OF CONFIDENCE
The following is the second of a series j
of interesting letters just receive from j
Irving Chayken. the former Times sport
writer, with I.ieut. Charlie, Taffs heavy
artillery abroad:
''Still in France, er.route to
-Germany. April 17. 191?.
"My Dear Friend Tarry:
"You letter has reached me safely and
I will not delay replaying to it. hoping
at the same time to be as candid as
yourself. I should be very unworthy of
the hind feelings you express did I not
iry to acknow ledge that I am very much
obliged for the great compliment you
have best-yed on m and on the Ameri
can fighting force in general.
"I have-Jonc known your Xrr.erlcan
spirit, the editorials In The Timks whi-h
I miss very much speak for themselves.
At this time when words of clear mean
ing sound more than a lone representa
tion on the battlefield of freedom.
"Today is another perfect spring day.
A day on which to enjoy bfe even under
the tyrant rage of the Huns, who are
sMi! trying to penetrate line after line
without suocess. The enjoyment
amongst the boys still goos Pn while cn
the enemy's side a', i5 not well and de
sertions are very many, sometimes we
can see a 'Boche' fill in his tracks as
h trails for the pa-h of freedom against
autocracy's band of wilful butchers of
women ar.1 children.
"From early morning and all through
the day fighting continues on & large
scale. The guns are pounding away as
they never did before, aeroplanes have
been busy all through the big struggle
and today I saw a Hun plane come down
amongst the laughter of hundreds of
American boys who believe that the air
fcird is yet a thing to be, feared in the
coming battles. All told there seems to
be no cessation, th allied force3 are
holding up with their hacks against the
wall, and to rush over us will be a hard
tk.
'Tha German aim. I learn from good
sources, seems to be to push forward in
hree main drives. I cannot name the
prices, but nm sure that it has e.lready
ten given to the press. From German
maps captured by our troops and from
prisoners' admissions I am told a vic
tory against the three drives was expect
ed, but thanks to the magnificent fight
ing qualities of th allied troops the
Germans ara being repulsed with heavy
losses.
"It is r great scene and you would
certainly see a great deal if you were
ber at present, but some have, to stay
back and besides the government has not
called on men over S3 so be satisfied.
"'r.e thir.g I am certain, if all the
draftees are over here by July we shall
surprise th world by cur quirk success
We need more men and the faster they
come over the quicker tht conflict w'.i! be
over.
'Have not received any Times copies
and the beys ara laying the blame on mo
ir.ead of the postoffire. Your ieter
took six weeks In reaching me, but did
no mind it because I also received four
teen other letters, the first rn! mail I've
had since leaving Camp Merritt. btob
Featty is still fc'.lng greet, although
gassed as reported it did not quite prove
as bad as I thought It w us.
"Po not mix me up with trench mor
tar batteries as I am no in the suicide
club yet. No Hammond deaths ard T
tru!t there won't be. All the boys feel
ing well. Have tasted gass in the worst
sort, but came out in Fplendid style. I
remain,
"Sincerely,
"IRVIKG C."

(Un!td Presa Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK. June 5 Famous bone
head plays have occupied the hilarious
moment of baseball from the time the
game -was !n Ha Infancy. Their re
counting is a source of much Joy to the
old-time fan and to the. old-time ball
player.
Probably there nevei wa world's
series with such a predominance of
idiotic maneuvers as the last one, when
the White Fox and the Gianta seemed
to vie with each other In making them,
but there have been freak playa with
out number in other games.
For Instance. Nemo Liebold te.Ha of a
play in which Kay Chapmen and he fig
ured, while both were members of the
Cleveland club.
Chapman was on third base, with
Liebold on second. Nemo wa trapped
too far off second and Chapman started
for home, where be promptly was head
ed and started back fr third.
In t he ensuing mix ip. Liebold re
lates, the playera were so maneuvered
that when the action stopped Liebold
was roosting on first base and Chap
man on second, a peg from where earh
had started. That, of course. coMld not
happen now, with the. rules as they
are.
Once upon a time, with the bases
leaded In a minor league game, the man
on third ba.se started for home on a
passed ball. He was trapped ar.d
caught at third base. In the meantime
the man on first bad started for second,
and when an effort was made to get
him. the man on second startefl fot
third. He was caught. The mia cn
first then made another effort to reach
second, with the result that he supplied
the final putout of a triple play at sec
ond base. The catcher made the final
poutout at second base, with the center
fielder taking Vine of the other "putouts
and getting the final assist.
