Where Fame Flees.
"A ball players fame is too fleet
ing. You are a star today and has
been tomorrow. There is no perma-
nency. I do not regret having played,
but, at the same time, i cannot help
but wish that I had established my
self along more permanent lines. There
are very few ball players who get
paid in excess of 5000 season
and that is not a remarkable salary
for a man in business. In fact, 1t is
the rule, II the man Is worth any
thing to himself. or his employer.
Again. a ball players life is limited.
At best he cannot last more than
few years in the big leagues-and
there Is his single chance to earn real
money.
"When he is through as a player
he has to start all over again. he
starts under the handicap OF age. 1t
Is harder for him to learn. He hasn't
the foundation and he has to draw
on the money he has saved when a
ball player to get along. BY the time
he is capable Of earning decent wage
his savings nre exhausted and he is
then starting where the young fellow
of 25 years left OF.

his bayonet out Of Boche when an

In the arm. Then the Boche made q

Our nrst line was just on the out
skirts Of the town, In trenches that
had been won and lost By both sides
many times. Our second line was in
the streets and The third line was
almost at the south end Of the town.
The Huns were hard at It, shelling
the battered remains Of Dixmude. and
to the right stretcher bearers were
working In lines % close that they
looked like two parades passing each
other. But the bearers from the COM
pany near mo had not returned from
the emerrency dressing station and
the wounded were piling up. waiting
tor them.

gere had just come up to take their
stations in the crater, under the para
pet Of sandbags. A shell landed among
them Just before they entered the era
ter and sent almost q whole squad
west besides wounding several others.
Almost befoss they occupied the
crater the wires were laid and reached
back to us, and the order came for MS
to remain where Ve were until further
orders.
Then We got the complete orders.
We were to make no noise but were all
to be ready in ten minutes. We put
on goggles and respirators. In ten
minutes the bombers were to leave the
trenches. Three mines were to e1-

STATE POLICE In TENNESSEE

Nashville, Tcnn.-Various methods
of controlling and Of Furnishing mobs
have been considered in Southern
legislatures tho past year; but Tenncc
SEQ has enacted Il law with the kind
Of teeth that can bite n mob in two
before 1t gets to the lynching stage.
This is the first Southern state to
profit by the experience Of Pcnnsyl
vania in roofing out her murdcrous
hoodlums Of Il generation ago.
The governor Of Tennessee now has
state police force Of 600 scattered
through the state but readily mobi-
lized. He has power to call them out
OH his own responsibility whenever
and wherever in his judgment, law
and order are in danger. If a lynch
ing should hereafter occur In this
state the head Of the state would bo
held responsible by public opinion.
This fixing Of responsibility has been
shown to be an essential part Of any
great advance In GOOD governments;
and Tennessee hopes it is through
with mob murders.
