CRAWLS TO COMRADE

TO OBTAIN MEMENTO

LONDON, June 1. A description ofthe battle north of Ypi'es in which theCanadians fought for four days wasgiven today by Philip Sampson cf Chi-

cago, who enlisted in the 14th batal-lion- .

Sampson who was wounded is

convalescing at the Duchess of Con-naus-

hospital which is at Cliveden,the home of Waldorf Astro.

"For four days and nights the battleraged and it was one of the hottestdays of the war. Sunday, the last dayof the fight was worst of all. Duringthe four days we had nothing to eat,our only nourishment being sugar andtea. The Germans opened the attackon the line with bombs. I was one ofa detachment that captured the lostCanadian guns and we immediatelyturned them on the Germans. Our po-sition was harder because we receivedno aid from our fellows. All our menwere hugging the bottom of ourtrenches for it was the only thing wecould do. They were spraying ourlines with bursting shrapnel and thena fragment caught me .in the back. Af-

ter a time, though weak from the lossof blood I went to my "pal" who hadbeen killed. I crawled through the linesand unstrapped his watch from his

Disappointed in love. SheldonBottsford Cooper is watching theworld through tearful eyes. SheldonBottsford is a freshman at Earlhamcollege and therein lies the story.

Bottsford lives in Greenfield andfollowing the lead of his sister, cameto Earlham. But he tore himselffrom Greenfield with misgivings.

Sunday night Sheldon Bottsfordwas walking down Main street, withvisions of a beautiful fairy in Green-field sitting on the front porch of herhome, also alone. Then the vision be-came a reality under a different set-ting. The fairy queen passed SheldonBottsford in a Ford automobile bear-ing a Michigan license.

Cooper broke through the crowdand ran until exhausted and perspir-ing, but failed to gain ground. Hethen jumped on the running board of

a machine driven by Fred Bayer andurged pursuit, declaring money no ob-

ject if his loved were trapped.After driving to Centerville and

then returning within a short dis-tance of the college, the Ford wasfound. It was then dak and thedriver asked questions while SheldonBottsford identified his sweetheart.When he saw her in the rear seatwith another young man, he tore theside curtains from the machine. In-

describable scenes ensued.After leaving the machine and

starting back to the college. SheldonBottsford thought he would end it allin suicide, but the hope of youthseized him and he again demandedpursuit. This was refused and ahighly agitated young man wasdropped at the college entrance whilehis betrothed proceeded to Greenfield.

Reams have been written about Na-

poleon Lajoie about his baseball lifewith its entwined brilliance and pa-thos but it has remained for BillyMurphy, of the St. Louis Star, to tollit in a way that carries the storyhome for lasting memory.

Here is Murphy's story, in part:"Lajoie's continuance and consis-

tency as a star, have been remarkable.From his entrance into the big lea-gues, he has dominated the diamond,enriched it and aided materially in itsadvancement.

"His work from his inaugural gamedown to our day, is so astounding thathe electrifies every one who sees him.He is a ball player apart and distin-guished from all the rest. He scorchesand burns the diamond as if he indeed,is a concentrate solar ray.

"Lajoie's serene, passive and calmmethod of fielding his position has ledmany to believe the man is indifferentand is without a soul. But his style ischaracteristic of his baseball genius.

"Brilliant, yet pathetic, has been hiscareer. Cankered by the worm in thebud, has been his ambition and aspira-tion for this immortal of baseball hasnever played on a championship club,nor figured in a world's series.

"Bill Dinneen in 1908, on the lastday of the season beat Cleveland,when Lajoie wa conceded the pen-nant. Hinchmand loafed on a single.He was thrown out with the winningrun crossing the plate. Lajoie at thePlanters Hotel that night, was a broken-

-hearted and bitter man. His teamwas preparing to depart for home, in-

stead of leaving for Chicago, to parti-cipate in the world's series. That isone hurt that time will never heal.Wounded, he still bears the arrow inthe wound.

"Today finds Lajoie a Titan who has

seen baseball in its hey-da- y and at itslowest ebb. An iron soul in an ironframe, he looks around and sees thegame, but a ruin; and the horizon is iblank. Baseball to him is a gloriouspast, a degraded present."

The woods were full of aspirantsto the light-weig- title when FreddieWelsh first landed on these shoreswearing the crown, but it's differentnow. Not that Freddie has put themout of the way. Oh. goodness, no!Freddie hasn't put anybody or any-thing away, except about fifty thou-sand American dollars.

It's almost uncanny the way thosefellows have slipped from view. LeachCross made large noises some monthsago; so did Charley White, WillieBeecher. Young Shugrue, Tommy Mur-

phy, Willre Ritchie, Ad Wolgast and aflock of lesser luminaries. But some-how or other the gang isn't as promi-nent, nor as dangerous looking, as itwas.

Cross has fought some poor fightsin the last six months. Wolgast hashad no such trouble with his "bristlebones that he's been looked upon asa has-bee- n; Murphy, after fifteenyears of battling, is ready to quit:Young Shugrue has been in the dry-doc- k

because of some sort of ailmentthat necessitated an operation.

Charley White doesn't shine asbrightly as he did. Something seemsto be wrong with the Chicagoan. Wil-lie Beecher's star began to descendafter he got his chance at Welsh andfloundered through ten rounds.

Willie Ritchie is still in our midst,but William doesn't seem filled with,battle luat. Willie has made quite ahit as a stage dancer, and probablyWillie thinks it's a better moneymakerthan battling in the ring.

This is due largely to the many other interests thepublic has incident to the war in Europe. Some have hinted that shouldthings grow worse the bail parks would be obliged to close.
