 'England's battles were won on the tories in the cause of democracy and
 humanity can be attributed to the baseball diamond, the football field. the tennis court track, field and water, for the 10,000,0O0 young men who have answered the registra ton cal of the president have received a preliminary training in the great American army of sport, and when the flower of young American manhood takes it's place in France and Belgium alongside the ar mics of France and Great Britain in the fight for world freedom they will not have to acknowledge superiority of physical fitness, alertness of mind, keenness of eye and courage to the 'Tommies" or "Poilu," all due % the love of the youth of the United States for sport.
 The United States army authorities, realizing the value of the playing of baseball and other competitive sports are seeing to it that contests and sys- tematic play are a part of the phySiCa fitting of the student officers and en- listed men in the various training camps. A systematic canvassing and tabulating of the country has shown that the writings and preachments 0, the sporting slackers' and college alarmists are having no effect on Young America, and that more base ball than ever is now being played by lads 21 years of age and less.

M'GRAw EATS HUMBLE PIE.
Giants Manager Retracts Statements
 Made Against National League.

The National league promptly and effectively called the bluff of Manager McGraw of the New York club. After the pugnacious leader of the Giants threw his cards on the table of the league directors the sham and pretense of his recent brave words incident to his physical attack upon Umpire Byron were made bare to the baseball public and there was very little fight left in him. McGraw refused to appear before the league directors at their first meet ing, but when the New York club was informed that his absence would have the effect of increasing the penalty al ready inflicted McGraw was quick to respond to the summons. His back down was complete and abject. He had the alternative of signing a complete retraction of charges he is alleged to have made against the National league, some of its club presidents and the organizations executive or suffer an additional penalty al the hands of the National league. He chose the former and thereby either stultified himself or the numerous newspapermen traveiing with the New York team. McGraw says he did not give out the interviews and that the newspapermen manufac- tured them from their imaginatiOns. This is the only conclusion that can be reached after reading McGraw's signed retraction. The league presidents made it an organization affair. It was out of President Tener's hands entirely The league was strong and united in it's purpose to have a showdown. Either McGrBW was running the organization or the owners themselves were. Me Graw surely did not expect to find the entire league united against him. BUt he underestimated the teInper and stamina of the league as now consti- tuted. The magnates were in a mood to suspend the belHcose manager for the remainder of the season had he not retaacted what he is alleged to have said about them, their organization and executive.

tale to tell Of love grown cold Of the husband seeking
pleasure in the society Of other women, OF neglect Oh
cruelty and Of abuse Sometimes it is several years after
the promise to love- cherish and protect is made before
she who was given the promise is neither loved nor
cherished and the protection she needs is from her prom
sed protector If did not become hardened by hear
ing day after day the pfu tales told by neglected wives
of cruelty of abuse Of nhuman treatment the sentiment
of the Frenchman who said: The see Of men the
better like dogs would be cheerfully ndorsed by the
reporters and others whose business requires attendance
on the divorce courts 1t is perhaps fortunate for human
ity that women do not hear the testimony in divorce
eases for if they did the giving in marriage would become
rarity That is it would be such if it were not for the
fact that woman trusting and optimistic She believes
nothing of this kind will come to her. and yet that is just
what those whose lives are barred in the court

they gave up family home and friends to join their
fortunes with the one man who had their affections
1t must be in bitterness of spirit when is all over and
the dream shattered that the with two or three
