PAYS TRIBUTE TO B.B. PLAYERS
ST. PAUL, Minn. June 10—The recent death of Nedi
Egan by his own hand in Chicago,caused many a baseball
player to speak feelingly of their friendship and of Egan’s
character, but probably the most unique tribute came in a
letter to St Paul, from Ollie Anderson, the vetern umpire.
Anderson, a former resident of this city, is living in Ari
zona.
“Umpires are supposed to have no feelings to shed no
tears,but they do bow their heads occasionally and mine
is bowed in thought,” wrote Anderson. “I have just read of
the death of Ned Egan.”
"As a baseball genous he was worthy of being com
pared to (’ominsky; as developer of players he was a Con
nie Mack; as a winner of pennants he was a king of the
bushers. As a friend, he was loyalty itself. “What more can
we sav?”

LIVERPOOL, June 10 — How eveiy
i man of a German company lost his
life in an attack on the Armentieres
front is told in a letter from Liver
pool officer to his local newspaper.
“The fiercest fight we had ,” he
writes, “was when the enemy massed
' troops with the object of widening the
gap he had made. The attempt was |
made in open country, wheic we were
able to mass- a number r»f battalions
, against him, and the figh ing was
] very fierce.
“Our Liverpool battalion had the
of honor. When the Gennans started
to throw their troops against us we
poured into their ranks a very heavy
(ire and did terrific execution.
“Immediately in front of us, a Ger
man company got caught between our'
fire and that of another English reg
iment, with the result that, they could
neither advance nor go back. They
kept on tiying to reach our square,
but were shot down one by one until
cnly six of them remained. These six
threw down their rifles and signified
that they wished to surrender. But
they were seen by a German officer
near by, who gave an order to his men
und the six were shot down by their
own comrades before they could reach
us.”
