My Dear Mother:

Arrived here last night and am
feeling fine. You have read no doubt
about the Red Cross ambulance
trains. Well, they sure are great.
They are a great wonder to the
people, especially the size Of the cars
all French railroad cars being very
small.
, don't remember how much I told
you about being hurt. A four inch
shell fell about four feet from. me.
Shells this close are often not so dan
gerous as when further away. This
shell went into the ground before it
exploded, and thus the main charge
went over me. The shock of the ex-
plosion threw me about five feet. An
officer who was there at the tine
came into the Evacuation hospital
just before 1 left and told me that
the top Of my helmet was torn to
pieces, which shows that the charge
went just over me. I said l had four
wounds, but I guess it is nearer 40.
They say my back looks as i'll had
been hit with a shot gun. They are
tiny little specks though, which sim
ply had to be cleaned out and let
alone. Then there are the four told
you about in my last letter. The
stitches have been removed from my
head, and l don't even wear a band

Camoufage. the gentle art Of maxi
ing things almost invisible or to 1aols
like what they aren't has been tried
out in sports.
But early returns indicate that it
got a cool reception.
During the speed trials for the
speedway racesf in Chicago, Arthur
Duray, daring French driver, showed
up at the speedway one cloudy morn,

yellow and gray streaks, srneared

Bright red and, aided by a misty att
mosphere, Duray's car skinned along
the track almost invisible.
His brother racers set up a howl.
They cared somewhat for Duray's
neck and had considerable regard for
their own lives, they said They point
ed put the fact that the low visibility
of Duray's car would endanger the
lives of all concerned

TECHS TRACK MEN
WANT DUAL GAMES
WITH CENTRALITES

Technical High School Is looking
for a track meet on May %, and will
challenge the crack Central High
School team to a dual engagement on
that date.
The failure OF Central to enter the
annual high school meet has brought
forth a challenge from the Manual
Trainers, who maintain they can give
the Mt. Pleasant lads all they are
looking for in a dual meet.
Coach William N. Apple says he
wants his team 10 meet Central In a
dual meet.
I'VE expected to meet Central IN
the annual meet this year, and are
willing to take on the Central team
in a dual meet" said Apple today.
while our relay team was in a lower
class than Centrars. in the Penn re-
lays we ran in better time, and that
entities us to some consideration
Tech has had a dual meet with
Western. and has doubled the score
on the Westerners. Eastern and
Business cannot give US opposition
and we sought a dual meet with
Episcopal, but failed to get an en-
gagement, although Episcopal ran
against Western and defeated that
team.
Our boys are anxious to meet Gem

CREW ROWING, WITH.
.HECOX AS COACH.

Four eight-oared crews Of girls are
being formed at George Washington
University as the first move in in
auguratlng an extensive program OF
spring and summer athletics. The
rowing movement has gained great
popularity, and already fifteen girls
have come to the front as candidates
for the teams. Twenty-Five more
girls are needed at once, and It Is
believed that this number will be OBJ
tained by the end OF the week.
Sigma Kappa Sorority is the first
girls organization to enter q crew.
A strong freshman group also is to
be formed in the near future, and II
Is probable that before the end OF
the month all OF the sororities will
be represented.
Practice will begin within q few
days under the direction Of c. w.
Hecox, Centnl High School coach.
The Analostan Boat Club probably
will be used. The girls will do their
rowing early In the morning before
the hot sun has climbed very high in
the sky. They plan to hold their
practices two mornings a week from
Z to $50.
Practice will continue throughout
the summer. and the final nces will
be held in September, when the uni
versity probably will hold a big re-
gatta between the Aqueduct and

But when you stop for the once
over, you have TO admit that the
great Augustan is today the oldest
player holding down a regular berth
in the American League. He's not
Oldest in point OF years, but he Is the
oldest in point Of continuous service.
Ty came into the major leagues in
1905. He was successful almost from
the first day, and he has gone on and
on to greater and greater glory with
the years. Twice he has finished
with a batting average higher than
400, In 1911 and again in 1912.
Always . 800 Hitter.
Beginning with 1905, when he held
regulars berth with the Detroit
club, he has hit for more than 800
for twelve consecutive years. His
lowest mark, in 1906, was 800.
Six different times he has led all
base stealers in the American League.
Today his total OF 90 stolen bases,
made In 1915, IL the record for both
major leagues under present rules.
It Is, therefore, with sadness that
we are informed OF Tvs fading, that
his muscles no longer respond with
their old-time qulckness, that his
shapely legs are becoming bulky, and
that he no longer appears to be dart
