Looking in France For
That Dutchman's Brother

1t was an exciting moment at By
ron Murray's electrical welding and
blacksmith shop on the Jamestown
road near Cameron street when the
postman at last brought letter with
all kinds of queer foreign marks on
it, for all hands knew 1t must be
from Sam"
The departure of Samuel 7. Beard,
blacksmith, now in Co. c, 315th Ma
chine Gun Brigade, A. e. F., had an
uncommon significance and KICK
to it, for Sam was urged to ennst
early in the fray partly because a Dig
German working for Murray uttered
harsh things about America ana W1s
always Dragging about his brother
Adolph who had skinned out OF
America and was soon writing to
Harrisburg about his brave deeds
for the fatherland. Boss Murray had
set the early morning hour when he
intended to start the American part
of the war with the German black
smith, but the latter was too CRAFTY
and beat it at midnight. This moved
Sam Beard to immediate action and
the last thing he yelled on leaving
| Harrisburg was: "Ill get that Dutch
mans brother over there IL got 10
go clean to Berlin fer him."
The letter, which was posted In
| France" first assures the boss that
his reliable helper is still alive" and;
Il received your card through father
and was glad to know that somebody
thought enough of me to hang QUE
a service flag. 1 won't forget that,
boss, of you. And say, keep 1t flying
until get back and then l will take
| it down. If you see Joe tell MN
| that 1 am looking all the time for his
brother, but if they keep going like
they have been for the past two
weeks 1 don't think I will ever be
able to wing him.
IT have been doing lots and sec
ing much that can't write about. L
| guess you heard about the battle
with the submarine on May 80; Well.
7 was right in the thick of it and
engaged in the fighting. Outside of

no seasickness at all. Good luck to

Nervy Knabe, Of Cubs,
Will Take Defeat Hard

If the Chicago Cubs take the
count to-day no one will feel the
blow more keenly than Otto
Knabe, who has been acting coach
or the team and who was an inn
portant factor in the develop
ment of the machinery. Knabe, in
his prime, was one of the trick
lest of infielders. He possessed the
nerve of a lion and never feared
to attempt anything on any ball
player. The individual made no
difference to him. He probably
has had more fights and argu-
ments on the ball field than any
other man in the game, and that
does not bar Johnny Evers,
Charlie Herzog and Miller Hug
gins. Knabe loved to dispute; it
was part of his aggressiveness
and he could not play che game
we'll unless he wrangled with one
of his opponents.
He did not lose many battles
and seldom failed in any of his
tricks, except once. That time he
was outguessed by Joe Tinker,
who then managed the Cincin-
natl club, in 1913, and it is an
p event in Knabe's life that he will
remember as long as he lives.
And it was being outguessed in
that play that caused the men,
orable fight Tinker and Knabe
had at second base in Cincinnati,
for which both were chased from
the field and later fined by the
president of the league.
Knabe was always a quick
thinker on the field. He was do
ing things to upset the plans of
the opponents. This day Tinker
was perched on first base. A
ball was driven to right field on
a line. When it was hit, Knabe
saw that Tinker would attempt
to make third on the play and it
was up to him to slow Joe up and
make him cover more ground. To
do this he placed himself in such
position that Tinker would have
to go around him, thereby losing
time. Tinker was on the alert and
instantly saw Knabe's bit of STRAIT
egy and acted.
AS he approached the middle
bag, Tinker, instead of running to
the outside of Knabe, shortened
his tride and turned to the in
side. AS he reached the infielder,
ilC liOOhtu lllIll Ou lllc Jaw Win
his right hand, dazing him and
sending him out of the way. For
a moment Knabe did not know
what had happened, but he turn
ed in time to see Tinker slide
safely into third. His trick had
failed.
That was not the end of the
combat. Two innings later Tinker
was again settled on first and a
long fly was driven to deep right
field. Tinker, as soon as the ball
was caught, broke for second. He
made the base easily and Knabe
knew it, but nevertheless he took
the throw and to avenge himself
for the punch he received he
dived into Tinker, throwing all his
weight into him and punching at
the same time. In a flash they
were mauling around the ground.
No damage was done and they
were separated and banished.

