 Every manager in the two major organizations is expected to give some of his time. The highest class players the game possesses probably will have to go. Stationed behind the lines with a huge squad of men they will go through their baseball training daily.

When they come back from Europe they not only will like to go to the base ball parks of the nation and wit ness professional baseball games, but they will have added interest from intimacy with the players, deeper knowledge of the game, and a desire to play it.
 Baseball always has enjoyed its bcoms after the wars in this coun- try The desire of the soldier for athletic diversion finds a natural outlet in baseball.

Their muscles will be hardened, their sense of fair play developed. Clean sports make good citizens. They should make good soldiers.

 It was decided to have a jitney dance at Mayflower Pavilion Satur, day night, July 21, L. s. Ferris, R. H. Pratt, M. V. Christman and Pat Casey being selected as an arrange ment committee.
 A county fair was decided upon for the 18th and 17th of August, the Natatorium to be the scene of what is intended to be the biggest thing in that line ever pulled off on the Island.

Noted Athletes Offer Services in
 CantonmentS.

When the youths of the nation be- gin to get together this fall at the camps provided for their instruc- tion in military tactics they will be greeted among others by some ot the country's most prominent ath- letes. Throwing everything else aside these men have volunteered to teach everything they can to aid the soldiers in reaching fitness oi condition in advance of any arm. now in France.
 Benny Leonard, the new light weight champion, is going to enlist in one branch of the service. Al ready he has laid plans for course in boxing for the young fellows. Il isn't every army that can have the services of worlds champion as a boxing instructor.
 Besides Leonard, Mike and Tom Gibbons, two of the worlds best middleweights, are ready to throw in their services Neither of them although each is married, claimed military exemption when they sign ed their registration cards. Fight ing to them means something be- sides a roped ring with padded covering.
 Following President Wilson, E statement that athletics should con- tinue unrestrained in war times colleges have begun to resume where
 
 they left off. Football players, ten his players, star track men-they all will be in camp and will be sta tioned with every division to teach what they know of athletic develop ment.
 Perhaps the most concerted action will come from baseball. The pa triotic efforts of Capt. T. l.. Huston to put military training into the daily practice of American League teams and the ready response of Ban Johnson to the suggestion has found its response. In recognition of efforts made by Johnson and his associates it has been arranged for major league players and men from other leagues to teach the rudiments of the national game as it is played by the professionals to the men who

Mme. SteinheiI Acquitted of Murdering First Husband, MarrieS
 Lord Abinger
MYSTERIOUS MURDERS
Woman Was Concerned in Death of Former President of
 France.

LONDON, July 6.-Mme. de Serig. nac has been married in the Wesle. van Church at Roupel Park to Lord Abinger. Congratulatory messages have been received from many per sons, including Parisians and neigh bors of the bride.
 It was made known by the London papers recently that Mme. de Serig- nae was none other that Mme Mar guerite Steinhill. whose trial in Par is in 1909 for the murder of her husband, an artist. and of her step. mother, attracted international atten- tion. Mime. Steinheil declared the murder had been committed by men who wore masks and was acquitted after long trial
 Mime. Steinheil's trial became of worldwide interest not only because of the prominence of her husband in the world of art but because of her peculiar fascination over men.
 The first magistrate who was de- tailed on the case fell in love with her and the mystery had to be trans ferred to another judge.
 At the trial Mme. Steinheil ire quently> interrupted the witnesses, as is permitted in a French court, and was believed to have influenced their testimony to some extent.
 However, the charge against her broke on the evidence that costumes had been stolen from neighboring theatre. Mime. Steinheil had claimed that men in disguise had entered the house to do the deed. and the disappearance of the theatrical garb was held to support her defense.

WASHINGTON, July GA gov. ernment that commanders the lives of it's young men and calls for the money of it's older men should have power to protect the whole people from the greed of an unpatriotie few"
 This was William J. Bryan's state ment in upholding the food admins tration bill now in Congressional con troversy.
 War is not a normal condition it is abnormal and requires extra ordinary remedies" said the former Secretary of State. The farmers are urged to increase the food pro ducts, and should be guaranteed against an inadequate price; with out such guarantees they might be penalized for their patriotism The consumers, too, deserve protection from food spectators.
