Flitting around wore numerous birds; chirping, and sometimes wrangling among them selves. To me It seemed odd that birds could eoeustom themselves to war. Occasionally a German shell, ,or perhaps ' one of ours, would go screaming over the orchard.

Several Tommies took exception to this, and said that they had followed cricket all their Uvea, but had never heard of any American cricketers being sent over by a Mr. MeGraw. At this I exploded, and Stewart wont tip In the air. Standing up and turning to the bunch under the trees, pointing his finger in their direction, ho let out;' "Now listen, this Is good, Im going to send down to the ordnance corps and get a dozen, gimlets and some funnels.

Stewart let out a shout and I felt warm all over. How we lorded it over those poor Tommies. That night we were to be relieved and go back to rest billeta. We. could hardly wait for the time.

Every eye was turned la the direction of a heap of parcels.' I thought the "quarter never would start.

Americans, picture a shortstop wearing a catchers mask, and then sympathize with Stewart and me. The shartstop was a sergeant and through diplomatic reasons, I gave the mask to him. At this every InSelJer wanted to wear It- - Stewart solved the prob- lam by putting in another shortstop and giving me the mask. In England they have a game called "rounders," In Which you are supposed to hit the baserunner with the ball to put him out This Is generally a tennis ball and docs not hurt very much. Well, those Tommies had a habit of lamming the bnseball with fell their might at the unfortunate runner. Many an early practice was broken up this because the team would lose interest in baseball when they had a chance to view a fight between a giver and a rccejver. After about ten days practice we had picked two pretty fair teams and arranged for a scrub game. Stewarts side won, due to his pitching. Then, as is usual in baseball, things began to happen. A Jinx seemed to rest on onr candidates. Every time we had to go up .the line on a working' party, one or two of the players would get wounded or killed; In fact being a baseball player got to be a perfect Jonah, and the Tommies commenced getting superstitious. If one of our team happened to be working among ten or twelve other company men, he was sure to get hit, while the other fellows catne through without a scratch. Stewart and I also began to get frightened, and decided: to chuck up the u hole thlhg before we got it ourselves. Then we went further back behind the lines. During this stay we rounded out a passable team. A Canadian battalion, just sent out frem England, on their way to Wipers," went Into billets about a mile from us. - This was our chance. Stewart went over and challenged them, to a game for the following Sunday. The challenge was accepted. We hn(J a weeks time in which to strengthen some weaknesses nnd to teach the bunch a little "Inside base-ImlThen the Jinx popped up again." On the morning of the game with the Canadians, our cleverest inflolder, the first basetnan, picked up an old German hand grenade nnd brought It to the billet. This man was a great souvenir coUeetor; always hammering at dud shells, trying to remove the At t.iloroma. tint d re-cu- n it cu-'rin- g w-a- - -- 0 ona a j k- Brand-Ne- w - tnlned twelve brand-nebaseballs, or at least, eleven, nnd the remains of one. This twelfth ball was stam;Kd, "Opened by Censor, but search ns I could, I could find no stamp reading "Sewed Up bv Censor. We did ttfe sewing up, but that hall looked like n duck's egg when we had finiriied. Stewart and I roundly cussed the censor. Later, we both eussod the Inven .tutopf baseball. There was a reason. The raders of the newspaper appealed to hikd nobly responded to our appeal. Thorexy re enough gloves and halls for twdyenms, and even a chest protector and musk.

Siewart and I could have been elected to paritamer right there, if these Tommies couH have had their way. The next afternoon the Candidates, forty in nil, and the whole company, turned out en masse on the baseball field, which we had laid out during our previous stay in rest billets. - .From that day on, Stewart and I led a dogs life. Though on paper everything looked bright, and the candidates were letter perfect In the gaine. or thought they were, on the field they were dubs of the worst caliber regular boneheads. If MeGraw of the Giants had had that mob Triic'd'bn hini 'he 'vould have chucked pp woman suffrage; eo you can appreciate our fix. , Stewart was a really good pitcher; plenty of curved stuff, having played semi-pr- o ball ia the United States.

