PLAYED IN GAS MASKS

Hank Gowdy tells of playing one inning of a ball game over in France with the players wearing gas masks, against a team made us) of Twenty-sixth division boys. Hank pitched, and of course his team won, 4 to 3, but the wonder of it to Hank and to all others who have worn these gas masks was his center fielder catching a fly while peering through the dim panes.
