pretty poor anyway when it comes to

are the loves and devotions of human

Worlds Best Loved Trademark.
This war has made US think hard
and fast Your boy or your neigh
boris boy or some boy you know and
love has been called to do his share
in the big job OF policing the world for
democracy and human liberty. Is il
any comfort to you to know that wher
ever his duty may call him your boy
will nave a friend that will serve him
in body, mind and soul? Are you
glad to know that this friend viii place

organize classes to teach him what
ever he wants to learn, give him
pocket testament and invite him 10
join religious meetings of the faitl
that he was brought up in? Did you
realize that the association provides
athletic equipment for his favorite
games, teaches him games IL he knows
none and holds concerts, lectures
movies, Bible classes, dramatic enter
tainments and every kind OF whole
some amusement to keep him interest
ed? Are you glad to know that this
friend will go with him overseas, help
10 shield him from score of difficult
and dangerous temptations and follow
him right UP to the front line trench
and beyond IT? The last contact the
soldier has with this life he loves SO
well is cup of tea given him by the
Y NJ c. A. free just before he goes
"over the top" to hand to hand strug-
gle with the enemy And as he comes
tottering back from No Mans Land,
wounded, but strong enough and
plucky enough to keep on his feet,
even before his wounds are dressed

forts OF the man IN the trenches Do
you wonder that the Red Triangle is
called "the best loved trademark n
the world?" One soldier in France has
called It 'the last evidence that any
body cares"
If every thinking citizen could see
with his or her own eyes something
OF the actual work being done for our
men by the association there would be
no question OF the Y. NJ. C. A. having
to appeal to the public for money.

TIGER SQUAD TO START
TRAINING ON MARCH 10
First Delegation Leaves Detroit To-
morrow-Hughey Jennings, Man.
ager, Already at Camp.
CBy Associated. Press,l

Detroit, March 2.-Twenty-nine play
ers, including the mighty Cobb, are
expected to be on hand at Waxahachie,
Texas, the training camp Of the De-
troit Americans, when real work be-
gins on March 10. Cobb will report
earlier than usual as he wants to be in
shape for the games with the New
York Nationals, and is determined to
regain his place as batting king.
Manager Jennings already is at the
camp. He spent part of the winter in
Cuba playing golf but when the revo-
luton began to sizzle outside of Ha-
vana Hughey quit the island. The first
veteran to report to Jennings for the
1917 campaign was Oscar Stanage,
catcher.
Saturday, March 3. is the date set
for the first delegation to leave De-
troit for the Texas camp This squad
will consist of .Coveleskie, Boland,
James, Mckee and Yelle; Charles
Navin, secretary. and the newspapf-
men. At st. Louis the party will be
reinforced by several other ball play
ers The rest of the team will go direct
to Waxahachie from their homes.
Jennings expects to have the most
successful training season of a decade.
He has abandoned the old custom Of
playing "class @" clubs on the home
ward journey in an attempt to ac-
cumulate some doubtful cash, and this
year the Tigers and Giants will play
exhibition games on the way north
and, with fair break from the wealth
er man, Jennings expects to land his
team on the home lot in remarkably
fine early-season condition.

THE MEET
Will Be
BONEDRY
No Palm Room for Bowlers
at Grand Rapids-Prize
Money Nearly $34, 900

Chicago. March 1.-Two records may
be broken before the annual American
Bowling congress tournament is open
ed tomorrow night in the Coliseum at
Grand Rapids, Mich, for, according to
Judge" Howard Of Chicago, chairman
Of the prize committee. the money
available for return to the contestants
should reach the $4,000 MARYLAND
the meet will be "bone dry" Although
the figures are not yet available, 1t is
believed the money purse will reach
this amount, or pass it, for lis five-
man teams have been entered from all
parts Of the country, east, west, north
and south.
AS to the second record: There
never has been a big bowling tourna-
ment without the side show, or palm
room. Bowlers have said it would be
impossible to conduct tournament
without this adjunct. The Grand Rap
ids people say they have set out to
prove that 1t can be done. incidentally
improving the tone of the game.
Entries Include 715 Elves.
With the 715 ffve-man teams listed
there are 1883 double pairs and S,097
men have nominated themselves as
candidates for the $10.323 Of cash
ton.
One money feature excavated from
the mass Of statistics on Sec. Abe
Langtry's desk at Grand Rapids by
Howard on a trip there last week
showed Chicago to be ahead of all
other cities in money paid into the as
sociation's cCffers in entry money.
Howard drew a check for $685. for
Chicago's share, against $4,000 paid in
by the home town. although Grand
Rapids entered 1855 five-man teams to
Chicagos 124 teams. The difference in
entry money lies in the greater inter-
est Of Chicago men in the minor
events, and doubles and singles, which
require separate entry fees.
Will Roll on Sixteen Alleys.
The meet will be rolled on sixteen
alleys, which are about ready for in
spection. They are being laid by
Charles ("Chuck") Collier Of Chicago.
The drives are being laid about
six inches below the floor and Collier
saws it is the best foundation he ever
found upon which to set alleys.
Opening shots will come tomorrow
night, with city and association off,
Gals speechifying, dedicating the floors
to perfect scores and rolling the first
spheres down into the pins. A couple
Of carloads of new maple pins have
been delivered in the furniture city,
and, according to Collier. there will
not be a thing lacking. The meet will
continue to March q. including Sun
DAYS. For the first week the drives
will be held principally by Grand Rap
ids entries and special prizes have
been provided for them. The first
Chicago quintet to roll will be Charles
Crouse's Centrals from Cicero.
