The severe fighting in the St. Die sector was referred to in General .ershing's report, and is mentioned five times in the last report by General March. President Ebbets of the Brooklyn National league club recently declared that he would vote against the sale of the St. Louis Cardinals to a Kansas City syndicate which Is ready to hand over 500,000 for the franchise. He said that the National league would lose prestige In evacuating St. Louis. "I am growing tired of baseball," said Ebbets. "I have been worrying over tht Brooklyn club Tor so many years that some day I may decide to sell out!" "What would you take for the club, franchise, players, and park?" was asked. "At least $2,000,000." he replied earnestly. ".Maybe! But you must remember that the New York club wouldn't be worth a dollar if it didn't have seven j other clubs, including Brooklyn, to play with. Why, our real estate alone is worth $400,000! Yes, $2,000,000 would be about right! Evidently the Brooklyn magnate intends to remain in baseball. JUDGES' SALARIES INCREASED WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.

The picture printed above shows the arrival of the German armistice delegation at the field headquarters of Marshal Foch, in a railroad car behind the lines, to ask MARTINSVILLE IS DEFEATED BY LOCAL PLAYERS First Game on Richmond Floor Taken by Local High by Score of 25 to 2 1 . The lid was knocked off of the 191819 basketball season in Richmond last night when the Richmond High school team won their second game of the season from Martinsville high. 25-21 at the Coliseum. Last Friday night Richmond won from M uncle at Muncie. Stegman was easily the star of the evening as far as scoring was .concerned as he made 14 of Richmond's 25 points. The two guards did not break into the score sheet except when Eversman had two personal fouls and one technical called against him. The game was fast and furious from start to finish first one team in the lead and then the other. At the end of the first half the score stood 12-12. With about three minutes to play the Martinsville team took a one point lead. Richmond scored a field goal but it did not count as a double foul was committed. Both goals were missed. Richmond scored a foul goal tieing the score. Dollins and Stegman each scored a field goal in quick succession clinching the game. Tackett, the Martinsville center, and Towsend the forward, were the stars for Martinsville. Tackett was taller than any of the Richmond men and he could reach over their heads with wonderful ability. The first half of Martinsville team had the Richmond boys "going" and the game was in doubt until the last few minutes of Play. Eversman, the little floor guard of the Richmond team is fast developing into one of the fastest floor guards seen on the local floor in many years. He plays a clean fast game and" puts lots of "pep" into the team. He seems to be wherever the ball is in play and no matter against whom he is jumping, makes a good showing. The high school rooters were out in force to see their team win. "Al" Chrowe and Burr Simmons are the yell leaders for the school. The score: Richmond. Gls. Fls. Msd. Pts.

"Abe Martin cn the War and Other Things" is the title of this year's holiday offering of Kin Hubbard, humorist, of the Indianapolis News, and the human interest side of his most recent contribution is perhaps its most striking feature. It requires real artistic skill, a delicate touch, to strike the humor in war. Abe Martin's "The Psychology of the Uniform" in which he brings out the instinctive feminine admiration for the man in uniform, finds a responsive chord. And what of Stew Nugent's "Letter From the Front?" There is no offense offered the soldier letter writer; to the contrary, there is a rich humor about Stew's utter disregard for the dangers of the trench and his insistent and adroit call for more cigarettes from home, that should tickle the funnybone of either soldier or civilian. Says Stew: "I'm finishin' this letter this mornin as a piece of . shrannel put my candle out last night and no matches wuz to be had. The French people wuz certainly glad to see me j but they have scarcely cigarettes for J 'emselves and are tired cut and poor ; after fightin' so long, so I hate to ask j 'em for "em when friends kin send S 'em to me so easily any time.

Only one no-hit game of the full nine innings was recorded in the big leagues in the short 1918 season. Dutch Leonard, Red Sox southpaw, held the Tigers hitless June 3. There were six no-hit games in 1917 and four in 1916. There were nine one-hit games in the American league last season and eight in the National league. Christmas Book and Other Things' only cigarettes is the most important. I'm writin' now with a pencil as a piece of flyin' schiapnel jest busted my fountain pen." And finally Stewmakes the confession that when he returns home he is "goin' to work." The book abounds with the brief, pithy, and philosophical observations of Abe Martin, all of them keen-cut and rich in their humor, principally because everybody has observed the same things, but failed many times to get exactly the right perspective, j One of the best feature chapters is Uncle Niles Turner's "Forty Years Ago," in which this sterling citizen of the long ago, brings to mind that what j was eminently fitting and proper a I few decades since does not fill the bill today. Here are a few of them: "The whole family dressed around the kitchen stove in the winter, one at a time." "A farmer did not know what an egg j or a ioaa or nay wuz worm mi ne got to town." "A feller with a hoss an' phaeton, wuz supposed to be wealthy." "New shoes soueaked." "Every bay window was full of geraniums." "We all wore soggy red flannel underwear." "Bacon was the chief diet of the poor and oppressed." And so on, until the reader firmly believes that Uncle Xiles has enumerated about all the changes that have come. Kin Hubbard's peculiar variety of humcr stands alone. He does not even have imitators. Ten years ago his work was known only to the readers of the Indianapolis News, in which his daily contribution has long been a feature. Now, however, throughout the country "Abe Martin" has become a character known to everybody. The annual Christmas book is a fixed in-
