SECOND TRAINING CAMP
WILL OPEN AUGUST Is
Men Between the Ages of 81 and A
in Great Demand-To Officers
Conscripts.

A second series Of officers train
ing camps will be begun August ~
No applications for these will be con
sidered later than July 10. South
Carolina is allowed a quota OF zoo
men for the second camp for TINS
district which will be held at Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga. The War Depart
ment is anxious to have men be-
tween the ages of thirty-one and
forty-four years in this camp, though
many younger men will, of course,
be accepted, and all eligible men are
urged to apply at once.
First Lietenant, H. T. Pillans,
coast artillery corps, U. S. A., is the
examining officer for South Caro-
lima and applicants should address
him at the Citadel, Charleston, S. G:
Application blnaks will be sent to all
men requesting them, and also a
memorandum of information setting
forth full instructions and informa-
ton regarding the camp, the pay,
etc.
Accepted men will receive trans
p~ortation to and from the camp, sub
s%istence while there and pay of $500
during the three months of training.
1t is Important that interested men
apply without delay as the time limit
for applications is July Is.
1t is believed that the poor show
ing is the result of a lack of under.
standing on the part of the public of
the purpose of the camps, the
chances offered, and the method of
procedure to apply for admission to
the camps, and not due to any lack
of patriotism. South Carolina will
not admit, and should not admit,
that it is less patriotic than any
other state in the Union. The sub
mission of any application to attend
these camps is a patriotic act. All
red-blooded men with proper qualif-
cations should show their patriotism
by submitting their applications at
once.
To provide officers for the drafted
forces of the National Army, the
War Department has adopted the
policy of commissioning all new Of
fcers of the line Infantry, Caval-
~, Field and Coast Artillery pure
~ on the basis of demonstrated abil-
ity after three months observation
and training in the Officers Train
ing Camps. Thus, the appointment

made entirely on merit and free
from all personal or other influences.
AS an emergency measure to pro-
vide officers for the first 100000
drafted troops the War Department
has put in operation sixteen Officers
Training Camps with a total attend
ance of about 100000. These l6
camps correspond to the territorial
divisions in which it is planned to
raise troops under the Draft Act of
May 10, 1917. These camps, which
began May Is, 1917, are expected
to provide line offices we'll qualified
as to character and training and
sufficient for the first increment of
100000, with a reserve for that in
crement.
Following the policy of commits.
sioning officers on demonstrated
worth, it is intended that, after the
first increment of SOC, 900 has been
organized, officers will be obtained
by promoting officers and men al
in the Regular Army, National
Guard, and drafted forces, thus CIV
ing to those who have volunteered
or have been drafted for military
service full opportunity to earn pro-
motion to the exclusion of those not
in actual military service.
The period devoted to the organi-
cation of the first 100000 must
therefore be devoted to training and
selecting officers for the second $780,
900 to supplement those promoted
from troops in service.
To meet this situation a second
series of Officers Training Camps
will be held beginning August 27,
1917, with the definite mission of
producing a body of line officers
Infantry, Cavalry, Field and Coast
in the grades above lieutenant and
many of the places in the grade of
l~ieutenants in the second 100000
troops.
The training camps to be estab-
lished for this purpose will afford
those not in the military service, or
drafted in the future, the last OPP
portunity to become officers. Also,
in connection with these camps it is
to be noted that mature and expert
enced men are needed to fill the
higher grades first lieutenant, cap
tain, major, and a few lieutenant
colonels) In the second 100000.
The date for all camps is August
9th to November 26, 1917, and
successful applicants from this State
will be sent to Fl O%glethorpe, Ga.
The maximum age limit for appli-
cants, except those noted in the spe-
cial classes on the memorandum Of
information which is sent to all those
requesting application blanks, is

f~orty-four years. In the excepted
cases referred to, 1t is fifty years.
The minimum age limit for all ap-
plicants is twenty years and nine
nine months. However, in order to
obtain the experienced class of men
desired preference will be given to
men over 81 years of age other
things being equal. Because of the
anticipated large number of applica-
tons, it will probably be difficult
for men under that age to qualify
except in instances where the appli-
cant has pre-eminent qualifications
or unusual militay experience. This
applies to the training camps des-
cribed herein.
Men who applied for the first Sc
ries of camps must reapply whether
or not certified assuitable for the
first camps. Right to enter camp, if
selected, is not affected by the fact
that applicant is RATED before or af-
ter camp begins. .
All accepted applicants are urged
however, to provide heir own uni
forms in advance as follows:
l hat, service.
l coat, service, olive drab.

