From anon the ranks of boys he comes
Proud and pure and true. so kind and
Who is this with mother, weeping wife or
Kisses them good-by and marches ons
See him him now on land and sea or as thru
He who knows no fear one to us so dear
Rushes on thru din of battle, courage never
Meets the foe and puts the hosts to rout
See he stoops amid the fray to clasp a
comrades hand.
Hears the dying prayer and last good-by
Who is this comes marching home, when
war shall be no more.
Who is this well love till life shall end?
Chorus:
He's soldier Of the Red. White and Blue
He will stand beside the colors so true:
He will cross the foaming sea,
At the front he'll always be
And defend the flag for me and for you
And upon foreign shore he will go.
There on deadly battlefield meet the foe.
And he'll fight till war is Ger, and til
war shall be no more:
He's a soldier for the Red. White and Blue

GRID STAR MENTIONED
Sammy Ransom, Colored Football
Player, Cited in Dispatches.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 24.-Sammy
Ransom, one of the greatest negro
football players in history, has
achieved the ambition of his life, ac-
cording to letters from the battle
front received by friends here.
Sam-he is Lieutenant Ransom now
has already proved his worth as an
officer. He and Binga Desmond for
mer crack Splinter at the University
of Chicago, have been cited for brav-
cry.
Ransom's never-say-die spirit typi-
cal of his gridiron playing for Hyde
Park high school, Chicago. won him
a commission in the army. Until a
year ago he was the doorkeeper at a
st. Paul club. When war came, he
tried to qualify for the first officers
training camp at Fort Smelling, but
failed. p
That setback did not discourage
Ransom and he enlisted in the army
as a private. His keen mentality, re-
sourcefulness and ability to lead men
soon, advanced him to a non-commis-
stoned officer and later he won his
bars.
Ransom and Desmond participated
in a raid on German trenches and
their conduct under fire was the sub
ject of special mention.

''Wintering alone costs 81 40, 900. Each
day of the tour imperatively demands
at least $500. The equipment for
this seasons show could not be re-
placed under $3,50O,000. The parade
paraphernalia, from which no direct
profit accrues, means nearly Sl,00O,-

MIRACLE OF "OLE CY'
Barger Blossoms as Pinch Hitter After
Going to SCRAP"
BY JACK VEIOCK.


New York, July 24.-There are
comebacks and comebacks.
When Joe Wood, erstwhile smoke
merchant of the worlds champion
Boston Sox, came back in the role of
a smuggling outfielder of the fans fig
ured a miracle had come to pass. But
the recent announcement that Cy Bar
ger, veteran National league pitcher,
had bloomed out as a pinch hitter was
a real surprise.
Barger was managing the Memphis
club when the Southern association
decided to close its gates until after
the war, and in the scramble for the
best players in the league Barger was
hooked by the Chicago Cubs. Later he
was sent to Louisville in the American
association, wher- he is earning his
three squares today.
Many years go Barger was released
by Charley Ebbets, of the Dodgers
and branded as all thru. From
Brooklyn he drifted to Newark and
later into the Federal league, but his
days as a pitcher --ere ended.
That he should come back strong
enough to hold down pinch-hittins
and outfielding Job with a club in the
strongest minor league in the country
is somewhat of miracle, for Cy is no
chicken.
According to the records and Cy's
modest admissions, he is "a years old
At that age the average player is get
ting ready to hang up his spikes; but
Barger, like Ham Hyatt. Bob Wallace
and few others, is made out of the
kind of stuff that wears and wears.

vehicular equipment is described as a
triumph of builder and decorator.
Scores of the prettiest dancing girls of
the country will be atop, CALAMITY es-
corted by the knights of the arena.
Clown cut-ups will turn out in ludi-
crous assortment of rolling stock.
Every variety of thorobred horse, roy
ally caparisoned, will be proudly pre-
scented.
Shows at 2 and 8.
The circus performance will be
given at o'clock in the afternoon and
at 8 o'clock ct night. The spacious
entrance of the tents will be open an
hour earlier to receive the crowds
eager to view the Barnum & Bailey
geological exhibit. which is probably
the most complete and accurate in the
world. 1t has been greatly augmented
since the last visit of the circus here
two years ago. Around the big es-
planade will range cage after cage of
strange creatures from every hemiS-
phere. The Understanding" hippo
potamus and two-horned rhinoceros
Will attract most curious attention.
Assurance is given that the ensuing
entertainment in the three rings, on
the four stages, in the wilderness OF
aerial rigging and on the vast hippo
drome oval will introduce only mas
tiers and mistresses of diversified ath-
letic activity. The program comprises
what theatrical managers call IAN all
star cast" and in the largest city or
smallest town visited, and whether
afternoon or night the exhibit is com
plete and unchanged. From the open
ing of the season at Madison Square
Garden in New York City to the clos
ing day of the long tour the high
standard is maintained
For the convenience of all who de-
sire to avoid the crowds and clamo1
at the show grounds, tickets will be

be the same as at the regular ticket
