Boston Official and Ex-Mayor Cur.
ley Both Deny Story.

BOSTON. January arthur c.
Wise. treasurer and acting president
Of the Boston National Leag que base
ball club, emphatically denies the
story sent out from Chicago that the
Braves have been sold Wise stated
officially that the owners have moth
ing to announce regarding any deal
for control of the club. which is gen.
orally supposed to be on the market.
I'VE have not sold the Braves" he
said, and when we do we shall tell
the fans about it ourselves. That
stuff about our wanting to get rid of
Stallings and gettink Johnny Evers
back is even worse than the tale
about our having sold the club to Mr.
Curley."
ExMayor James NJ. Curley, to whom
controlling interest of the Braves had
been sold. according to the dispatch
from the west, also said that there
was no truth in the story and that he

American children yesterday instead of

HOW GRANT WAS KILLED
Chaplain Wacker Writes Manager
McGraw About Death of Popu-
lar Player.

NEW YORK, January 2.-The fol-
lowing letter was received by John
McGraw from Chaplain Henry d.
Wacker, T. s. A, who presided at the
funeral ceremonies over Capt. Eddie
Grant when the latter lost his life in
the Argonne forest:
This letter comes to you from one
who is a total stranger to you. The
reason ! am writing it is because I am
sure you would like to know about
the death of one who was associated
with you as a member of the Giants,
namely, Capt. Eddie Grant, 304th In
fantry. 1t was my sad duty to bury
the remains near the spot where he
paid the supreme sacrifice for the
great cause for which he came over
here to France.
He lost his life in leading an attack
against the boches who had surround
ed several companies of the 30Sth In
fantry. trying to break through an
impossible barrier of machine gun
and artillery fire. Although tired and
worn out by a campaign of heavy
fighting, he nevertheless gladly &C
copied the command to accomplish
what several others had failed to DO.
AS he led his command to attack he
fell, the victim of machine gun fire.
herocally giving his life that his COM
rades in arms in the 154th Brigade
might be rescued. After short while
we were able to approach the spot
where he fell and secure his body. We
buried him in a place where several of
his fellow officers lie buried, which
had been prepared by the Germans in
the Argonne forest in a small ceme-
terry for their dead.
capt. Grant was the most popular
man in the 304th Infantry, well be-
loved by his men, who would follow
him wherever he led the way. He
had no fear of death, going where
duty and honor called him. Now he
lies near the spot where he poured
out his lifeblood that liberty and
justice may prevail"

WENT TOLEND A HAND
AND THEY TOOK A LEG
So Remarked Husky Lad From the
West in Sick Bay of Returning
Steamer-Miss Kellam, Nurse.

NEW YORK. January IT went
10 France to lend hand and they
took a leg"
He was big lad from a middle
western farm. the American soldier
who called out this jest to cheer his
nefghbor in the sick bay of the En-
press of Britain, the first transport
to arrive here with litter cases,
from the American hospitals in
France.
That is Just q sample of the never
failing humor of these boys, rising
above suffering. above helplessness. :"
said Miss Maude Kellam, chief nurse
on the big vessel, as she came ashore
a few days ago.
All the way over they yearned for
a sight of the old girl in the har-
bor." she continued, yet when we
came up the bay and none of them
could get on deck to hail the Statue
Of Liberty as we passed there were
no complaints.
This is the spirit now, but Tn
afraid for the future" said Miss KEEL
lam. who was superintendent of
nurses at the Colorado Training
School before she entered the Army
service. She urged women to pre-
pare themselves for their part in the
reconstruction period, not in the dew
astated regions of Europe, whose
people. she said, preferred to handle
the problem themselves, but here at
home.
There is plenty of reconstruction
work for the woman who wants to
help" she asserted. I'm afraid our
enthusiasm is going to spend itself
after a year or so-just about the
time our wounded soldiers are be-
ginning to feel only bitterness at the
thought Of the missing leg Then
they VIII need the women I don't
know just what the women will be
called upon to do, but their work will
turn UP. The boys will need their
enthusiasm and sympathy then more
than now"
