BY JOSEPH MALESKI.
American Hero Wounded in the
Battle at Chateau-Thierry.
SECOND

GEAONO NEAkAL EAb-
/ had never been on such a big ship
before. And / had never seen the
ocean before. OF curse. I had been
out on Lake Erie, but this was diff
ferent-ten days steady steaming
across rle ocean. You know It's still
wonderful to me. ] don't know where
they get all that water.
The first day our bunch was busy
shaking down into quarters. We were
a bit crowded, but we slept all right
and we had good eats and smokes.
What did we talk about? Well. most
fy about two things-whether we were
going to be sea-sick or were we going
to be attacked by German subs. We
didn't have q thrill.
OF course we had life drills and
we learned how to put on appliances
to keep us afioat. I guess some of US
didn't think how serious things
might be until our officers told us
about what life-boats or RATS We
were to get into in case of attack and
how we were not to move until we
were ordered.
We were April-fooled on that trip
after all. We saw land and we
thought it was France. But when we
got ashore found we were in England.
where everyone talked the same Ian
guage we did and turned out to show
us how welcome we were and how
glad they were to see us. We were
there three weeks, being billeted
from town TO town and always on the
move toward the south of England
and the channel ports. We were
getting some final touches In our
training. I remember n thing that
tickled our fellows. In one training
camp they had some Englishmen to
show us how to throw out q skirmish
line. Then u officers showed them
how we do it. You know. the old
fashioned way, the first Americans

had when they fought the Indians.
Guess may be we weren't proud
when the English said they couldn't
teach US anything; that we had 1t all
over them when 1t came to that open
fighting skirmish business.
OF course there were things they
did show us hat came in handy
angles of the trench game, grenad ,
throwing, etc.
Then one night we were moved to
France in a quick trip on h train
and across the channel In a swift
boat. 1t was funny to be in a coun-
try where you couldn't understand
the lingo and read the signs. but we
were kept too busy to bother about
that They moved us along from n
town to another and we q u
share of hiking. 1t rained every day
and when 1t didn't rain 1t poured.
But we didn't care. We were in
Francei
We felt sure we would get our
chance at the enemy. They were com-
ing down the line like a house afro,
taking towns and smashing armies.
OF course we didn't hear all the news.
You folks back home get that quicker
than we do. But via lip-to-lip tele-
graph we knew things looked bad
for the French and the English and
that General Pershing had offered all
his army to General Foch. Gee, you
ought to have seen how busy our
bunch got. The officers didn't have
to tell 'em to. OF their own accord
they got out their rifles and oiled
them and polished them. And you'5
see a fellow slipping away to where
he could put a little more edge on
his bayonet. The Trenches call heir
long slender bayonets Resale" We
didn't call ours by any pet names. but
we put an awful lot Of trust in EN-
and we made up u minds there
would be a heap of big doings when
we got in touch with Fritz.

IN THE FIELD OF SPORTS
Mola Bjurstedt Wins New
Jersey State Tennis TITLES

Miss Molla Bjurstedt added two
more titles to her large collection
Saturday by winning both the singles
and doubles of the New Jersey State
women's championship tournament
on the courts of the Orange Lawn
Tennis Club at Mountain Station, N.
J.
The famous Norwegian scored an
Impressive victory In the singles, win
ing from Miss Marion Zinderstein, the
Boston girl, in two comparatively
easy sets by the score of Ga, Ga. At
no stage OF the match was Miss Zin-
derstein capable of checking the
steady drive of her renowned rival.
Paired with Mrs. Spencer Fullerton
Weaver, of New York city, Molla won
the doubles championship from Mrs.
Stuart Green and Mrs. Louis Governor
Morris in another straight-set match.
The score was 60, 7-5. This match
was far more interesting than the
singles, there being q number of
stubborn rallies between Miss Blur
stedt and Mrs. Green.
Miss Bjerstudt at present Is playing
n greatest game since she arrived
In this country, and IL will be some
time before she is defeated In an in
divfduad match Saturday she was
exceptionally fast in covering her
court and her sttadiness In returning
n hardest kind of shots was remark
able. Against this kind of playing,
Miss Z~inderstein, Mrs. Green and Mrs.
Morris found II almost impossible to
make any Roadway.

(Written for the EVENING NEWSl
1t is at this seasonNof the year that
"a large percentage of trapshooters
drop their single trap guns@"pumps"
and breech-loading single sticks'-
and unlimber the good old double.
The latter has YER been known as
"the g~entleman's game gun" Many
duck clubs demandlts US through the
organization bylaws, hence. a the
trapshooting season wanes, 1t be-
comes more in evidence.
As the d~esiduous trees of earlier
leaf shedding. the poplar, cottonwood,
etc, begin to drop their foliage. a
suggestion of fall is in the air and Mr..
Duckshooter is at the traps for hat
practice which means q full~beg. For
the sportsman who contemplaees 60
ing af1eld either for ducks or upland
game, a session or two at the traps
prior to his departure will mean much
as to results, since 1t keys him up Tor
that quick calculation which game
shooting demands.
It is pleasing to the trapshooter to
note the trend of patriotism whinh
governs every shooting program n
may now pick up. liberty Bonds,
