LIKE BASEBALL NEWS

That major league baseball means a lot to the soldiers over there is vouched for in a letter Clark Griffith received from L. L. Kemp, a Washington boy with the expeditionary forces. He wrote, in part: “To most of us, next to receiving letters from home, news of doings in the big leagues is the most welcome. The papers that we purchase here contain only the results of the big league games, but the interesting part, the box scores, are missing.” Kemp Inclosed two good luck K charms for the Washington pilot, and Griff is going to carry them around with him until the close of the season.
