PLAYERS FORCED TO
 UMPIRE GAMES

The uNpires assigned to the game failed to arrive, and it was necessary for players to run the games. Henge- weld and Coffindaffer handled the first one, and Coffindaffer and Stone off, ciated in the second The player ar biters got by very well except five Little Rock fans accused Coffindaffer of going to the rescue of Sigman in the sixth inning, when he called a third strike on McGinnis and retired the side. The bases were loaded at the time. However, the fans took it as part of the joke of losing two games and made only a mild demonstration.
 Now, getting back to the first inning of the day Mcdonald started with a single to right. Summa was hit by a pitched ball, Stevenson beat out a bunt, and the bases were filled. Bernsen hit a rounder towards third, which Stone went after and got too late to make a play anywhere, Mcdonald scoring. El- lis hit to McGinnis, who caught Summa at the plate. Hairston rapped single to left, Stevenson and Bernsen scoring, Stone went out, and Karr went in. Webb fired a hit over third, and Ellis scored. Peters singled to right Hair ston and Webb scoring. Glazner pod ped to IHstel. Peters stole second Me Donald made hN second hit of the in- ming, q single to center, which scored Peters. Summa fired a double down the first base line and McDonald scored. Stevenson closed the slaughter by flaming.
 A double by Frierson, base on balls to Distell. an1 singles by Grimm and Walsh scored two for Little Rock in the first. Bernsens triple and Ellis sacri- flee fly gave the Barons one more in the second. Singles by Ellis Hairston, and Mcdonald, with sacrifice fly by Cleaner, and wild throw by McGinnis, gave the Barons three in the fifth, and made it a dozen for them.
 A base on balls to Distell, and singles by Kinsella and Brottem, gave Little Rick one in the fifth. Glazner forced in a rln in the sixth inning, when a single and two bases on balls filled the bags, and another base on balls produced run. Singles by Walsh and McGinnis, and Warr's double scored two in the seventh. The Travellers made their last run in the eighth on singles by Kinsella and Grimm, and an infie1d O1It

WAITING WORSE THAN
WAR FOR CHAPLAIN
Former Camp Meade Worker
Tells Of Anxiety to Get Home
Following Armistice

The Rev. Samuel Taggart Steele. Jr.
former curate at st. Clements Epis
copal Church. Twentieth and Cherry
streets. a chaplain in Uncle Sam
army. is back from France.
H. arrived in France early last Oc-
tober as the sky pilot of the 316th
Engineers, and got on the firing line
three days before the armistice.
IT cannot be styled n fighting par
son" said the chaplain today. because
my fighting career consisted of long
sprints, but ran in the right direction
for we were after Fritz. We were on
his heels and makir< it warm for him
in the town of Audenarde when he
quit.
Although former Philadelphian, the
chaplain is best known for his work
among the Philadelphia soldiers at
Camp Meade. In September. 1917, he
went to Meade as the representative
of the Episcopal church, and remained
in that camp until the Liberty Division
sailed for France.
During those months he was fighting
for commission. but the fates were
against him. He had the courage, but
failed in the medical tests, and not
until late last August was he accepted
for duty. Then they put me with a
western DIVISION" he explained today,
''and gave me the privilege of getting
on the firing lines.
II now appreciate what war means,
lat hn Argt Nf
the war followed the armistce. Wait
ing TO get home proved greater task
on the men than fighting the boche,
and everybody in France is tired of
military life. The reaction following
the armistice developed a genuine nerve
tension. and in my case that condition
was not relieved until my transport
docked at HobOken.
Captain Steele now lives in Balti-
more.

Men Suffered Greatly
"No one has any conception of the

Miss Margaret A. Dunlop Re-
turns to Hospital Here
after Long Var Service

DECLARING that she feels Every
~ much like an ally" after having
served two years in France with nm
american staff at a British hospital.
Miss Margaret A. Dunlop. chief nurse
of Pennsylvania Base Hospital No. 10,
is nevertheless. glad to return to Phila
delphia and take up her work as matrop
and superintendent Of the Pennsylva-
mia Hospital
After her long absence il was inter.
esting to know that what impressed
her most about America" was that
here there was much of everything
except khaki The abundance Of
sweets particularly interested her, for
cakes are only just now appearing in
the shops of France.
Another thing that interested her
was that when the boat arrived last
week, bringing home sixty eight of
the nurses in her unit. reporters from
all the New York and Philadelphia
papers were more eager to know how
many of the nurses were engaged to
be married than how much work they
had done in France.
Handled A. 900 Patients
And no wonder Miss Dunlop is in
tcrested in the work that was done, for
the hospital at Lc Trcport took care Of
more than 1900 patients during the
eighteen months that the unit was there.
They handled 5000 cases of Americans
from the Twenty seventh and Thirtieth
Divisions, who were brigaded with the
British.
'One thing we learned was how to
handle large numbers said Miss Dun
lop. when you have more than 1900
cases coming to the hospital in one
week, you have to learn how to handle
them quickly.
THE one thing that stands out most
clearly is the night last spring when
the hospital was full to its limit with
22j0 patients. and we had only forty
eight hours to evacuate it and take
every one of those men to Rouen. That
was during the Amien drive, and half
the nurses were sent with the men and
the other half stayed on Mt the hos
pitsl to pack the apparatus and wait
for the last minute to leave in case the
Germans broke through. We stayed
for two weeks with not one patient on
the hill.
