With that pair of soldier athletes on the Job Boston must be considered a

"The club looks better to me than at any time since 1915," said George
Stalllngs after the morning workout. "The boys are working harder.

I never have seen

Every day Herzog Is the flist man on ihc field. Ifo gets as much
batting practice as possible and takes fielding practice around second base
until the last batter has departed He still plays a wonderful game, Jmt it
Is a question if he Is worth $10,000 to a ball club unless there Is a good

springs and summers I.nnk Hank ever will
know again.
It was only shortly after this that the
Ttalnbow- Division was thrown In with the
French lo lepel the massive German offensive
along the Champagne front, where the Teu
tonic assault, wave after wave, was literally
cut and blown to pieces the most effective
check any (Jennan attack ever had met.
This was only the start. The Itainbow
array was tossed back Into action late in
.Inly just this side nf the Ourcq. Coming- along
the road leading Into the woods near Fere-en-Tardenola
one morning we heard a "familiar
voice. And theip, slogging up tho road, was
Lank Hank and his famous grin. Some ono
had said a few bouts before that Hank had
lost a leg.
"That iumor," said. Hank, "is practically
unfounded. I think I've walked both my
feet off, but my legs aie still hanging
...
LflS regiment had draion Its share of rough work, but the first
" major league ball pliyer to enlist was still cheerful.
Hank's Reappearance m, St. Mihiel Salient
fTIHAT was early In August. Five or six weeks later we happened to b
-- batting around the woods near Lemarches, in the St. Mihiel salient. It
was pouring rain and the mtid was knee-deep. Just around the turn a
bedraggled figure emeiged from the underbtush. minus a fresh shave, with
tuo or three inches of mud scattered up and down his person.
It was Lank Hank again. The smile was still there, but a trifle sub
dued. Hank had been sleeping in this same stretch of woods for five
nights with only one blanket. It was little better than a swamp. It was
no place to spend a pleasant night If jou had ten blankets.
"It's a great war," said Hank. "I hope I'm going to like It, for I think
II will be my last one. I wouldn't mln'd It so much If I thought by next
A-prll I'd be pegging one down to second again. How long Is it going to
last, anyhow?"
"Olr, not over three or four years," we said, to offer all possible cheer.
An hour later we told him good-by again, and the tall catcher drifted
back Into the woods to see If nny one had pilfered his lone blanket during
his absence.
.
llTO "WOXDEIl llanl had lost a small section of his ancient smile.
" The woods he happened lo be inhabiting were a mixture nf
thicU underbrush and swamp under heavy rain all dayuiider
heavy rain and heavier shell fire all night. ,
The Last Stop, Thence Homeward Bound
THK last time we saw Sergeant Gowdy came with a glimpse of pink hair
gleaming through the Itlienlsh fogs.
Hank was lured. Into Coblenn for a two-day visit. This was lato Decem
ber, and Hank Was ready to start home. "Tho war being over," he said,
"I'd sure like to get back in time to go South with tlie bunch next March,
I'm" no longer a youngster and I've been out two jears already. When
do we move away from here?"
H
LOOKUP to be in fine physical shape, 't'heie is no great
amount of fun carrying an
thiough I'rrnrh mud, but for all that
Gowdys Career Has
ANK was born just thirty years ago
tt
M
opened his professional career In
League. After two seasons In Lancaster he reported to Dallas in the
Texas League in' 1010. In 1911 he joined the Giants and was later traded
to Boston. In 1913 he was sent to Buffalo, where he batted .317, and so
was promptly, recalled.
In 1914 He rose to his greatest baseball heights when he batted over
.300 against Uie Athletics, pounded the ball all over the lot and drove In
enough runs almost unaided to win tlie series.
Hank never. has been a great hitter, ranging between .247 nnd ,287.
But he has always been a dangerous man at hat and one of the steadiest
catchers in the-game.
.V 191" he played In forty-nine games and then chucked the gray
uniform of Ilostoir for the khaki of Uncle Sam.
Good for Morale
BEYOND his baseball ability, Gowdy always was considered a good man
for the club on account of his cheerful and amiable aggressiveness.
He was good for morale. That grin of his nlone was a morale maker.
Things couldn't break too badly to get Hank's goat.
He always-has hustled and given his best. In going In when he, did,
Hank did something more than serve his country. He was one of the
very few" who helped the game from sinking to disgrace by entering the
service early at a time when 4nen were needed most.
