Raglesz, carpenter. 210 W. 00th fit., Chicago, HL, says: '‘My back gave out completely and I had to quit work.

German Bouncing Bomb.

The elastic properties of rubber are ;being used by the Germans In their latest missile, the bouncing bomb. This curious device has a base of rubber so weighted that the bomb when thrown through the air strikes upon it.' The ■lmpact causes It to leap into the air and also releases the time fuse. This Tuse is so arranged that the bomb bursts when at the highest point—some six feet from the ground. Its destructive power is then much greater than if it exploded while on the ground.—Milestones.’

At this time of the yVar most people suffer from a condition pften called Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn out, before the day is half thru. They may have frequent headaches and sometimes “pimply” or pale skin and white lips.

TAPS WIRELESS KEY FOR HIS UNCLE SAM

Baseball has lost another player by reason of the war in the person of Morris Rath, who joined the United States Navy recently. Rath is now learning the of wireless in the naval wireless school in Philadelphia. He was given a tryout by several major league teams, and last year made such a good showing with

STARS UNHERALDED

Baseball history has proved that the players who develop Into the major league stars enter the big show unheralded and unsung. Wagner, Mathewson, Speaker, Cobb, Collins, Alexander, Johnson and many others made their entrance under modest and, In many instances, unknown circumstances. Little or nothing was known of Alexander as -a minor leaguer. So obscure was he that was obtained in the draft. He was obliged to prove fils worth as a “rooky,” and at one time there was some discussion as to whether he would be among those retained during his first year with the Phillies.

GAIN RESPECT FOR CRICKET

British Game, Thought to Be Mild and Harmless, Praised by Boys In Service Abroad. Occasionally letters from boys in the service abroad show that while they are teaching France and England the beauties of baseball, they are gaining new respect for the British game of cricket, which they ITad previously thought about as mild and harmless as croquet. One soldier, writing of a cricket game he saw, declares that the British fielders, “while weak on grounders, are pippins on fly balls. They’ll go down the field for a long fly, judge it just right, and grab it without gloves. Some of the catches they make would do honor to Roush or Speaker.”

DECORATION GIVEN TO CAPTAIN MILLER

Johnny (Dots) Miller, former captain of the St. Louis Cardinals, who is now attached to the 83d company of marines at Paris Island, S. C., has received his first military decoration—the silver crossed guns of an expert rifleman. When he established, the monthly shooting record at the Paris Island rifle range on February 23d, Johnny proved that he was as capable of putting steel covered rifle balls right in the center of a bull’s eye as he was in throwing the-“pill" to bases. Miller ..registered a score of 289 points out of a possible 300; shooting on 200, 400, 500 and 1,000 yard ranges. “A can’t help but shoot straight, if he pays strict attention to his coach's instruction,” says Miller.

LITTLE PICK-UPS OF SPORT

The fans of Philadelphia are largely fistic, electric and palm leaf. * * ♦ Among other innovations the Western league may this year try the “twilight” games idea. Outfielder Joe Kelly of the Boston Braves has been put In the first class for the next draft call. • * » Chet Thomas, the catcher traded by the Red Sox to Connie Mack, declares he is through with baseball. • ♦ * Branch Rickey announces he has a new marveL The latter’s name is Rube Kotzelnick. That’s enough! • * ' • Connie Mack has taken on among others a young pitcher named Bob Geary, who hails from Cincinnati. - • * * Jack Hendricks may think managing the Cards is a big job. Bus suppose he had to manage the bolsheviki. « * * Birmingham of the Southern league, with Al Ellis lost to the army, has signed Bill Waldron to play the outfield. U• • • Thq" New' York legislature has shelved the bill introduced for modification of the blue laws so as to term it baseball on Sunday. • ♦ ♦ Eddie Mulligan, former Cub infielder, who is now at Camp Funston with a draft quota, may be appointed assistant athletic director. * • * A Pittsburgh sport writer has analyzed the figures and concluded that the Pirates will be a heavier hitting team this year than last. • « • The National league has put the kibosh on impolite coaching. But how can you teach a bone-headed baserunner anything by making love to him? * • * Pitcher Jim Bluejacket, who has “belonged” to several clubs in the past few years, is to get a trial with the Columbus American association club this season.

