...hold back the English is evident, but they did cause considerable trouble. A strengthening of such-points of resistance would very likely make a fortress. How are such pits to be destroyed? Maybe the tanks will be equipped with heavier guns, so that they can amble up to a "pill box" and fire point blank. Some new weapon or method of attack will certainly be devised to put the machine gun strongholds out of commission. Whatever is contrived, however, will be but one more step in the development taking place along the Western spout...

Broad-browed scholars who, though familiar with Newton's laws of motion, had never before tried the effect of willow on horse-hide, rose to the occasion and mashed the pill into a pulp. The result,--six runs in the first inning and seven more in the course of the game, while the visitors could barely nose out ten tallies. The features of the contest were Gilday's screaming homer to left, and an all-but-double-play, Anderson to Gilday...
