It la a game demanding skill, . coordination and sportsmanship. In short. It la an Ideal game for boys young and old. Wo do not have baseliull as a high school sport hero in Kosebtirg. In fact, tonnls and track form the only ma jor athletic activities available un der organised and supervised in struction In tho spring months. Tonnls Is an excellent sport but nnt onough persons can pluy it, simply because wo do nut bare enough tennis courta. One objection ruined regarding buscball In the high school Is that It Is a fairly expensive uport. (equipment Is required, inclining balls, bats, uniforms and bases. The lime of a coach Is needed dur ing tho baseball season. Besides, It Is argued, the high school base ball season Is too short thnt base ball la u aummer sport and the school term ends too early in the year. Too often rainy weuthur wuuld permit only a few weeks of practice before school la over. These would seem to be formid able arguments except for one thing: The ltoseburg American Legion post annually sponsors a Legion Junior buHobiill team. The Jtosebuig team for yoars has been a Klrong contender for the stale 111 In. American Legion junior huso ball Is a nationwide enterprise which, down through the years, has been amazingly successful In leaching boys to play the game. The legion's baaeball commlt teo in ltoseburg Iiuh some equip ment which, II Is reported, they will gladly loan tho high school, merely asking that such equipment bo kept Intact anil replncumenla made as needed. Though the point has not been advanced. It seems reasonable that the Legion also could uld In the couching. Tho argument unit the high school season Is loo short for baseball to be u successful high school sport Is answered by tho fact that the same boys may con tinue right on through tho Junior baseball season and into really serious man making compellilon. Some of the high schools of tho county, notably Myrtle Creek, al ready have demonstrated thnt base ball can lie made a major athletic activity during the spring mouths with great success. It Is obvious that high school training would vastly impruve tho chuncos of the Junior team In statu competition. The groups the lo cal team must fnco have, for lite most pari, the advantage of Kuch spring training. Them ba.i been cimslilcijiM,. reeling that spuria funs In HosnJ burg have not been giving high school athletics all the support lo which the school Is entitled, lie thai as It may, here Is a spurt that 1 a subHtuntlnl group of men. the member of the American Legion, want to aid and supporl---in tact. they are asking the school system to provide It.

S. army in Tex as is making a stand In front of San Antonio. GENERAL MOLE. U. S.. division commander in Texas. The U. S. Is only partially mobil ized and the country is panic- stricken. CHAPTER XVI When the hot Texas sun slipped down to the horizon through tho haze In tho west, a furious roar of motors swept the second division. The flight of enemy attack planes, flying an altitude of less than five hundred feet, struck with the sharp bite of forked lightning. There were six planes in the flight, echeloned In. sections of Ihreft, ami they attacked with the parnlyzing shock of complete sur prise. Riflemen and machine-gun-nera floundered into action, but only in time to Bend scattering fusillades after planes that flash ed In the distunce. Over the 9th infantry's sector the attack planes appeared close enough lo be hit with a hand grenade. Men gaped after the ap parition, or ducked Into their holes in the ground ugainst the menace of fragmentation bombs. Hut there came no explosion. Tim enemy had not opened u; with their machine guns. "Gas!' The warning oulcry ri.se in vol ume from two thousand throats. Terror Irize on men's faces. Of fleers barked orders, nouconis rag ed at their men. . Stay put! Discipline slowly but surely prevailed over the hoi im pulse of self-preservation. Men dove into their trenches to bury their faces in the earth, or ripped off their cotton shirts, and wound them, doused with water, about their faces. Gas and not a gas mask in the entire regiment only ninety in the whole division and those for demonstration purposes in training teals. What type of gas had the Van Hassek barbarians put down? Ob viously not a mustard or persist ent gas. The Van Hassek infantry would not want tho sector- - con taminated in the morning when they launched their Httuck lo blast the Americans out of position. A uoneom caught the answer as his eyes burned Into tears. - "Tear gas!" he shouted. The sector commander cursed again and trotted off to the left, imparting a show of deliberation to liis gull. -Gas officers were limit ing their calculations of what ap peared a now gas. Scores of men, afflicted with a laehrymatiim and burns thai might extend over sev eral days, would huve to be evacu ated to the hospital -at San An tonio for I reatmont. Overhead the American aviation was redoubling Its efforts. The 33d pursuit squadron was , patrolling to tho front; That audacious at tack flight of Van llassek's had used Its heels to get away Intact. The American pilots were sharply alert ugainst a second such sur prise. Reinforcements flew up from Kelly field, two flights from the Tilth pursuit squadron. Krom Louisiana's Ilarksdale field had come the flower of the light ing craft of the army's third wing. The Mh. Pith and Itmh attack squadrons of that wing had been harassing Van Hassck's columns since early morning and bad yield ed a crimson - toll of 17 planes, lo enemy anti-aircraft. The wing's fighting pilots of the 55th and 7ft th pursuit squadrons had retaliated by shooting down twenty-four Van Hassek planes, planes that had ranged incautiously into battle with the Americans. From Virginia's lancley field titer had arrived, late in the aft ernoon, the second wing's 2d bom bardment group comprising the 2oih. 4!'th and !fith squadrons, to gether with the Sth pursuit group's ;trth pursuit squadron and flight A of the Kith observation squa dron. Krom California's first wing fields there were en route an en tire group of attack planes, two pursuit and two additional ut tack squadrons. At. the division command post. General Mole ami his staff grimly watched the fading light of day. There was a lightening of tension throughout the sectors as dusk slowly engulfed them and deepened Into night. Long-range artillery pounded away laconically, tearing great craters in the second's artil lery area and hitting near the di vision's main line of resistance, and bm k in the biouacs of the reserves. This told Mole that enemy observation planes had pho tographed his positions in detail and con tinned the hint of w hat must be expected during the night. Plight A of the Ifith observation squadron picked tip the enemy po sitiotis. The Van Hassek main col umn was unwinding itself tor its night's bivouac and the maneuver forward to its jump-off lor at tack ut daybreak. The I!ronsille ami Kaj-U Pass columns were far back and evidently not intended for part in (he Initial attack. llehind the dHHy of those two flank columns of Van Hassck's in vaders lay a new pplc in red. There were only imtuer details fur etal Mole, brought in by his at tached observation planes, but they were details lo slir the blttod. Fifth and Uth cavalry regi ments ha) been overtaken by Van Hassek attack planes and mechan ised cavalry. Cnhorsed. the Tail ed States cavalrymen look position astride tne romis lo fight on loot Since llif mevbuHiied enemy Had AMERICA ! S. Lack of Defense By ARED WHITE stripped them of their "- oj withdrawing and they had no taste for surrender, they fought wllh i a fierce desperate, taking their losses and grimly holding on. Van Hassek commanders had been forced to deploy more and more troops in their efforts to shoot the cavalrymen out of -position. Not until after three o clock in the afternoon were they able to mop up the few remaining squads and take a mere handtul or unwounded prisoners who had run out of ammunition.

With tho preponderance ot fnrce held by his main Lareuo column he had no need to wait. For that matter It hardly made sense within tho Van Hassek line of military reasoning, that the second division would commit me brash audacity of a serious fight In front of San Antonio.
