LEM: SURVEY OF BUSINESS JOBS
FOR EX.S0LDIERS

In connection with the card index
ing of the soldiers, some of the EN-
pire's greatest organizers are max
ing a survey of factories, wholesale
rouses, shipyards and all business re-
quiring labor. The number of men
needed for each will be accurately
charted and when the time comes, the
ex-soldier will be offered immediate
employment.
How well England is anticipating
the future can only be conjectured,
for very few persons know theextent
of the plans. But a good indication
of how determined the effort is, was
shown in the communicating of the
national Liberal club building. The an
nouncement of this act On the part OF
the government came like bolt from
clear sky to the club members. They
protested Indignantly until the presi-
dent of the club explained the reason,
that England wanted their premises
to care for the future of the men who
were facing death in France. The
professors left the building after a
patriotic demonstration. The tradi-
tlons Of years were to be thrown over
board to make room for the salvag-
ing Of England's trade.

Brooklyn and there never was more
sensational Sc comeback than he has
shown the Brooklyn fans. Quite a
nice little thing for his declining days
will be his slice at the worlds series

Mowrey, wayward though he was, is
hack with the gang. He never had a
chance at worlds series money before
but he's ready to take pocketful this
year after having been dropped by st.
Louis and Pittsburg. Mike is quite
a discard, they claim in Brooklyn.
In Boston Jack Barry is going t.
hold the distinction this year of being
the only player who ever took rart ir
six worlds series. Jack was sold by
Connie Mack back in 1915 and had a
split in the receipts Of the last big
games. He was a big factor in win

with the old Athletics.
Jimmy Walsh is also going to taste
the fruits of being transferred from
the Athletics. Walsh now is drawin"

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Another
bunch Of castoffs are getting their
faces ready for loud, hearty laugh
at the casteroff.
Fred Merkle, Chief Meyers and
Rube Marquard are going to have the
chuckle of their lives when the worlds
series is over and they have time to
think how they were kicked off team
they had helped win several National
league championships. Aiding them
in their outlaws will be Mike Now
rey, Larry Cheney and Jack Coombs.
Every one of these players were ad-
judged "done" some time ago. The
props were knocked from under Mey-
ers and Marquard by John McGraw in
1915. Meyers finished the season
with the Giants, but Rube drifted to
Robinson at the waiver price while
the 1915 Giants still were struggling
toward a lamentable finish.
"Had to break up the old team" p"
said McGraw when he traded Merkle
for Lew McCarty last August. Fred
is going to get some more of that
worlds series dough when the Dod-
gers and Red Sox finish.

WEST SUPREME FOR
YEAR ATHLETIC
EVENTS
(By United Pless.)

NEW YORK, Oct. Q.-The wild and
wooly west has pried the crown Of
athletic supremacy from the classic
brow of the east and slapped it upon
it's own tanned forehead.
In the whole athletic realm there
isn't an event in which westerners
haven't put their intrusive fingers with
an air of championship, with the ex-
ception of those games which the wes-
terners cannot reach.
Here is a table of championships
which may prove interesting.
Heavyweight pugilistic champion,
Jess Willard of Kansas.
Featherweight champion, Johnny
Kilbane of Ohio.
Bantamweight champion, Young Err
tie of Minnesota. (Claimed)'
Light heavyweight champion, Jack
Dillon of Indiana.
All around athletic champion, Fred
Kelly of California.
Swimming champion, Ludy LANCER
of California.
: American League batting champion,
iris Speaker of Texas.
National League batting champion,
Fal Chase of California
Amateur and open golf champion,
Charles Evans of Chicago.
National Leagues premier pitcher,
Alexander Of Nebraska.
Wrestling champion, Joe Stecher of
Nebra ska.
Tennis doubles champions, Johnston
and Griffin of California.
The west didn't get it's fingers into
the worlds series pie, but sofe of the
most prominent members of each COM
peting teams are out west when they
are at home.
Jerome Travers and Francis Ouimet,
the casts two best golfers, have not
been seen in tournaments this year,
and, consequently were not of any help
ir saving honors for the east.
The recent A. A. U. field and track
meet at Newark brought some crack
athletes to the east from the west.
Among them were Ribert Simpson OF
Missouri and Fred S. Murray of Cal
Il ornia, two hurdlers whose equals
never have been seen. 1t also showed
Landers, the wonderful school boy
athlete from Illinois, who came within
an inch of tieing the A. A. U. recort
for the pole vault, and Arlie Mucks
the prodigious Wisconsin weight
thrower. These are just few of the
many athletes in the west whose re
cords show they are able to give {
good account of themselves in any con
tests. The athletes who went to thu
Scandinavian countries a short tim'
ago as representatives of America il
the games across the sea, were al
westerners with the exception of Tee
Meredith.

though peace is not yet in sight, Eng
land is already taking steps toward
slow and gradual rehabilitation of
her great army. An inkling of what
would happen should any great num-
her of fighting men be thrown ashore
on England's coast has been CLEANED
from the pranks of restless GONZALES
cents. 1t is stated on good authority
that arrangements have been made
to house the new army in northern
France for some tife after peace has
been declared, allowing only small
bodies of men to cross the channel
at a time.
AS the demobilized soldiers cross to
England, they will be disposed most
Systematically. In one of the largest
club buildings in England, comman-
deered for the express purpose, there
is being prepared a card index of ev-
cry soldier, showing his history, quail
ifications and business training. When
the army disbends, England expects
t. know exactly what human resources
she possesses and she is determined
to use these toward rebuilding her
world trade.

Brawley Is Winner.

Calexico, Dec. 1O.-In the presence
of well filled grandstand and with
many autos lined up along first base
line, rBawley broke Calexico's win
ming streak yesterday in feww plaved
game with many exciting moments.
Noticeable were the ability of Smith,
pitcher for' Brawley, and McMullen,
who succeeded Easter in the third for
Calexico, to pitch themselves out of
tight holes. With alright support,
the pitching of McMillen would have
deserved to win. Calexico staged a
batting rally in the seventh, but
Bragg being automatically out on his
Iinfield fly with the bases full, followed
BY Smiths striking out Ritter and
Kettler, ended Calexicos chances for
that innings. The game was called
lat the end Of the ighth inning by Um-
pire Finney on account of darkness.
