Olympic Games in Paris
at Close of the War

that the world of sports is only wait
ing for war to lift its grim hand for
the staging of the greatest athletic
events that have been held since the
memorable Olympic games in Sweden
in 1912.
1t also means that the greatest
athletes remaining in the world will
once again meet in competition and
it means that Americas best will
again face the cream of all the other
nations in the field of fair competi-
tion and probably win as they have
won in every one of the great Olym-
pics.
Virtually all the best atletes of
this country are now with the colors,
which will make them eligible to
compete for Uncle Sam. To even start
to enumerate them would merely
mean the citing of names that are
famous on the cinder path, on the
field, in the swimming pool, on the
tennis court and in every other event
that composes the realm of sports.

Two Yankee ball players in khaki
hoped from an ammunition wagon
in Champs Ulysses, Paris, the other
day~and began to warm up with ball
and glove. A crowd of Parisians
gathered instantly and found intense
amusement watching the antics of
these huskies who regaled them
with curves, drops and shoots while
they kept up the style of kidding
familiar to home fans.
The incident has brought forth
many a narrative of eccentric big
leaguers who have all the elements
of an entertainer. Since being before
the public so much, this spirit ap-
pears to get them. Furthermore
the professional ball player is no
torious "kidder' and famous toss
ers have been known to sit up nights
conjuring some stunt with which
to annoy or amuse.
The late Bugs" Raymond, for
one whole season kept the cities of
the National League agitated with
spool of thread inside his coat and
pulling the loose end through, so it
hung out conspicuously from his
shoulder. He never had to wait
long for some stranger to Offer "EN-
cuse me, sir, but there is a thread
hanging down; I'll just pull it of"
Bugs" would wait until the kind
stranger had a good hold and then
start and run as far as he could CO.,
with the first aid victim foolishly
holding to the thread. He pulled
this on a respectable millionaire in
the Hotel Schenley in Pittsburgh
one day, and he worked it so far
wide that the whole Giant team
finally came under suspicion, and
McGraw ordered Bugs to cut II
out.
Raymond also toyed with the tooth
pick and shot game, but he never
achieved such renown as James X.
Kelly, who was drafted to Pittsburgh
in the spring of 1913 from the Great
Falls Club. "IIe donned his Pirate
uniform the same year." relates Ed.
+. Ballinger, sporting editor of the
Pittsburgh Post, and shortly intro
duced a new form of delivery, al
though he was not a pitcher. On the
contrary, he was an outtielder, but
he could groove a buckshot from
betwiXt his teeth with just about
as much accuracy as the late But-
falo Bill could fire bullets from a
repeating rifle.
When Kelly first appeared in
Pittsburgh, some dispute arose as
to how his name should be spelled.
Finally it was decided that it should
be Kelley" and some of the writers
clung to that style and boasted that
they were correct. 1t turned out,
however, that neither kelly" nor
Kelley" was correct, for he was
playing ball under an assumed name.

But it is desired in this article to

lad Kelly deserves recognition upon
the calendar of sport. With a twist

French Deputies and
Newspapers Want Peace :
Dictated by Gen. Foch

Paris, Oct. 23.-The newspapers
of Paris are united in demanding
that peace with Germany shall be
of the unconditional surrender"
type and that negotiations be called
off, except through General Foch.
The same view is taken by members
of the Chamber of Deputies, and
there is no question as to where the
representatives of France will stand
when the question of peace is dis
cussed in the supreme war council.

1t is a great cause for which
America is engaged in this war:
II Is a great struggle in which
the very hope of the world is
bound up that is being waged in
Europe and on the high seas. It
Is an honor to have a part in it
