ZIMMERMAN TO MISS
 RED SMITH THIS YEAR

Heinie Zimmerman probably will miss J. Carlisle 'rRed' Smith, who has been obtained by Washington this year, for though Heinie is through as a Giant, he no doubt will remain in the National League while his old friend Red is performing in the American. Heinie and Red always took the keenest delight in riding each other every time they hooked up, yet they are really very good friends Last &al1, when the Giants met the Braves for the last time, Arthu UT Fletcher conveyed Heinie's regards to Smith, Heinie being in New York under suspension at the time. "Heinie tells you goodbye, Red, '' said Fletcher, ttand also says he'll see | you next year"
 .'He will, eh?' parried Smith. "AsE him where I'll have to go to see him next year.

BILL BRENNAN WANTS
 CHANGE AT DEMPSEY

Leo F. Flynn, manager of Bill Brennan, has the following statement about his meal ticket:
 While the wartime activities of Jack Dempsey are bothering some of the soldiers and sailors who fought EallantIy to stem the German tide, Busy Bill Brennan is one member of the American Legion, who wants to be recorded as being favorable to the pugf1istic champion of the world. Brennan is more than friendly with Dempsey on this score but that is as far as his friendship goes."
 All of which was preliminary to a challenge buried by Brennan to the worlds champion for combat in a reg ulation ring with five ounce gloves. Brennan believes thss1 shortly Demp- sey will want to step into his fighting togs again and take a flyer at the contendeEs- . At that moment Bren- nan wants to be directly in the path of the champion ready to gIVe ana take. E
 Since Brennan was mustered out of ff1e navy he has been working with 1ust one thought in mind. That was a second meeting with the champion. It will be remembered that when Dempsey and Brennan met the latter turned his ankle trying to sidestep a punch and fractured a small bone. lie continued for five rounds on the brok- en ankle before he was forced to re- tire. Dempsey never knocked out Brennan In fact Dempsey will still declare that his hardest fight was with Brennan
 Brennan believes that he can bea Dem psey. Every fight critic in the country places Brennan second tt Dempsey Since Dempsey needs battle before he wades into the d1f1 entities of a meeting with George Garpentier it seems only right that h. thick out Brennan for his test Bren / nan is willing. Dempsey should be.

WIPED OUT FLYERS
English Airmen Made Short Work
of Turkish Enemy.
Breakfast Proved a Very Much De-
iayed Meal, but Still the Results
Were Worth Little Spell
of Hunger.

When in the winter of 1917-1S, Gen
eral AlIenby decHled To wipe out the
Turkish army the next fall. he planned,
with the assistance of Emir FeiSal and
his Arabian troops, to take Nazareth
and Galilee. FeisaI led a camel troop
of TWO thousand men inland into the
desert III the late summer of 1918, says
d writer in the Red Cross Magazine.
There We're heat and flies that few
led far north behind the Turkish army
that was facing Allenby.
When they had cut the only railway
by which the Turkish armies down
below could get their supplies, and
had blown up bridges and long stretch
es of track, the Arabs fell back into
the desert to await Allenby's drive,
and there the Turkish airpIanes found
them. Nine machines spent most OF
their time over the huddled FeiSal
army.
By good luck, Colonel Lawrence.
Feisals adviser, an Englishman whose
endurance proved equal to the hard
ships Of the trip, had arranged that
General Allenby should send an air
plane for reports, and at the appoint
ed time he went out on camel to meet
the machine. 1t came, a speck in the
sky at first and finally it landed and
a British officer stepped out.
You stay here" said Lawrence.
my servant will take care of you. l
must go to Allenby myself to ask him
for airplanes."
Before the officer could protest, Law
renee was off and in a few hours was
talking with Allenby
1--WE must have airplanes," he told
the general. IF we don't stop those
Turkish planes our Arab army will
dissolve into the desert. The men say
they can't stand still and be killed
from the sky"
'All rightv Allenby replied. "TIl
send three planes and a cargo Of pc
troll to you in the morning Day after
tomorrow I'm going to start my drive.
Keep the railroad broken until then"
Flying back to the waiting officer,
Lawrence took the good news to Feisal
In his tent, and at five o'clock the next
morning three big machines landed and
six hungry men clambered down to the
sand.
First thing We'll do is have break
fast" they said to Lawrence, who had
come out to meet them. But as they
hogan to unpack their food bags they
saw five Turkish machines coming for
their daily slaughter of Arabs and
camels.
1--WE finish breakfast after we get
those 6ellUws." said the airmen.
Within the next half hour Emir
Feisal and his Turks saw five Turkish
airplanes come tumbling down out Of
the sky. The flying men then came
back to breakfast, but they had barely
got started again when two more Turk
ish machines appeared. Once more
they left their breakfast, and within
another half hour two more Turkish
machines were wrecked in the desert
sand. Then they once more came to
eat Although they had begun break
fast at five, the meal was not finished
until ten O'Clock. But 1T afterward
transpired that the Turkish flying
force was finished at the same time

chimes burned their planes to- avoid

Admiral Sims is making grave
charges against the navy department,
but the chances are that he is telling
the truth. All persons of general in
formation and good memory know
that up to the time the war began the
navy was not only charged but self
confessed with being in bad condition.
Of course. when the war began, eve
rybody shut up that kind of talk, and
when the necessity was upon us heroic
work begun and was carried thru to
the end. At present we have an effic-
lent and powerful navy. but we owe
that condition to the fact that work
is being done now that should have
been done five years ago. There is no
sense in railing at Sims. If what he
says is true, and it probably is, the
people should know it.
