A New Place for order,ies.

There is evidence that life in tho army has it's humorous side even in war time. In a story that recently went the rounds of the English press. a newly appointed officer who was making his first visit to the mess, with the usual inquiry of "any complalnts?" arrived at one mess somewhat earlier than he was expected, and the or,ler-t ly of the day, being taken by surprise.& and in his shirt sleeves, dived under'S the table to save a reprimand.
 Any complaints?" asked the off, cer.
 The corporal, grasping the situation at once, answered for the absent or derly.
 "None, sir"
 "Who is this?" asked the officer, sud denly catching sight of the orderly un- der the table.
 The corporal again rose to the situa- tion.
 Orderly of the day, sir" he an- swered.
 "oh, said the officer. and passed on.
 The next mess were quite prepared, with the orderly. spick and span, standing at attention at the head of the table.
 Any complaints?"
 ''None. sir" answered the orderly
 The officer looked him well over.
 And who are you?' he asked.
 Orderly of the day. sir"
 "Then why the dickens aren't you under the table?" was the unexpected retOrt.

When the ball players begin to talk about the enormous profits made by the magaates ard demand larger cut of these profits than they may happen to be getting at the moment, they over look one rery important item.
 This is the enormous amount that must be charged to depression each season. There probably is no other business in which this item is propor- tionately so large, unless perhaps it is the munitions-making game, in which an explosion is likely to blow the plant right off the map at any moment.
 Must Keep Building.
 It is, of course, among the players that the depreciation takes place. On the buildings and grounds the rate is just about normal, but the athletes have to be renewed often and hardly one comes into possession of a big league club without considerable ex- pense being involved in his acquisi- tion.
 Just to cite an example of how fast a ball clubs personnel charges, take the roster of the Tigers at the begin ming of the 1915 season. There is picture hanging in President Navin's office that was taken opening day, two years ago. Twenty-eight men are in the group.
 Manager Jennings and Coach Jimmy Burke may be listed as noncombatants, which leaves only 26 active players.

GAMBLING HITS GAME
Handbooks Are More Numerous
 Than at Race Track.
Baseball Writer Says Worst Blow In Years Has Failen-Betting Rolls Up to Immense Totai-Up-
 rising Result

sIt would seem that baseball has sufficient troubles with the war and other influences working against it; but the worst blow in years has fall en-" says Hugh Fullerton. That dan ger Is the gamblers.
 "There is doubt in my mind," Full lerton says, If there ever was time in Chicagos history when the hand booking on racing was as extensive as Is the booking on baseball games to- day. Much more money was bet on races, but this betting rolls up to an immense total, so great, in fact, that one man I know, who operates on a moderate scale, told me he handles nearly S7,000 a week.
 Until last season the gamblers in Chicago were content to work down. town in saloons, cigar stores and pool rooms. Last year they invaded the ball parks, especially the Cub park, and this year there is a well-defned betting section, where the gamblers congregate and draw betters.
 ''In Boston this evil has existed ever since the sport started. It has been a recognized industry The gamblers are known, and the fact that they have powerful political backing also is known-which may account for the fact that the loud promises to wipe them out never have been executed.
 ''So strong is the Boston gambling fr;O of outsider, who attempted to operate there. was ordered out of town by po- litical powers. not because he was a gambler but because the rival gam blers insisted upon it. He is operating In another city now, and Is doing a tremendous business.
 'In Pittsburgh there has been an- other hotbed of gamblers. which is in the grandstands. and which goes on almost unmolested. In Cleveland gam bling became rampant last year. In Detroit the profession found one of the best fields because of the disor- ganized condition of the entire city, especially the police force. The gam blers have not worked so openly In the stands, but they are accommodating their crowds in two sections at pres ent.
 "Such conditions are certain to re- suit in uprisings such as took place in Boston. They are even more certain to result eventually in the corruption of players.
 "Queerly, the powers that rule base ball have thought the best remedy for this gambling evil is whitewash-on which it thrives. Baseball and gam bling cannot prosper side by side, whether in partnership or not-and when gambling. backed by politics comes in, good night"

RECORD TO DERRILL PRATT
pelled to Drop Out on Account of Sprained Wrist.

Derrill Pratt, the second baseman of the Browns, is the real holder of major league records for continuous service. A check of games by a St. Louis sta tistician shows that when he was con- pelled to drop out on April 30 because of sprained wrist, he missed his first game after playing 3e0 contests. Pratt began his long stand with the Browns on September ?, 1914, when he resumed play after a layoff due to an injury to his side. From that date to the close of the season he was in 30 games. In

 STORIES

Waite Hoyt continues to pitch good ball for Montreal.
 We'll say this for Ty Cobb, he shows no signs of abdicating his bat ting crown.
 Norman, the former White Sox pitch er has been turned over to Des Moines by Wichita.
 On really hot day it is better to as- sociate with an electric fan than with a baseball fan.
 Outfelder Dan Costello, former Pi- rate and International leaguer, has joined Kansas City.
 Although it is not generally known, the Reds had Fred Schupp of the Giants, but let him go.
 Middleton, the pitcher released by the Giants to Louisville, was consid- cred the best minor league hurler last fall.
 Joe Myers, the Notre Dame colle- gian, did not last long with Columbus He proved weak hitter, and was re- leased after a weeks trial.
 
 Ralph Miller of the Waterloo Gen. tral association club, who has been shared by the Chicago Cubs, is said to be another Zimmerman"
 The New York Yankees grabbed one player from the disbanding Northwest ern league. He is Elmer Leifer, pitch er-outfielder of the Butte team.
 Pitcher Peter Moore, the Ohio col legian sent by the St. Louis Browns to Omaha, managed to pitch in part of one game and was then chased.
 
 It is said to upset Walter Johnson when he strikes a batsman with a pitched ball. Probably, however, the batsman feels just as bad about it.
 Wheeler Fuller, who pitched for Lawrence few years ago in the New England league. has been signed by Manager Flynn of the Lawrence team.
  It has been many day since an um- pire was banned so hard all along the line as has been Lord Byron this sea- son. Looks as if the National League arbitrator has been chucked in among the goats.
 The record time for game in the National league this season was made by Phillies and Reds on July 16 when the contest was reeled oil in an hour and II minutes. Began and Alexander were at their best and there was nc uDe waiting them out.

Of this number only 12 remain on the Detroit muster rolls. Counting Hughey and Jimmy, the squad now boasts only half of those 2S men that it had in the spring of 1915.
 List of Missing
 Here is the list of those who have gone: Dubuc, Baker, Peters, Ledbet- ter, Jacobson, Cavet, Boehler, Smith, son, Reynolds, Karr, Oldham, Mortar ity, Kavanagh and Fuller. Of this num- Der only three really earned their full salaries as Tigers. Dubuc rendered several seasons of good service and Moriarity was valued member of the club from 1909 to 1915. Kavanagh put in two seasons in which he did good work and part of another in which he did nothing worth while.
 Baker was carried for some time and caught a few good games. but when the club comes to balance up with him 1t will be found that he received enor- nous pay-according to the piece scale for everything he ever did. Peters, Ledbetter, Jacobson, Smithson and karr were practically of no value to the Tigers. although each cost money to buy, to say nothing of expenses in- cured on training trip.
 Jacobson was carried whole season so that Jennings could always have reliable man on the bench when he wanted somebody to go up and strike out.
