Arnenian's Wife is
Sold to Turks Harem
Husband Himself Escaped Hanging
BY Painting at Execution Time
and Feigning Death
HOPES TO REUNITE FAMILY

The price that a man must pay to
be Christian in Turkey was re-
counted by IsadOr der Bochos when
he made application In the federal
court in Chicago for a passport to
Constantinople, where he hopes to res
cue his wife from a. Turkish harem.
BochOs' story might have been
plucked from the pages Of history Of
Nero's time. -Four years ago, when
Turkey joined with Germany to crush
the world, wholesale slaughter of
Christian Armenians was ordered by
the Sultan.
With thousands Of others, Der
Bochos and his family were seized.
His wife was sold into the harem of
wealthy Turkish official. Their three
children were scattered.
Der Bochos was sentenced to die.
With 200 Armenians he awaited hang
ing. AS he waited a Turkish guard
was shot at his side. Der BochOs
tainted. When he revived the hang
ings had been completed and he lay
in heap Of corpses. THE executioner
thinking he was dead, had neglected
him.
He escaped into the Russian lines
and served with the Y. M. G. A.
throughout the war. A trusted friend
rescued his daughters and took them
to Russia.
After the war Der Bochos learned
his son, now sixteens years old, had
been brought to America by some ref.
ugees. He found him in Chicago. And
now he wants to go to ConstantinOple
to rescue his wife.
allow can you free her when you
reach Constantinople?" the immigra'
ton agent asked.

have come through so much it seems
l have been aided by miracles. Per.
haps there will be another miracle
and then we will all be together as in
the old DAYS."

to the 154-game schedule. which. un-
til this season, was the custom for
a quarter of a century. With only
month remaining of the present
season, owners. managers and play
ers are beginning to regret the fact
that the 1919 schedule was cut to
40 games. With base ball riding on
a wave of unpreceden popularity
the cutting off of fourteen games for
each club will prove a severe finan-
deprive the players of an extra two
weeks salary. President Johnson of
the American League was one of the
strongest advocates of curtailed
season, fearing the effect of the war
on the game. His ideas prevailed de-
spite strenuous objections by two or
three of the club owners but he
doubtless regrets the fact now. There
even is talk of lengthening the sea-
son beyond the customary limit to
16S games. the addition of three cities
to the list where Sunday ball may
be legally played. being cited as an
argument. The 16S-game plan prob
ably will fail of adoption as too redi-
cal an experiment. but il is almost
assured the schedules draft next win
at home and an equal number on the
road for every club.

army of talent being recruited by
Clark Griffith with the idea of re-
vamping the Nationals has been aug
mented by the addition of Outfielder
Twombly and Infielder Dawson of the
New Haven club Of the Eastern
League. Twombly was developed by
Jack Dunn at Baltimore and was sold
to the Cincinnati Reds for a fancy
figure. Later he was turned over to
the Boston Braves, with whom he saw
service before entering the Army.
This year he has been hitting up close
to the 400 mark for New Haven and
is regarded by Danny Murphy. Connie

He will report to the Nationals in

Putting Stroke Different.

Some doubter once upon a time VEN
tured the suggestion that the stroke
to learn first is the putt. There is
much in this because about As per
cent of the strokes made in a round
are taken on the putting green and
the putting stroke is entirely unre-
lated to any other stroke in golf.
While working out my own game
soon realized that if l expected 70
develop a consistent and reliable golf
game l must learn to systematize my
shots, making all as nearly alike as
possible. With certain general prin-
ciples governing stance and grip fol-
lowing this theory. l have been able to
work out consistent game. NV
drives are sufficiently long and INV
iron shots are under good control.
and. therefore, / think that my theory
in regard to the practice of these
shots Is correct.
By closely relating them I was able

SKILL IN PUTTING.

The average golf professional takes
his pupil out to the practice ground
for his first lesson and places a driver
in his hands. The instructor knows
that the wooden club is a hard one for
the beginner and that frequently he
is unable by it's use to get the ball
into the air. When that is the case
the instructor. knowing that sending
the ball in the air is the greatest joy
of the beginning golfer, substitutes
the midiron for the driver. for almost
any one can hit the ball. at least oc-
-casionally, with that club.
Always, however. the teacher and
pupil keep in mind the idea that the
drive is the foundation stroke Of the
game. This manner of instruction
has been adopted. l think. because the
tee shot is the first shot of the game,
and the general thought seems to be
to take the clubs in the order in which
they are used on the course. 1t makes
a man feel that he is advancing
steadily to the time when he can play
each shot as needed in a round, be-
ginning with a tee shot and ending
with the putt that may or may not
send the ball into the hole.

can imagine my pleasure in meeting
McVey here lately after fifty years.
I was sitting in billiard parlor few
months ago when a well-preserved old
man beside me commented on the
work of few young men engaged in
playing billiards at the table.
Speaking of billiards in general /
happened to mention a tournament /
saw played in 1870.

cinnati Reds that year said the man
beside me. That made me sit UP and
take notice, as 1 thought he was fab
ricating.
What's your name?" I asked,
Cal McVey,' said he.
Shake hands, Cal. I saw you play
base ball fifty years ago. I said.
THE old fellow is not as wealthy as
he ought to be in his declining days
and benefit game was played for him
few months ago. and I regret to say
that the public did not respond as it
ought to have done. He is without
funds.
II have acted as his secretary of
late in writing to few of his friends
in the east. and 1 thought that 1 would
write a few lines to you to see if you
could not put the matter of benefit
of some kind before some of his old
admirers of the famous Reds of other
days. I am sure it would be a Won
derful thing for the old fellow in his
need in his advancing years. Hoping
that you can help him in some way.
