MANY ATHLETES WILL BE TAKEN
 FOR WAR CAUSE
Ball Players, Auto Racers and Others Will Be Wanted when Big
 Roundup Begins.

All branches of sports will be af- fected when Uncle Sam begins in earnest the task of recruiting an army of 100000 men.
 The work of recruiting will nee essarily be slow, and because of this it may not take the form of serious handicap to any one sport.
 But the ranks of sports will be irawn upon largely for the new army, and the process of recruiting will take frori sportdom many of it's stars, at least for time.
 With compulsory military ser. vice adopted by the government, the cream of American manhood will be called upon to fill up the rankes of the vast army, and no field of sport will be overlooked.
 Baseball is bound to be called upon to furnish many soldiers for Uncle Sam, and many players who ire of the specified military age from 20 to 25 years-will be call ed 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 lue time they will take steps to fill up the ranks where players will be taken.
 Collegiate sports will furnish an equally fertile field for recruiting Many college athletes already have seen service, having been enrolled Il the militia of various states when the troops were sent to he Mexican border. These men Ire bound to be called out again great many college athletes are 'irable for the ranks of army off cers. The aviation and engineer. ng corps will also draw largely rom our colleges.
 Automobile race drivers already lave responded nobly to the call tc arms, and voluntary enlstments rom the ranks of golf, tennis, foot )all, rowing and boxing have been numerous. When compul. ,ory military service is put in vogue, many more devotees in these branches of sport will be recruit ed.
 Although sports will not be in 1ulged in as largely during the com

supports will be determined, of course,
by the size that you want to make the
booth. Seven feet square, outside

continuous counter extending from
corner to corner. This is not shown

II you toy with cards, buy brand deck

To the bunch in France they'll have chance
To shuttle the pasteboards too
For the deck that planned by mad king
a spur his muddled brain,
May in the stencil ratty trench,

II you like your smoke when your nerves are frayed
Or job times slow.
If joy you get from cigaret
Or old pipes ruddy glow;
Then think of the boys a muddy ditch
Away from their homes and folk,
And your dimes your js sometimes
To buy em bunch of smokes.
And you who shudder nicotine
Consider boys
In the brunt of the battle front
In the dirt and the SMELL
Do think a smoke the long hours drag
Could be called sin?
Why it's just pure joy to soldier boy
Come old top, kick in!
