u. S. A. Establishes
School for 10000
Soldiers Abroad

West Point excited the admiration
of every foreign visitor who was
privileged to inspect 1t. The most
fre0uent comment was "a great
school" The word "great" meant In
quality: for West Point relatively is
not large.
But Somewhere in France"
America is erecting a school which
IN a double sense will be great
in fact it will be the largest school
az war ever conceived, unless the
whole theatre Of war Is considered as
q school,.
It is estimated that 10000 stu
dents will be trained in this school
at one time. Situated in the vicinity
of a town whose Roman walls still
stand. the school will command q
6eId-glass view Of ali parts OF the in
stitution.
Already the work of instruction
hae heen begun, and the school will
he extended to its full scope as rap
idly as possible.
Glasses have been established in
trench mortar work; anti-aircraft ar
tilIery: anti-aircraft machine gun OPP
erati0ns and sanitary work. Com
nlete divisional units train at one
time.
Glasses for the training OF enlisted
men for commissions are also being
conducted now. From this school Of
flcer casualties viii be replaced.
Soon classes in automatic weapon
operation and other phases OF In
fantry fighting will be opened. In
these classes officers will be taught
so that they may return to their COM
mands as well equipped instructors.
With the arrival Of some tanks
that are expected soon, q school OF
tank warfare will be opened.
Most of the instructors are French
and British, but few Americans are
members of the faculty.

RED CROSS EAGER TO
SHOULDER SOLDIERS
DOMESTIC WORRIES

No soldier or sailor need worry
during his absence in camp or in the
trenches about the folks back home,
u ne will but refer his troubles or
anxieties to the Red Cross. He has
only to apply to the Field Director of
Eed Cross Supplies Service In his
camp, or, in the absence of such q
director, write to the Home Service
Bureau at any one Of the thirteen
Division Headquarters Of the Red
Cross In the United Etates-for ex-
ample, the Potomac Division. $50
S2-14th Street, N. W., Washington,
D. Cor else to the Civilian Relief
Department at National headquarters
OF the American Red Cross at Wash
tngton.
No matter how he does It, the word
Will be forwarded to the Red Cross
Chapter wherever his family may be,
with the request that Home Service
worker visit the home and report
back to him in due time.
Is there sickness in the family? 10
mortgage on his house coming due?
Is his wife or mother inexperienced
In handling money? Is he uneasy
about one OF the children who was
not doing well in school, or was in
clined to be hayward? Has he not
been hearing from home? Does he
wish to send reassuring personal
message to a mother, or wife, or lit
tie children, or any one else near
and dear?
Letters and communications Of this
kind are now beginning to pour
through the Red Cross national, di-
visional and chapter Offices; and
thousands OF Home Service workers
are going daily on these personal err
rands of service and good will.
Nobody knows better than does the
Red Cross, that even though "Uncle
Sam" is a good paymaster, sending
his checks, as he does, for allotments
and allowances and indemnities and
insurance, nevertheless he and his
money cannot make up for the alb
sence of husband. father, son, broth
err; and, for the very good reason
that the soldier in camp or at the
front is and was more than pay
master or breadwinner or a bank de-
post. He was the companion, the
advisor, the general factOtum OF the
family.
The whole idea of the Red Cross
is to serve as a go-between when and
wherever needed; but, along with
this, to be everything possible in the
absence Of the man of the household
to supply his place; carrying good
cheer, heading of trouble, helping to
maintain a proper standard of living.
and looking forward to family re-
union when the homecoming soldier
returns to find his loved0ones no
worse off, If not indeed better of
than at the time of his call to the
colors.

