Sergt. Dove Writes That Indica-
tons Point To Annapolis
Mems Early Return
GIVES NEWS OF BOYS

Writing TO q friend in Annapolis, un-
der the date OF December IL, Sergeant
r. Edward Dove, grandson OF Thomas
Dove, the liveryman, now attached TO
the quartermaster of the Goth division,
expresses the belief that this division,
which includes the Annapolis guards
men who left here in September, 1917.
will soon embark on their return trip
He is careful TO say, however, that he
has no certain information on this
point.
Sergeant Dove was transferred from
the Supply company of the 115th in
fantry shortly after Capt Charles E.
Myers, of this city, was assigned to
duty with the division quartermaster
Captain Myers 20 k is on Sergeant
Doves letter The censorship has
lifted to the extent that any letter with
an officers 20. K" may be sent
through.
A great deal of valuable and inter
esting information is given in the let
ter. Sergeant Dove states that Cap
tain Daniel ]. Muphy, who is personnel
adjutant of the 111th field artillery,
has recently Joined the division at its
present point of rendezvous, and his
health appears to be fine. Gordon
Parlett is first lieutenant in a company
of the Hath infantry, which is a fine
New Jersey regiment OF the 29th di-
vision. Sergeant Dove says that Lieu
tenant Parlett has done good work and
is in excellent health.
Some very interesting details of the
service of the regiment, not previously
told. are now given by Sergeant Dove.
The 115th infantry arrived at Brest,
France, on June 81. staying there three
days, and then went by train to small
town named Champlite. in central
France. The division, with the excep-
ton of the artillery, rendezvoused in
this vicinity, and was shortly sent to a
sector in Alsace, where it had its first
taste of trench life.
After stay of two months there, the
regiment was ordered to the Argonne
Forest region. north of verdun, and
took part in twenty-one days of con-
tinuous fighting. 1t was there Cor

pany, and Private Louis Snyder, Com
pany NJ, were killed. At the end of
that period. the regiment returned TO
rest billets. and while there the armis-
tice went into effect.
Sergeant Dove speaks highly of the
Maryland officers. He says that Col.
NJ. Atcheson Reckord, of Bel Air, who
commands the 115th, is the only Ma
tional guard colonel in the division.
Major Finley, of Elkton, who COM
manded the battalion of which Com
pany Nj was part, has been promoted
to lieutenant-colonel and assigned to
the 116th infantry, which is Virginia
regiment
Among other details, Sergeant Dove
says that mail of all kinds is being re-
ceived promptly. He is now in a small
place called OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, and
the 115th is at Champlite, the first
stopping place of the regiment after it
left Brest, the port of debarkation.
This is one of the reasons the local
soldiers think they are scheduled for
an early return to this side
Sergeant Dove says that he is very
well. and adds these interesting details
Since l arrived in France, / have
lived in almost any kind of place one
could get, especially when near the
lines. We were living in barns, cow
sheds or any place we could find
vacant. Where we are now, the col
onel has given us permission to rent
private billets, and three other SER
geants and myself have a very nice
room with French family, and the
people are very good to us, and don't
seem to be able to do enough for us

WEATHER STRIPPING
WILL SAVE YOU COAL

Following are few suggestions by
the United States Fuel Administration
on weather stripping" of houses, to
save coal:
1t is best to put weather stripping on
all doors and windows because, there
is heat loss through every one, no
matter how tight they might be. BY
all means strip those which are loose,
or which have large crevices.
All doors and windows which have
a northern exposure should be care
fully stripped. Windows thus exposed
would be much better protected If dou-
BILE windows are provided. because
there is a certain amount Of heat loss
through the glass.

MAKE AN kIR-POCKET
WITH WINDOW SHADE.
1T KEEPS OUT THE COLD.

There has come to light the novel
fact that window shade will not only
keep out the light, but will keep out
the coldl
Unreasonable, you sayf
Not at all.
A glass window, while 1t effectively
keeps out the wind, allows consider
able radiation of the heat from
room through the single thickness of
the pane. In very cold countries double
windows are the rule.
No matter how thin the window
shade, If 1t is pulled down and held
snugly against the easement, 1t forms
an air pocket which insulates the
warm room from the cold outside the
same way as does the air space OF the
double window.
For that reason, In cold weather,
pull your window shades down at
night. If the curtains or hangings
do not hold the shades close to the
easement, pin the shades. 1t is not
necessary to seal the shades tight
against the easement. but merely to
have them hang close enough so that
the air will not circulate too freely.

Is Baserunning A Lost
Art? Figures Show
1t Has Fallen OF

Baserunning as a baseball art
seems to be deteriorating. Records
of 1917 baserunning show that the
demons of the paths had the worst
season for many. years in both Ma
tional and American leagues.
Three Theories have been advanced
for this condition:
% That pitchers and catchers
have so improved that the baserun-
ner doesn't have as much chance as
those of former years.
q That the Daserunners Of to-
day are not SO fast as those of a few
years ago..
go That the sacrifice, and hit and
run plays are taking the place of the
stolen base.
Regardless of the reason the total
steals in the National League for
1917 showed a decline of SAG from
the 1911 mark and those Of the
American league 536 from the 1912
mark. These years are used as the
high water marks in the two leagues.
In 1911 a total of 1851 steals were
recorded in he National League. In
1917 the total was LAS.
In 1912, 1910 bases were pilfered
in the American League. In 1917
this total had dropped to 1.274.
All the clubs as we'll as the play
ers were affected by h falling off in
baserunning. Ty Cobb led the Amer
His total thefts, SIS, was the lowest
record Of a leading baserunner for
the league since 1908.
The leaders in the American league
had averaged so thefts a season for
seven consecutive campaigns up to
1917. In the National League Ma
Carey led with 46 steals, the second
lowest figure since 1902. An idea OF
the decline may be had from the fact
fered more than 80 sacks last season
and one other reached that mark. In
1911 five of McGraw's champions
passed the figure which gave Carey
first honors last season., Snodgrass

Devore led with 81. Doyle, ranking

No club in either league has since
