TO REORGANIzE
 c. N. 6. INFANT TRY
Companies Will Have 15O Men War Strength and
 Regiments l,842.

The infantry regiments of the Con- necticut National Guard are to be re- organized, to conform with the new regulations of the United States army
 The war strength will be raised from 08 men for each company to 150 men. and three new auxiliary com panies will be added to each regiment, commanded by officers detailed from the regimental staff. Instead of 1,50O men. each regiment will be required to take 1,s42 men into the field if it is called out on a war footing.
 The three administrative companies which are to be added to each regi- ment Of infantry are the wagon com pa11S coniu1anded by the quartermas- ter, who will also assume the duties of the regimental commissary, the machine gun company, which will be commanded by the ,regimental com rnissary, and the headquarters com pany. commanded by the regimental adjutant, and composed Of the head duarters detachment or mounted scouts. the band and the non-com- 1rifssioned staff.s q he men of the mounted scouts will have permanent organization. but will be carried on the records of different companies from which they will be detailed for the special service.
 To supply the increased number of troops with adequate transportation for food, equipment ana ammunition, the wagon company has been organ ized and the mum Der of field and ann r1unition wagons attached to each reg iment increased from twenty-four to twenty-eight The number of am intuition wagons is raised from six to ten Eighty mules will be required instead of sixty eight.
 The new companies are to be made up as follows: The Headquarters Com pany. commanded by the adjutant. will consist of the band. the non-com- 1nissioned staff and the mounted scouts, the Machine Gun Com pany will be commanded blythe con1missary; the third company, the supply com par1y, will have charge of the supplies of the regiment and will be under the command of the quartermaster.
 As the Connecticut National Guard has not yet secured machine guns, that company will not be organized for the present. However. it is likely that it will not be long before machine guns will be issued and the new companies formed
 The Supply company will be organ fled at once

DECATUR FAN
Is REAL SPORT
Pays $50 Himself to See Johnson
Pitch One Inning

Chicago Aug. 11.-Fifty dollars per
inning is Walter Johnson's price for
pitching i'm exhibition contests. At
least that's the fee collected by the
speed king for displaying his extraor-
binary talents against three batters at
Decatur, port in the Three-l league.
Walter was en- tour with his ship
mates when they visited Decatur
Thursday. He had battled nine in
nngs at Cleveland. Numbered among
the cash customers drawn to the park
war an eighteen carat royal rooter who
drove thirty miles fired with the hope
OF seeing Grinith's hurting wizard in
action. Another member OF the Wosh-
ington team drew the slab assignment
and the hero worshipper was peeved.
After waiting and hoping for five in
ninEs the eighteen carat fan lurched
down to the Washington bench. He
accosted Germany Schaefer, acting
boss Of the Senators.
II, want to see Walter Johnson
pitch" said the royal rooter.
Sorry" returned Germany, John
son pitched yesterday"
Being a game bird, the stranger dug
into his wcll-worn jeans and produced
his bank roll.
do YOU reckon he'll pitch one inning
FOR $5O?" quericd the persistent person.
"rll see" replied the acting boss.
Johnson was interviewed he agreed
to work, and did Then he collected the
fifty and pocketed s25 while an equal
share was awarded to Mike Martin,

SHOULD WOMEN
Be SPECTATORS
Sport Circles Discussing the De-
corum of the Boxing Ring

When Carpenter the F'renchman,
and Gunboat Smith, American,
stepped into the London ring to battle
for the white championship, over 1000
women looked down upon these fistic
gladiators.
Their soprano cheers have been
answered by roar OF protest-a pro-
test against women looking upon the
blows of bleeding boxers. "Unwom-
rhed. Good sport" comes the reply
and sportsmen, sociologists novelists,
psychologists have entered into the
battle OF pen and ink which will deter
mine the right OF woman to do as she
pleases
Those who trace the interest OF the
English woman in prize fighting back
to militant suffragst birth stop
when they find that the dainty Paris
ian sister from the boulevards hero
ICES the black pugilists from America,
and that Pittsburgh, the home Of
plauding feminity to the edge OF the
resned ring.
THE loosening of the shackles of
convention has let loose the sleeping
emotions Of the primitive age is the
sage explanation OF one historian. THE
average woman loved the strongest
beast" She learned to admire the
man Of muscle and Of courage. She
applauded even az she fell under his
club in the stone age. She came back
to type in ancient Rome when gladia-
tors were more often the recipient of
feminine favors than were statesmen.
Emotions chained by centuries Of mod
ern civilization are turned loose, and
again she goes to vent her pride and
interest upon the man unafraid who
battles with his hands.
Around the London shambles were
ceated women whose titles date back
To years when, their forebears won
them on battle fields. Literary clubs
came in force. Working women paid
their shilings to sit in cheaper stalls.
An Aberdare newspaper has Miss
Mary Edwards report its fights, and
she il is who rings the gong as time
keeper.
London is aghast. 1t feels that it has
problem. And the warning forces
spill ink in great gobs in an effort to
settle it. France, with its chivalry,
lifts its hat as its women raise their
skirts and step to the ringside seats
Pittsburgh is ready to copy either If

HALPlN MOST POPULAR
AS ATHLETIC LEADER.

Matty Halpin, manager OF the AM
games in 1916. has become one Of the
most popular men connected with ath-
letics in this country.
This is little different from 1914,
at Athens. That year Halpin was or
dered to keep the expenses down. He
obeyed orders and, naturally, this
didn't make hit with the boys. They
wanted this and that, and when Hal
pin would not get IL for them they
sulked and PANIED Halpin right and

When Halpln was made manager of
the team which went to London in
1908, there was n howl again, but he
continued his square policy and soon
the boys began to like him. He was
honored at Shepherds Bush. given the
key TO everything, and treated royalty
by all.
In 1912 at Stockholm the same thing
happened. Here the boys began To
realize that Halpin was doing every
thing in his power to make the trip a
success. not only in the matter of win
ming points, but in providing for the
comfort of the athletes.
This year, when the formal an
nouncement was made that Halpin
would again lead the American Olym-
pic team. a general cheer arose, for. let
II be known, Iialpin is now one OF the
most popular men connected with Am

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Chicago is stir

transferred to Chicago
Everett c. Brown who has just re-
turned from the athletic conference at
Lyons, at which the rules for amateur
ism for the athletes OF the world were
adopted, gave birth to the idea, and
it was instantly seized upon by the
athletics clubs. There is small chance
that the games will be transferred. II
the war situation continues serious
until 1876 serious enough to prevent
the holding OF the games in Berlin;
then it would be "A farce to hold them
in Chicago-as the nations OF Europe
would not be in position to send
teams. II, on the other hand, the war
is settled, and the passions beginning
to cool the holding OF the Olympic
games at Berlin would be a great step
toward the restoration Of the era of

Besides San Francisco has a claim
for the games far ahead OF that OF