Tins scheme did not work in with the popular ver to-tl- n.o Feeing him fooling around with the Gnunn bomb, I told him to throw It nvV.y; that one could never trust those i things, and thatl did not want to take any chances of losing a first baseman; but being of a naturally curious disposition. he refused to do so. Taking the bomb out behind the billet, he proceeded 'to take liberties with Its mechanism ; result, right hand blown off and another vacancy to be filled at first bn-- . What we said about him would m t he fit for pub cation, The game wal scheduled for two oclock, and ex;v'Qyat r.

Stewart got up and placed a forking double out into left field. Stewart I started for Was a fast runner. runner in the touched third, home, front of me plowing along for home piste. lie ran like an ice wagon. I was shoutiDg to him to hurry up. I could hear Stewart pounding behind me. The Tommys cap blew off. and instead of going florae he stopped to pick It up. Stewart was shouting, "Leg it. here comes the ball," as he slid into third base. I, could hot precede the runner In, so we were trapped for a double play. Stewarts angora was bristling and mine was tugging at its chain. The Canadian rooters were tickled to death, their sarcastic remarks burning into Stewart and me. Stewart fast losing his temper. The first two Canadians struck out. The third man up got his base on a passed third strike. My error. Then our substitute first baseman pulled a stunt which turned the tables on the Canadians and we were somewhat appeased. The. Canadian runner was laying a few feet off first base. Suddenly our first baseman shouted to him, Look out, ere comes a shell ; duck low The Canadian dropped to the grounjl. Stew:art instantly sized up the situation and tossed the ball to the first baseman, who touched the baserunner and three were out We had got our own back. Stewart and I could have both kissed that rube first baseman of ours. Right then and there we put him in a class with Hal Chase. Up to the fourth Inning neither side scored. Stewart was pitching in fine form. The Canadians Just couldnt connect with his delivery. All they were doing was fanning the air. The Canadian rooters commenced to get frightened because they saw their money disappearing into the Tommies pockets. They had the greatest contempt for the rest of the team, myself included,' but realized that If Stewart did not weaken It would be a case of thtlr going back billets broke. Then old Mr. Jinx butted In again, and It happened. Ia the British army there Is an order to the effect that gas helmets must be carried at all times, evon while sleeping. To disobey this order is a serious offense, and means Immediate confinement. These gas helmets are In a canvas bag and are slung around the left shoulder by means of a canar-- pltcr . w-a- s :he corner of my eye I watched to fctm lus way the company billet. He called a man named Stein number cf our company. v,n CO more of losing a franc than Sj of having his right arm shot off v,4 went over to Stewart wl,0 uh;' "irl' to him and parsed him s,n0ellf!? What struck me as strange "AT fact that Stein, who had fifteen on the game, instead of knJ coming watch the fame, disappeared the billet, while Stewart was n.m.h2 off to dink." . The rooters were getting Irapntiento so I put a big Welshman in to told the umpire that accord irr- -pitch to ihi rules a ritcher being put in cold" wm allowed four balls over the pi.te to warm up. The umpire agreed to this. 1 whispered to the Welshman, Qtt In that box and take your time, 0nt delay, ing the game as much as possible hei tween each pitch. Now, you are allowed four balls over the which to warm up. Slam em pte into me but if you put one of them over, our , goose is cooked." The Welshman was" mystif ed, hut followed my instructions to the totter lie threw four balls which nearly broke my back to get. Then the um- pire held up his hand and called, Play ball 1" I Immediately went over to him and explained that these four halls had not gone ovej the plate. He fell for this and agreed with me. After 3 vi r vas strap. In pitching, , - Stewarts gas helmet bothered him greatly, and after the second Inning he took it off. 1 warned him to be careful, because I noticed several military police in the crowd. But Stewart would not listen. HO always was pig-heade- d. One of the Canadian footers spotted that Stewart had laid aside his and artfully communicated this fact to the rest of his teams rooters. I noticed the rooters crowd around him for three or four minutes, and then a great langh went up and they stretched out along the foul lines. Suddenly, one fellow, getting out in front of the bunch like a cheer leader, counted, One,, two, three. Then up went a mighty chorus of, Hey, Stewart, wheres your gas helmet, wheres your old gas bag, wheres your old gas bagr They kept this up andl? got hel-me- t, Stewarts goat I went out into the iltchera box and warned him to put on his gas helmet, but still he refused to do so. He' was in an awful temper. A sergeant of the military police was watching the game, and hearing the cries of.the rooters he walked out on the diamond and asked Stewart where his helmet was. By this time Stewart had completely lost his temper and answered with a sneer; Where do you think It is? I sent It home for a sergeant explained to him that It was against army orders to be without a gas helmet, and that he had better put it on. Stewart would not listen to him, and answered; "Well, If its against orders, get them rescind-ed.