When he joined the colors |Joe was the leading right-handed hitter of the American League. He was right at the heighth of starc: 1.) A long, livid sear above the left! temple explains why Joe is not in diamond togs and drawing a base-| ball salary now, He hopes to be!

Joe arrived from France a! few days ago with the 80th Division, | | He fought with that outfit through- jout the war, Harris is not so badly injured as was reported. He had no broken ribs and Was not injured internally at all when the army ambulance turned over with him near Dijon, He was very dizzy for a long tima but that feeling has passed. “My head feels all right now," he said, “and if they will only release me I am sure I will be able to play ball again within a month. The scar makes the injury look worse than it really is." Joe watched the game with inter- est, but was too polite to say what he really thought of it, The rest of us were on, however, “With that kind of hitting,” he ob- served at one stage of the game, “I don't see how they are going to beat the Giants out of the pennant,” If deserving good wishes will get Joe Harris anything he ought to | draw the biggest salary in the Amer- |ican League The game? Well, as to that: ‘The Giants won 10 to 2 Home runs were mado and Fletcher, The three-base hit with the bags full was made by Larry.

It seems that he under- stood the rules more quickly than did either of the arbiters. According tu those rules no bases can be run wher @ player is called out for interference and Fletcher was entitled to walk back to first without molestation, ‘The umpire so decided and the pas- time went merrily on, ‘There was many a fan, though, who went away from there’ mumoling incoherently. They couldn't get it at all, This young man, Frank Miller, will never be popular with the good house- wives of New York. He tqok nearly two hours to pitch a little more than six innings. We used to think old “Slow-Joe" Doyle was the original tortoise of the diamond but he was a pretty peart youngster compared to this deliberate Mr. Miller, Many a dinner was held up waiting for him to finish his exercises last night But for two clean shots at Heinle Zim's ankles the Pirades would not} scored. Terry and Stengel each sizzled a single by Heinie's feet so hot that an attempt to stop them | might have resulted in mayhem, The best Heinie could do was to save his ankles and he had to go some to do that, Still, it all came out for the| best. The Giants have the game any- | way and Heinie. has a fresh pair of dogs with which to start the battling this afternoon, Not only 1s Ed, Sweeney back In the pastime but he is there with a squawk, pep and everything. Ed. ts talking more in his ripe old age than he ever did before in his life, When Hal Chase came up in the seventh Sweeney, being an old team mate and a pal, took a second off to invite Hal to dinner. That being arranged Hal tried to pull the squeeze play and score a runner from third. Sweeney immediately charged on the umpires. making violent charges that Hal had interfered with his throw to third They finally subdued him and Hal went on with his work. They were due to finish the discussion at dinner ‘ast evening. Yos, there's no way out of it. Pi Sorgh is here again to-day, AERO MOTORS TO LOWER RECORDS AT BAY TRACK.
