PUBLISHED
At MONTEREY CAMP
RECEIVED HERE FROM GOLD
FIELD MAN WHO is TAX
ING COURSE

Volume l, No. Z of The Mon
terey Rookie, a f~our-column, four
page daily newspaper published at
the military training camp at Mon
terey, Cal, has been received by
the fire department, presumably
from Will Catalan, who is taking
the course of training at the camp.
Although the paper received in
Goldfield contains but four pages,
the Rookie is evidently published at
times in eight pages as the Associat-
ed Press recently stated that the
training-camp paper had probably
the biggest array of journalistic
four column newspaper, the pages
being 9x12 inches. The paper has
two editors and II associate editors
all men taking the course at the
camp, prints no Geographic news
and it's readers are not pestered by
an editorial column. 1t contains
considerable advertising.
Joseph Loeb is managing editor
and the list of members of the edi-
torial staff contains the IN
of A.. B. Cusaden, Sunday editor of
the Los Anfieles Examiner; R. T.
Van Ettisch. president of the Los
Angeles Press club, and men On
the editorial stats of every big news
paper published in California.
1t tells a story that parallels the
man who went into a haberdashery
and asked for a size 10 collar and
and was directed to a harness shop
in an account of a recruit whose
foot measured IA Is inches. The
government was unable to fit him.
1t also contains poetry telling of
the feelings of "Seargent Mccarthy
Of company X Of the training camp
of Monterey" when he first looked
the recruits over and his thoughts
OF them after putting them through
q weeks training. The last stanza
follows:
"As Sergeant I locker 'em over
1.-The Corporal shook his head:
These business men are as
weak DIS CdtS.
In a month they'll all be dead
But. Bedad, the first weeks over
Ind they're fit as fit can be.
I'm mighty proud to be top
Sarg,
"Of the grandpa cOmpanee."
The sergeant has but n COM
plant to make. He says. But
they're turribly slow in the marnin'.
I can't get 'em out in line"
The paper received here bears
the date of July 90 and gives the
following schdule of instruction for
the next day:

BURROS EAT

A burro reached owe the fence
around a North Main street resi-
dence last night and partook Of
some of the plants. Complaint was
made to the sheriff's office this
morning and Deputy Sheriff b.
gard took the trail. On his ar
rival at the flower garden, he
found that the guilty burro lad
failed to wait for him. He said
there We're several burros in the
vicinity, but that he was convin-
ced all were innocent. He claims
to be able to judge from the ex
preston on a burro's face whether
or not the animal has been break

PREPARATION OF
PRIMARY BALLOT
EACH PARTY WILL HAVE Dis
TNCTIVE COLOR TINT IN
PAPER USED

There is one feature of the new
primary law that should command
the immediate attention of county
sponsible for the proper printing OF
the primary ballots. Section z of
the act (Chapter 2S3) provides that
the official party primary election
ballots shall be printed upon a
good quality of tinted paper" a diff
ferent tint for each primary ballot"
The act further provides that for
the republican party the tint shall
be blue, for the democratic party
pink and for the socialist party gray,
and for other political parties such
different tints as the county clerk
shall determine.
1t is doubtful If any printing Of
flee in the state could, on demand,
supply the paper of proper quality
and size in the tints which the law
requires.
One of the first duties OF the
county clerk should be to determine
the number of ballots required for
each party and consult his printer
az to the necessary size of the sheet,
The specifications of the ballot
ale set forth in sections 5 and Z,
and the man who is not a practical
printer and who has not at hand
the number, or approximate number,
of names the ballot will carry,
will find it difficult to comply with
the law.

The Second Game.

Ragged support marked the playing OF
the MONTPELIER team in the second con-
test in the same way as the first game.
Gallagher, who played about the whole
game for Montpelier held the locals 10
seven hits in the five innings, but ms
felders were asleep on the beat, SO 10
sneak, with the result of many breaks OF
the game going against him, the score
ending ) to in favor OF Barre
Tommy Tomasi, who worked on the
hillock for the home team in this battle,
showed the fans worlds of smoke, but
on several occasions he went INTO the
air on account of the cold north breeze
that was blowing across the diamond
throughout the afternoon, the wind seem
ing to affect his pitching wing. During
the five stanzas that he was on the
mound. six of the opposing batsmen
failed in their efforts to connect with
his shoots and but four hits were made
off his delivery.
Joe Brickley was easily the shining
light of this fray, as the speed boy from
Everett gathered in four hard chances
in the field. one of them being OF the
Speaker variety, as he ran from short
left into the deep field near the fence

lowed him in the first game by rapping

there was very little interest in the game

DOUBLE WIN
BY BARRE
Defeat Montpelier Through
Poor Backing for
Gallagher
MELANSON AND
TOMASI WINNERS
Both of the Barre Twirlers
Show Good Brand of
Box Work