- " The sergeant- - immediately him under arrest and marched him put off pig-heade- he thr diamond. , ; could see the, game going west We had no other good pitcher to put In. Upon seeing Stewarts arrest, the Canadian rooters kept up their gleeful shouting. We were sure up against It. Here was the situation. It was the last half of the fourth Inning, and two vere out If, by luck, wj managed to get the third Canadian out it would be an easy matter for them to retire us in the next inning because our weakest batting order was up. Then, the Canadians would come Jo bat and slaughter would commence. I was In despair. Stewart must have realized that tha game was ho;ieless unless it could be in Our hopes were dashed I firW mies that the Canadians were basea long time before' that bunch of ball players, and that we were In for je hnaple leafs forget tins game. Now, an awful trimming, but they wouldnt get wise. "Delay the game as much as listen, sayi ag that anybody who could possible while getting a dub to pitch make a ball curve In the air th way in my place. Then watch foi happen-htg'Stewart could was enough to win for Get me? Are you wise? any team., and that all the Canadians I didnt get him, nor was I wise would strike out We Insisted no fur- but I answered in the affirmativm T ther;, fo,.owed his instructions, while out cf - He Waa In an Awful Tamper. that Tube of a pitcher had thrown about fifteen or sixteen balls, several passing me, which I chased to the billet to waste time, the umpire got impatient and Jhe rooters were yelling like mad to carry on. I still Insisted that none of the balls had gone over the plate, and the umpire was In a quandary. Just then one of our men passed in the rear of me and "Stewart says to go on with the game. Wondering at this Infor- motion. I started in. The pitching of that Welshman was awfuL He. hit the first two men up and walked the third. I was in despair, bases full and two out. Some of the Canadian rooters were Jumping up and down, throwing their hats in the air, and one fellow was whistling "The Banner. This got my whig-pere- d: Star-Spangl- ed goat completely. Near every billet hangs a gas gong. This is a triangular piece of steel or an empty shell case. Beside this gong hangs an iron striker. Upon the sounding of the alarm, by striking on the gong with the striker, every man is supposed to put oh his gas helmet and repair Immediately to his proper station. These gongs are to warn soldiers that German poison gas is coming over. While I was signaling to my rube pitcher and beseeching him to put one over, the clanging of the gas gong rang out I dropped mf glove, got off my chest protector, and madly rushed for my helmet and soon had It on, the rooters and players doing the same. Then I got wise. I remembered Stewarts Instructions; "Watch out for gas. IH make em hunt for their gas helmets. The nerve and daring of his scheme took my breath away. The Canadians had a mile to go to get to their stations, and believe me, it Is no fun double-timin- g for a mile while a gas helmet is choking you with its chemical fumes. Well, those Canadians beat It, and so did we, but the game was saved and all bets were off. I nearly smothered with laughter In my gas helmet. To the rest, not being "in the know, it was a genuine alarm. Shortly after the stampede it was discovered that the' alarm was false, a rigid Investigation tmmediatety"took place. But the Canadians had left and our money wfts safe. It certainly would have gone hard with the culprit bad he been caught. As It was, our battalion got two weeks as extra fatigue on working and digging parties. Afterward, I was let into the secret. Stewart had given Stein ten francs to sound the gas alarm, which, with his fifteen francs bet on the game. Stria did not have It la his heart to refuse. Many a time, Stewart, Stein and myself had a quiet little laugh when we pictured the Canadians stampedingTo? their billets. Then orders were1 received to take k over a new sector of the line, and Ufa TorgoHcnrTKe' vdttTar front of us was to be of the grimmest nature. "Ndt long'after that, in my first gomg "over the top," Stewart was killed era Stein was wounded. I was also slightbase-bati- ly wounded. - Thus mded the career of the Fusilier Giants on the western front. U - T- j The Difference. The fool shows his folly and knows It not, but the wise guy knows to3 folly and shows it not.-1 .V . |
