WAR WORK FOR OUR GIRLS.

We can't do our work for the boys
unless someone looks after the girls,
is practically what the Government
Commission on Training Camp Activ-
tiles and the Y. M. C. A. said when
they undertook the task of making
the military camps safe and whole
some for our boys who are to fight
to make the world safe for democ-
racy.
Representatives of all the women's
organizations of the country-and
there are some $50 of them-were
called to Washington. About " or
CARNATIONS were represented. The
National Young Women's Christian
Association was asked to operate
with the commission by looking after
the girls, because it has had fifty
years of experience in work with
girls. It is organized in over one
thousand centers and has member
ship of $4,000 in this country and
$50 trained national workers who
travel and have countrywide
knowledge of conditions and girls.
Even before the commission sound
ed the call for help, the National
Young Womans Christian Associa-
ton had called a war council of 100
representative women from all parts
of the country. They came to New
York in June, from the Pacific coast
to the Gulf, to plan, to strengthen
and expand the association work to
meet the war crisis.
Before the war council adjourned
this first meeting, there was S10,Ooo
in hand and call for help had come
from the commanding officer OF the
training camp at Plattsburg to come
up and do something with the girls of
the town and with the mothers, wives
sisters and sweethearts coming to
camp to see how it Jared with their
boys who were preparing for duty
that might keep them from ever COM
ing back home.
Manufacturing communities were
springing up like mushrooms, and
young girls with patriotic ardor and
little experience. were answering by
thousands the call to labor. The
cities and towns surrounding the
camps were suddenly to have their
male population added to by tens OF
thousands-what would this mean to
our girls full Of the spirit and TO
nance Of the hour and eager to ven
ture on new paths to help"
The council responded to the first
call, and there is now live girls club
in thei tow of Plattsburg, with rooms
of its own in which the girls take
great pride, and where there is much
knitting and Red Cross work with
other activities and opportunities for
service, as well as plenty of the right
kind Of recreation, for girls, as we'll as
boys, must have fun.
The Young Woraen's Christian AS
ISOLATION has met the challenge and
taken up large responsibility. 1t needs
the sympathy and understanding of
every patriotic woman.
1t has a program which will be ex-
planned in three articles to be pub
lished in subsequent issues of this
paper.

career as n golf meadow and now, under
its present style and title the club has
reached the height of popularity.
They played golf at Manoa when the
West Chester trolies were first run along
the old turnpike, and in those days golf
was a mystery to the majority of the
travellers; some thought that the earnest
linksmen were killing snakes, and all mar
veled at the strange antics Of the men
who were busy at the new fad. Now all
is different and the Bon Air golfer is
no longer a curiosity as he bats them out
beside the right Of way. It used to be
the Delaware County Country Club. Then,
in 1911, tho Athletic Club Of PHILADELPHIA
moved from its old Essngton Orchard and
a new sign appeared at the entrance gate
bearing the god-leafed title of The Athletic
Club of Philadelpha-Golf Links. A few
years ago this sign was taken down and
the present Bon Air one was substituted
The governors OF the club decided TO
make the old stand look better and brighter
this year, and many new and improved
traps were cut TO stiffen the course, and
the buildings received n full outfit Of fresh
paint. So great was the transformation
that many eX-members rushed back to the
fold and the club is now on a prosperous
footing. The fairways have long been
listed as excellent. Turf improves with age

conscientiously, whether the weather is
good or bad, and whether he hits his shots
well or not
The following plan OF action Is my
advice 70 the prospective golfer who is
willing 70 adopt a system: Go to your
professional and get an idea of the proper
way TO grip a club. to stand and to swing.
That once done, initiating him exactly will
not carry you far; you must learn to put
your physical and mental individuality into
everything, and work TO that end. Prepare
70 give certain amount of time 70 con-
sistent and uninterrupted practice
Avoid Fatigue
Lay in a supply of two dozen golf balls
for practice Here I offer a little warning
do not hit many more than dozen shots
in succession with any one club. for moth
ing is gained by work when fatigued.
also suggest that you swing only when you
hit a ball
We ali have manyfFiends who can slip
dandelion heads easily and without Gail
and miss the ball itself frequently. For
that reason consider II better not to
practice much swinging without a ban,

Central High School is the likely winner
of the interscholastc baseball champion
ship. Trades Schools strong team won
from the West Phillies yesterday. to 5,
and virtually put the Orange and Blue
out Of the running for the Princeton CUP
The only chance West Philadelphia has of
sharing in the award rests with Franlkfor~s
High
If Frankford High School can muster
together team strong enough to beat
Central High, then there will be a triple
tie for the league championship and prob
ably no play-off. If Frankford High sue
ceeds in accomplishing this unexpected
stunt, the Central High nine will be losing
to team next to last place in the league.
II has been n season of upsets so far
In the league and there is no telling what
will happen Coach Rudolph Falkenhagen
OF Frankford High, who thought the West
Phillies would win this year, was a much
surprised man when he heard of the score
last night He said:
80 they beat West Philadelphia! I
didn't expect anything like that We have
arranged to play the last league game of
the season with Central High on our
grounds on Thursday afternoon.
IF we win it will mean triple tie for
the title between the Central High, North
east and West Philadelphia teams"
Seigle Won Game for Trades
Selgle won the game for Trades School,
He pitched in fine form, tanning sixteen
players and allowing only four hits He
was wild in the fourth inning, when West
Philadelphia scored three runs In this
| inning he hit four batters, and an error
by Vreeland helped the West Phillies TO
their runs.
In the ninth inning the Trades School

The training grind is much harder in foot

A contender must be in much better physi-

Baseball is fine training for the big red

far as war preparation is concerned, there
is nothing as good as the old college game
