Military Affairs were sidetracked to-
day for the District boys and sport

with more than 1000 visitors to watch
the gridiron proficiency OF the SOL

The Washingtonians had little chance
to cheer. for the Tenth New York In
fantry had team of seasoned football
warriors. and they rolled UP q points
while the Machine Gun Battalion was
trying In vain TO cross the Gotham
line.
Every man In the battalion Joined In
the parade to the field, which had
been laid out In the regulation lines BY
the Y. NJ. G. A. The New York crowd
has been organized and played to-
gether for some weeks, and In addl-
ton outweighed the men Of the Ma
chine Gun squad.
Considering these handicaps, the
District coaches were satisfied with
the showing Of the men, and feel con-
fident they have the nucleus OF
team that will be entered for the camp
championship.
Secretary Of War Baker, accom-
panied by Gen Tasker II. Bliss, chief
Of stan of the army. paid another
visit to the camp today and made q
personal inspection of some of the
quarters. They found everybody
thoroughly satisfied, and expressed
qualification at the manner In which
the new soldiers are taking hold Of
the work.

ing gloves was presented today by
the Griffith bat and ball fund. The
presentation was made by AdJt. Gen.
Donovan of the District. each COM

The Washington visitors today did
not forget to bring along delicacies
for this and every barracks had fits

morsels not included in the army

Cheers of Hundreds as Pastor Bitterly
Arraigns the German Ruler.

IT would rather be Judas in hell
than the Kaiser In his palace" cried
Rev. DR.. James L. Gordon, as the
elimination Of Q bitterly unsparing
arraignment of the German Emperor
and Prussianism. at the First Con-
gregational Church, last night.
The sermon, on the topic, Secrets
or the KAISER was the sequel to q
morning sermon, which. while not as
stirring az the one at the night serv-
ice, yet drew forth repeated evidences
Of whole hearted approval from his
congregation.
At the night service, the listeners
repeatedly cheered the scathing de-
nunciations DR.. Gordon heaped upon
the Kaiser's head. The speaker told
Of the Kaiser outside Paris, waiting

"And he's been going back ever

congregation stood up and rocked the
church with its cheers.
EITHER God is dead, or Germany Is
doomed" said DR.. Gordon, quoting
DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, the famous
preacher. This deduction. he showed,
was based on the Bible.
DR.. Gordon took for his text at the
morning service Dan 12:3, "And they
shall be wise, shall shine as the
brightness Of the armament; and they
that turn many to Righteousness, as
the stars forever and ever" At this
service he discussed modern trench
life and astrological predictions con-
cerning the end Of the war. He drew
a parallel between some of the prog
nostications and the events that have
followed. showing that the stars in

It has been characteristic of the

To attack them at their strongest
point OF resistance is sound strategy.
The DEFEATS inflicted upon them dur
ing the past fortnight are conclusive
indications Of allied superiority.
In the light OF past experience, II
may be premature to assert that the
British have succeeded in forcing a
decision, but 1t may be stated with
emphasis that in no engagement hith-
erto has such vfgor, energy and con-
certed speed OF action been displayed.
The full success Of these operations
means that the Belgian coast, with
its numerous submarine bases, will

Decatur and Ponder to Fight in the Last Game.
 Chicks Here Monday

Roy Ellam will send Art Decatur. his most efficient moundsmen of late, against the squirting Barons today in final effort to take at least one game of the series. The victory yesterday for the Barons made 1t seven wins out of the last eight games played.
 The Barons are once again within striking distance of the leadership. The New Orleans Pelicans dropped a contest yesterday to the Little Rock Travellers and this morning Moley and his men are in third place by only the very scant margin of one-half a game. The Chattanooga Lookouts are slightly over half game in the fore of the Moleys.
 Boss Moley will send Elmer Ponder the most effective hurler on the staff games and lost one Ponder was de- feated by the lowly Mobile Gulls on his last trip to the hill and 1t would not be surprising to see him come through with a victory today.
 The Vols depart from Birmingham tonight and the Memphis club will drop in on Monday to start 8 three- game clash The latter part of the week will see the Little Rock Travel CTS in camp

New York, May 4.-Although the war has eliminated the major portion of ath- letic competition throughout the Euro pean countries sport has not been en- tirely abandoned ard there is plenty of evidence to support the belief that there will be general revival of athletics fol- lowing the declaration of peace. Many close observers of the physical condition of the troops have stated as their opinion that the training necessary to fit the young man for the modern battlefield has produced a new type of European man. hood which will instinctively turn to sport with extraordinary zest as soon as arms are laid aside.
 It is a matter of record that many forms of athletic competition are con stantly being indulged in on all fronts, just back of the firing lines. and these games are particularly encouraged by both the French and English army au- thorities. Football, baseball, golf cricket, wrestling, boxing and footrac- ing are all participated in by the soldiers off duty and it is said that some markable performances are witnessed AtOiii tlillc lO tiuIo WlcIl lHS udildlteP5, under which the games are played, are taken into consideration.
 In the Scandinavian countries steady progress in the development of athletic standards is reported, notwithstanding the fact that these nations are far more affected by the great conflict than neu- trals at a greater distance. An example of the upbuilding and broadening of sport throughout this section of Europe is found in the recent Scandinavian athletic congress held at Stockholm.
 This congress was formed at the sug- geston of the Swedish Amateur Athletic union and was attended by representa- tives from the athletic organizations of Norway, Denmark and Sweden. At this conference it was agreed that the new body should have full charge of all ar arrangements looking toward athletic meets between these three nations or with teams from other countries which may later desire to compete against an all- Scandinavian combination.
 A committee was appointed to prepare a new code of eligibility and competi- tive regulations that will be uniform throughout Scandinavia. It was infor- mally announced that this step was deemed advisable in view of the ath- letic challenges which this association is prepared to issue following the close of the war.

None of the quartet has shown boxing skill equal to that pos- sessed by the champion. With the pos sible exception of Morris, Willard is easily superior in physical strength, ana has demonstrated ability to stand pun ishment with less discomfort and confu- sion of purpose, than any of the four leading contenders for chance at the heavyweight honors
 A number of the larger eastern colleges have awakened to the fact that they acted too hastily in declaring off all intercollegiate athletics, following the declaration that state of war existed. Intermural competition has been found to be failure as substitute and individual entries, or hastily rearranged schedules are being advocated to rectify the situa~ tior created by the first burst of na+ triotism.
