Dear Sentinel:

to read the paper and enjoyed
the news from Jackson Co.
The piece of poetry about the
Stacker" was fine. | think il
was more truth than poetry. All
the boys here got a copy of it to
send home.
Our Co., finished on the rifle
range Thursday. All qualified
but nine, and they surely regret
ed it, because they will have to
lose their Co. think they will
be detailed some where for
guard duty. The rest of the
company except the nine that
didn't qualify, and myself, will
go to Quantico, Va. They will
be trained there for oversee.

sharp shooters and expert rifle
men can belong to the U. S.
Marine Machine gun corps. I'm
going to learn something else
besides how to operate a Machine
gun. | also want to know when
to run, | guess I'll get more
practice running than how to get
a Dutchman.
| have heard they were going
to make a draft camp here, and
it must be true, from the work
they are doing. I'm sorry for
anybody that comes here. The
training is fine, but the idea of
staying here 8 weeks, and not
speaking to a skirt, doesn't
sound good to me. Still ! went
thru it just the same and only
got to see a very few. We were
not allowed to make faces al
them. because they were proper

smiling a few times. but always

in the testimony of a witness in

I'VE sat down and we spoke for

him the different things that he
did, and if he wanted an inter-

he would have to tell everything.
So he told me Won Papen gave
DR.. Sheele, the partner of Won
Kleist, in this factory, a check
for $4,000 to start a bomb fac
tory. He told me that he,
Mr.. Won Kleist, and DR.. Sheele,
and a man by the name of Beck
er on the Friedrich der Crosse,
were making the bombs, and
that Captain Wolpert, Captain
Bode, and Captain Steinberg had
charge of putting these bombs
on the ships. they put these
bombs in cases and shipped them
as merchandise on these steam
ers, and they would go away on
the trip and the bombs would go
off after the ship was out four or
five days, causing a fire and
causing the cargo to go up in
flames. He also told me
that they have made quite a
number of these bombs, that
thirty of them were given to a
party by the name of O'Leary,
and that he took them down to
New Orleans where he had
charge of putting them on ships
down there, this fellow O'Leary.

GOING
AT TOP SPEED
Star HEAVIER of Boston
Braves Winning Despite
Long Service.

Dick Rudolph. star HEAVIER of the
Boston Braves, has been pitching for
fourteen years, but the passing Of
time doesn't seem to faze him.
He started pitching for Fordham
College back in 1906. and two years
later he was on his way to stardom
as member of the Toronto club Of
the old Eastern League, after having
had a bit of additional seasoning with
a semiprofessional club at Rutland,
VT, and with New Haven in the
Connecticut League.
His first full season with Toronto
was a busy one. for he took part in
thirty-one games, winning thirteen
and losing eight. After that he de-
sions won more than twenty games
a season for the Leafs.
In 1911 Rudolph was given a trial
by the Giants. but John McGraw did
not believe he was ready for the
big show and sent him back to the
Toronto club. That decision was one
of the mistakes McGraw has made
in judging players and he has re-
gretted 1t since: for in 1913 Rudolph
was traded to the Boston club and
what he has done in the way OF
standing National League batters on
their heads is too well known to re-
peat here.
Rudolph was a hold-out this season
until late in May, when he finally
came to terms with the Braves and
signed his contract In his first start
of the season he beat the Reds, let

DOUGLASDROpS
ERRATIC ACTS
Joe Tinker Makes Hurler
Out of 'Shuflin' Phil"
of Cub Machine.

"Shuffiin' PhI' Douglas has az
rived. at last in the class Of valuable
pitchers.
He broke into professional ranks at
Rome. Ga, in the old southeastern
League in 1910. The next year he
was a star with Macon and the White
Sox looked him over in the spring of
1912, finally sending him to Des
Moines. The next year Comlskey
took another peep at Douglas. but
he finally landed with the San Fran
cisco Club and. because of his erra'ic
ways. was released to Spokane In
July 1913.
In 1919 and 1915 Douglas tried on
a number of new uniforms. He was
transferred to the Reds from Spokane.
in the fall of 1913 and reported to
them the following spring., only to
be sold to Brooklyn and then sold TO
the Cubs by the Dodgers before the
season closed.
In the spring of 1916 Joe Tinker ar
rived at Tampa, Fla, with his Cubs
on the Weeghman Special to find
Douglas there ahead of him. And
Phil was in the midst Of one of his
celebrated stunts of scattering red
paint around the town. Tinker woke
there, handing him a railroad ticket
and ordering him sto report to Mike
Kelley at ST. Paul.
This turn of events made a pitcher
out Of Douglas. or, at least. started
him on the road to become a valuable
slabman. Tinker recalled him from
St. Paul in September, 1916, and he
has been with the Cubs ever since.
This year he is taking his regular
turn, and he recently showed his
effectiveness by handing the Giants
beautiful cleaning at the Polo
Grounds.

