ROPE SKIPPING AMONG
SPORTS AT GREAT LAKES
Exercise Makes BIuejaekets Alert,
Gives Them Control and In
ereases Lung, Power ,ss......

Great Lakes, ILL.,, Aug. 7.-Uncle
Sans sailors at the United States
Naval Training. station shePe have
various ways of keeping in physical
trim. With approximately 1900
track athletes among the $4,000 men
on the station, skipping rope has be-
come a popular method. Almost any
evening, after drill, husky young
Jackets may be seen in the company
streets skipping rope.
DR.. John B. Kaufman. past as
sistant surgeon, u. s. N, athletic Of
f1cer, says 1t makes them alert,
gives them control of their muscles
and increases their lung power.
The distances between buildings
and encarnpments on the military
reservation-there are thousands Of
acres--have popularized another
form of exercise-bicycle riding. A
wheel rack has been erected in front
of the administration building and
scores of officers and chief petty Of
f1cers, some of the latter having
stripes on their sleeves, showing up
ward of quarter Of century of SER
vice on the deep sea, ride back and
forth over the station, apparently
getting as much fun out Of 1t as the
small boy with his first wheel.

PRISONER OF GERMANY,
STARVED IN CAMP

wheat bread. He was allowed TO
work there and for q few months
worked for farmers and a portion
OF the time he worked In a meat
market. He earned three cents per
day. but one could not spend the
money for food al all rations were
issued by the government and an al
lowance given each person. The
Austrians at the present time. ae-
cording to Papelpu. have a much
better food supply than have the
Germans. He stated. too, that the
German soldiers were much more
brutal 10 the prisoners than were
the Austrians. and related a great
many incidents OF Prussian brutality
TO prisoners and innocent people.
U. s. fntervenss.
. During all this time that he was
enduring hardships as a prisoner Of
war. his relatives here, with the aid
OF Congressman P. D. Norton, were
making every effort to secure his re-
lease. There was much correspon-
Ndence between nations and in March
of this year he was granted his re-
lease from the Austrian government
and given passports to Switzerland.
and at the same time paid his three
cents for each day he had labored in
Austria. This. however. was before
America entered the great world
war. He made his way into France
from Switzerland and there. he says,
he spent some time regaining his
strength from the effects of the
hardships and starvation he had en-
dured. In France he could purchase
food and he said that he spent a
great deal Of time around the eating
houses trying to get his fill of the
necessities and the good things that
had been denied him for more than
two years. While in Switzerland he
communicated with relatives here,
who have been expecting him home
for several weeks He Travelled
through the war zone on a vessel
bound for New York when leaving
France but did not see any evidence
Of submarines.
The food shortage in Germany ami
among her allies seem to be mostly
meat, milk. butter and fats. They
have vegetables, etc, but all milk is
reserved for small children. Sugar
is used in coffee but once each week
and then an allowance is given. Two
light meals each day constitutes the
udy l5SuCu ny EONCTh'
ment.
Papelpu's bride is still in Russia
with her people but will sail for
America, now that she is informed
that her husband is safe at home.
PapeIpu has lived abo0t II miles
south Of Dickinson since 1908 and
has a good farm home and a quar-
ter section of land. His mother ind
three sisters reside near his farm.
and during his absence his farming
interests have been looked after by
a brother-in-law. Papelpu is now
at the home Of his mother for a fam
lily reunion and there will be many
things to tell regarding his expert
ences in the greatest war the world
has ever known.
Papelpu talked English fairly well
when he left here but has forgotten
a great deal Of the language while
picking up a smattering Of German
and French.

M'ELLTGOTT TAKES UP
WORK IN GOLF AGAIN
Instructor at Fargo Country Club
Returns to City For Two or
Three Weeks Stay.

Eddie McElligott, golf profession
al, who has been at Grand Forks the
past ten days, filling an engagement
with the Grand Forks Golf club, ar
rived in Fargo Monday evening and
will spend the next two or three
weeks at the Fargo Country club.
AS instructor in golf at the Fargo
Country club, Mr.. McElligott has
been very successful, and a goodly
number of Fargo golfers are loud in
their praise of his work.
Mr.. McElligott also maintains a
supply of golf materials at the club,
aiding players in the selection Of
clubs, ETC., an extremely important
element to be taken into considera-
ton by golfers-especially by the
newer players.

When IL comes to the small matter
or getting coolies of publicity next
70 pure reading matter, Frank Bak-
er OF the Yankees is found not AZ
Tar from the head Of the class. First
he was a brilliant member Of a brill
liant young Athletic infield. Ii
wasn't long before a series for the
world title came along, and Baker
thereupon, won the nickname OF
Home Run" much to the disgust Of
the opposition. When the 100, 900 in
held went to the four winds, Baker
retired for a time and played indie
pendent ball.
Before long he was induced to 80
to the Yankees, where his inability
to hit up to his former high estate
gave him considerable publicity.
Whenever times got hard Baker
would break bone in his hand or
something like that. Now Baker is
denying that he was trying to fn-
duce Pitcher Sothron of the
Browns TO play independent ball.
Mathewson, Cobb and Speaker have
columns handed them on a silver
platter, and, as a member of the Big
-Four. Bakers name should be added.
The reason for John McGraw re-
signing Jack Murray is explained by
the statement that Dave Robertson
has enlisted in the. army medical
corps and is likely to be called into
service at any time. Robertson
wants to 90 to France ana probably
will have his wish before fall.

The st. Louis Browns, who were
complaining Of poor pitching, GER
tainly have had no complaint to
make lately. Sothron is doing some
wonderful work. Dave Davenport
held the Red Sox to two hits in one
game Of the series and even old
Eddie Plank is showing class that
made him famous ten years ago. It's
not pitching that's the matter with
the Browns, that is evident.
The turns in baseball are queer
indeed. The st. Louis Cardinals had
Innelder Clyde DEBATE and wanted
to send him to st. Paul, but the ma
tional commission decided the St.
Louis claim to the player invalid and
he was awarded to Detroit: Now
Detroit has shipped him to st. Paul.
For player over whom there was
SO much controversy and bitterness,
DEBATE has shown mighty little.
Though the st. Louis Cardinals
have been trouping through the east
short-handed, this does not mean
they haven't plenty Of surplus OF a
sort at home, for President Branch
Hickey, a la Connie Mack, has been
raiding the prep school and amateur
ranks and has raft of youngsters
working out in ST. Louis with an eye
for the future. Reports from st.
Louis are that some of the young
sters are of great class and that
next spring viii see them strong
bidders for jobs on the Cardinal
line up.
The charges made against Frank
Baker, for lending a hand in Undue
ing certain players OF the st. Louis
Browns to jump have been dropped.
Baker, after protesting that there
was nothing to the charges and that
it wasn't necessary to answer them,
decided to write a letter Of denial to
President johnson. He made 1t
strong by saying that instead OF en-
couraging any jumping he told the
players they would be foolish to-
lump. The American league head
accepted the denial, Reputation or
whatever you cali it, and dropped
the matter.