STAR TECH FOOTBALL TEAM TO
BECAPTAINED EDBYGILBERT EBNER

Gilbert Elmer, one of the best all
around athletes ever developed at
Tech, was unanimously elected cap
tain of the football team at a meet
ing held last evening after school
by the 'T" men from last seasons
squad.
"Eb" is one of the most popular
lads in the school. He is president
of the senior class, has played two
previous years on the football team;
he was the star forward of the
basketball quintet until he was put
out of the cage game last season by
an attack of diphtheria. He is also
star track man, holding the school
record in the broad jump with a
leap of 21 feet inches. In every
field of sports he has eXcelled. hav-
ing won a "T' in track, football and
basketball.
At last nights practice Elmer was
placed at quarterback. Last season
he played halfback position. The
prior season he held down an end
position. He is undoubtedly one of
the best all-around athletes in the
institution.
Coach Smith held his first prac-
tice last night on the island in prep
aration for the initial contest Sep
tember 2S with Mount Carmel. The
coach put Beck and Wilsbach at
punting with the rest of the squad
doing the catching. Limbering up
stunts were numerous with falling
on the ball, and little tackling as
part of the program. Captain Elmer
and Hoerner were used at quarter
back. with Wilsbach back at full,
| and Lingle and Beck as the half
backs. "Hennie" Kohlman and
Bud Bell were at end. Frank and
PETER played the tackle positions.
Lauster and Arnold were at guard
with Bihl at center.
Practices will now be held daily,
and prospects for a first-class team
were never better at Tech. Ebner's
selection was a popular one and un-
der his leadership, Tech should
prance through it's schedule in the
| best of shape.

Red Sox Confident of Winning
From Cubs in Today'S Game

Yesterdays game gave US a big
edge on the series," observed Man
hger Barrow, of the Red Sox this
morning. according to a Boston dis
patch, and I believe we will be able
to finish up things in to-day's battle.
1t is my intention to work Jones in
the box with Mays in reserve"
Manager Mitchell maintained that
the Cubs have a fighting chance and
it was figured that he would let
Vaughn try again to-day or use Hen
dirk
Boston won the fourth game 80.
in such decisive fashion that hardly
a ten-cent bet could be made to-day
enough, the Cubs outbatted the SoX
by nearly per cent, but their mis-
plays more than made up for this
advantage. The series to-day stood
three for Boston and one for the
Cubs.
Chicago had changes galore to win
and tossed them away through in
ability to make good use of their
openings. They tied the score in the
eighth, only to present the Red SoX
with the winning run, and were un-
able to hit the ball out of the infield
in the ninth, when they had two
men on bases and none out. There is
absolutely no excuse to be made for
the Cubs. They simply were unable
to deliver the punch when they had
Barrow's team set for the knockout.
Their most grievous error was one
of judgment, for which Manager
Mitchell and his board of strategy
are to blame. With two men on bases
and two out in the fourth inning,
Lefty Tyler tried to sneak the
third strike over on Babe" Ruth.
He grooved one perfectly for the
burly southpaw and babe" busted it
far into rightfield, two runs scoring
while Max Flack was chasing the
sphere to the fence. Ruth landed on
third on his hit and would have
scored on Picks wild relay to third
only that Bill Killefer backed up the
throw. Everett Scott was unable to
bring Ruth across, flying out to
Paskert, but the damage was done
and the best Chicago could do was
to tie the score in the eighth, only
to present the SoX with the winning
run in the same inning.
The Cub leader used every bit of
reserve power in the waning innings
TO even up the series but while the.
hitting of the Cubs was more timely
than it had been in any of the games
so far, the batting was discounted
by fielding blunders. A passed ball
by KilleIer figured in the winning
run, but it was a wild throw on an
easy change by Phil Douglas that
sent Wally Schang speeding across
the rubber with the deciding tally.
Mitchell used almost his entire re-
serve force in an effort to stave off
defeat. He called on one substitute
after another and it was his pinch"
hitters which almost proved the un-
doing of the Red SoX, but while
~. L
made good, Barber, the last of the
reserve squad TO be called upon failed
hitting into a lightning double play
that ended the game.

brilliant plays of the series and broke
the Cubs back. With runners on first

ran almost to the plate and pounced
upon Wortman's perfect bunt. 1t
would have been impossible for
either Schang or Bush to make a
play on it, but McInnis seemed to
guess just where the ball was going

pick it up and shoot it to Thomas

brilliant effort, studied out and per-

chance to cheer in the eighth. Ruth

Hendrix. one of the Cub pitchers

for Tyler and lined a clean single

chance for a double play which
would have prevented Chicago's
scoring at all. but he overlooked the
place and Hendrix scrambled back
to second. McCabe was sent to run
for Hendrix and on Hollocher's
