From Vernon Nott Still in France, June 24th Dear Grandma: I received your card dated May 21: I am still in the land of the living, but a few more of my chums have been knocked out, four of them got it with one shell. I was near them at the time, but I soon cleared off for awhile, then we came back and pick- ed them up. I am in good health and am away back miles behind the line for a rest. Don't know when we will be going up again, but I would love to stay here, as it is quiet and lots of sports pro- vided by the YM CA. - We don't hear aay guns or bombs, and believe me its a treat too. I have not heard fiom Harry at all. I hope he is still in England. I am not with Frank now. I am with a battalion, will let you know what number later on, but at present send all my mail to the same address and Frank will forward it on to me. I have only a few minutes to write so must hurry. I would certainly love a box with maple sugar in it, Hope dad and aunt Iza are, O. K. Tell dad to have a special bed of onions for me when I get home, but to tell the truth I don't think I will have the pleasure of eating them. I had over $400 to my credit the last of April, but I can't touch it until after the war. They could keep it all if I could get my discharge. I can't get 'a wound like the most of the boys-- lucky in some ways and unlucky an- other. : F-have not been_ inside of a had a leave so I will be going in' a month or 80 1 'Bowling {Port Bertyoowon 7. ious? 14 Ba Sunderland--won 5, lost 6: 10 points.

Mr W H Letcher took a rink to Bowmanville on Monday, playing two games. A good argument was putup in each game, but Bowmanville won out by seven and five pownts. The greens in that town are excellent, and their players are the best of enter- tainers.

"A large game of baseball was cele- brated this afternoon inthe Polo arena in the city of Bronx, a long ride by train from New York City. As is the custom in the United States of North America, the business 'closed for the afternoon, so employees might attend the spectacle. At least three million civilians, soldiers, and many women and children were present, The pitcher for tbe New York City troupe was very valiant and charming. The baseball clothing is not as pretty as that worn by the 'toreador,' but the players carry themselves well. The game is played with the hands: but is not like 'pelota' in any respect. The object is to keep the ball off the ground, and the troupe which does so longest wins the game. In place-of a bull, baseball has an umpire, a man who does not play the game, but is authority of the game. Unlike the judge of a bull-fight, he stands on the field. He is not goaded with pikes, banderillas, and finally the sword, as is the bull, but is the recip- ient of abuse both from the players and from the multitude seated in the huge arena. Instead of "another bull" the crowds when displeased yell, "Get the-hook!" This a figure of speech which means that another um- pire is desired, The umpire is also called a "robber" and a "big fathead" The people at a baseball game con- tinually are eating, or chewing gum, of the mouth do not prevent a tinual yelling. It is difficult for thors] om knowing little English to understand the things cried at the players or the umpire.
