FOOTBALL is IDEAL
SPORT FOR WARTIME
Great Training for Men Prepsnas
to Go Over, Over There.

New York, June ea-In the 1nori 70
secure the best form Of sport edapt-
able both 70 trimming fightinf men and
to furnishing them with the most ats.
tractive form Of recreafIo1. football
has been prominently put forward oy
supporters. including many army
men. One former regular army cfncer
has offered an urgent suggestion
that the great Americas coIieEIate
fan sport be ofhciaIiy recognized and
adopted by Uncle sam, and that Il
be taught a. part Of the tralnlng
course IN DEVELOPING the forces now
IN the making for the great con-
fict in which this country H no~'
entered.
The average student Of the great
game as Il has Developed in this coun-
try. who also happens TO have studied
the game Of war. VIII declare without
moments consideration that foot
ball is not only the best known rep
resentation IN miniature Of the game
Of warfare. but that Il follows out IN
detail IN It's scheme Of operation every
principle and movement Of the war
game Certainly u aims 20 co-ordl-
nate the mental and physical activi~
ties 20 produce the highest efncicncy
In the art OF breaking down obstacles.
and that IL at least the theory Of the
war sport Also IL offers, a. does no
other sport, an exsmple Of fhe value
Of organization and united cnort N.
accom- mplishing results sought
Football creates and develops the
habit OF unfalteringiy and Instantly
obeying the initiative given By a COM
msnd. when the person trained IL In
Immediate contact with the maximum
Of opposition, whether the same be
offensive Sr defensive, and IN this
way fortifes the mentality IN obeyinE,
orders at the moment when direct
results may occur. Any military man
understands the value Of this knd Of
training. Il is desirable 10 have the
subconsciousness Of a soldier trained
from every practical angle along this
line. and football offers mental train
ing under combat conditions and under
an environment where maximum en-
erEies are strained. More than any
other known form Of physical train
ing. football compels the individual 10
realize his individual capacity as part
Of a larger unit
There Is hardly a standard military
work that somewhere IN fts treatment
Of fundamentals does not hold foot
ball work as the IDEAL Conception for
men who wish 70 properly appreciate
the work Of an individual a. part Of

Smoke Ball" King Helps Nationals
Trim Athletics IN First Game.

Philadelphia. Pa, June 2S.-In a bat
tie OF Johnsons here today the Wash
inxton team won the first engagement
of the series. to 3
There was little to choose in the
curving in the local favorite and his
distinguished opponent. Nine hits was
the toll off each flipper and both
looked good oftener than they looked
bad.
Jing didn't have the juice to go the
route. He looked a winner up to the
seventh and then ran out Of stuff.
He was wabbly In both the eighth and
ninth, and the Nationals acquired suf-
ficient runs to skin through.
Walter is still the champion OF the
house Of Johnson Jing fought good
fight but lost.
Strunk and Bates nudged Walter for
singles In the first inning which 50

washington shook Jing for its first
run In the fifth. With one out, Scout

legiate single to right. Ainsmith, who
coaches himself while at bat singled
10 center. the popular Menoskey
shaking a leg and scoring. Muir
ray took third on the swat Jing
rfghted himself by tanning Walter,
while Bates tossed out Judge.
The Athletics thought they won in
the sixth when they scored three runs.
Bates dashed a single to left. Nc
Innis bounced one high in the air to
Leonard and easily beat 1t out. Leon
ards throw to first was wild, and
Bates ran to third and Stuffy to sec
ond-
Walter knocked down Col. Lee
Gooch's fiery drive and recovered the
ball In time to pinch Lee at first, but
Bates was able to score. Schang was
delegated to bat for Haley and struck
out. Grover walked and stole second.
Jing delivered q telling blow. He
sneaked a single past Shanks. McInnis
and Grover flying to the plate; Witt
popped to shanks. That ended the
Mack offensive for the day.
The District Of Columbia chaps tied
the numbers IN the eighth. Jing
walked Judge and Shanks singled. So
did Milan, Judge scoring and Shanks
taking third.
strunk lined his stern to the crowd
and made an audacious catch of Rice's
lengthy liner. 1t was a sacrifice, any
way, Shanks scoring.
Washington won in the ninth. One
out, Ainsmith singled and stole. Wal
ter famed. but Judge singled and Ain
smith conveyed the winning marker to
the rubber. In Macks last stand, Bill
Johnson entered the Johnson feud.
One out, he batted for Jing. and was
spared by Murray's error. Witt cut
single to left and the drive stopped.
strunk famed and Bodie forced Witt.
Ainsmith's bat figured greatly in
the victory. His single in the fifth
drove the first Washington run home.
In the ninth he singled. and a minute
or two later scored the winning run
on Judges bingle. The score:

In Clark Grifith's absence. the Ma
tionals are bossed by Lieut. Com
