Sioux Indians Had Fun for Three Days
Talking over Tapped

Because of the nature of the cOun-

Germans found it easy at times to cut
in on our field telephone wires.
The commander of one brigade OF

sDges from artillery observers were
being intercepted by Boche listeners
In, and the commander knew, as all
armies know. that no code Is impreg-
nable when experts get working on Il.
The artillery commander took up
with the colonel of one of the line reg
iments the question of the 'Iuns' wire
tapping activities. And the colonel
hit upon an idea
Two Indians, both of proud Sioux
lineage, members of one of his COM
panies, were assigned as telephone
operators. One was to 90 forward
with the artillery observer, the other
to remain at the brigade receiving end

mander was certain the Germans had
that day tapped somewhere along the
line.

ing considered as mere incident In
the rather eventful history of the
game.
President John A. Hcydler of the
National league is of this opinion. He
does not believe that the decision of
jury can possibly retard the devel.
opment Of the pastime and he predicts
highly successful comeback for the
game.
Just as long as the competitive game
Is maintained on the same high basis
that has characterized II for so many
years, baseball will thrive. The fact
that the fan doesn't give two whoops
about the business side of the game
has often been demonstrated.
The new order of things which Pres.
ident Ban johnson Of the American
league predicts and which President
Heydler suggests may come to pass,
will probably work benefit rather
than hurt to the business In the long
run.
AS baseball Is now constituted, the
player contract, with the reserve
clause, the draft law and the agree
ment between leagues stands us its
backbone, for despite the supposed
abrogation of the national agreement,
the minor leagues are still affiliated
with the majors officially.
The fact that club can keep one
ball player rs long us 1t chooses to do
so or let him out on ten days notice
has been the bugaboo of the game. A
new form of contract that will satisfy
most any court will he about all that
baseball will need in the way of
change.
There Is no need for dIssolvlng the
national commission because of the
Baltimore verdict.
