HUGH miller BACK
WITH DECORATIONS

PHILADELPHIA, March 14.-Phila-
delphia fans will hardly remember
Hugh Miller. For their information
it is recounted that he was with the
Phillies in the spring OF 1912, the
same year that Fred Ludvrus came
to the club via the Chicag Cubs. The
Quakers had three first bAsemen that
spring. the two above named and
Kitty Bransfield. When the team
broke training camp at Birmingham,
Ala, the veteran came North with
the regulars. while Miller and Luderus
were assigned to the Yanigans.
Miller did not survive the first
month of the championship season.
He was released to the minors and
subsequently played with the Federal
League He was a splendid felder,
very fast base-runner, but lacked the
punch.
All Of which is a premise to the
statement that Miller has returned
from over there" to his home in St.
Louis a cripple for life, he was one
of the marines to make history by
rolling back the Huns at Chateau
Thierry. He left sick bed in hos
pital to get into the fight.
After capturing two boches and see
ing them headed for the rear, he
plunged forward until halted by
shrapnel wounds. These dressed. he
again went forward, only to be
brought low by a hGiI OF bullets, one