YALE FOOTBALL MEN MUST
 LEARN BOXING SAYS COACH
Tad Jones Orders Gridron Stars to Join Squad of
 University Instructor

New Haven, Feb. 5-Mosey King boxing instructor at Yale, will play an important part in the condition ing process of the Blue football squad according to the present plans o1 Head Coach Tad Jones. A few days ago Jones came out strongly in ia vor of boxing as a conditioning exer- else for football men and urged thai every athlete spend some time in the manly art of self-defence.
 Yesterday, however, the word pass ed around the Yale campus that Jones has made boxing a part of the conditioning routine for football men This edict means that boxing training is compulsory for all football candi- dates.
 Head. Coach Jones firmly believes that the conditioning of athletes is the one important factor in the moulding together of championship team. Players out of condition, &C., cording to Jones have no place on the football squad. It is his plan to have the candidates keyed up to the pitch of superlative fitness when the 1917 season opens and he has instructed his aides accordingly.
 One of the main reasons for the success of the Yale team last season was the splendid condition of the men. This point was satisfactorily demonstrated in the game with Har- yard when only one substitute was used

Sporting Chatter

Yale footballers are advised to keep in condition by wrestling and boxing which is like advising a chess master to train by playing crokinole.
 A baseball strike causing a general shutdown would be a terrible blow to the holders of such stocks as Peanut Growers common and Pop preferred.
 If all of the 1917 crop of baseball phenoms should turn out to be as good as advertised, the major league mag mates wouldn't Have to worry if all the regulars quit.
 Nobody ever goes to sleep when Billy Sunday is preaching, but at that he hasn't got anything on boiler factory.
 The managers of the Reds this year will be the officials and stockholders of the club, the sport writers of the four daily papers, Dave Fultz, the Cincinnati fans, and Christy Mathew son.
 While the salaries of ball players in the big leagues average vastly higher than in the early days of the profes- sional game, there were famous stars even forty years ago who commanded pay called fabulous" Tn the early days of the National league and it's predecessor, the National association the rank and file received from. $6O to 500 per month ''and found,'' but there were stars who got as high as $75 to $100 per game.

Ike Weir and Trimmer
 Were Big Favorites
 With Old Fight Fans

This is the birthday anniversary of two of the greatest little boxers of a former pugilistic generation-Ike ONeil Weir, who was born near Belfast, Ireland, Feb. 5, 1868, and Billy Plin- mer, who was born in Birmingham, Eng, exactly a year later. Weir made quite a reputation in Ireland and Eng land before coming to America in 1886. The following year he fought 61 round draw with Jack Havlin in Rhode Island, a IT round draw with Johnny Murphy in Boston, and a 20 round draw with Tommy Warren, the American featherweight champion, in Minneapolis.
 After that bout he was recognized as featherweight champ, and in 'S9 he fought an 80 round draw with Frank Murphy, the English champion, in In- diana. He lost the title to Australian Billy Murphy in 1890, but was again recognized as champion until George Dixon forged to the front.
 Trimmer, after several victories in England, came to America in 1S92,and won the bantamweight championship of the world by defeating Tommy Kelly, the Harlem Spider" at Coney Island.
 He also whipped Jerry Barnett and Joe McGrath, and then defeated the great George Dixon in a four round bout in New York. Tn 1894 he fought a 25 round draw with Johnny Murphy in New Orleans In 1895 he returned to England, and suffered the only der feat of his career at the hands offPed- lar Palmer.

OLD NEW HAVEN STAR,
 HAS FINE RECORD

Roger Peckinpaugh, the able short stop of the New York Americans, is 26 today, having been born on Feb. 5. 1891, in Wooster, O. Roger spent his youth in Cleveland, and when he was only IS he made, quite reputation with a City league club in the Buck eye metropolis. In 1910 Jim Mcclure, then pilot of the Cleveland Americans, gave Roger a chance to shine in fast company, but after playing in few games he was sent to New Haven.
 His work at short in the Connecticut league was so good that in August he was recalled to Cleveland, but in 1911 he was optionally released to the Port land Beavers. After great season in the Coast circuit he returned to tho Sixth City, in 1S12;,,,r but in May, of 1913 he was traded to New York. He soon became a favorite with the Gotham fans, was made captain of the club, and served as manager pro tenn. in the latter part of the .1914 season, when Frank Chance deserted the club. Peek is not brilliant star, but a good, dependable player, and while not a slugger his wallops usually have the virtue of timelinesS.

