MANY COMPLAINTS
 OF BAD TREATMENT
YOUNG RECRUITS IN THE ARMY COMPLAIN OF THE CONDITIONS
 THAT SURROUND THEM.
They Find That Warefare Means Hard ship Which Evidently They Had Not Expected on Entering the Service.

London, Nov 7.- Charges that men and boys in England's training camps are not receiving humane tratment and that many deaths are resulting from bad feeding and poor shelter are causing great indignation. The com. plaints recall charges of criminal neg lect that were made against military authorities responsible for conditions at mobiliation centers in the United States during the spalish-American war.
 Some of the charges against the British War office have been put into specific form. letter written by F II. Bailey of bennington Spa, who's son enlisted from Oxford on Septem, Der l9 and died from pneumonia OR the training grounds on Salisbury Plains has been made public From 1t is taken the following story.
 In the course of his training. tn. young recruit wrote to his father On October 2, he said:
 "Ne, of course are stiff and suffer from bad feet, but we should not mind these discomforts if they would only feed us properly Today the food was slightly better, but it was not cooked None of us has had a square meal since we left home or a cup of tea What they call tea is colorcd water dosed with salt. The clothes they have given Ills are rotten and tear at the slightest strain. All the buttons hang on by a thread or two. This aft trnoon about loo of the 500 that were drilling had their trousers split from end to end
 The following day ne wrote on postcard
 Am still living, feeling damp at night no board floors in the tents yet
 The last letter on October 5th stat ed:
 Regarding the food problem, the same thing has happened again. The camp grumble, and so would anyone fl they had five hours drill and no food l hope to come home Christmas, but please have plenty of food'
 No further letters came, but on Oc- tober 10 Mr Bailey received word to visit his son in a military hospitol at Bristol. He was fortunate enough to arrive some hours before death oc- cured. The boy was full of gratitude for the kindness of the hospital staff but bitterly condemned the lack of preparation for the men, the damp tents and scanty and badly cooked food supply
 This is but one of a number of deaths in the training camps, and the proper clothing and housing of the men is proceeding all too slowly, ac- cordng to critics, in view of the com ing of winter.

The trio had tied with scores OF 304
each for ~ holes, but in the play Off,
the following day over IS holes, Oui-
met put up wonderfully strong game
winning out with n round of ~ strokes
while Vardon and Ray finished as
named with II and 7S respectively.
This year however. the event will
not have an international flavor as no
foreign entries have been received and
interest will be centered in Ouimet's
efforts to retain the open" title which
he so cleverly won from the strongest
and most representative field of golf

New York, Aug. 15.-Athletic au-
thorit!es both in American and abroad
realize that il the present war cOntin-

Will not be in a position To act as host
TO the Olympic teams. Entries from
all the European countries will be
greatly curtailed IL not abandoned en-

postpone the games or transfer the
meet To some nation not involved in
the clash OF arms.
In commenting on this angle OF the
present unsettled state OF affairs ath-

the American Olympic Committee
said:
"Of course its looking a long ways
ahead to attempt to predict the effect
OF the war abroad on the Olympic
Europe will be at peace again before

need OF a change in the program. IT,
however, a SHIFT is necessary the Unit

schedule as planned by Germany with

available stadiums in many parts Of
the country several OF which are cap

desirable to postpone the Panama Pa

SAYS WEST IS
UNDER HANDICAP
Can't Compete With Fasteners
In East on Even Terms

San Francisco Aug. 15.-Western
athletes can never hope TO compete on
equal terms or with anything like "a
fair chance with Eeasterners i'm their
part OF the country, declared Billy
Hayward, assistant coach OF the Am
erican Olympic team at the 1912
Stockholm games and now at the
Berkeley Summer Session, yesterday
in commenting upon the collapse OF
Robert Lindley Murray, the sensation
al Stanford racquet wielder, after his
defeat by William Johnson. The lat
ter San Franciscan also in turn show
ed reversal OF form when he sue
cumbed To lie Roy, "a comparatively in
ferior player.
The intense humidity OF the East,
asserts Hayward, has a very depress-
ing effect upon the athlete from the
coast who is totally unused to it.. The
broillng sun is also very hard on the
boy from the Pacihs slope, according
to Hayward. lie ascrlbes to these the
many record breaking athletes who
have failed to make anything better
than a mediocre showing when trans
planted. The effect is shown most
conspicuously where endurance is re-
quired The famous trainer recount
cd a number of instances to bear out
his statement
Hayward took Dan Kelley. worlds
record holder over the century course,
to the jamestown meet i'm 1907, only
to see him beaten badly in slow time
Kelly, however, on the same day, went
the broad jump and set up n new A.
a. L. record Of % feet IL inches, the
latter requiring no endurance. In the
when his strength failed and he drop
ped to fifth.
Karl Shattuck, Blue and Gold man,
and worlds intercollegiate record
holder in the hammer throw. was un-
able To come within 20 feet OF his
record at the |. G. a. A. meet in Bos-
ton last year. Shattuck had been
throwing over 10 feet all season at
Berkeley. but in Boston he was able
to throw only Isl feet.
Ed. Beeson is another Blue and
Gold man who has never approached
his best records in the east. In the
l. G. A. A. in 1913 he failed to place
in a 1873 high hurdle race and jumped
only six feet. At the Coast Conference
meet, three weeks before, he had done
1915 In the high obstacles and had
jumped feet 5. Capt Earle Crabbc,
OF Berkeley, also has shown the same
tendency. Two years ago. at the West
ern Conference meet he failed even
to place in the two-mile in which he
couldn't be beat on the coast
Bill Hayward is at the summer ses-
sion taking work in physical educa-
ton. Ten years ago he trained the
Blue and Gold track team. lie then
went to the University OF Oregon. He
trained the famous Seattle Athletic
club A. A. u. champions in 1903.
Hayward also was assistant coach
for the American olympic team in
the 1912 meet at Stockholm. Two Of
