The Patriarch Bard
Respectfully Dedicated TO ]. T. o.
BY W. d. Greene.

Our patriarch bard took up his pen
July the fourteenth day
And wrote some lines that ssSely
ought
To make us think and pray.
He scatters cody seed each day
Like preacher or prelate.
To point us to the narrow way
And through tho narrow gate.
Three-score and ten he's long since
passed.
The dlvinely appointed span.
And yet with all those years he's still
A young appearing man;
The exhortations in his verse
I've read full many a time,
No other have I known to preach
A sermon cOuched in rhyme.
His length of days he owes perhaps
As we'll as health complete,
To walking daily in the paths
He points TO others feet;
And when his task below Is done
He'll reach that place I feel
Where moth and rust doth not cor
rupt.
Nor thieves break Though and steal

The director of boxing win tram specially detailed groups of men who have had previous knowledge of the sport, to become assistant instructors, so they may give individual lessons to men in the military units to which they are assigned Boxing contests among the men will be encouraged, under carefully formulated rules and close supervision.
 Motion pictures will be employed to standardize the work. These will dem onstrate the Fundamentals of boxing and the essential elements of the bay onet drill, visualizing the close rela- tionship between the two. Pictures of shadow boxing and contests with spring bayonets will illustrate the value of boxing as preparation for bayonet fighting.
 Directors of sports will be assisted by the thletic instructor in charge of the Young Mems Christian Association and Knights of Columbus recreation halls at each camp. Each company in each camp will be supplied with a selected list of athletic apparatus. in- cluding baseballs, gloves, bats, play ground balls, soccer balls and boxing gloves. The government has made an initial appropriation for this equip ment, but it is only one-tenth of what will be required and a special commit tee has been working to provide the equipment.

ATHLETIC TRAINING FOR
 NATIONAL ARMY STARTED Crack College Athletes Will Coach All
 Branches of Sports at Big Camps.

With the assignment of crack col lege athletes from all parts of the United States to National army and National Guard camps the work of promoting recrative athletics among the million soldiers being trained for service overseas is we'll under way The commission on training camp activities, of which Raymond B. Eos dick is chairman, has organized the coaches and placed one on the staff of the commanding officer of each big
 military camp in the country.
 The commission plans to develop a
 comprehensive organization in each of couraging the largest possible number of soldiers to participate regu!a>!y in
 some form of athletic activity during
 leisure time. Games and sports es- pecially adapted to camp life and con- ditions will be emphasized, and con- tests calling for the participation of large numbers of men in semi-military events will .be encouraged in addition to the more common = competitive games.
 ]. Instruction in boxing will be given at each of the cantonments, not only as a form of sport and recrea ton but because of it's relation to modern bay onet fighting. This was impressed upon officers at Fort Myer PIatts- burgh and other camps by Major Her man Koehler, West Point physical in structor, who said that the thrust" blow was similar to the bayonet jab with the full force of the body be- hind it; that boxing taught quickness

 It is doubtful if in the history of world series contests the pasteboards neces-

 SpecuIators Unable to Meet Demands
 For once in their tempestuous career the ticket spectators are forced to see prospective purchasers with fistfuls of bills seeking vaiTfly for the cards which will tomorrow separate the chosen and those who must remain outside the walls. Those fortunate spectators who have been able to secure tickets are reaping a golden harvest almost the equal of that gathered by the in vestors who picked up war bride'' stocks in the early days of the Europ- can war. Between them and the fan who would see the series at any price there is little or no arguing tonight. Once a vendor is found who holds the "open sesame" to Comiskey Field the transaction of parting him from his coupons is a matter of only a moment in most cases for the fan is apparent ly willing to pay any amount Five dollar seats for the three games with a face value of fifteen dollars sold as fifteen dollars sold as high as s75 and even these figures are likely to be sur passed if the weather is fair
 A local baseball authority estimated this evening that there would have been no difficulty in selling fully one hundred thousand seats for the opening games were 1t possible to seat that many spectators at the home of the White Sox. Thousands of orders have been turned back. ..
 Those who could have secured seats in the ordinary way paid the specu- lators their own prices as if money were no object. If they could not meet the latter's demands they might be certain of e;aining a choice seat in the IInreServed section of the stands At t/e hour when the staid citizen was homeward bound for dinner the lines were already forming outside White Sox Field.
 Although confidence was rampant among the camp followers of the two heavy wagering. Most of the betting was confined to sums ranging from five to twenty-five dollars and these were placed at or close to even money.
 Chief interest and uncertainty ap- peared to center on the selection of the rival pitchers for the first clash. The consensus of opinion among the ex- perts and fans was that Cicotte would lead the White Sox while the Giants would place their reliance in Grena- dier Schupp. Second choice leans to- wards Faber and Perritt.

 Players. magnates, ticket spectators and fans from the four corners of the country have been gathering on the shores of Lake Michigan for several days, and the stage Is set for what is expected to be a dramatic climax to the baseball season of 1917.
 To the cities concerned, especially Chicago as the scene of the opening conflict, the impending battle between the White Sox and the Giants is of paramount importance. It is the basis and source of unlimited controversy. The coming contest has been argued from every conceivable angle without the partisans of the two teams agree ing on any one feature of the play or the result.
