Somewhere In Germany Grover
Cleveland Alexander, the $50,000
pitcher with the Chicago Nationals,
and three other major league players
attached to the American army of oc
cupation, are Impatiently counting the
days when they will board a home
ward-bound transport, says a Chicago
Associated Press dispatch.
“What a grand and glorious feeling '
that will be for the gang! We all '
have said it will be the happiest day
of our lives,” writes Sergeant Charles 1
Ward of the 342d field artillery, a part 1
of the Eighty-ninth division, now sta- '
tioned in Germany. With Ward, who 1
formerly was a member of the Brook
lyn Nationals, are Pitcher Alexander,
Otis Lambeth of the Cleveland Ameri- 1
cans, Johnny Noyes of the Philadel
phia Nationals, and Lloyd Waite of 1
the Pittsburgh Nationals.
The players are members of the same
detachment doing patrol duty in one ‘
of the German towns on the Rhine.
Ward’s letter relating his experi
ences while en route to the German
border was dated December 10. It ‘
follows in part:
“We are well 6n our way into Ger
many and are now resting in a Ger- ,
man village called Spang for a few ,
days. We started on this journey ,
from a.town called Beney, in France,
being mounted on horseback. I ex- ,
perienced a little hard luck with my t
mount when hie back became so sore ]
from the saddle after riding for three .
days steadily. I had to walk for the (
remainder of the eight days of the t
journey, making eleven days in all
that we were on the road. And be
lieve me, we were all in when we ,
reached this town. Can you Imagine ,
Alexander, 'Noyes, Lambeth, Lieut. ,
Waite and myself traveling for miles j
on horseback, pulling big batteries be- |
hind us and going into big shell holes j
large enough to bury a whole detach- ,
ment?
"As soon as we put foot on German
soil we really thought our treatment ,
from the Germans we had had fought
would be altogether different from
what we experienced in tfife allied
country, and above all, we would not
receive any more good eats. But to
the contrary, we feasted fine, and only
last night we were dished out a grand
German meal with excellent apple but
ter thrown in. I had some German
home-made bread, and It was like
mother used to make. We always
leave a few marks when we are leav
ing with the people that give us some
feed, and you would think that they
were being handed $1,000 the way
they rave over it. A mark is about
20 cents in our money.
“Our infantry is two days ahead
of us, and we will all be happy when
we get to our destination. Alexander,
floyes, Lambeth and myself sat down
,n one of the towns of Luxemburg for
jver two hours relating some of the
jreat times we had while playing ball,
ind wishing that we were again in
he real country, the good old U. S. A.,
setting ready for the spring training
:rip to the Southern climate instead
)f trying to make these people under
itand us. We can hardly wait for the
:lme to come when we will again be
iboard a ship that will take ub across
die Atlantic to our dear old home, the
and of the Stars and Stripes. We
lave all said that it will be the hap
i>iest day of our lives when we hear
jur commander say ‘Get ready to sail
lor home.’ What a grand and glori
jus feeling that will be for the gang!”
The Cleveland American League
flub will have a new trainer this sea- 7
ion, George Kuhles, who acted in that
lapacity last year, having resigned
o go into business. Charley Hitt, for
ner trainer, may be re-engaged when
le returns from overseas. He is a
nember of the Canadian army.
John Mahlum, former football star
it Georgetown University, is dead in
France of influenza, according to of
icial information received by his pa
•ents at Brainard, Minn. Mahlum
vas widely known in state inter
icholastic circles before he went to
Jeorgetown. He was the son of a -
vealthy lumberman. Mahlum enlist- |
id in August, 1917, and after training
it Camp Kearney, California, he was
lent to France. He was a sergeant.
The Kansas City American Associa
ion club probably will do its spring
raining at home this season. Last
ear the training was at Parsons,
ian. George Muehlebach, president
if the club, has arranged exhibition
lames with the Chicago Nationals, to
>e played at Kansas City April 19 and
10, and has tentatively arranged
lames with the Chicago Americans
or April 12 and 13.
The ring days of Gus Christie, a vet
iran Milwaukee middleweight, are
learing an end. Christie probably .
vili be obliged to retire because of ■
ailing eyesight. He managed to hold j
in to his ring earnings, however, and ■
s reported to be in comfortable cir
lumstances. :

SALT LAKE TO n
A SCENIC HIGHWAY j
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 17 (by As- j
jociated Press).—Plans for linking ■
:he highways of Salt Lake county by :
:he construction of about 25 miles of i
die new roads and the improvement i
if 100 miles of existing roads, which ]
:he county road department Is now '■
id vacating, will give this state, pro- j
aiding the plans are carried out, one ,
if the attractive scenic drives in the ,
west. The proposed scenic highway ^
would include all points of interest i
in the Salt Lake valley and hills sur- ^
pounding this city. It would include \
Ihe famous Emigration canyon, 5
through which the original band of 3
Mormon pioneers passed on their way J
iere, beside other canyons and mining £
md smelting towns of Bingham, Gar- S
ield and the famous Saltair resort. j
The proposed scenic highway would j
wind over the mountains that bur- S
•ourvd this city, traverse the many \
wooded canyons and reach all of the •:
nteresting points within a radius of ■
ifty or sixty miles. It is estimated i
hat the highway would provide a mo- i
or tour occupying one full day. j
