LOCAL ENLIST MENT
TAKES A BIG SLUMP

While battered by the tropical
hurricane of last Friday, Pensacola
slumped in recruiting, and since t<
storm has evidently been too busy re-
pairing the damage to think about
war. But men are needed at once by
the army, and the local station IS
being urged by the state recruiting
officer to make every attempt to Sc
cure men Immediately.
Nearly every branch of the service
is open for enlistment and men can
choose from the following divisions:
infantry, field artillery. quartermas-
ter's corps of the national army,
medical department of the regular
army, highway and construction en-
gineers of the national army, negro
stevedores for national army, and
bakers and cooks in the quartermas-
ter's corps. Telegraph operators are
needed badly, and chauffeurs and au-
tomobile men may enlist in the med
ical department for driving and re-
pairing of motor ambulances.
After being closed for six months,
enlistment in the cavalry is author
lied.

IF VIOLATE TRAFFIC
LAWS CAPITAL CITY

Tallahassee, Fla, Oct. 3-(SpeciaD
AS the result of number of rather
serious automobile accidents recently
and the running down of more than
one pedestrian by cars, Mayor Dexter
M. Lowry has issued an open letter
to the members of the police depart
ment of Tallahassee demanding that
they arrest all who violate the traf-
fc laws and require both rear and
head lights on all cars that travel at
night. The mayor has decided to make
a determined effort to stop the reck-
less driving and cutting of traffic
pests on the local streets, and he
says he will terminate the practice
if he has to put some of the prom
inent automobile drivers to work on
the streets serving time.

SEISMOGRAPHS

pencils are attached to its arms
and legs so that their agitation
is registered in permanent form
which may be used as evidence
against the earthquake if it de
MES it happened
Whenever a seismOgraph be
gins to shiver and shake you can
depend on it Mother Earth is

Babies have spasms too, but
they don't need a seismograph

BALTIMORE HAS NO
CHANCE TO OBTAIN
WASHINGTON CLUB

That Baltimore has absolutely no
chance OF obtaining the Washington
American League franchise is the
announcement OF Joe Villa, a New
York sporting writer generally con-
sidered Ban Johnson's mouthpiece.
Villa says that. IL Washington ever
does lose its franchise, Toronto will
get IL. Here is what Villa writes:
whatever may be the fate OF the
Washington club, It can be said with
out fear OF contradiction that IL the
American League every decided to
abond the National Capital, the
franchise will not be shifted to Bal
timore.
There Is absolutely no truth IN the
yarn that as part OF an agreement
with the Baltimore Feds, in return
for the sudden dropping OF their
5000, 900 suit against organized base
ball, the Monumental City will OBJ
tain a franchise in either OF the
major leagues.
There is no room for Baltimore in
Governor Tener's circuit. while Ban
johnson never again will regard the
home OF the Orioles with favor. But IL
the American League pulls up its
stake in Washington at some remote
time, the franchise will be transfer
red to Toronto, the best paying city in
the International League.
There may be a sO-called third
major league composed OF the best
clubs in the International and Amer
lean Association in the field next sea-
son, in which case Baltimore may be
included. but even that is problem
atfcal"

COLUMBIA TENNIS
COMMITTEE CALLS
OFF TOURNAMENT

There will be no annual fell tennis
tournament at Columbia Country
Club.
A decision was reached recently by
the tennis committee at Columbia
Club to hold no tournament this year.
II will be the first time in seven years
that the tournament has gone by the
boards.
Conditions here do not warrant the
announcement OF the annual tourna-
ment, say members Of the commit
tee who have decided to sold a closed
club tournament on Labor Day in
place OF the regularly scheduled
event
The Columbia tournament was the
forerunner OF the annual District
tennis championship tournament
held at Dumbarton. There were
mems singles, mems doubles mixed
doubles, women's singles and doubles,
and the usual consultations.
As long as the policy OF the Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association has
placed the ban on tennis champion
ship events II Is thought that the
Dumbarton Club will call on the Dis
trict tournament held the last OF Sep

CICOTTE SHOWS
RETURN TO FORM AGAIN

Well, Eddie Cicotte has come back
again. The veteran Chicago hurler,
after being bumped by the Grifmen
and the Red Sox in their recent meet
ings, was thought to have gone back
materially, due to overwork. Not so.
Indeed not so.
In his last two games Cicotte has
shown all his old cunning, has
chalked up shut-out victories blank
ing both the Griffmen and the Yam
KEGS, and otherwise disported him
self on the mound with his accus-
toned skill.
The Red sox got to Clcotte for
three runs in the second inning OF
their recent battle. Since then Eddie
has hurled twenty-five scoreless in
nings. and is on his way.
Now Urban Fable. is counted upon
by Rowland to make good in the box
in the coming struggles to retain the
league leadership. And Urban is de-
IiverIng. Faber has allowed one run
In the last twenty-one Innings. This
is unusual effectiveness. and so Row
land can count Faber among the
chosen when 1t comes to getting
ready for the long grind.
Russell Comes Through.
The other day Reb Russell got
pounded TO death by the Athletics.
Rowland yanked him with a will, as
the White Sox had already scored
nine runs. Russell came back with a
shut-out game against the Red Sox.
Reb has a peculiar ability to shut out
champions. He has beaten them four

which will be put into force within
the next week or so. They call for

famous boxers tEd boxing instructors
in the UNITED States to act under the
direction OF the committee in teach
ing boxing tactics to the soldiers.
MANY OF the movements in boxing
are similar TO those used in bAyonet

tnis reason the Government feels that
the very best way to school the sol
ofcrs in bsyonet drills Is to teach
them the tricks OF boxing"
Therefore, the committee was
formed to have full supervision over
the instruction of soldiers in boxing.

VIII Use. Three More.
Once and awhile Williams turns in
a great feat. The lefthander is wild
at times. but he went through a cork
ing extra inning battle with the In
dams recently and was victor. As a
relief hurler Danforth seems able TO
deliver.
Rowland will call on Cicotte, Faber,
and Russell as regulars, with Will
liams and Danforth in reserve. Benz,
Scott. and wolfgang may be used II
they are fit. Rowland will pin his
hopes on Cicotte and Faber, for in the
past few weeks they have been de
livering in first class style.

This will be their nrst lesson.
Copies OF this original Aim will be
shown in all the camps in the United
States.
After the picture has been exhibited
the boxers delegated to the different
camps will begin instructing classes
Of about thirty soldiers to each boxer.
When this class has learned thor
oughly the different tactics, the sol
der pupils will then become teachers
and instruct the other soldiers in the
same camp.
VIII Use Friara' Hall.
The use OF the great hall OF the
Friars' Club. New York city, has been
rendered for the meeting, which will
be held within the next two weeks,
and which will bring together all the
boxers who have donated their serv-
fees to the Government. At that
meeting Chairman Corbett and DR..
Raycroft will assign the boxers to the
various cantonments.
In addition TO the champions and
former champions named above, the
following ring stars have volunteered
