SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 9-Pau Vcrdicr, polo player and one of tho best known enthusiasts of the game in San Francisco, who is an officer ir the French army, at present at homo on leave for a brief period. has the following to say regarding the value of sport as an aid to the men in the trenches:
 Baseball is a sport that fits man for the grim work midst the mud and blood of the European trenches. \ great pitcher would be worth his weight in radium 10 the armies of the western front
 In reply to the question, "ls sport an effective preparation for war" he said:
 The training of an athlete proved valuable in the carly chapters of the war, when we were marching to and fro an average of 2 miles day, and, on occasion, had to tramp all night with 75 pounds oi equipment on our backs
 ''I believe the French and British armies survived this drastic ordeal that culminatcd in the battle of the Aiarnc, as well as they did, because of the high percentage of athletes in the ranks.
 During the last 20 years the youth of France have embraced sports with an enthusiasm that is perhaps scarcely realized in other countries, certainly not i'll America There arc hundreds
