Our Departure and Arrival
{ By Chas. GiVens. Co, ~


We left Dear old Camp Taylor,
Twas on the first September morn;
We were bound for dear old France,
Where the great battle ia going on
We arrived at Camp Merritt,
On that Wednesday afternoon:
The Captain said don't worry boys,
We are going to leave here soon.
Twas on that Friday morning,
I'll say about four clock,
We marched to the Alpine Landing;
Then we arrived at the Hoboken dock
That great war was raging.
We had no time to spare,
Soon we were at our destination.
Where the Steamer awaited us there
We laid in the docks all that night,
And all that following day,
And when the ship stold out at morn,
We knew we were on our way.
The boys all seemed to be jolly,
The sad hearts were no more
All that the boys were saying,
Was, let US reach that blessed shore.
We boys (alD yelled and shouted,
Our officers thought it was grand,
To see that eager, and brayeness,
Was in the heart of every man.
/ Weasaled and sailed five days or more
No U-boats had we seen,
Until one day about two o'clock,
We were attacked by submarine.
The Captain commanded life boats on
But. that did not stop our float,
TIE boys walked quietly up the steps.
Soon every man was at his boat
As every man stood at his boat,
We were ready to be lowered,
The Captain said mo harm done boys
/ God Almighty was with all on boad.
We were a thousand on board or more
We had not one excited man;
Because God is with You on the sea,
As well as>oa the land
SO we sailed on across the great At
lantic,
For nearly eight days or more.
And at last one foRgy morning.
We reached that foreign shore.
And when we had disembarked
We marched through the city Of Brest
And after a two hours hike,
We reached the camp OF Rest
We stayed there all that night
Until the following day
So the bugle sounded the Assembly;
And we were ordered to move away.
SO we moved farther up in France,
To complete our course Of training,
The boys worked faithful every day;
Should the sun shine, or twas raining.
The boys seemed to be anxious,
To give all that was in their hearts,
So whom the time did come to go,
Every man could do his part.
The grit that was in the American
boys,
Was never to retreat
And on the eleventh November day.
The Germans acknowledged defeat.
And tho we know the war is won,
From beginning to the end,
There will be no Peace On EARTH,
Till there's good will towards all men.

SARATOGA, Aug. 17.-Another big week

They are Billy Kelly, Star Hampton

down for decision on Thursday. Satur-
day very likely will be another record
breaker, with the Grand Union for two

and the Beverwyck Steeplechase as the
major events.
The Grab Bag is an event of the
sportsmanlike character Of the Saratoga
Special in that the nominators go in it
blind and race practically for their own
money. The Grab Bag became a Sara
toga fixture in 1914.
Man o. War, which has known defeat

Union and after that in the Hopeful

The Grand Union candidacy of Man
o. War invests the impending renewal
OF that special with keen interest. The
sharps of the East are rating Man O.

burg, Campfire. Novelty and Regret.
There IL a strong probability that In the
Grand Union Man o. War will have a
chance to meet the colt the Western fra
ternity have elected champion among
the smart colts and Allies of the Blue
Grass. High Command. son of The
Manager and Ellen-a-Dale, is the West
ern crack Man O. War may meet in the
Grand Union.
High Command has started twice In
the West. He finished third on a slow
track to Marjorie Hynes and Lord Ham
ilton at Latonia on June and he de-
feated the S12, 400 Westwood, Inspector
Hughes and Lord Hamilton on fast
track on June II, running 6ve-eights Of
a mile around a turn in better than l 100
fiat and winning by eight or ten lengths
High Commads shins were bucking in

that Major Thomas Clay Mcdowell has

JIMMY HILL GETS A
MATCH WITH YALGER
Clever Featherweights to Box
in Jersey City Early in
September.
ny CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

Jimmy Hill, who claims the Austrlal.
ian featherweight championship, after
repeated efforts, at last has obtained a
mscht with a worthy opponent. Benny
Valger the French featherweight has
consented to meet the Australian, and
John Jennings has undertaken to stage
the contest at the Armory A A. Jersey
City early in September.
AS valger In the leading challenger Of
Kilbane, and IL a classy boxer, the
contest should furnish a clear idea Of
the ability Of the boxer from the
antipodes.
while the work of Hill Is not 90
we'll known to Americans as that OF the
late Les Darcy. yet the featherweight is
said by those who have seen him In the
ring to be quite as good in his division
az was Darcy in the middleweight class
II this view OF the case Is sustained by
succeeding events in the ring. there
should be somc violent surprises for
the feather and lightweight divisions
in this country.
As Kilbane has refused an offer Of a
$40. 600 guarantee to meet Valger 1t can
readily be seen that Hill is apt to have
his troubles when he gets into the ring
with the Frenchman.
fIin will be compelled in preparing
for this match to train for speed rather
than endurance. The Australian is ac-
customed to boxing 20 round bouts,
which naturally encourage slow starting.
The eight and ten round contests
prevalent in this country require speed
from the first gong to the last.

this was repeated at the end of the nth

Dean garnered a bit the better of the

Heron was slightly better than his

shooting excellent golf, captured 4. In
