Catcher William Killefer Of the
Cubs has been placed in class 1 by the
district draft board and is subject to
immediate call. He registered origin
ally in Van Buren, county, Michigan.
The county board placed Killefer in
class "A on the ground of having a
dependent, as Killefer was married
October s last. The government con-
tested the case and the district board
unanimously overruled the former
classification.
Evan Buren, county is far behind in
it's quota" said Chairman William 81.
Potter. "The population is heavily
agricultural, class always favored
in exemptions, so Killefer's number
will be reached early. Any man who
can peg to second as he can will be
far more valuable in throwing hand
grenades into the German lines. lie
can make his hits count"

OUTFIELDERS BACK
IN '8Os WERE STARS
Record Number of Assists Were
Made in the Early Days.
Statistics Show That Old Time Fly
Chasers Had Shade on Present
Day FieIders in Throwing Out
Base Runners.

During the season of 1898 George
Van Haltren of the New York Giants
in game against the Washington club
was playing center field. Cy Swain,
who was pitching for the Senators,
while at bat happened to make what
looked like safe drive to center. Nine
times out of ten it would have gone
safe, but Van made mad dash and
gathered it in on the second bound and
without stopping threw to first, the
ball beating the slow-footed Swain by
good six feet, and Cy was sprinting
his best all the time. OF course Van
didn't perform this stunt right along.
Statistics show that the outfielders
back in the sos and '90s had shade
on the present day outfelders in max
ing assists. The best record in num-
Der of assists made In one season in
the majors in recent years, or since
1900, was stacked up by Harry Niles
when with the ST. Louis Cardinals in
1906. Harry nailed 80 men from the
outfeld, getting them at different
bases.
Mike Mitchell, while playing with
the Cincinnati team, equaled the mark
set by Niles, heading off 80 men by
his power to shoot a ball from the
furthest corner of the outield with
sufficient accuracy and speed to get
his man. Ty Cobb, Joe Birmingham.
Iris Speaker, Joe Jackson and Milan
Of Washington all have made especial
ly good records in this direction and
lead their respective teams in throw
ing out base-runners from the remote
corners of the outer garden. In his
day Fielder Jones was past master
in pegging the ball from the outfeld
and nipped many runners.
In the National league since 1900
Murray of the Giants has the most
consistent record of all the old league
outfelders in making assists, he lead
ing the league in four different sea-
sons. Ellis, who used to be with the
Cards, was good at making long throws
and had an average of 25 a season.
Titus, Bates, Cravath and Snodgrass
have good marks for accurate throw
ing from the outfeld.
But the old boys back in the halcyon
days of the sos made some astonish-
ing records in throwing out base run
ners from afar off. Jimmy Fogarty Of
the Phillies averaged an assist from
the outfield every third game he play
ed in. Sam Thompson of the old De.
troits and Phillies was a mighty throw
er in his day.
Jimmy Ryan of the Chicago Nation
ais, left handed though he was, could
shoot a ball from the furthest corner
of the outfield with deadly effect. Bill
LANCE had a wonderful throwing arm
and was feared by all base runners in
the National league.
The great Mike Kelly, back in 1885,
when with Chicago Nationals, made
the greatest record in throwing out
base runners from the outfeld. Mike,
by fair means or foul, pegged out %
men in 81 games. ..s. ss1~Ess esq.,

USED FOLLOW THROUGH

Following through! This has
been the slogan in golf, cricket,
tennis, billiards, punting and in
batting and now Christy Ma
thewson is shouting it at his re-
cruit pitchers.
According to the One-time
master Moundsman," all the
great pitchers of the. national
game who have stretched their
careers over 10, so many seasons,
have used the "follow through"
AS vivid examples, Matty names
such pitching princes as Cy
Young, Eddie Plank, Addie Joss
and Bill Donovan, men who per-
fected free arm delivery that
distributed the strain Of twirling
over almost all of the muscles
of the body.
Matty asserts that there is
only one prominent exception to
the rule and that one is Nap
Rucker, who lasted ten years I'M
der the big tent despite his jerky
delivery. The big Reds boss be-
lieyes the southpaw would have
heightened his career had he
developed a smoother motion.

preston that Alkan was a good shot.
Alkali Ike started in and aimed at
the right of the line of bottles instead
of the left, and the poor boob behind
the scenes started breaking the bottles
on the left, and then the boxholders
turned loose; but outside of this little
fiasco the performance was huge sue

New troops were constantly coming
through, and for six performances we
had the SIS. r. O." sign suspended out

CHAPTER XVIII-continued.


