The Troy athlet has long been hailed as the brainiest player in baseball. Yet the season f nineten-ei;,hteen, an exceptional season for veterans, too. finos him out of a job. Evers started the season with the Boston Ked Sox, but was rather summarily dismissed. He then offered his services to the New York Yankees "just to show Boston that he is as good as ever," but Manager Miller HukTRins declined to make room for him on the Gotham aggregation.

Times Sport Writer Describes Great Work of His Battery in First Real Clash Between Yanks and Heines.

Izzy Chayken Is srortins with the Heine, and his battery is mixing it up with them in great shape. The last from him dated: "At the Front with the French Army, June 10, 1915"Dear Friend Farry: "Well. P. A., here I am again in the thick of the fray and m the first row with the ja.s going en in the -irchptra, the 'well known marines and infantry are here too and you ?hou!d see us perform, even those bloodthirsty Huns who have been taken prisoner smilingly saythat the showing of the American troops thus far has staggered the entire German staff. How's that for us soldiers who did not know a gun a year ago and today we are facing the best that the Fotsdam gang can offer? "Our bojs ere rut oxer m a very quiet manner, the Germans had things figured out their own way and little did they expect to meet any Americans. It was a great surprise for them and when things grew hot the. Huns fell in despair. My battery had not been in the line an hour when we started our runs a roaring. Bang. bang. bang, the shells were on their way. Th.? other batteries near us started th same and the noise would have made the Kast Chicago tank works sound like a prayer meeting with Billy Sunday presiding at the altar. The Huns repl:ed for a fewhours and a few landed very close, tn fact so c'ios that I said. "Amen" after It was all over. As far as I could le.irn we suffered no heavy casualties, wmie the German dead were hundreds, with many wounded. I am slso told, and this from an officer who knows, that the scrimmage I was in was the first real one the Americans have yet been In. The terrific rain from the artillery still continues as I write this letter and while things are skirmishing: back and forth we are holding on with a good foot-hold. There were, scores of instances of Individual valor among our boys, and from what I understand our entire division is to be cited for courage under fre, a citation rarely given to any Individual army corps, especially whn the citation is to come from the French and General Foch. "The German officers are trytnfr to make some desperate counter at'.acks. but the men behind German guns refuse to go against the Americans, replying that we show brilliance and much resistence and that there is no possible, chance for them to take any ground. If this be true we shall win out sooner than I expect, and if the kaiser and his madmen keep it up they win find us Jerry-on-the-job. "So hot was the fighting around that Floyd Gibbons, the w. k. Chicago Tribune's relay artist, was severely wounded by a piece of shrapnell while taking down data for th w. g. n. Gibbons, a marme officer stated, was truck In te helmet and this probably saved the torpedoed adventurer from death. Beside being hit in the dome a piece of rusty metal hit Gibbons" left ye and still another pierced his southpaw arm. Outside of this Gibbons fatd well and from reports received at division hea.lquarters the Tribune correspondent is doing fairly well. "For the first time since coming to France I saw today several American aeroplanes and T am sure that If we had a few thousand over here now the

By K. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK. June 29. Babe Ru'h's feats in the outiieid for the Rosion Rd Sox bring to mind th pitchers f th past who changed from hurlors 1.0 outfielding demons, and present day fi. niters capable of wielding a fearsome stick at the plate and chasing a fly with the vigor of a Felsch. Cobb or Speaker. Flir.giFts are not rare who can step to the plate in a pinch and swat the dust eft the ball. Thf pitchers become dubly aluab'o to their ball clubs when they are pitching, f -r they supply an unexpected and worrysume punch to the batting order. Walter Johnson, once called the. greatest pitcher in the world, and undoubtedly a leading candidate for that honor just now. is one of the best bi ters in th American lastu". In Cleveland we have the specaicle of

Karl Hamilton was a good hitter, (jene Packard knows j how. and Claude Hendrix of the t'ubs is ! often thtown into the fr.ty as a pinch ! hitter.
