Petroleum League Bars "Pros"

The Petroleum Baseball league has been
in operation only a few weeks, but already
the managers of every team have been be-
sieged by professional ball players seeking
positions. These fellows are generally
hard TO handle and cause no end of trouble
on account Of disputes as to their eligibility
The matter was discussed at a meeting of
the board of governors and a resolution
adopted that safely excludes all such jot
hunters. The mnpte adopted follows
Resolved, That each company furnish
the secretary Of the Petroleum Athletic
Association, on or before July 8, with a
list of all the baseball players they intend
to use in all the Petroleum Athletic Asso-
citation games; that the list of players
shall comprise only those who are bona
fide employees of their particular company
sthat players to be added to this list must
he in the employ of their particular COM
pany at least three months. and such ad-
dtions are subject to the approval of the
board OF governors; that only those whose
names are on the list shall be eligible to
participate in any OF the games of the
Petroleum Athletic Association"

AMERICAS LEADING GOLFERS
TO PLAY OVER FOUR COURSES
FOR BENEFIT OF RED CROSS
Pick of the Amateurs and the Foreign-Born and
Home Bred Professionals Will Contest for
Sweet Charity's Sake

THE golfers Of the country are doing their
i share in the aiding Of the Red Cross and
other war funds, and this is true both OF
the amateurs and the professionals. All
over the country, in sectional and other
tournaments, the golfers have given liner
ally 10 the Red Cross The various Hsso-
Citations have contributed the sums usually
spent upon prizes and to this the golfers
have added their entrance money.
On the Fourth Of July under the auspices
Of the United States Golf Association
nearly every club held a Liberty Day tour
nament in which every golfer contributed
AT least a dollar to the fund. While the
national association has not yet received all
the returns there is no doubt that the golf
ers on that day alone gave more than $780,
600 10 the war fund.
But tho biggest event Is yet TO come, and
II will be held over four Of the most impor-
tant Metropolitan courses later in the
month. Virtually every golf amateur and
professional of importance will be playing
and as the spectators will be taxed on each
of the four days the war fund will proht
considerably.

proof of American friendship when
they find American women-the Wo-
mems Bureau is now recruiting 90 OF
them for such service-ready to help
them.
Just behind the firing line the Red
Cross will put in field canteens. Ex-
tending the work already begun by the
French Red Cross, we shall see that
every corps of the French army. and
ultimately our own, has one OF these
stations, which will supply hot and cold
drinks to the men who are lighting.
Many of them now have nothing to
relieve their thirst except their day 8
ration which they carry IN containers
which may be smashed at any minute.
The canteen is placed in or near the
second line, and refreshing drinks are
carried right into the front trenches.
Each station can keep about l25 gallons
of hot drinks at the boiling point, and
has several thermos containers holding
six to twelve gallons apiece. -Four
thousand portions coffee, tea, cocoa,
bouillon, lemonade, mint are some
times served from one canteen In a
single day.
Here, too, American workers will be
found. The "convoyer" in charge of
the canteen will be Red Cross man
with French soldiers to help him.
Many of the poilus will get their first
glimpse of the American uniform in
this way. Just the cup of coffee, OF
the cold drink, may make all the diff.
ference between sagging morale and
spirited fighting.
To carry out these plans the War
Council has appropriated about $780,.
900, which will serve to establish the
canteens and maintain them for about
three months. Much of the original
equipment will be supplied by the
French army.
