venture to predict that there will be no twenty-one player rule next year. A number of other National league teams have felt the pinch of the same regulation and these who figured that it might cause the quality of baseball played by Tener’s organization to deteriorate were not mich more wrong than those who thought Ger- many had a great army.

There is fire in the eyes of John McGraw and anger in the heart of| Harry Hempstead and John Foster | over the twenty-one player rule that was forced upon the National league this season with malice aforethought, or otherwise, but mainly through the IN WAR ZONE (Continued from first page).

If you're wondering why the theaters it the cause of a general celebration,!are run in London during the war and they like it still less since the| recent performance of pitcher Chal- mers of Philadelphia. | For two years the same Chalmers vainly attempted to break into the| game as a regular Giant. Last fall he went out during practice sessions and showed Scout Kinsella a lot of things that made the ivory-comber real joyous, but when Kinsella would have impressed his own valua- | tion of Chalmers on his boss, he’ succeeded as rapidly as a German | getting getting the English viewpoint on the cause of the Biggest Thing in| all the World. Hence, when the twenty-one player rule forced McGraw to look around for someone to let go, the “Little Na- poleon” fixed his orb on Chalmers, whom he had taken south this spring | times, all you have to do is to come out here where the audience is made up nightly of more than 3,000 men who have been in the trenches face to face with death and are going back there again, and you'll see the cheering value of theatrical amuse- ments. The object of this theater is to make the soldier behind the trench line forget all about the war. It has exactly the same object as the re- markable new convalescent hospi- tals in the war zone, which are noth- ing more or less than ‘“rest cures” for tired and nerve-strained men and not hospitals for wounded or sick men. “The Follies” is a real theater in a fair-sized town. It’s a soldiers’ show. The six men who make up after every one else refused to givethe troupe are soldiers, excused from the youngster a chance. The New York B. B. club, Inc., paid all the appreciation Chalmers worked hard and got in excellent shape. Chalmers regretted leaving the United States for Philadelphia but he went with gratitude over the fact that he still remained a big leaguer. His next appearance was in New York in a Philly uniform. The re- sult of his spring training showed in fighting and shooting just because ‘tl\oy could sing and dance and make training expenses and to show this|other soldiers forget themselves. There are two performances a night; the place is always packed and the soldiers troop out happy and laugh- ing. They don’t go in companies, but in crowds or singly as they please, just as they go to a show in London. The night I saw “The Fol- lies,” there were Lendon officers around men who enjoyed the show as the box score which recorded that tive | heartily, apparently, as if it had been Giants had made two hits and that seven of them fanned.

There are many names of places in England that puzzle the stranger. Happisburgh, in Norfolk, for instance, is pronounced “Hazeboro,” Abergaven- ny simply drops a syllable and becomes “‘Abergenny,” and 1t is alleged that St. Neots sounds more like *“Snoots” than anything else. Cirencester seems to vary from “Sister” to “Sizeter.” In Suf- folk Waldringfield is ““Wunnerful” and Chelmondiston “Chimston,” while in the adjoining county of Norfolk Hun stanton is “Hunston,” and in the west country Badgeworthy is “Badgery” and Cornwood “Kernood.” Hunting- donshire claims the purest English, but they call Papworth “Parpor.” And not far from there a motorist turned upon a rough road and asked the in- telligent laborers where it would take bim. “That road,” said the honest countryman, wiping his brow, “will take you to ’Ell, sir,” The courageous motorist went on and found Ellsworth, which i pronounced “Elser.”—Man- chester Guardian.
