 Maurice Mclaughlin, the former ten his champion, will leave California next week for Chicago, where he will join Ward Dawson, his partner in doubles. They will compete in the national tournament at Forest Hills, N. Y.
 The Yankees are having so much trouble recalling players farmed to minor league clubs that it is likely these teams will be turned down when they ask for players -cxt season. The Yankees. are so hard up that they have to use a pitcher in the outfield yet the minor managers who have received many favors in the past won't come to Bill Donovan's assistance.
 The Bridgeport club won't be home until Sunday, when two games will be played with the Springfield club, the first starting at p. m. Marty Walsh, who blanked the slugging Green Sox last Monday, will oppose them in one game and Mulrennan will probably work in the other.
 It will be strange if some big league scout doesn't grab Pitcher Pennington of Lawrence. This youngster has been pitching remarkable ball this year.. Yesterday he blanked Hartford, allow ing the Senators four hits.

U. s. TO HAVE GOOD FLYERS
War Department Finds This Nation
Far Behind Europe's Military
Aviation Efficiency.

Washington.-Plans for the develop
ment of military aviation under the
army appropriation act have been
worked out by the war department
and are now being put in operation.
The scope Of the plans, as indicated by
army officers, furnishes striking proof
of q determination to approximate at
least the efficiency of the famous
French Aviation corps.
From 1911 until March 81, 1915, only
100000 was appropriated for avia-
ton in the army. This amount does
not include the purchase price Of the
first Wright machine, but represents
annual appropriations of 100000 to
$25O,OOO for the entire service.
For the present fiscal year the war
department has $13, 231 1866 for avia-
ton. In previous years there was no
money or very little available for pur-
chase of machines or development of
motors. The development Of military
aeroplanes progressed slowly. The
previous appropriations were expend-
ed in the training of officers for the
service.
Under the new law the aviation
corps is to have the following officers /:
One colonel, one lieutenant colonel,
eight majors, "a captains and la first
lieutenants. With this staff of officers
to direct the training of military avia-
tors, to develop machines and to han
die the administrative features, the
United States takes log stride for
ward.
Just as France has selected for her
flying corps the men best adapted to
this work, the United States now has
a policy which is expected to put eff
ficiency into the service. This policy
is of voluntary service in the aviation
section. No army officer can be de-
tailed unless he has made formal appli-
cation of his desire for this kind of
work. In addition, the department re-
quires of officers in the corps college
education or its equivalent.
The department has Is machines
and two hydroplanes at San Diego; IL
at Columbus, N. NJ, including a twin
tractor battle plane; four hydroplanes
at Manila, two aerOplanes at San An
tonic, four at Mineola, N. Y, and four
at Chicago. There are now nearing
completion IL machines for a new
squadron of flyers at San Diego and
, five new twin tractors.

porting, and to assist the efforts of the
prisoners, or colonistS, the government
has set aside a strip Of shore, and for
three miles off shore only the colonists
are permitted to fish. The main object
of the prison system is educational,
and we strive always to fit the men
for life outside prison walls. Indeed,
every prisoner with more than year
to serve must learn a trade, and in the
selection Of it we are guided first by
the wishes of the men and then by
what their life on the outside has fit
ted them for. 1t must be understood
that the people there do not view 60
ing to prison as we do here.
Prisoners Go by Ranks.
"The prisoners have to earn the
right to 60 to the colony and most of
them are spurred on by this ambition.
A first-class prisoner in Bilibid be-
comes fourth-class prisoner in Iva
hig, which means that, having won the
right to enter the colony, he must
then earn the right to first rank in the
colony. After a year he may send for
his family, or If single he may marry.
Should he elect to follow agricultural
pursuits he receives twelve and half
acres to cultivate. The Government
the necessary implements and seeds,
builds him house in which to live,
and assigns an instructor to teach
him. Also he can deal at the COOP
erative store. The only condition i'm
posed Is that he must share with the
Government half and half until it is
reimbursed for the goods furnished
to him. The officials see that he has
a market for his produce. There, on
his own farm, he can settle down to
self-respecting work and his children
have opportunity for education and to
learn useful trades.
1.-THE entire colony Is managed by
the colonists. They have their own
court, their own police, and their own
lighting and water systems. Indeed,
it might be said that the colony en-
joys every modern advantage. Those
who do not take up land have other
employment. They work in the pow
er houses or in the workshops or in
some other line of activity. We have
a great plant there, and there is work
for ALL"
DR.. Dade exhibited with pride some
samples from the prison workshop,
and he said that foreign houses main
tain buyers in Manila especially to
take the products of the prisoners.

U. s. Best at Bomb Throwing.

Port Royal, s. C.-Americans are
latently the best bomb and grenade
throwers in the world and are capable
of waging wonderful trench warfare in
case of hostilities. say United States
marine corps officers In charge of re-
cruit training at this place.
'The average American youth early
learns to throw a baseball with speed
and accuracy, and it is because of that
we as a nation are especially fitted to
wage the modern war Of the trenches.
Baseball is encouraged at all our sta
tons and the skill displayed by ma
rines-even unframed recruits-in the
bomb and grenade throwing practice is
really remarkable" said Drill Sergeant

REFORM PRISONS

DR.. Waller Dade Says Men Are

Penal Colonies Are Self Governed and
First Class Prisoners May Live

Model Farm at IwahIq.

New York.-Dr. Waller II. Dade, d.
rector of the bureau Of prisons in the
Philippines, was in this city recently
on his way to attend the American
Prison congress which was held in
Buffalo. He has under his jurisdic-
ton the Bilibid prison, at which many
of the methods of prison reform put
into operation by Warden Thomas
Mott Osborne Of Sing Sing prison are
In successful operation; where the
prisoner-police are armed and where
the honor system is highly developed.
Besides, he has charge Of the great
lwahig penal colony, where the pris-
oners follow agricultural pursuits I'M

they live with their wives in their
own houses and raise and educate
their children and where many elect
to remain even after the term of their
Imprisonment has expired.
Doctor Dade left the Philippines on
July and came to San Francisco on
the United States transport Buford.
Before he left Bilibid the prisoners
turned out to wish him godspeed, the
prison band serenaded him and the
men in the workshops presented him
with two carved silver-topped canes
and gold watch and chain.
Prison Well Located.
Through the bureau Of prisons the
government has established a uniform

in the Philippines" he said. "All are
controlled through headquarters at
Bilibid. The great prison colony at

the department is establishment of
