"They played it everywhere, behind the lines, in rest camps, and I want to say that it was a great big help in keeping up the . "J saw many a soldier game In France and I believe the army may give us some real ball players. As ' tor reports that the soldiers are turned against baseball don't be lieve them''. There were some 30C0 troopers aboard the steamer I came .; home on and when they found out I , had an Interest in the Yanks they j couldn't talk anything but baseball." 1 Baseball Coming; Bark ' Captain Huston, as the Yankee magnate is known to his friends, bt lieves baseball is coming back, with the proverbial bang. He doesn't see any reason for pessimism over the prospects of the sport. He says hJs going to. hold on to his inter at iii tli'e Yankees, not only because : he loves the ' gattre, but because 4ie - is highly optimistic over its chances for the biggest boom in its history, r Huston is going to urge his col . leagues in the bfg show to take Steps toward caring for ball prayers who were disabled In the war. Tie believes the club owners should pro- Vide employment for all .such play ers, and mentioned- Hugh HiHen, a St. lrfuls player, who had his leg shattered by machine gun fire and ' won a decoration for capturing two Germans. ....

Herman hit Rivers with everything in the books, putting -Rivers down for the count, much (o the surprise of ten thousand spectators.
