shell with fuse extending from the
nose of the shell back through the

contained is filled with bullets which
are thrown in all directions when the
explosion occurs They are only use
full and effective where men are ex.
posed. Yes. they were manufactured
in America very extensively during
the war If they were made to con-
tain a poison gas, it has never come
to my knowledge.

Roy over TO the Kansas City club of

he continued to play short and had a
fine season.
However, Manager Wordsworth had
about decided that he pulled bone
play when he let ELAN get away from
him. so he Immediately opened negotia-
tons with Kansas City for the short

Seeing his ability, Manager Moles-
worth made ELAN captain Of the Bar
ons in 1912. Up until that time Moles-
worth had been playing ball and acting
as captain IN addition to his duties as
manager. He had no man on his club
who looked better or more capable than
ELAN, so he placed Roy in charge of
the club in the role of field general. The
success of the Barons in the past few
years RS; was attributed to the team work
of ELAN and Wordsworth. Ellam's loss
to Birmingham was q big one.
ELAN took a couple of ball clubs ia
Santiago, Cuba, in 1919, which was the
first team under organized ball to play
teams from the United States battle
