FIELDER JONES HEADS
 PARTY OF 37 PEOPLE
Tom Rogers and Dick Kerr, Former Southern Leaguers, Doing Great
 Work With Browns.

Fielder Jones will head party of 37 people, when he arrives in Pine Bluff Tuesday with the St. Louis Browns, and in the party will be four newspapermen, who have been with the club during the training season at Corpus Christi, Texas. All the players are reported in excellent con- dition, and the same thing goes for the sport writers, who have been getting some fine training at after dinner speechmaking, etc.
 During the stay here of the Browns, Pine Bluff will be thickly populated with ball players, as there will be half a hundred and more in the az ! greate of St. Louis and Columbus rosters. It might not be bad idea to have the census nal stroll around about Tuesday evening, to add to Pine Bluffs population credit
 Tom Rogers, the former Nashville Southern league right-hander, has been picked out by Manager Fielder Jones to fill the shoes of Dave Daven- port, the Browns last season main stay, who is hors de combat because of gunshot wound. Rogers has beer making good with vengeance, and he will be expected to take regular turn on the bill when the season
 opens. Dick Kerr also is showing II we'll and has been starring in the preseason games.

JEFFERSON BOY WILL
 BE HENDRIX ATHLETE
J. M. Faucett, Graduate of Watson Chapel School, Showing Speed in
 Dash Events.

J. M. Faucett, Jefferson county boy, appears destined to be a star mem- Der of the Hendrix college track team, reports from Conway indicating that Faucett is showing great things in the dash events at the college track
 Faucett, a graduate of the Watson Chapel school, was one of the indi- vidual stars at the first Jefferson county school meet here last spring, and made especially good showings in the dash and sprint events. He ap- pears to have lost none of his speed and stamina during the past year.
 The Hendrix Bulldog makes the fol- lowing comment on Faucets recent work:
 "The men who we should mention as showing quality are: J. Patterson, J. M. Faucett, R. Patterson, V. L. Thompson, Polk, Hayden and :. Thompson.
 Manager Myers will lead the dash men. He showed speed on the quar- ter and the 100 and 200 dashes last year. Along with him Polk, Faucett, Harton, B. Thompson and Hudson The hurdle men showing skill in leaping the hurdles are Harton, Cos sett and Sherman"

FRENCH WOMEN IN
 DEFENCE SERVICE

Correspondence Associated Press,)
 Paris, March 1.-Three thousand women volunteers are now in the serv- ice of the national defense. The As sociated Press is informed by Madame Emile Boutroux, wife of the eminent French philosopher and cousin of President Poincare. Madame Boutroux presides the "Women's Volunteer En- rolling Committee" besides directing the auxiliary hospital installed in the establishment of the Thiers Founda- tion for original research.
 Hundreds of our volunteers are re- placing men in clerical positions" she said. Others, including many society women, are looking after the children of women munitions workers Little by little our volunteers are assuming every different kind of auxiliary sery- ice women are capable of doing. Several different crews of women volunteers have been helping organize the distribution of coal in Paris dur ing the severe weather. ,s
 "At Saint Etienne our volunteers are supervising the distribution of sugar cards, releasing just so many men for military service.
 "We have ready at all times what we call flying crews that are at the disposition of different departments of public administration for new or urgent service anywhere.
 Permanent crews are being formed to establish new kindergartens in populous quarters where reside many mothers who are engaged in making shells or cartridges during the day

and have no one to look after their children. Others are organizing can teens near munitions factories for the accommodation of women workers"
 Women from all classes of society are enrolled by this committees; those in easy circumstances working gratuitously, others for such pay as may be given. The main object. how ever. .is to enlist women who have never worked before, increasing the number of hands available for me- chanical and other tasks and increas- ing the producing capacity of the country.

OLD COUNTRY CLUB
 OFFERED FOR SALE

With the decision of the stockhold- CTS of the Pine Bluff Country club ,o dispose of it's clubhouse and grounds, advertisement for the sale of which is printed elsewhere in The Graphic this morning, there come to dissolu- tion a club which has been active and popular in the social life of the community, since it's organization. Many delightful social affairs have been enjoyed at the handsome club house and grounds, and there will be many to learn with regret of the decision of the club members, to ter minate it's corporate existence.
 The question of dissolution has been the subject of discussion among the members of the club for some six weeks or two months past, and was finally decided upon at a. recent meeting, when the officers were in structed to invite bids for the pur- chase of the club holdings, on the Main street pike, south of the city The bids will be received by the president of the club, Dr. J. w.

Wonder Why Couldn't Have Yesterdays Sunshine Fri
 day Afternoon.
ST. LOUIS BROWNS
 PLAY HERE TUESDAY
Fielder Jones Expected to Bring Sev' eral of Games Best Known
 t Stars to Play Tinker's
 ", Senators.

"Why couldn't we have had this sort of weather Friday, so we could have seen that ball gamer" was the question asked yesterday by several hundred enthusiastic baseball fans, as we'll as by just as many lady folk, who had earnestly desired to watch the big league stars in action.
 There was no ansWer-nobody could make an answer, but everybody echoed the question. Friday, it rained and hailed in terrific fashion. Yesterday was as pretty bright, sunshiny day as any enc could find anywhere in the world at the most favorable season of the year. That's all there is to it.
 Local fans and friends of the ball. players are working hard, however, with their charms and hopes and wishes, to have just such another day Tuesday, when Fielder Jones brings his St. Louis Browns here for the big half-holiday celebration game against the Columbus Senators. The Browns are about the closest neigh bors. of big league calibre that Pine Bluff has. On the roster of the club, may be found the names of several men! who have helped to write the history. of baseball, men who have long been prominent and others who have come. forward to the very fore front within the past two or three year$. These men will ltake part in the game Tuesday, so local fans will not be cheated out of all their op- mny.f1Anifv tn soc lannon's hall DlaVorS actively engaged in game.
 {. Will Observe Holiday.
 That the business interest of the city will generally observe the half holiday which was called off Friday,
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-03-25

is indicated plainly. The principal idea is to show courtesy to Joe Tin- ker and his club. The next thought is to allow all local people chance to see good ball game. And finally it is planned to have monster crowd out, to encourage Manager Tinker for future activities here, that he may arrange larger and better schedule of exhibition games for next spring, when, it is confidently ex- pected, the Senators will occupy their same training quarters in Pine Bluff.
 It is roughly estimated that dur ing their stay here of about three weeks, the Senators, as club and individually, have spent sum ap- proximating $5,000, for actual ex- penses and for other purchases. 1t has cost Pine Bluff not cent to bring the club here. no bonus of any kind have been offered or paid All that Pine Bluff has done, has been 10 provide training quarters, the ball field. and enthusiasm and co-opera. tion in attending the exhibition games and this, it seems likely, will be done when the time comes, Tuesday afternoon. ,sa
 Manager Fielder ones of the Browns has already made reserva- tions for his club, for two days, and has notified Manager w. N. Trulocl of the Hotel Pines that he will have about "A men in his squad. The Browns will arrive Tuesday morning early and vii lleave Wednesday night or Thursday morning early, after playing two games here, Tuesday anf Wednesday afternoons.

 Each club made six hits, the Sena- tors were charged with one error against two for the Gassers. George, Brock and LaLonge, Coleman for the Senators, and Gleason and Betts for the Gassers, were the batteries.
 The same clubs play again Sun- da yafternoon.