2 shirts, flannel, olive drab.
2 breeches, service, olive drab.
l pair leggins, canvas.
l pair shoes, marching.
The Government will provide all
necessary arms and equipment, and
the necessary drill regulations and
other publications used in the course
will be issued to accepted applicants
in the camps.

INTERESTING GOLF NOTES
FROM THE LOCAL CLT1Rc

Golf at all the local clubs has been
temporarily suspended pending the de-
parture of the snow. Professionals at
the clubs about Washington reported
scarcely any play on the snow covered
courses during the past week. At
Chevy Chase three OF the members
have been out playing with the visible
red ball. and at Columbia Lieut.. Train
and Owen johnson trudged around the
whitened course. but aside from these
two courses the snow on the links
about the Capital city remains UNI
tracked. Prospects Tor play before
Christmas do not appear of the best.
and 1t Is very probable that the An.

titions held at four OF the local clubs
will have to be dispensed with en-

TO BOYCOTT CARDINALS
IF CLUB SELLS HORNSbY
st. Louis Fans Sign Petition Warn
ing Hickey Not to Let Star
Shortstop Go.

ST. LOUIS. December 1.-THE pur-
chase of Grover Cleveland Alexander
and Bill Killefer by Charles Weeghman
has opened the eyes of the ST. Louis
fans. and petition is in circulation
here informing President Hickey of
the st. Louis National League club
that If Rogers Hornsby is sold to the
Cubs many payee customers will be
missing next summer.
The lead of the petition reads:
1--WE. the undersigned, wish to inform
YOU that If you sell Rogers Hornsby to
the Cubs for cash we will not attend
single game next summer"
far $4,000 names have been secured.
and they expect to reach $4,000.
Hornsby is the idol Of the st. Louis
rams. He has created greater sensa-
ton here in the last two years than
Theodore Breinstein, Rube Waddell,
Bobby Wallace. George Stone. Lou Cri-
ger and Del Pratt ever made during
their palmy days. His wonderful hit
ting has done much to keep the Cards
in the hunt for the last two years. and
that he is the greatest prize the club
holds Is manifested by the petition
which has been sent to Hickey.
Hornsby has taken every advantage
OF this popularity to boost his salary.
for before he left for his home in
Texas he said that he would not play
with the Cards for 1918 unless he was
given contract calling for $4,000 per
year-s pretty big figure for lad Just
turning his twenty-first birthday.
Last year Hornsby held out for a
$4,000 contract when the club offered
him $4,000, but he signed when a com
promise was made. which was said to
net Rogers $4,000 for the season.
During the past season Hornsby hit
Tor 1877, finishing second in the Ma
tional League race. and had a feldine
average of .93S.

From the start Alex startled and de-
lighted Philadelphians by his wonderful

he turned in twenty-nine victories against
fourteen defeats. He never had a year In
which he had his losses exceed his VIC
tories, and during 1915, when the Phils
dumfounded the base ball world by win
ming their first championship. Alex won
thirty-one' games and lost but ten.
No wonder Chicago fans are rejoicing
over his acquisition today
Killefer Staged a Comeback.
1t did not take Bill Killefer long TO
convince fans that he was a sincere
comeback He was obtained by the
Pills in 1911 from the Buffalo (then
Eastern League) club, and, although
having the stigma against his name of
having been sent back to the bushes by
the st. Louis National League club in
1910, Bill made good from the start for
the Quakers. They bought him late In
the 1911 season and he did not get
chance to show his true worth until
1912, when he caught 100 games and
established himself as the leading
catcher on the club.
From then on Killifer ranked with
the best Of them. Always a steady and
reliable catcher, he developed into a
remarkable thrower and consistent hit
ter, batting for .2T4 this year. his high
est mark. besides catching in 100 games.
In a recent interview Pat Moran was
given credit for saying that he con-
sidered Killefer the equal to any of the
great backstops Of the past and fully
as good as Ray Schalk of the White
Sox, the best catcher in the American
League.
Killefer was born In Paw Paw, Mich.
April 10, 1885, and is therefore APP
preaching his thirty-second year.

the seven years and Killefers achieve
