He wore soldier uniform, and he
was passing the hat for Clark Griffith's
bat and ball fund, smiling his old in
genious smile as he worked through
the crowd, saluting friends Of his base
ball days.
A salutation from Lank Hank is
like a blast of fresh air. 1t is no
casual nodding with him-no num-
bling how-d'y-do sort of greeting. He
tells the world when he says hello.
He is always glad to see people, and
he wants them to know it.
It struck us that day that it was
singularly appropriate for Lank Hank
Gowdy to be there in that uniform !:
1t seemed to us quite in line with his
spectacular career, and it strengthened
the appeal which the personality Of
Hank has always had for our imagina-
tiOn.
He was the first baseball notable
to enlist for service. Many another
will follow in his footsteps during
the coming winter, but Lank Hank
was first. That will be his claim to
fame long after his deeds on the dia-
mond have been forgotten.

CARTER AT THE FRONT
Sensational New York Golfer Do
ing His Bit in France.
Driver Of Red Cross Ambulance Tells
Of Great War Game for Which
He Has Forsaken Links-
Under Fire Many Times.

Phil Carter, the sensational young
New York golfer, is doing his bit with
the American Red Cross in France,
where he drives an ambulance close to
the firing lines, day after day.
In recent letter to friends on this
side of the pond Carter told something
of the great war game for which he
has forsaken the links. He has been
under fire many times, and the night
drives he has been forced to make,
along rough and treacherous roads,
without lights, have convinced him
that war is terribly serious game.
1--WE have often been within two or
ter, ''and it is impossible to describe
the sensation that comes over one
when he comes within range Of the
big guns.
''The roar of the heavy artillery is
something terrific, and on one occa-
sion we hadn't been in camp more
than fifteen minutes when the Ger
mans commenced shelling the whole
countryside. You can hear the re-
port when the big guns are fired and
then the whistle of the shell as it
comes screaming overhead. Then fol-
lows thunderous report, and a lot
of earth, house or whatever the
shell hits is thrown high into the air.
If you can hear the shell whistle you
are all right, but if you can't you
have to watch your step, for it is
very likely to hit close by.

also an ex-Giant, attended the
Plattsburg camp. Bill O'Hara,

tonight by the war industries board
and fuel and railroad administrators
will tend to create expansion Of in

The reason for the action which al

some degree, is primarily the inabil-
lay of the railroads to supply coal or
haul promptly the manufactured pro-
ducts.
The policy has been under consid-

Officials in charge of quantity pro-
duction for the government point out
that the demand for war material Is
actually greater at present than the
capacity OF manufacturing plants and
that consequently a continual expan-
sioE is in progress. II is this expan-
sion which the government hopes to
promote in the less congested middle
west and south and to prevent in the
east TO some extent the execution
of the policy will affect factories
