FROM A
SOLDIER BOY
A Letter Received by Mrs. Hinkley
From a Soldier Boy.

n bSbtSI iS$NSifSu by AAihhAS
From a Soldier Boy.
/ Beppard, Germany, Dec. IL, 1913
My Very Dear Teacher:
1 Your very nice letter received and
will get an answer off this morning
while we are waiting to get orders to
move.
Yes, indeed, the good news of the
finish of the war was certainly re-
ceived in good old American style and
the 11th hour, 18th day, 18th month
| of 1918 is one date the world will not
forget for some time l will vouch to
say.
The sky was one grand flare and
each one was doing his bit then if he
din't do it before. Flares were going
up in one continual stream and it was
like day all night of the 11th-
We are certainly getting an exper-
ience that we could not get in a good
many years of travelling. At present
We are on the Rhine and was, by the
way, disappointed as 1 expected to see
something rather larger than what l
saw. But guess that soldier would
MT be satisfied if he had the world and
a promise of Heaven, which trans
lated means discharge"
The castles are very pretty and the
roads are something wonderful with
the winding around the hills-once
in a while they unwind but not often
l wish knew the history of all the
things that / have seen. They would
be very much more interesting. But
to have seen them is something, and J
wouldn't take whole lot for my ex
perience of the past year.
The people are very much different
than we expected ard we like them
so much better than the French that
we have almost come to the conclusion
that exclusive of the military element
of these people, we were fighting our
own kind. True, they should be held
strictly accountable for all the afro
cities committed and l think they will
but l think as a whole, and l don't |
think it an indiscretion to remark as |
a concensus of opinion.
just then the lieutenant came in and
told US to pack up, as we were going |
to move out, and we surely did, and
now we are settled for at least two /
weeks we hear, but one can never tell
about Dame Runlor you know.
We went from Boppard to Coblentz
where we remained over night and
now we are in Montabour.
We are in conservatory and l am
right at home, thanks, with three pipe
organs, one grand and two uprights,
to play on, don't know what they did
with the rest of their pianos but
think it will take me some time to
wear out the ones have now.
This is certainly the prettiest coun-
try that l have seen since l left Idaho
but outside these castles and super
cads they have nothing on us for
7cenery l think.
Tomorrow is the day the Dutchmen
are to vote at their primaries or some
thing like that, and they make quite
a bit over it and guess they have a
right to if anyone has.
Must call this off and roll in, as one
can't burn the midnight oil as they will
in this mans country.
Yours very truly,
Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1919-01-23

A message to the world you wave
CT axalted liberty and light
Which never shall slunlber in the
grave.
Mans inherent right to live
And master of himself to be,
Is represented in your folds
Though emblem of pure liberty.
On many a field of contest great,
Where man has bled and died
To uphold your colors true,
Has no conquest ever tried.
All the conquest you represent
Is right, and love, and truth,
And men today as our fathers did,
Rill die to make this true.
None so humble lowly are
Put what your folds will shield,
And none so strong or would be great
But to your might must yield.
Or all the world from end to end,
Your power will now be felt,
For all know now your mighty power
And what this token meant,

CUBS PUT TACKS
IN CINCY HOPES
BY COPING, 81
Good Twirling by Hippo Vaughn
Helps Crippled Mitchell Men
to Grab Contest.

Cincinnati. Ohio, June 26.-Once
more the crippled Cubs strewed
tacks in the path of the speeding
Reds and kept them from gaining
on the pacemaking Giants yester-
day by winning the only half of
the doubIe-header that could be
played. Score, to 1.
Copious showers during the night
and morning left Red field in no
condition for national pastiming,
but the weather cleared at noon
and permitted staging the regular
combat in fair going.
Hippo Vaughn was opposed on
the slab by Jimmy Ring until the
Cubs knocked him of the hill in
the seventh, after winning the
game. RUDE Bressler went the
rest of the way unscathed.
In spite of the seven hits made
of him, Vaughn had the Reds well
in hand, but he had tough battle.
The Cubs gave him only one run
to work on until the seventh and
Hippo himself registered that tai
~. BESIDES this Trip around the
circuit, Vaughn made two Lifts
which kept him out in the hot sun
a lot of the time, and in the ninth
he did some sprinting trying to
avoid double play.
This last feat 'het up" the al
ready dripping Hippo SO that he
could not find a dry spot anywhere
on his uniform to wipe the per
spiration off his pitching hand.
he gave two bases on
balls in the last of the ninth.
Hippo hit on the expedient
Of having one of the infielders
come in between pitches and by
wiping his hand on their uniforms
Or caps he managed to retire the
side. There were, Reds on second
and third, however, when the last

LARGE field OF
ENTRIES in ALL
REGATTA RACES
@Niss Liberty" of Moline TO be One
of Fast Boats in the Smaller
Class.

