those round, smooth stones that are to be found in the fields in the new Ameri- can possessions.
 During the Chinese trouble a baseball team representing the famous Ninth Reg ulars, played several matches with a team representing the marines for the benefit of the allied forces The diver sion proved a most welcome one to the troops all of them. from the fiaxen- haired Germans to the little "Japs." go- ing into ecstacies every time they had a chance to watch the Americans do such wonderful things with little piece of stuffed leather and a piece of wood, as they called it.
 In football no less than in baseball are the men who do Uncle Sam's' fighting proficient. This is easily accounted for when it is known that among the men today wearing the uniform of the regu- lars are many who prior to their enlist ment played on college, school, or maybe athletic club teams. and as result sup ply to the army and navy the brains ne cessary to train men how to play such a strenous game as is football. The out come is that the service brides itself on the possession of scores of creditable teams, which are always in condition and ready practically at a moments no- tice to uphold the reputation of their particular organization in the field.
 It may be mentioned here that few years back one of the finest football teams in the regular army was that rep resenting Fort McPherson of Atlanta, Ga The captain and one of the tackles" on that team was tall splen- didly proportioned soldier. He was an assistant surgeon and had been stationed at McPherson for some time. His name was Wood. This same Wood was later the colonel of the. Rough Riders and still later a Brigadier General of regulars and Governor General of Cuba. Johnson Poe, connected with the regular army for long time, and his name and fame are familiar throughout the service
 Of track athletics it may be said that there are so many men In the army and navy capable of running hundred-yard dashes close to record time or vaulting the pole and throwing hammer and shot, especially the latter, that to enumerate them it would be necessary to make practically a complete census of the two services.
 Still another branch of athletics that has reached high point of excellence is rowing. SThis branch, however, is prac- tically confined to the navy, for most of the army organizations, excepting of course, the heavy artillery, are stationed inland and away from the water. The races between crews representing battle ships, cruisers and other vessels is now a matter of history, and the papers often contain extended accounts of race be- tween picked crews from this or that ship, the outcome of which was watched with bated breath by Admfrals and oth- CT officers and men of the ship or squad ron. Rear Admiral Bob" Evans in his writings speaks of the prowess of his men in his "A Sailors Log" where with pride he refers to their victory oyer a crew representing one of the great battle ships that fly the flag of Germany.
