PLAN TO TRAIN
YOUNG men FOR
U. 5. SERVICE
"Y" Director at Forks to
Drill Classes-Seeks AS
ISOLATION Approval:

Grand Forks. N. D., April 11.-TC
prepare young men for military train
ing through physical development, c
c. Carpenter director of the gymn-
asium classes of the local Y. M. c. A
is willing to devote his time to drill
ing young men Of the city who con-
template joining the colors.
The plan as at present outlined
would result in the conducting OF
classes in one of the local parks
Every young man in the city who is
eligible to become a member OF the
army or navy would be permitted to
enter a class without cost to himself.
Statistics show that only 81 per
cent of the men who take physical
examinations under government sup
erVision are enrolled in the army,
while in the marine corps only 8 per
cent were physically strong enough
to be accepted.
Statistics also show that through
recreative diversions and special
drills conducted in Y. M. G. A. insti-
tutions and elsewhere. hundreds of
the men who were at first refused en-
listment later returned and entered
the service.
The result ofSphysical training has
been made apparent during the past
winter at the Y. NJ. CA, where over
100 business men and older boys have
shown wonderful development through
the medium of exercising under the
direction of Mr.. Carpenter. That the
same work could be carried out in a
wider scope. and even greater benefits
be derived through outdoor peform-
ance. is the contention of the director.
who Is willing to start the work at any
time. providing the approval of the
association is given. and enough young
men are interested.

!. PINK TEA
TACTICS
Ball Players Should Be
Friends Off Field, But
Enemies on, says Clarke.
CBy Associated Press,)

Louisville, KY, April 11.-Fred
Clarke, winner OF four National league
remnants, and one worlds champion
ship with the Pittsburgh club of the
National league, deplores the pink
tea" tactics that have found their way
into baseball.
The game, he says, lacks aggressive
ness; there is too much brotherly love
and fraterniZing among the players.
Players on opposing teams should be
friends, he maintains, but not in the
ball park. Clarke is in Kentucky on
business, and expects to remain for
some stime.
1.-The fight between Ty Cobb and
Herzog in Dallas will do more to draw
crowds than anything else that could
have happened" Clarke said. "Of
course, do not approve of fstic fight
ing on the field, as was staged at Dali
las. but i would like to see more ag-
gressiveness and less Of this brotherly
love stuff. ~
Golf is overrated.
Clarke believes that golf is vastly
overrated as a means for improving
the hitting of baseball player.
THE golf itself does not hurt a
mans batting, and may improve it.
But I think that a player has all he
can do to play ball for six months
without looking for more work. That
extra exertion spent in trudging
around, golf course is too much, if
you are playing ball. If man should
play golf all morning he would sap
up energy that should be expended
at the ball park in the afternoon.
THAT is why never played golf
as long as was in baseball. Since
/ retired in 1915, however, have TAX
en- up the game and play a great deal"
Concerning the retirement of Hans
Wagner, the veteran shortstop of the
Pittsburgh club, Clarke said that Wag-
ner could go back ninety per cent and
still be above the average player.

Sport suits of light-colored cloths or
mixtures have the military short coats
braided with black soutache braid, with
a gold thread running through it. Some
are fitted without belts or have belts
to match, others have the black, woven
silk, tubular sash like those worn with
dress uniforms of army officers. This
style of coat is likely to doom summer
furs, as trim lines give the coats their
smart appearance. Short silk coats will
be much worn for limousine riding, as
they shake light dust easily and are
sufficiently warm for town wear.

VIII BE interesting
The special election will be particu-
larly interesting for two reasons:
First, pacifism may be made an issue,
and the district will have an opportun-
ity to go on record. Helgesen was an
ardent pacifist. If the First district
favors pacifism on the eve of war. 1t
will elect man of Helgesen's policies
If, on the other hand, it believes in
preparedness. more belligerent can
didate may be expected to win.
In the second place, the election will
offer real opportunity to observe
whether the league, as is freely pre-
dicted, is slipping. If the league is
holding its own, 1t should have no diff
ficulty in electing it's candidate, pro-
Viding he is not altogether impossible.
which in the light of past events would
seem an impossibility. If the league
trict its one great stronghold, and with
every possible factor in its favor, then
it will be very safe to conclude that
Townley has lost his grip.
Must BE Advertised.
Section 1893 of the compiled laws of
1913 requires the governor to proclaim
a special election when vacancy oc-
ours in a congressional district. Sec
ton 9S3 of the 1918 laws provides that
such election shall be advertised on4s
q week for four successive weeks. 1t
1t probable, therefore, thatSthe special
election will not be held earlier than
Tuesday, May 8, and it Is quite likely
to be a week later.