The Muskegon club, which operated a team for two years in the Central league but found the going too hard, has disposed of all its assets in the way of players. _ „ ♦ Mike Gonzales, Cardinal catcher and a Cuban, will bring another islandei with him to St. Louis. The latter is Oscar Tuero, a pitcher. Oscar has already signed a contract. « * * Wheezer Dell, the big. Brooklyn hurler, is in Uncle Sam’s service learning how to make a tank jump shell hbles. He expects to become a pilot of one of the-land 'monsters. ♦ ♦ • Eddie Cole, formerly with St. Paul in the American association and Bloomington in the Three-I league, has quit baseball to help Uncle Sam and Is now in an army camp in the South. * John McGraw may Import a Cuban infielder. The youngster is named Herriet and made a good impression on the Giant leader while the latter was on the islands. Cuban fans call bim a second Maranville. He is twenty year* old.

WELKER COCHRAN IS PICKED BY CRITICS

Youngster Being Selected to De- - throne Hoppe of Crowru lowa Youth Has Been Improving Hie Billiards by Leaps And Bounds -Since He First Broke Into Limelight Yesye Ago. Time was when the man who mentioned any billiard player as a possible successor to Willie Hoppe as balk-line champion was ridiculed. The idea was preposterous, the talent declared. Hoppe was so pre-eminent in his line that there was not the remotest chance of anyone displacing him.

Hoppe «is still pre-eminent, his wizardry with the cue is as faultless as ever, but nevertheless his matchless play is being approached by a youngster who is planning a campaign to culminate in a challenge for Hoppe’s many titles. Welker Cochran, the lowa youth,jias been improving his billiards by leaps and bounds since he first broke into the limelight a few years ago. On a tour with Hoppe two or three _years ■ago Cochran looked like a novice -beside the master billiardist, but he worked hard, continually studying Hoppe’s game and improving his own. This year he has shown such phenomenal billiards that critics believe he would be able to give the champion trouble at his favorite balk-line games.

Cochran is also a talented threecushion player. He has never entered competition for the championship perhaps for the same reason that Hoppe has refused to compete for these honors. . The National Three-Cushion Billiard association rules make It imperative for a champion to defend his title every two or three months if there is a challenge and Hoppe has never considered the hopor worth the trouble. In the last two" years there have been so many three-cushion champions that scarcely remembers who they were. Alfredo De Oro has held the ~tltle three times in that length of time. This rule probably also keeps Cochran from com? petlng.

WILLARD IN EXCELLENT SHAPE TO MEET FULTON

. This, the very latest photograph taken of Jess Willard, disproves the tales that have persistently appeared about the great weight Which Jess is supposed to be accumulating. As this photo shows him, he is in splendid condition, and would not need a terrific amount of work to condition himself for a bout with Fred Fulton or anyone else. * * Since Fulton knocked out Frank Moran his claim to a match with Willard has naturally become More insistent. The only other man on The fistic horizon is Jack Dempsey, and Fulton seems to have first claim.

BUSINESS WAS RUSHING

Harry Frazee, Jr., fifteen years old, is an enterprising schoolboy. Last spring he wrote to his father, president of the Red Sox, for half a dozen new balls. Frazee, Sr., paid $1.25 each for them and shipped them immediately. Several weeks later he re?, celved another urgent request for a second half dozen, which also were sent with a letter asking what had been done with the first batch. Back came a reply which read: “I sold the first half dozen at a-quarter apiece. Business is rushing!”

Teaching Children Natural History.

The approved method of teaching very young children is to disguise th® instruction under the cloak of amusement. An interesting development in the carrying out of this idea is found in the sand pictures of- Walter A. Ward, which are described in the Popular Science Monthly. Cardboards covered with colored pictures of ant--mate given to the children together with bottles containing the variously colored sand. The children paint the body of the animals with glue, and then carefully cover the colored portions of the animal bodies with the* appropriate colors of sand.
