CHANGING THEIR NATION
Atty

The long heralded arrival OF the
Nays phze of war ended on
august 9th, when the three German
destroyers, the dreadnaught 'OSl-
FRIESLAND" and the cruiser
"FRANKFURT" arrived off Sandy
Hook.
First came the mighty dread,
naught, under her own steam ana
towing the FRANKFURT, followed
by the three destroyers also under
tow of three mine sweepers. Inc
Stars and Stripes were flying proud
ly at the gait, as from any American
ship, and the only German earmarks
observable, was the distinct type OF
construction used by the German
Navy.
These ships were brought over
from the other side by American
crews, who were sent over to place
them in commission several months
ago. The ordeal which these men
passed through was a hard one. The
Germana had left nothing undone
which would render them useful to
the Allies, and the magnitude OF the
undertaking can be more easily
grasped when you know that these
American crews placed the dread.

Rich Hill Wins the First One.

Sunday afternoon the two best
teams that ever represented Rich Hill
and Butler met on the Rich Hill dia-
mond for the first game of a series
OF three and when the last man was
hout in the ninth inning the score
stood Rich Hill four and Butler
three. Both teams had strengthened
tor the contest, many Of the best
semi-professional and professional
players of Western Missouri being IN
the line-ups. Hale pitched good,
steady game for Rich Hill and re-
ceived excellent support from his
teammates. Nelson pitched just as
good a game for Butler but his sup
port wobbled at critical times. Lus-
comb caught wonderful game, his
work even drawing words of COM
mendation from the Rich Hill fans.
and anyone who has ever played or
attended. game in that town knows
that is going some. Wheat, who by
the way. is a brother of the hard
hitting fielder of the BROOKLYN club.
of the National League, played first.
and two of his errors on hard
chances aided Rich Hill materially.
tie partially made it up by some phe-
nominally good catches especially
one twisting foul that he lad to 20
into the overflow crowd after. Nc
Carly, at second played good
game and Osborne at short was as
good as anybody's shortstop. fhe
Campbell brothers in left field and
third did not play their usual high
class game. Walter Williams, in
center field, played star game and
had an, unusual number of put outs
to bis credit. Rexroad played right.
The boys simply had bad day.
which comes at times to the best bali
team in the business, but thew say
that they have gotten all OF the mis-
plays out OF their systems and will
proceed to win the next two games
and show the Rich Hill boys IN.
They will play the secon, game III
Butler next Sunday afternoon and
the third game will be in the town
furnishing the largest attendance lat
the first two games, so if you like
good, hard, fast baseball, come our
next Sunday and see the best two
teams in this part of the country
tight for the county championships
and help swell the crowd SO that
Butler will get the third game of the
series.

Mrs. Spears had been ill for some

eaten supper with the family for the
first time. After supper Il, che was

short time.
She was a native of Bates couuty

life time spent i'll this cou.l,y she has
made countless iriends who mourn

credit to any great power plant, be-
ing deliberately fitted out. Her crew
must not have been over-intelligent or
quick to grasp the details of their
surroundings, as every few feet signs
and directs appear painted on the
bulkheads in German.
When all this is grasped. and it is
realized that few of these Americans
could read German, the ingenuity and
of the American blue
jacket comes to the front, for these
men mastered the intricacies Of this
German puzzle in thirty days and

ship filters and plumbers to follow
her electric leads and steam and

The electricians had big job, and
on ship where forty electricians are
used under regular steaming condi'

all blueprints of the ship.
The "OSfFRIESLAND" coaled
at each stop, and the men who
brought her over say that she is only
a short distance steamer, which in
dictates that she was never meant tor
heavy action outside of the North
Sea.

that of American ships. Her COM
