the first game for the Chicago Sox.

Clty-Made Good.

Charles b ("Babe') Adams, hero Of
the 1909 world series, will try to come
back with the Pittsburgh Pirates this
year. Adams is thirty-f1ve years old
and real veteran as pitchers go.
It was in 1915 that Adams took the
tob0ggan with the Pirates and was
labeled as through by the scribes. His
pitching for that year was more or less

and succeeded in losing nine more be.

won 20 games Of ball for the HutchiD-

pitchers In the league, which has al.

and many crafty old-tmer who is

Adams record with the Hutchinson
club won him trial with John CAMEL
at Kansas City last season and during

captured IA games of ball and lost but

CANNOT PLAY BALL

According to Bert Lourey,
sporting editor of the San Fran
cisco Call, who has but recently
returned from France, where he
was engaged in Y. M. G. A. work,
the French cannot grasp our
game Of baseball. "They are too
slow in getting in front Of the
ball, and duck when liners come
their way" he says.
Bill LANCE, the old-timer, who
has also been overseas, backs
this statement, saying that try

game was q hopeless task.

along the nearest road for collection
IN army trucks The colored fighters
received instructions that whenever
they came across an unexploded shellI
they were not to touch It but to put
up a little stick beside It with a note
so that the munition salvagers could
find It later.
The doughboys soon made the dis.
covery that the Germans in their
flight abandoned hundreds Of machine
guns and even large pieces of artillery
which the Yankees, In their hurry to
advance, had failed to see.
Loaded in Box cars.
One Of the discoveries made BY the
Americans who have completed the
task Of cleaning up the battlefield was
the unusually large number Of ma
chine guns the Germans had installed
In the Argonne forest. No Information
was Secured as to the number the
enemy was able to save In his fight
toward the Rhine, but thousands of
these weapons were left behind. In
one small sector Of the battlefield sew.
eral hundred cars were loaded with
machine guns
In one town located in the rear Of
the battlefield there is pile Of brass

mans, that would more than I'LL the
hold Of large ocean freighter. Il
was estimated that nearly 100000
shell cases had been piled in that VII
lage. These have been purchased BY
the French government.
Salvage Work Expensive.
Experts with the American expedi.
tionary forces have estimated that the
Yankees had captured 200 per cent
more war booty in the Argonne forest
than their records will show. This
was due, it is said, to the rapidly of
the American advance and to the
hurry Of the Germans to leave their
dugouts and weapons and surrender to
their conquerOrs.
The work Of cleaning up the Ar.
COME battlefield, however. has been an
expensive one, although vast quaint.
ties Of copper, brass and steel have
been salvaged. It has cost more than
to complete the task. but
the work has been success financial
ly, as the booty is worth more than
twice that sum.
