SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.--The policy of
the navy department. to encourage ath-
letics among enlisted men in the navy
was clearly indicated by its decision to
pay bill incurred by E. j. Hogan,
sailor of the cruiser Des Moines, IN hav-
ing a fracture OF the jaw reduced.
Hogan had his jaw fractured in a
football game between teams from rival
ships playing at Boston navy yard. He
incurred some expense in having the
injury attended to and submitted the
bill to the navy department. The sec
retary of the navy has several times
signifed his approval Of athletics
among the enlisted men. Line officers
OF the navy have of late years especial
ly encouraged the enlisted men in ath-
ietics, believing that in this way the
men get not only healthy recreation,
but also added interest in the navy life
They hold that sports give the men
something to think about and make
them more contented.
