CROKER'S CURVES PUZZLE

Catholic University had to go three
innings more than the regular distance
today in order to take a 4-to-3 game
good brand of base ball to the large
crowd, and the work OF the opposing
pitchers especially was Of a high order
throughout. Charley Croker made his
initial appearance this season in the
box for G. Y. and pitched a fine game.
He also made the hit, in the eleventh
inning, which scored Rogers and tied
the score. Schmidiger went the entire
distance for Rock Hill and kept the
hits of the Brooklanders we'll scat
tered.
c. L. started the game with an entire

Greer and McCue. This last-named
player turned in the big hitting total
for the day, getting four hits in six
trips to the plate.
Visitors Start Well.
Rock Hill started the game by scor-
ing run in the first inning. C. L. also
scored in it's half of this inning. Rock
Hill scored again in the second, but C..
L. evened up matters in the third. From
this time until the eleventh inning
neither side scored. In this frame Rock

its half, had two men out when Rogers
drew pass and stole second. Croker

Is Proposed by Senator Smith
in Amendment to the Army
Bill.
HIS AIM is TO FITTHEM
FOR WORK IN AFTER LIFE
Provides That Regular Officers Shall
Be Assisted by the Necessary
Civilian Teachers.

Voca tional education for the enlisted
men of the regular army. so that when
they return to civil life they will be
fitted to make success, is the object
of an amendment which has been Of
fered by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia
to the army bill pending before the
Senate. 1t provides for ninety hours
a month of instruction for the men.
The regular army officers. under the
amendment. will be assisted by civilian
teachers where it may be necessary.
as it feasible? Surely no one will
question the value of such instruction
If 1t is feasible and practicable" said
Senator Smith, advocating the adoption
of the amendment last night.
The enlisted men in the army do not
have enough to occupy their time. Their
military instruction occupies perhaps
FIVE hours a day" continued Senator
Smith. The four hours a day for edu
cational purposes could well be added
to their day. Young men who have
left the army have told me again and
again that they do not have enough 10

peace. They said that they could not
stand the strain of doing nothing.

not new. 1t has been suggested by
others and has been tried successfully
In Germany every man has to have a
vocation. and there is universal mill
tary training. 1t is not necessary,
therefore. to include the vocational edu-
cation in the comparatively brief time
that the men are with the colors. But
in Great Britain and in France the ex-
pertinent has been tried of giving the
are with the colors and has proved
beneficial.
What is more. the plan has been
tried here in this country. in the coast
artillery. and is proving successful.
Why not make it universal SO far as
the regular armv is concerned? 1t
would send out from the army every
year thousands of young men who
have not only the benefit of a military
training. but also educated along vo-
cational lines and able to take good
jobs and hold them down.
Il am convinced that it would be
great aid to enlistment If the men
knew that at the same time they were
serving their country as soldiers they
would be taught trade
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood has given
his approval to plan for vocational
education for the enlisted men. He has
pointed out that what this country
needs is not an army of men who re-
main In 1t permanently. except officers
and non-commissioned officers. but that
it should be in the nature Of a great
military training organization, con-
stantly giving back to society men OF
military efficiency against the days of
emergency. II the men at the same time
can be turned back into the ranks of
civil life trained in some vocation, SO
much the better for the men and for
society.

Practice of the Coast Artillery.

The coast artillery put such a plan
into practice January /, 1915 The or
der of the chief of staff to the coast
artillery is of considerable interest in
this connection. 1t was as follows:
During the indoor season the artil-
lery instruction period will be one and
one-half hours. The remaining two
hours of the daily instruction period
will be devoted to courses in vocation
al instruction under the initiative, di-
rection and control of coast defense
commanders. AS many separate voca-
tonal courses will be inaugurated and
conducted may be possible. utilizing
commissioned officers as supervisors of
such courses, and the artillery non
commissioned STAFF officers, enlisted
specialists and rated men as instruc-
tors. Attendance upon these courses
Will be optional with the enlisted men.
Those enlisted men not engaged in
these courses will be assigned to DO
lice or other work about the post dur
Ing the instruction period. Among the
courses that may be given are those in
telephony. care and operation of com
bustion and steam engines, surveying
wire and radio telegraphy, firing and
care or boilers. electric wiring type-
writing. bookkeeping and stenography.
These subjects are to be considered az
merely suggestive. and it is not intend
ed to exclude other vocational subjects
which may suggest themselves to coast
defense commanders In 80 far as prac-
ticable the installed coast artillery
material may be utilized in connection
with this instruction"
Senator Smith said that already he
had found other senators much inter
ested in the plan. He hopes that when
the time comes for a vote on bjs
amendment it Will be adopted

claim to membership is based upon
his book The Loyalists in London
which was published some two years
ago. At the. time of it's publication
the book received some favorable
comment but did not attract wide at
tention. Early last August the Hart

secured exclusive rights to the manu-
script and published it in the form of
a serial which ran for Ave months
Almost Immediately there was an
awakening of interest throughout the

Come Across for Failure to Stand
by Contract Selling Farm,
Says Judge Miller.

Judge Miller of Celina rendered
his decision in the case of Ralph
Mills versus Preston Bradshaw, on
Thursday afternoon before returning
home, allowing the plaintiff 500 da-
IMAGES for failure of the defendant to
perform a contract which had been
agreed to.
1t seems that early in 1914 Brad
shaw had agreed to deliver a deed for
his farm to Miles, having Miles OF
take over a 300 mortgage on the
farm and allow Bradshaw a mort
gge of the remainder of $4,000,
which Miles was to pay for the farm.
Each agreed to those terms and on
March / of that year they were to
get together and make the formal
transfer. If either were to back out
of the deal he was to pay the other
500.
1t happened that March 1 fell on
Sunday and on the following day
Bradshaw testified that he looked for
Miles an dMiles testified that he look

Bradshaw sold his farm to an uncle
and then he went to Miles and told
him that the farm avs sold Miles

The new Fish Hatchery will be To-
Gated Immediately in the rear Of T.

near Lake St. Marys Bulkhead.
The decision is final; based on ia
vorable conditions.
! The announcement was made, on
! Monday, by Dr. j. W. Kirgan, Chair
man Of the Fish and Game Division,
who with other state authorities
made a personal visit with members
| Of the Western Ohio Fish and Game
Association to the various proposed
sites.
The location is declared one OF the
best in the state. For a minimum ex-
penditure a first rate hatchery is as
sured.
Work will begin as soon as the en-
gineers make survey and will be
finished complete this season. The
plant is to be approximately fifty feet
in width and six hundred to eight
hundred feet in length. Buildings
viii include a dwelling house for a
resident superintendent and his help
Appropriation for a mammoth diL-
per dredge will I've available in July
1916. Work on the dredge may pro-
ceed somewhat in advance of the date
mentioned. The unit is to be installed
on Lake St. Marys to dredge channels
east and west and laterals north and
south reaching public landings and
making safe navigation of motor
boats of deepest draft.
An hydraulic attachment will later
be installed on the dredge. By this
means soil will be transferred from
the floor of Lake st. Marys over and
across the east bank to fill that por-
ton of the barrow pits not needed
for the Fish Hatchery.
That Lake st. Marys is destined to
become the greatest of the States in
land waterways was freely predicted
by the eminent visitors.
One hundred cottage sites are sur
veyed on the East Bank to be leased
by the State for summer residences.
Five hundred dollars is the minimum
priced cottage allowed to be erected

An abundance of the best drink
