops participated
in the operation. Prisoners were taken
and severe losses inflicted on the
enemy.
