New York, April 2S-An branches of

The work of recruiting will necessarily

upon largely for the new army, and the
process Of recruiting will take from
sportdom many OF its stars. at least for
a time.
With compulsory military service
adopted by the government the cream
Of American manhood will be called upon
to Ill up the ranks OF the vast army,
and no field offers such able-bodied men
as the field of sports
Baseball is bound to be called upon to
furnish many soldiers for Uncle Sam. and
many players who are of the specified
military age-from twenty to twenty-five
years-will be called into service
The government wants only foot-free
men, and in baseball there are hundreds.
The club owners in the various leagues
throughout the country fully expect that
many OF their players will be called, and
in due time they will take steps to fill up
the ranks where players will be taken.
Collegiate sports will furnish an

of various States when the troops were
sent to the Mexican border. These men
are bound to be called out again. A
great many college athletes are looked
upon by Uncle Sam as desirable for the
ranks of army officers. The aviation and
engineering corps will also draw largely
from our colleges.
Automobile race drivers have already

Although sports will not be INDUCED in

been the case in the past, there will be
sufficiency of sport to keep the various
branches alive.
Baseball, boxing and horse racing are

war situation arise Track and field

by those who are free to indulge in
them.

EXPECT LAY-OFF WILL
BOOST COLLEGE SPORT
Inler-class Competition VIII Help to
Develop New Material in Ranks.

New York. April 2G-when intercolle-
giate sports were dropped by many OF
the big leagues Of the country, following
the declaration Of war with Germany, a
vail went UP that the action would be
great handicap to collegiate sports In
general
But. strange as 1t may seem. the board
OF graduate athletic managers OF the
big Eastern schools takes a directly op-
posite view.
1t Is the belief of the athletic man
ayers that instead Of handicapping col
Iege sports. the action will result in
doubling the interest of students In
spots within the course of year. and
there is hope that intercollegiate sched-
ules can be resumed as usual by the time
the football season arrives next fall.
With intercollegiate sports in vogue Il
Is explained that hundreds of students do
not attempt to take part in athletics be-
cause OF physical inferiority. The var
,sity teams and crews which represent
lthe various schools are made up Of the
best athletes available, and there Is lit
tie chance for the student who cannot
boast Of his athletic prowess to get q
look in. So he lodges sports.
Bot with intercollegiate activities drop
ped for a time. and interclass sports
pushed to the front, coupled with form
OF military training. this same student is
encouraged TO get out and do his best to
Improve his physical self. The military
phase Is the answer.
Many a collegian whose patriotism
urges him to answer the call to the coll
ors, but who feels that he is physically
unfit for service. will turn out for inter-
class sports to get the physical benefit.
And many student. physically capable,
but Indifferent to sports. is stirred by the
military work and takes up training and
sports along with IT,
In this way IL Is estimated that the
number of college athletes will be doubled
or trebled within short time.

TEST
OF PREPAREDNESS

Philadelphia, April 2s.-There is no one
sport on the calendar which can claim
the virtue of fitting its devotees for mill
itary service more than trapshooting
The sport alluring," as it has been
termed, takes one out into the open air
for interesting and healthy exercise, and
best of ALL it teaches one how to handle
a gun and how to become a marksman.
Trapshooting is one of the most ex-
pensiye sports that can be INDUCED in,
vet there are thousands of trapshooters
in the country today who comes within
the limits of the military age, and from
their ranks Uncle Samuel will recruit
many a marksman of whom the army
will be proud.
Handling a shot gun and a rife are two
different things. but the man who knows
how to use shot gun can put a rife to
his shoulder and get results with very
little practice. whereas the uninitiated
find an army rife almost as unruly as a
Missouri mule.
The main trouble with hockey is that 1t can't

Celebrated Seventh Birthday

Several hours of Tuesday after
noon were made to seem very short
to the little folk who were honored
with invitations to the birthday
party of little George Edward Shep-
pard which was given by him at
the home of his grandpal ents, Mr..
and Mrs. Orlando Sheppard. Vari-
Gus contests and games that are
of especial interest to children were
engaged in until all grew weary and
then they were refreshed by delicious
ice cream and cake. A number of the
guests presented the popular little
host with some token of affection
and the host presented each guest
with an attractive whistle. some
thing that every little boy prizes as
much as big brother does an auto
mobile. The pleasure that each
little guest derived from the very
delightful occasion is reflected or
evidenced by a remark made by one
little fellow upon reaching home:

mention. For almost the entire
distance we passed through fertile
acres devoted exclusively to truck
farming. How we did wish, at this
time when growing foodstuffs Is
being stressed, that hundreds of
Elgefeld county farmers could see
the sights of the Ashley. Much of
the land had been drained and
several hundred acres plantedin Irish
potatoes, beets and cabbages, all ex-
cept the latter being about ready
for market. In some of the potato
fields not patches-there were
scores of negro women at work
STOPPING as if they were picking
bugs from the potatoes. The speed
at which our chauffeur was travelling
made it impossible for us TO see just
what was being done by this small
army of low.country women. The
acres upon acres of food crops pre-
sented an inspiring sight. Upon
our return home our few rows of
potatoes appeared as only a grain
of sand on the seashore. However,
if the bugs will not be too greedy,
we hope to make enough potatoes
to do u.s.

Address by Rev. Richard Carroll

The announcement that Rev. Car
roll would speak caused a large
number of Edgefeld people to as
semble in Macedonia church Sunday
afternoon, almost half of the assem-
blage being white people. Rev.
Carroll and his work are we'll known
in Edgefeld. He has been visiting
Edgefeld at intervals for nearly
twenty years, and attracts larger
number of persons to hear him each
succeeding visit.
His address Sunday afternoon was
preceded by appropriate remarks by
MIR. Orlando Sheppard. In his ad'
dress Rev. Carroll gave his hearers
some wise counsel, never at any
time using language that would
arouse the prejudice or displeasure
of any reasonable minded person.
He urged the white people to be al
ways kindly and Just in their deal
ings with negroes, and urged the ne
groes to render honest and faithful
service. He also advised the ne
groes to remain in the South instead
of yielding to the allurements of
Northern agents. His address was
well received in the afternoon, and
at night he again spoke, but espec-
tally to the colored people.
While Rev. Carroll is in the en-
ployment of the Baptist Home Mis-
sion board, at this time he is
engaged in the cause of civic or
food preparedness, and along this
line gives his people some advice
which will be Of great profit to
them if needed.
Whenever Rev. Carroll comes to
Edgefeld hereafter he will be cor
daily welcomed, as he always proves
