BONUS OF $1,000
OFFERED TO EVERY
RED SOX PLAYER

Philadelphia, Sept. ia bonus Of
$1,000 will be paid every member of
the Red Sox If Boston captures the
American league pennant this year.
This offer was made by Harry Frazee,
principal owner Of the worlds cham
pions, who is determined to land the
third successive pennant for Boston If
1t is in the wood. No strings are at
tached to the offer and the players
will receive the extra price whether
they win the worlds series or not.
This good news was impaired to the
players during their series with the
Mackmen here last week and created
quite a stir among them. @
The offer shows how anxious the
Boston owners are to win the pen
nant, probably because there has been
so much talk about the st. Louis
Browns and Detroit laying down. to
the White Sox.
It is freely predicted hat Phil Ball
Of st. Louis will be compelled to prove
assertions that his players were not
trying to beat the White Sox and may
be forced to sell his interest In the
club.

BRITISH SUBJECTS
ANSWERING CALL
THROUGHOUT u. S

Boston, Sept 12.-Brigadier General
W. "a. White, head Of the British re-
,cruiting station in the United States,
is here to stimulate recruiting for the
British army.
ITO date we have secured some
thing more than $500 recruits for
the various branches Of the British
service in this country, but this is not
enough, General White said. This is
due to the fact that they have not
yet caught the war spirit and they are
receiving such big wages in the United
States. Every man Of British birth
has a duty, however, and If he is not
willing to join us he should join the
American forces and discharge his
obligations to the country in which he
lives"

CHUM BOB's SPORTING TALK.

New York, Feb. 6-(By Union AS
ISOLATED Press)-There is no reason
why a city the size Of New York
should not be able to support more
than n rem of representative size
1t is true that Madison Square Gar
den has not been financial success, but
there are contributing causes, which
have been discussed too often for re-
capitulation. Some regard it as be-
ing too "high-brow," others as too
costly to permit the promoters to
come out with reasonable profit, etc.,
etc. Interest is therefore shown in
the plan of Tax Richard to build a
stadium on the upper West Side of
the City, which it is predicted, will
seat about 10000 persons. Richards
decision to build the stadium resulted
from his failure to secure Madison
Square Garden as a site for the bouts
he plans to hold in this city, but the
structure will also be utilized for hold
ing various sporting events and will
not be boxing club exclusively.
Reports from Florida state that
there is a wonderful boom in golf in

springing up on every hand. Not on

present controlling body has the title
Of the National Association of ANA
teur Billiard Players. Charles Heddon
of Dowagiac, Mich, who recently re-
signed from the national association,
is the organizer Of the new associa-
ton in the West. He announces the
first tournament Of the Western con-
trolling body will be held sometime
this month, probably in Detroit. In
outlining the formation Of the new
association, Mr.. Heddon says that
playing in assembly halls, gymnas-
iums and club rooms is not conducive
to good billiards. !

RAPID HEADWAY IN
NATIONAL DEFENSE
Government Realizes We Are
at War, Even if People Are
Yet Indifferent.
DEFENSE CONFERENCE
HELD AT WASHINGTON
Charles J. Kelly Returns From
Notable Meeting-Country
Must Arouse Itself.

That the government appreciates
the gravity of the situation even
If the people as yet are Indifferent
to the fact that the country is at
war, is the word brought back
from Washington by Charles !.
Kelly, who returned from the east
last night. Mr.. Kelly was called
to Washington to represent the
state at the national defense con-
ference held under the auspices of
the national council Of defense
on May 2 and 8. AS a member of
the state council of defense Mr..
Kelly was named by Governor
Stewart as the Montana repre-
sentative at the meeting which
brought together leading men
from all parts of the country. Ten
governors were present at the
conference and every state was
represented.
While the conference was intended
to bring to public attention the need
for cooperation In the matter of tina
national defense, it served to impress
upon all who attended the meeting
that the government has not been in
active in the present crisis. The fact
Is that preparations for war have been
going on at a rate not generally real
lzed. More has been accomplished
toward putting the nation on a war
footing in the last few weeks than in
any similar period In the country's
history. The facts are that the gov
ernment officials are on the job night
and day, and aow that they have funds
and authority they are going ahead
with the national defense plans at A
rate not appreciated by the public.
Must Conserve Resources.
