PITCHER KLEPFER
 LUCKY AT FRONT

Ed Klepfer, handsome hurler of the Cleveland Indians, joined his club a few days ago. Ed worked his way up to a lieutenancy in the army and went overseas from Camp Lee. He was made lieu tenant and scout officer a few weeks before the armistice was signed and had several narrow es- capes. In telling of his experience Ed says:
 Just blamed bull-headed luck brought me back. A piece of shrap- mel hit one of my knuckleS, bruising the finger but causing no real dam- age. A machine gun bullet took away part of one of my gloves and killed the man next to me. A piece of shrapnel carried away the front of my uniform coat. A spent bullet hit me in the leg, while anothvr which was far from being spent nicked me in the left arm. Now, if you don't call those close calls, luck, what is?'
 Klepfer was gassed also and he feels the effect of this more than his wounds.

With a score of to in their favor, the local men came back with the unanimous statement that Hayden not only has the best ballteam, but the best and fastest ball grounds and the most enthusi- astic bunch of ball fans they have ever seen. Nearly 1.500 people att snded the game and kept busy roofing" ev- cry inch of the way.
 The game was pitchers battle from 1 the drop of the hat, Dick Heflin allow 1 ing only four hits and Miller, the Hay den twirler, six Miller struck out five and Heflin four. Heflin's support in l the infield was as solid as a rock wall, not a hit ball that could be handled getting through.