According to announcement made
today by Chairman Harry Cooley
of the race committee OF the Miss
issippi Valley Power Boat assocIa-
ton. there Will be big field OF
entries in the various classes at the
annual regatta on the Campbell Is
land course July 4th, 5th and 9th.
The classes In the Mississippi
Valley Association are classified ao-
cording to the size and power of
the motor, this being determined by
the cubic inches Of piston dis.
placement, Thus a four cylinder
motor of inch bore and inch
stroke does not have TO compete
against boats of larger bore and
stroke, consequently greater power.
Any boats, however, from smaller
classes may enter the classes of
larger power. until proved by their
performance to be outciassed, BY
this system If a boatman builds Il
remarkable boat in the small power
classes he is rewarded for his IN
genuity by being able often to cap
ture many of the prizes all up the
line,
One of the class boats to-be seen
this year will be Miss Liberty" o.

CONNIE MACK TO RETIRE AS
PILOT, LATEST DIAMOND RUMOR
BY n. e. BROWN.

A recent report emanating from
New York, states that Connie Mack
will retire in the near future as
manager of the Athletics. The
rumor has it that he is tired of the
worka nd wants to devote his time
to the business end of the club.
Harry Davis, Mack's lieutenant,
for years, is slated to become man
ager of the White Elephants.
If the dope is true and Connie
does step out as pilot it will mean
the passing from the managerial
ranks of the oldest man in point of
service in that angle of baseball.
Connie broke into the managerial
business in 1894. He succeeded Al
Buckenberger as pilot of the Pitts
burgh Pirates. He managed them
in 1895 and 1896 also and then be-
came boss of the Milwaukee club in
the Western league Five years
later he became pilot and part
owner of the Athletics when that
outfit joined the American league
He has been guiding the team
through its ups and downs-most-
ly ups-ever since. This is his
nineteenth year on the job.
And what record he has set up
in those years:
Six league pennant winners.
Three world remnants.
Three second place teams.
One third place team.
Two which landed fourth.
One sixth place club.
And one sixth place outfit.
This is the record in the first
fourteen years with the Quaker
City crew. The last five seasons
Mack has spent trying to build up
q new machine. He broke up his
old team after losing the 1914
world series. His young club has
landed in the cellar every year.
Despite the fact that. he has
failed to build up a new powerful
aggregation in these seasons his
work in the other years places
him at the head of the list of de-
velopers of ball players. He is
wizard at picking future greats
and training them. His wonderful
team which started wrecking the
league in 1910 and reigned su-
preme until 1914, with the excep-
ton of the loss of the 1912 world
series, was made up entirely of
players Connie developed.
Davis was Comics right-hand
man for many years until Davis
quit the game in 1917. He was

ing made by virtually every wrest-

In addition to the offers from
various promoters, strong efforts
are being made by Caddock's
friends to get hip back TO the mat
This is particularly true among
the men of the Eighty eighth di-
TT + III i
overseas.
Shortly after returning home.
the men in Caddock's regiment
held a meeting and urged the
champion to return to wrestling as
quickly as possible, and promised
him unlimited support
Caddock won the title from
Stecher in Omaha two years ago,
defeating the Nebraskan by de-
fault after each had won a fall in
a match which lasted throughout
most of the night. Stecher won
the first fall and Caddock the sec
ond. Stecher did not appear after
the intermission and his manager
announced that he had forfeited
the match. though Steeher after
wards said that the announcement
was made through a misunder-
standing.
Caddock proved to he one OF the
most popular champions the wrest-
ling game has produced. A light
man-for a heavyweight wrestler
he sprang into popular favor by
meeting all corners and repeatedly
throwing men much larger than
himself.
He went through n whfrlwind
campaign after winning the title,
defeating ZbySzko. Lewis, DIN,
and other top-notchers. His last
match was in Des MONIES while he
was in training at Camp Dodge.
