TO RECRUIT FROM NEW ARMY.
Iowa Guard Regiments to 30 Filled
From Drafted Men.

FROM Orarteo men.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. <25-Second regi-
ment troops are on the move now and
are assem- bling to start to Camp Cody
at Deming Nm, Monday.
The transfer OF 500 men in the Sec
ond to the Third regiment, soon to 60
to France, left the elisted strength Of
the Second some 1900 men, The war
department has refused the request Of
the regimental commanders to conduct
a recruiting campaign to fill up the
ranks Of the guard. The plan Is to take
men from the national army and fill up
the troops Of both the Second and First
regiments
The First regiment is still on duty at
Camp Dodge No orders have been re-
ceived as yet concerning this body. It
Is probable. however, that the First will
be kept at Camp Dodge long enough to
teach the drafted men how to guard
theip own camp and that they will then
proceed to Deming.
The Iowa guardsmen will train at
Deming with guardsmen from four 9TH
err states totaling $4,000 men. 1t is
Thought also that the First and Second
will not be kept long at Deming but
before the first Of the year will be on
their way to France and will complete
their training there.

FORMER ANsoNs MAKE GOOD.
Dss Moines Sports Writer Recognise
Class Of MarshalIto~n Club.


Writing for The Sporting News, a
Des Moines sports writer speaking OF
the recruits recently acquired from the
Marshalltown club. says:
Higgins, one OF the Marshalltown re-
cruits, has been defeated in both his
games to date. having just one bad inn
ing in each OF them. But he has inn
pressed every one as a conner. Payne,
teammate of Higgins at Marshall-
town, in his first time out held the
scrappy Wichita team to four hits and
one run. this from a homer. and in his
second start he went even better. hold
ing Denver to four hits and no runs.
Payne has a quick breaking curve that
is a beauty. Higgins and Payne have
shown so well that Berger and Dresser
have been released.
Murphy. the third Of the trio that
came from the Central Association
town. has won a regular berth in center
field and Is showing up fine. Vernon
Spencer two years ago. when with Dem
yer. unquestionably the leading CEN
ter fielder in the Western league. was
released to make room for Murphy.
"As seen from all this. one Central
Association class D team has sent three
players to a class A team that has led
it's league practically all season and
they have showed three OF the regulars
off the team. Marshalltown must have
had a whale of team, as besides the
three players who came to Des Moines
1t has sold Torkelson, supposed to be
it's pitching premier, and It's third
baseman to the Cleveland Indians, Har-
ry Stanley is another new man on the
team, having come back from Cedar
Rapids to Des Monies to take Sweeney's
place at the initial corner. This is an
improvement and has livened up the
whole team with his abundant supply
Of pep"
Word reaches here that Glenn Dam
eron. first baseman Of the champions,
has signed with the Fort Smith club. IN
the Western association to finish the
season. Last year Cameron was with
Oklahoma City in the same league.
First Baseman William Feuerborn.
who belongs to Detroit and made his
reputation at Northwestern univer-
sity, has been secured by San Antonio,
in the Texas league. Feuerborn started
the season with the Hannibal club in
the Three I league. but when that or
ganization blew up he signed with Wa.
terloo. where he played until the sus-
pension Of the Central association.
Ralph Miller. Waterloos highly priz-
ed second baseman. who was said to
have been sold to Detroit, Is perform
ing with the Fort Wayne club in the
Central league. Fort Wayne is Millers
home town.
Joe Berger. recently released by Des
Moines. when Higgins and Payne joined
the Boosters has been taken on by
Lincoln. In 1915 and 1916, Berger was
with Cedar Rapids. in the Central as
ISOLATION where he pitched good ball.
He has kept up his gait this season but
was discarded when Fairweather deter
