LACK UNIFORMS
AT AVER CAMP
Half Of Men of 18th Divi-
sion in Clothing of
Civilians
ONLY $500 KRAG
RIFLES FOR $4,000
Drafted Men. Are Buying

Bonds

Camp Devens, Aver, Oct. 5,-The one
good and sufficient reason why approx.
imately 40 per cent of the 22,004 men
who to-day compose the rank and file
of the Seventy Sixth Army division are
not clothed in the uniform of the sol
der is because the quartermaster de-
partment of the United States govern
ment has failed to provide them with
uniforms. The same statement is true
with regard to the $500 Krag rifles which
are the entire armament so far provided
by the governments ordance department.
The often-reiterated statement that am
pie supplies are on hand in the regi-
mental storehouses of Camp Devens is
not borne out by the facts of the situa-
ton; and that such is not the case is
admitted by officials of the
who are in a position to
know the exact state of affairs.
In fact, more often than not the uni
forms that are received here from time
to time never see the storehouse, but are
distributed directly from the supply
trains that haul them onto the camp
siding.
Three platoons of recruits, composing
Company A of the 302d infantry, who
we're drilling near their quarters this
furnish fair illustration of
he proportion of Camp Devens men now

wearing the khaki. These men are all
from Fall River and have been in camp
for two full weeks but hardly half of
them have uniforms. Some of them
have pair of military breeches or u
pair of leggins while many more go
through the daily drill field manoeuvres
with caps upon their heads, with shirt
sleeves rolled up and with other civilian
attire that is fast succumbing to the
strain of the life they have been selected
to lead
One reason advanced for the present
shortage of uniforms is that 10000 orig
inally sent to this camp were ordered

wards of the Goth division and are to-day
being worn by those men.
"If we had these uniforms" said u
headquarters officer to-day, 1--WE should
be in good shape not only with regard
to the men here but those to come. As
it is--well, we are doing the best we
can with what we have and passing
them out to the men just as fast as we
can get them"
Ii is authoritatively stated that for
the present there will be no transfers or
draft men to recruit Brigadier General
T.. Leroy Sweetser's depot brigade at
Westfield. 1t does not follow, however,
that transfers for this purpose will not
be made later, and to relieve situation
that will be congested beyond all hope
of order when the last fifteen per cent
draft is made in another fortnight. The
reason that the commander of Camp
Devens objected to the recruiting of the
depot brigade particularly the old
Fifth regiment--from drafted men sent |
here was the condition that all the men
be sent from one locality. The localized
idea has been followed in the assignment |
of men to the various units here and
to have sent 100 from one locality to
the Fifth would have been demoralizing |
to Camp Devens plans.
The men due here on the second forty |
per cent draft are arriving slowly

BERLIN PROMISES GRAIN

Hopes to Embarrsss Allied Embargo Di-

Washington. Oct. 5.-That Germany is
promising to supply neutrals with grain
presumably ON the strength of expect
ed supplies from Rumsnia and Russian
grain belts developed here yesterday.
The offers, made within the last few
days, are regarded here as given to infiu-
ence public opinion, following the tight
ening of the allied embargo on Scandi-
navia and Holland.
officials here regard the German prof
fer as a means to embarrass the allied
embargo directors. The Teutons claim
to have vastly more grain than their en-
emies have been led TO believe.
Semi-official estimates made by the
neutral missions here show their coun-
tries will need 2,3O5,0OO tons Of grain
the coming year; $4,000 tons of fats;
100000 tons Of sugar and 3,0Ss,OOO tons

QUIET TBALL TOSSERS
FAVORITES OF FANS
Wonderful Contrast Be-
tween Scrapping Braves
and Mack's Champions
DIFFERENCE ON PAY DAYS

It has sometimes been said that the
scrappy, pugnacious ball player or manager
Is the most popular with the fans because
they love a fighter. The facts do not sub
stantiate this statement. 1t Is true that
the fans do not like a quitter. No one does.
But a ball player does not have to be a
pug" continually toting chip on his
shoulder and ever ready for fist fight to
avoid being called a gutter.
The gamest player is not always the
fighter; in fact it frequently is found that
the fighter is a fighter only on the surface,
and that he is not nearly so game at heart
as the more quiet and less assuming player.
OF types there are plenty of each variety
in each league.
There are stars who are pointed to for
their aggressiveness, and there are stars
who are referred to as calm, close -mouthed
players-men who. are put off the field so
seldom the fans can't remember the hap
penings.
OF the belligerent type John j. McGraw
Charley Herzog, Arthur Fletcher, Johnny
Tyler, Miguel Gonzales and Rabbit Maran-
VILE are the most prominent.
On the other hand there are Eddie Col
Inns, Jack Barry. Joe Jackson, Roger Peck
inpaugh, Wally Pipp, Lee Magee. Walter
Johnson. Grover Alexander Frank Baker
and half a dozen other real, high-class
players from whom real, live kick In
angry tones never was heard. And these
men are just as popular as the ones listed
under the heading Of belligerents.
The Braves, when they were driving well
and sticking around the top of National
League standings, constituted one Of the

viz, the White Sox, out upon the hostile
ledge far from the friendly squawk of the

As this White Sox-Red Sox jubilee is by
all odds the most interesting feature OF the
1917 campaign--almost the only interesting
feature left, so far as pennants are con-

Stuff to Be Watched
There are now these details to watch, in
order. First of all. it must be remembered
that for the last two campaigns the Red
Sox have played their best ball the last two
months of the race.
They made their pennant drive In 1915
after August 1. They made their pennant
drive last year after September L.
on both occasions they settled down to
steady aggressive march and went ham,

They are now starting their second cam

this campaign in 1915 that they scrambled

BALTIMORE FEDS WILL
SUE AGAIN IN WASHINGTON
New Effort to Recover 100000 Will
Be Based on Damages

BALTIMORE, Nd July 26.-The $780,
600 suit of the Baltimore (Federal League)
Baseball Club which was suddenly with
drawn recently while under trial in the
United States District Court in Phiadel-
phia, again has come into being The suit
probably will be entered this time In Wash
ington, although New York also is being
considered
The first suit charged there had been
conspiracy to oust Baltimore from major
league circles. This was the point where
the Baltimore suit was crushed, for testi-
mony brought forth the fact that repre-
sentatives OF the Baltimore Club had been
present when the peace pact was discussed
and that therefore, no real conspiracy could
be proved.
This time, however there will be no mem
tion of conspiracy in the legal action and
in all probability nothing further than the
claim for damages brought about as a re-
suit Of the course pursued by organized
baseball and some Of the former Federal
League owners
For some time 1t has been believed that
some sort of a compromise would be ef-
fected, but apparently nothing has come of
efforts along this line.
