The burning and looting resembles that which preceded the German retreat in Marchalthough there is no indication that the enemy is preparing to evacuate this region immediately. Fire and terror are being spread in the French towns held by the enemy which are now coming under the guns of the Allies4jiat are fighting to redeem them. Recently captured prisoners de clare that St. Quentin has been completely sacked of everything of any value and that everything that could not be carried awajthas been destroyed.

HAMILTON, (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Whether TyCobb is los ing his batting title as king of base ball players isn't entirely demonstrated by his tremendous batting average for the year. On a recent visit to the New York Cobb, besides doing most of the baseball hammering,: pulling a play or two that by sheer audacity simply stunned Yankees and spectators alike. Ty had driven out a home run and then had singled. He went to second base, and when Veach reached first base the two of them worked a double steal, leaving Cobb on- third and Veach on second. ;. On a ball hit to the infield by Bups, Cobb sprinted for the plate and Veach for third. Cobb saw that he couldn't make it and easily beat Walt's throw to third.only to find that Veach was there also. Walters completely lost his head and, dashing to third, he tagged both runners, putting Veafcbvout. Then he saw Burns Wfidly 5 footing it for sec ond, and, forgetting; the plate was un oeopied, hipped the1 ball to second to get Burns. That was Gobb's cue. Like a flash he was up and off. He was within ten feet of the plate before Walters- knew what was going on and scored with ,ho trouble'. Connie Mack recent"declared that Cruise .and Hornsby of. the Cardinals arethe finest looking young players in baseball. He predicted that Horns by - eventually - would attain - the same degree of "excellence .voted Jack . Bar- ry. 3S ;;s iioio FACEGFAIIURKE OF - v. . : FIRE IflS iI0SO?Qrjl : BY WILLIAM P.