Shaw looked like q million dollars
as he had the visitors at his mercy
during the entire game. That MUIR
dering quartet, Baker, Pratt. Pipp
ana Bodie were only able to gather
one hit each OF the slants Of the
Nationals hurler. while two free
passes were the best James Aloysius
granted
Mogridge's southpaw offering were
met for eight solid cracks, although
the Nationals forced the Yankee in
field and outergardeners to do some
sensational work at the defensive end
of the game. Ping Bodie played
brilliantly in left field as everything
the Nationals cracked in his direction
was easily gathered in by the stocKy
built fielder.
Ping went from one side of the field
to another grabbing in the hoisted
horsehides from the bats of the Ma
tionals, but he brought the fans to
their feet in the seventh when he
raced all the way across the foul line
into the circus seats for Morgan's
drive.
The Nationals broke the ice IN the
fourth session after two men were
down. Shanks opened the way py
beating out scratch bingle and
moved along when Lavan was passed.
Morgan then hit to center field and
Hank raced across the registering
block. With a man on second and
third. Mogridge issued free trans
portation to Picinich to take a chance
on Shaw. Jimmy's- effort was only
2 sharp grounder to short that forced
PieiRich at the midway cushion and
ended the scoring for the inning.
A boot by Ray Morgan helped the
Yankees to their tally in the fifth
frame when Bodie singled after
Pipp had flew out. Hyatt then hit
one right at the watch-charm sec
ond sacker, but with a two ply kill
ing in sight Morgan gummed up the
MAY and both runners arrived safe.
Walters then hit to left field and
Shotton juggled the ball just long
enough to allow Bodie to count with
the only score made by the Yankees
The winning counter was put over
by the Nationals by clean hitting in
a brilliant ninth-inning rally. Shanks
crashed the first one pitched by
>Togridge for a base walop to left
field. Lavan followed suit with one
to right field but Morgan in attempt
ing to sacrifice the runner along
forced Howard at the far corner
Picinch then crashed into a curve
ball for a single to left field and
Lavan had an easy time getting
through the counting block with
what was the winning run.
Baker doubled with two down in
the Yankees first inning but Pratt
was not equal to the occasion as his
effort was only a high fly to
Shanks- A miscue by Morgan in the
seventh gave the Yanks another op-
portunity but Shaw frightened up and
forced Hyatt to hoist out and famed
Walters and Mogridge.
Shotton tripled to right field in
the Nationals eighth but Mogridge
gave the local rooters a heartache
when he famed Foster and Judge
and made Milan ground out to Peck
inpaugh. The score:

GOOD MATERIAL In
ARMY CANTONMENTS

New York. July 6.-Mighty good ma
terial for star performers in major
league baseball teams is being devel-
oped at Camp Upton and the other
army training camps according to
word received today from Johnny
Evers. the noted diamond star.
'Tt would be good play" said
Evers, "for baseball scouts to recon-
mend that their employers sign some
of these men. OF course there is no
telling just when they may be able
to use the men, but as soon as the
war is over they would be mighty
good material for the clubs. The best
part of it is that 1t would not cost a
penny to try any of them out.
Some of the best plays I've ever
witnessed on the diamond I have seen
pulled by these soldier players"

GIANTS SUFFER
BIG DRAWBACKS
Injury to Ferd Schupp' $
. Pitching Arm Jolt to
New York.

One of the most disappointing
strokes of tough luck that has fallen
20 the lot of the Giants this year Is
the injury to Schupp's pitching arm
The Giants have suffered several
hard Kicks in vital spots, such as
the illness of Larry Doyle, Niehoff's 5
broken leg and the drafting of
Benny Kauff and Jess Barnes.
But with all these breaks the
men o'McGraw might still be op-
timistic II Schupp were only in
shape to pitch, as he pitched during
the 1917 campaign.
Classed as one of the most brill
liant young left-handers in either
major league at the close of the
1917 season, Schupp seemed destin-
ed for a bright career in the Ma
tional League. But early this spring
while the Giants were at Marlin on
their training trip. the young fork
handler hurt his left shoulder while
zipping some fast shoots across the
pan during practice session. and
since then he has not been able to
take his turn in the box.
Figuring that Sohupp has had
more than two months of real base
ball weather, coupled with the ad-
vice of no less a parsonage than
Bonesetter Reese to help him whip
his wing back into shape, the fact
he Is still unable to pitch effect
lively is a mighty serious blow to
the New York club. 1t is doubtful.
according to some members of the
team, whether Ferdie will be able
to come back at all this season.
and unless he can nurse his shoul-
der into shape his career as a major
league finger may end.
Schupp was one of the big factors
in the 1917 campaign of the cham
pions. He took part in thirty-one
games of ball and finished the sea-
son with a record of twenty-one
victories and only seven defeats.

0'HAGEN ALWAYS GOT THEM.
Used Hatpin to Get Runner Of Base
When an Out Was Needed.

When John (Shano) Collins, of
the White Sox. was in the Connecti-
cut State League, playing with
Springfield. the Waterbury team had
Harry O'Hagen on first base and
Collins vouches for the truth of this
story on Harry. It seems that for
more than two seasons OHagen had
amazing success trapping a runner
on first when the game was un-
usually close.
II Waterbury simply had to get
that runner. O'Hagen would never
fail. II got to be almost a super
stition among players. The real
reason came out finally. but not be-
fore OHagen had aided his team ON
innumerable occasions.
He carried a hat pin and would
insert 1t in his glove. Then he'd
signal and the pitcher would throw
the ball over to him. Harry would
jab at the runner with his glove.
The pin would stick him slightly
and bed jump on the sack in sur
prise. Harry would tag him again.
and the umpire would call him out.
After the truth leaked out they
hung the name "Hatpin Harry" on
o'Hagen.
