 WARRIORS
tBy Associated Press)


 NEW YORK, May 24. - That ath- letic training and sport are not en- tirely eliminated by either war or mill tary drilling is being demonstrated frequently these days both at home and abroad. Reports from the front and at the various training camps carry repeated mention of athletic con tests, both team and individual, and the daily physical exercise necessary to harden the men for the moro seri- ous work of modern warfare.
 A writer in one of the leading Eng fish papers devoted to sport, states that the British home defence army has attained point of efficiency which would make the invasion of England an utter and absolute folly whether the attempt were made from the sea or air. He claims that the fighting men there are of the right sort those who do not grasp a novelty and uniform.
 The salient feature of the new army, he says, is it's sporting side. Games or all sorts appeal irresistibly to of. ficers and men alike, and he describes as especially pleasing their fraterniz. ing daily in the sporting arenas. He emphasizes the fact that while abso- iute equality is observed in the sev- eral arenas no lack Of discipline is shown or attempted by the enlisted men while away from the athletic field. During the games, whether try ing conclusions with the boxing gloves. finishing close cricket match or con. tending for mastery at all-round ath. letics, the excitement at times is in. tense. The writer goes on to say that during these struggles the soldiers readily sum up the character of their officers, and the officer who excels in sport gains very valuable asset the esteem and confidence of the men under him.
 If for nothing else, therefore, the writer says, the army's sporting side is to be commended for the confidence 1t establishes and he Is convinced that after the war, all-round sport will he resumed on scale unprecedented even in Great Britain. Judged by gen. eral results, he asserts, the drill.sport curriculum has proved invaluable and the off-duty enthusiasm for sport is proof of the insnsIty of the passion -sa-'-' s-4s-..~ ssf..~~~~4t---a--s-s-s
 Graduate treasurer of athletics. Fred w Moore, of Harvard Univer- sity, touched upon the same subject, although from different angle, re- gently when he wrote:
 owing to the suspension Of inter , collegiate contests, 1t is the plan of the athletic association to promote and encourage Intercollegiate sports, so far as possible, without interfering with military preparation. Until the plans of the authorities take definite lOlih' hphShtif iI ID iihpoSoioie to UT ganize regular competitions. These will probably take the form of inter- class and scrub contests, and there is no reason why these teams cannot ar range occasional informal games or i races with local outside organizations.
 "It has been the experience of Eng land and Canada, both at their uni field, that it is not desirable to cut out athletic sports, however serious the situation With a long period of preparation before us, 1t is decidedly

Marguerite Clark
Goes Contrary to
The Old Adage

appearing exclusively in Paramount
Pictures, subscribes I the fact that a
screen stars health is her greatest as
set. 1t is only by keeping in the pink
of condition hat she can stand the
terrific strain of working day after day
in the Famous Players studio.
Marguerite Clark plays child parts
upon the screen that present her at
the G of twelve, and she carries them
off as convincingIy as if she were not
a day older than the character which
she is portraying. How does she do 1t?
BY keeping herself in such perfect
physical condition that she has all the
freshness and ~spontaneity of the child
of hat age.
So continuously does Miss Clark
work that it requires TIVE directors TO
keep pace with her in the big studio.
While one director is preparing a
script for her she is acting the stellar
role in another production. As she
takes the last scenes in her picture the
director in charge takes it to the labo-
ratory and begins cutting and assem-
bling the production, while Miss Clark
starts work under the second director.
How does she stand this continuous
strain?
There is only n answer: By so reg
ulating her day that she gets a GER
tain amount of exercise and a given
number of hours Of sleep every twenty
four hours. Miss Clark has always
been a very abstemious eater, her dali
" consumption OF food being less than
half that of the average person. She
seldom eats meat and will frequently
make a meal of a salad and toast.
Miss Clark takes at least eight hours
sleep every night and never fails to in
dulge in some form Of exercise before

enjoys more thoroughly than a few

where they put or the gloves and go
at each other as though they were NOR
tai enemies. Miss Clark is particular
ly enthusiastic over her impromptu
sparring matches because she believes
that they will keep one in condition
more completely than any other form
of exercise. In THE Amazons" she
displays many of her inimitab Bile ath.
letic qualifications. /
The first thing that Miss Clark does
upon waking in the morning is to go to
her window and take ten long breaths
of fresh air, no matter how low the
temperature may be; then a cup Of
coffee and a little toast before Miss
Clark goes into her gymnasium for her
half hour of brisk exercise. Nearly
every morning this period in the gym
nasium is followed by a hard gallop

roads bordering Long Island sound. ac-

country place in New Rochelle.
No wonder, then, that the diminutive
Miss Clark requires the services Of two
directors to keep pace with her activi-
ties before the camera and that she

Snow White, Molly Makebelieve and
the Valentine Girl, the other leading
roles in the productions in which she

NEED ONE STAR TO MAKE CUBS
WINNERS, SAY WEEGHMAN
BY Mark Shields

President Weeghman of the Cubs,
back from the training camp at Cal
ifornia, is enthusiastic over the di-
rectOrship of Manager Mitchell and
Opines that Mitch will get from the
athletes all the ability they possess.
All Mitch needs, according to Weegh-
man, is a star defender for one of the
infeId jobs. The position in need of
strength is not named.
BY the process of elimination it
would seem to be second base or
short, and even the keystone can be
eliminated if Larry Doyle is in the
game. In the absence of Steve
Yerkes, due to a wounded hand,
Workman is playing second and
Wolfe continues to operate at short.
This is a makeshift arrangement
and is another strong indication that
Doyle will be in harness when the
season opens.
The team so far has not developed
any great hitting powers, Mann, Viii
liams, Safer and one or two others
being backward with the stick. Deal
is leading the club for the exhibition
games and is easily the start of the
aggregation for this much of the
way.
Mann was a late starter last sea-
son, but Williams was away in a
burst Of glory, only to fall away later.
Max FIack is liable to have a crack
at a regular berth if some of the
other fellows don't connect success
fully.
Give Mitchell some fair batting
and he will create a stir in the Ma
tionaI league. His pitching staff is
going to be an effective combination
of veterans and regulars. Vaughn
and AIdridge whacked the work yes
terday, Big Jim allowing three hits
in five innings and Aldridge one in
four Oakland was never close to a |
score. Aldridge is prominent can