While they are talking, an old Jew
named key Cohenstein comes along,
and Abe engages him for cashier. After
engaging key they meet an old
southern negro called Sambo, and
anon the suggestion of key he is en-
gaoad as porter. Then the three of
Them. arm in arm, leave to take pos
session of this wonderful palace which
Abe has Just paid $4,000 for. (Cur-
Gain.)
In the second act the curtain rises
m the interior of the Diamond Palace
aaloon. and the audience gets it's first
shock. The saloon looks like a pig
non two tramps lying drunk on the
floor. and the bartender in a dirty
shirt with his sleeves rolled up, asleep
with his head on the bar.
Enter Abe, Sambo and key, and the
fun commences.
One of the characters in the second
act was named Broadway Kate, and I
mad an awful job to break in one of
the TOmmies to act and talk like a
woman.
Another character was Alkali Ike, an
Arizona cowboy, who just before the
close of the play comes into the saloon
and wrecks it with his revolver.
We had eleven three-hour rehearsals
before I thought it advisable to pre-
sent the sketch to the public.
The whole brigade was crazy to
witness the first performance. This
performance was scheduled for Friday
night and everyone was full of antici-
patton; when bang! orders came
through that the brigade would move at
two that afternoon. Cursing and
binding was the order of things upon
the receipt OF this order, but we
moved.
That night we reached the little vii
lage of S and again went into rest
billetS. We were to be there two
weeks. Our company Immediately got
busy and secured the village for a
suitable place in which to present our
production. Then we received another
shock.
A rival company was already estab-
lished in the village. They called
themselves 1.-The Bow Bells" and
put on a sketch entitled, "Blighty-
What HOpes?" They were the divi-
SiOnal concert party.
We hoped they all would be soon
IN Bhghty to give us a chance.
This company charged an admission
Of franc per head, and that night
our company went en- masse to see
their performance. 1t really was good.
l had a sinking sensation when 1
thought Of running my sketch in op-
position to it.
IN one Of their scenes they had a
sou0rette called FlOssie. The soldier
that took this part was clever and
made a Incorporating and chic girl.
We Immediately fell in love with her
Until two days after, while we were
On a march, we passed Flossie with
'ner' sleeves rolled up and the sweat
pouring from "her" face unloading
shells from a motor lorry.
As our section passed her I yelled
CUT: Hello, FloSsie; Blighty-What
hopes" Her reply made our love die
out instantly.
"Ah, go to h--l"
1hlS brought quite a laugh from the
,uarchlng column directed at me, and l
Instantly made up my mind that our
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1918-06-05

sketch should Immediately run in op-
position to "Blighty-What Hopes?'
When we returned to our billet from
the march, Curley Wallace, my the
atrical partner, came running over to
me and said he had found a swanky
place in which to produce our show.
After taking off my equipment, and
went over to the building he had picked
out. 1t was monstrous barn with
platform at one end which would make
an ideal stage. The section got right
on the job, and before night had that
place rugged out in apple-pie order.
The next day was Sunday and after
church parade we put all our time on
dress rehearsal, and it went fine.
I made four or five large signs an
nouncing that our company would open
up that evening at the King George the
Fifth theater, on the corner Of Ammo
street and Sandbag terrace. General
admission was one-half franc. First
ten rows in orchestra one franc, and
boxes two francs. By this time our
printed programs had returned from
London, and I further announced that
on the night of the first performance
a program would be given free of
charge to men holding tickets costing
franc or over.
We had an orchestra of seven men
and seven different instruments. This
orchestra was excellent, while they
were not playing.
The performance was scheduled to
start at p. m.
At 5:15 there was a mob in front of
our one entrance and it looked like
big night. We had two boxes each ac-
commodating four people, and these
we Immediately sold out. Then
brilliant idea came to key Cohenstein.
Why not use the rafters overhead, call
them boxes, and charge two francs for
a seat on them? The only difficulty
was how were the men to reach these
boxes, but to key this was mere de-
tail.
He got long ropes and tied one end
around each rafter and then tied lot
of knots in the ropes. These ropes
would take the place of stairways.
We figured out that the rafters
would seat about forty men and sold
that number of tickets accordingly.
When the ticketholders for the boxes
got a glimpse of the rafters and were
informed that they had to use the rope
stairway, there was howl of indigna-
ton. but we had their money and told
them that if they did not like it they
could write to the management later
and their money would be refunded;
but under these conditions they would
not be allowed to witness the perform
ance that night.
After a little grousing they accepted
the situation with the promise that if
rhe show was rotten they certainly
would let us know about it during the
performance.
Everything went lovely and it was
bowling success, until Alkali Ike ap-
reared on the scene with his revolver
loaded with blank cartridges. Behind
the bar on a shelf was long line OF
bottles. Alkali Ike was supposed to
start on the left of this line and break
six of the bottles by firing at them with
his revolver. Behind these bottles
piece Of painted canvas was supposed
TO represent the back of the bar, at
each shot from Alkali's pistol man
behind the scenes would hit one OF the

organizations, will be continued
whether a tax has to be paid on

or not. On the basis of attend

amount to about $4,000. The