Gallagher was given another hard beat
ing in both contests OF the double bill az
the Berlin street grounds saturday art
ernoon. when the Italians walloped the
capital city team by the scores OF IL TO
? and 6 to ,. the latter IN i've innings
While Gallagher was hit hard II was not
his fault that Barre was able to run up
the score which they did, as his support
was the poorest seen at the local park
this season.
Dobbs, Montpelier manager, brought
up bunch of school boys, who injected
about as much life in the game as
grammar school team would on rainy
sdsy. While Gallagher was hit freely and
al times hard, no one can blame nm lot
the big score that his opponents maze
as many of the hits garnered OIL nun
would have been easy outs II the heiders
had shown any speed in covering ground
and had played their positions.
During the first game, Dobbs became
peeved at the way Gallagher was pltch-
ing. after the Italians had scored brace
OF runs: and not taking into considera-
ton the backing that the pitcher was re-
ceiving from the felders, the manager
walked out to the diamond and told the
lanky southpaw what he thought about
the pitching and ordered Gallagher to
the bench. telling Cansles at the same
time to don his glove and 60 into the
box to finish the game. The players OBJ
iected very strenuously to this move, so
Dobbs allowed his star boxman TO remain
on the mound.
Melanson who has lost the ink some
where on his trail, pitched great game,
holding the visitors to five scattered hits,
three of these being on the scratch order.
Joe Comolli led the Barre team in their
great drive with three solid cracks, one
| hitting the left field fence, going for a
i triple and three men on bases racing
home at the same time, another going IN
| the same direction for double, while his
third hit was hard single to center
Aside from Comolli's long hit, there were
verv few features of note, as the hits
were not hard drives, although number
went for extra base hits because the
felders were slow in relaying the ball Il
the infeld. The score is as follows:

pectancy of the arrival of one of the sub.

81 days for the eastward trip. She came
across the Atlantic the first time in 10
DAYS. She could easily have discharged

No French AnRmia.

For country that has been bled white
the soldiers of France show an astonlsh-
ing power of offense. The successive ad-
eances of Foch at the Somme do not sug-
gest national anamia. France seems IN
greater power than ever before. For i've
months, practically without assistance,
she successfully met the best Germany
had to offer, and then turned and smote
her adversary.
The German "bled white" doctrine
must be relegated to the limbo where
reposes the companion doctrine "Nerdun
will be taken The French have sui
fered heavy losses-how great the world
does not know. But whatever they are
they are not serious enough greatly to
weaken the weight of the French armies.
All the evidence is that France is more
powerful in military way than at any
time during the war-has more men with
the colors, more cannon, and ammuni-
ton, and aeroplanes. If the war has
brought blanching of the arteries it
would seem that Germany need more
fear a look in the mirror than France.
On the moral side the French seem as
ensanguined as on the military side. The
war is supported with a unanimity dis
cernible in no other country. The Ger
man idea that France could be detached
from her allies showed misjudgment Of
French psychology. France is chivalric
and will enter into no negotiation behind
the backs OF her friends. France more
than any other nation has concept OF
civilization which is opposed to that Of
Germany. and viii not betray her ideal.
France unites to her cosmOpolitanism a
passion of nstionslism and demands her
reconstruction through the restoration OF

Sums of Money.

New York, Sept. ls.-The death at

Becker, who won international notoriety
as forger and penman OF skill, became
known Saturday He died in poverty,
according to his friends. Becker once
stole 100000 francs, approximately 81

his forgeries, and with confederates was
successful in similarly obtaining enor-
NOUS sums from banks in Russia Aus

try, he was arrested, but escaped from
prison. A life sentence behind bars for
raising 50 check to $4,000 was Beck

about by the American Bankers assocla-
ton Becker was 6S years old when he

Baseball Briefs.

President Joe Lannin of the Red Sox
left Boston Saturday morning for Chica-
90, where he will meet the Red Sox team,
who are playing in tn" Windy city now.
Lannin's idea OF going West was to put
some OF the old pep into his men. Lam
min SAYS that a team will cheer up and
play a great deal better ball with some
one to talk to them and give them some
confidence in their work. tanning thinks
that the playing before partisan crowds
in Chicago and Detroit will be apt to
deaden his team if he is not there to
brace the club.
Larry Gardeners presence on the Red
Sox team iniects life and confidence IN
the team. With Larry out of the game,
it is the same old story, the Red Sox
sink into a slump.
Garry Hermann, chairman of the ma
tional commission since the settlement OF
the National American league war, is sit

of Hermann being ousted before, but it

after the settlement of the Federal
league war 1t is said by good author
ity that a good man is groomed for the
position. 1t is thought that the national
commission can be bolstered by represen.
tation from players and minor leagues
Dave Fultz believes that the time IS ripe
now, when the players should have
representative on this commission and
that it is no more than right that a
PLAYER should be represented on the gov
erninp BODY of the sport. Fultz goes IS
far AS to say that the players in the
league to-day are not getting the price
with the exception of some cases; that
there is one player in the American
league this year, who is pulling down
salary of only 5000, and that the fans
would be surprised if they knew the
team he was playing on.
