HUN SHELL . INTERRUPTS GAME
Field in France Messed up But Soldiers
Laugh at Wild Ones
llyA. It. Gurney
PARIS, Aug. 25.-(By mall): The
diamond was no diamond at all. It was
only a Lorraine pasture with the
bumps cut off and the holes filled in
to give a smooth surface. Two nines
in khaki were battling for the cham
pionship ot the Vosges, or something
like that.
From the woods behind the first
base, big guns were speaking at in
tervals. The shells went whistling ov
er the field to carry their messages
of death to the enemy. From the other
side of the distant hills came the
booming of artillery in reply.
.Sounds like a poor day for a frame,
doesnt it! But on that morning the
Y. M. C. A." athletic director of the
district had ridden eight kilometers
on his bicycle to bring bats, balls, a
catcher's glove, a mask and a few
fielders' mitts, and the young men In
khaki were going to break them in
whether or no the whole German army
was Just around the corner.
Came the sixth innlug. The Wood-ledy-does
had gone out in one, two,
three order and the Hickey-Hacks
were walking In from the field. The
umpire, standing behind the plate as
all fearless umpires should, (besides
it's nearer to the dugout If the crowd
gets boletero-Jsl was calling for a lit
tle pepper-
'Shake a leg, you birds," he was
saying, "or the war'U be finished be
fore the game is."
The next Instant be was flat on his
stomach. So was everybody else round
about, for risht behind second base
there plumped a shell which bore the
label of "Made In Germany." This
explosion tore a hole In the ground
and otherwise messed up the field.
"Anybody hurt?" yelled the umpire,
as ho got up cautiously after a min
ute or two. "Nope? All right, then,
shake a leg."
Quickly, after they had salvaged
every piece of shell in sight us souven
irs, the players filled the hole, the
umpire dusted off the plate, put on
hia mask and cried:
"Play ball."
Not until he acquires perfect con
trol can the German artilleryman stop
baseball at the front His wild ones
only Interrupt the game.

nounced that bunkers and other per

Is necessary to the nation.
Men holding Important positions In

tlons, those engaged in public health

commerce and those engaged In sim
ilar occupations. Exemption ot fire
man and policemen will bo more lib
eral under tho new draft than heretofore.
General Crowder Issued regulations
today providing that tlio firemen or
policemen need only file a statement
of his chief and that he is trained,
how long he has served, what he Is
paid, accompanied by a statement of

License to marry was Issued today to
Sexton Smith, 63, of Merlina. Ore..
and Mrs. Bertha Praia, 43, of Glad
stone, Ore.
It looks very much as It George De
Itok would have to stand treat to his
wife, and all on account of the chick
ens. It seems that there is a little
difference between them as to the
valJe ot poultry and hogs. Now
George keeps some of the best Duroc
Jersey hogs In Clackamas county, and
he has a pen of four that he will prob
ably take a prize on at the State fair.
Also Mrs. De Dok Is proud of her
vhit I.etrhorns because they shell
out prizes every day in the rorm of
eggs. Now if Mrs. De Hok can make
$1200 out of her poultry before beorge
makes that much from his hogs, he
has got to stand treat. At present the
poultry Is ahead. The account stands
like this:
No. hens on hand Jan. 1, 1918 430
Sold and used on table Jan. to

a large flock to pick from. The owner