SHARPE-BENNETT BATTLE THURSDAY
 SHOULD BE GOOD

About the only boxers on the card
 of the East End A. c. show who are strangers to local fans are Johnny
 Bennett and Johnny Sharpe of this city. All the others, with the excep- ton of Knockout Eggers and his re- putation has preceded him, are
 known to Bridgeport enthusiasts. Bennett and Sharpe are scheduled to meet in a six round bout at Thurs day nights show. Bennett, who haiis from Newark, N. J., is working out
 at Levinsky's camp in Stratford and is said to have made hit with the
 experts there. Sharpe has battled
 at some of the smaller clubs here but
 has not yet acquired much fame. He is said to be a conner, however.
 There is no doubt that the star
 bout, in which Young McAuliffe and Knockout Eggers will clash, will be
 sizzler. Eggers has been after Mac
 for long time. He is classed as a topnotcher in New York clubs and may surprise McAuliffe. The latter may be depended upon to furnish
 good battle, though.
 In the semi final Red Allen of this city will take on Al Ketchel. The latter claims he is in much better condition than when he met Frankie
 Conifrey at the Casino. Allen is a hard hitter and Ketchel must show
 something to beat. A ten round af- fair between Tommy Shea of New Ha- ven and Pepper Martin of this city
 should prove exciting. They gave a great exhibition at last months show here The East End card has attract ed great attention and a large at- tendance is expected.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-02-05

During the latter years of Yale's
 slump in football some of the players were flayed for their failure to keep in condition. Time and again the
 players committed fragrant violations
 of the training rules. Under the new
 regime, however, the players will have to toe the mark, as Jones is sin cere in his desire to prevent disaster, if it is to be laid to the poor condi- tiOn of the men, The first boxing sessions for the football men will be held on Febru-
 ary 12, and all candidates for the
 team have been notified to that eff feet. The daily boxing drills will be
 held until the Easter vacation. Up-
 on the return of the students from
 their Easter vacation the squad will
 put in three weeks of spring foot
 ball.
 Whep Coach Jones played football
 he was member of the boxing class. Other football stars who took up box ing as a conditioning exercise includ- ed Howard Jones' Ham Andrus, Dutch , Goebel and Johnny Fitzpatrick, all powerful football men. Capta1n-elect Art Gates is also a firm believer in boxing as 8 h-builder.
 The plan of Coach~ Jones, while somewhat of an experiment, is ex-
 pected to bring the required results according to football nen. Up at Harvard, in recent years, the best football players have been members of the boxing squad.

ST. JAMES FIVE
 l. TO PLAY RIBBONS TOMORROW. NIGHT

The crack St. James Triangle Five of New York, will make the first visit of the season to this city tomorrow night when the Blue Ribbons will tackle the New York players at Co., 1onial hall The Ribbons have play ed several close games with the Stl James boys in past seasons.
 This year the St. James manager has strengthened the outfit by sign ing Reich of the Jersey City five and Leo Malone of the same Saggrega- ton. Norman has always been noted for his foul shooting and the fans will want to see how he compares with Andy Sears of Reading who made such a hit last week. Leo Malone of the Jersey City five plays center for the St. James five and Barry of Stamford is also one of the players. Jimmy Clinton of the Rib- bons expects to be in shape so the locals will be able to put their reg u1ar team on the floor.

 there had been a blizzard outside.'' Fulton boxed 12 rounds in all with
 AL Palzer. When those two pull on

 When Fulton left the gymnasium for his cottage he bundled himself | up in a great coat that had been sent to him by young Jim Hill, the railroad magnate.
 It was the gaudiest thing ever seen l in training camp. It was streaked

 INTERC0L LLEGiATE
 BASKETBALL RACE

New York. Feb. 5.-With the first round of the Intercollegiate Basketball league championship series completed, the college fives begin this week the second half of. the schedule, with Princeton leading in the face for the title, with record of four games out of five played. Yale and Pennsylvania are tied for second, with three games won and one lost. and unless the unex- pected happens the championship will fall to one of these three, with the odds fayoring the Tigers.
 Ortner, of Cornell, is leading the league in the number of points scored, with a total of 7S for six games, or an average of 8 for a game.
 Cornell has scored more baskets than any team in the league, with a record of 63 baskets, or an average of 1O1h baskets per game; but Yale has the best scoring outfit, with 50 goals for four games, or an average of 12 s per game.

 With Harvard and Yale football players both ordered to take boxing lessons the fans are likely to see some great exhibitions of left jabs and hooks when the teams meet next sea- son.
 Although it is generally supposed that declaration of war would have a bad effect upon baseball it did not hurt the game in Toronto and Mon- treal last season. In spite of the fact that these cities sent many soldiers across the sea the crowds at the Baseball parks were better than in some previous years.
 Les Darcy will begin to think this country is the land of milk and honey after all. He will go to the country estate of Grant Browne in Goshen, N. Y., next week to start training for his bout with Al Mccoy. It is not ex- pected the New York legislature will repeal the boxing law before next month, when the Darcy Mccoy. bout is scheduled. \~
 Johnny Evers, the Braves inf1elder, says he wants to become a baseball writer when he passes out of base hall. Johnny probably has a long list of people he would like to roast.
 The New York boxing managers don't care who wins in the ring so long as their boys get credit in the newspapers for the victory Some body told Damon Runyon that Al Mccoy got a decision over Hugh Ross in this city and Damon printed it in the New York American today.

BILL HARDEN OF
 GIANTS WAS BEST. BARGAIN OF FEDS

One of the biggest bargains picked up in Harry Sinclair's Fed league player store last spring was Bill Rariden. The veteran backstop was worth every cent McGraw paid for him, and then some, which is more than can be said of some of the other Fed stars who brought much higher prices. Bill is 29 years old today, and it is safe to predict that he has quite a lot of good catching left in his system.
 Born in Bedford, Ind, Feb. 5, 1888, Rariden has remained loyal to the Hoosier state, of which he is still a citizen. He was about eight years ola, when he began to play baseball, and he has been backstop ever since. At High school in Bedford he was a star at both baseball and football, and after graduating he realized his youthful ambition, which was to become a gall lant fire laddie. He had become cap- tain of a hose company when he was induced, 10 years ago, to join the Can-- ton, O., club. He remained with Can ton until 1909. when he, was purchased by the Braves.

New York, Feb. Erred Fulton Goshen yesterday. A dozen scribes journeyed to Brownleigh Park, Grant Hugo Browne's estate, to watch the giant go through his paces for the Weinert bout. Fulton took his guests in tow and showed them over nook and corner of the horseman's beauti- full $500 acre estate.
 '"This is training in kingly fashion" :" said Fulton. .I can't get used to it,'' the visitors into the palatial harness room, where Browne has fitted up a gymnasium for both Fulton and Darcy.
 "I don't suppose that any boxer ever trained at a finer place than this,'' continued Fulton. There isn't better gymnasium in the country than this very room. There's the new shower bath. It isn't finished as yet There is nothing I want that MT. Browne isn't willing to put in for me. I'll take you over to the eight-room cottage that he has turned over to me for living quarters.
 "If a man can't get into condition with surroundings like this then he never will. For instance: You fe1- lows found the road covered with ice as you made your way from the de- pot. I did this morning.
 'Now, ordinarily that gives us fel- lows a fright, for it takes a pretty sure footed heavyweight to trot along on top of that stuff without turning an ankle. Icy roads are nothing in ourour young lives at this camp. Out there in the stable, under a warm roof circling the stalls. is a quarter of a mile exercise track on which
