TO HELP GRIF'S FUND
Baseball Men at Louisville Vote to Set Aside One Day in June When Re ceipts Will Be Given.

Louisville, Ky. Nov. 15.-Clarh Griffith's Bat and Ball fund received a great impetus here yesterday when the members at the baseball conven- ton voted unanim ously to aid the sol diers. It was decided to set aside ono day in every league next June for the cause. After an appeal for aid by Griffith a resolution was introduced by A. R. Tearney, of Chicago. It called for the taking out of 25 per cent. of the gate receipts and the talk ing up of special collection for the fund.
 Griffith declared that he would make a similar appeal at the conven- tions of the American and National League magnates. Tt was our army that developed baseball during the Civil war, and between $75,000 and $1O0,00O will be necessary to provide the material for the American sol diers.' said Griffith.

Those Who Go Abroad
Must Pass Severe Eff
iciency Tests.
MANY LIKELY TO
BE ELIMINATED
Those of All Ranks, Even
Up to Major General,
Will Be Affected

Washington, Dec. 12.-Au general
officers OF the regular army and ma
tional guard are being examined by
medical boards ana efficiency boards
with = view to determining the
advisability OF sending them for
service abroad.
In announcing this step late yes
terday Secretary Baker said it was
necessary on account Of the unusual.
ly severe conditions Of service in this
war.
Commanders for American troops
at the lighting front are to be select
ed only after rigid investigation of
their physical and professional Mt
ness for their task. Early announce
ment OF the retirement or discharge
Of some OF the general officers is to
be expected. as medical boards al
ready have reported against men in
both the regular and national guard
services.
The general officers of the national
guard were taken into the federal
service with their state units with
out examination as 10 their profess
sIonal qualifications. Some OF them
had service on the border during the
guard mobilization and all OF them
have been under observation since
the guard was called into federal
service for the war.
The new order undoubtedly will
eliminate very considerable number
OF general officers even Of the grade
of major general It is understood
that no steps will be taken toward
the appointment OF lieutenant gem
erals as corps commanders until the
war department Is satisfied with the
result of its wedding out process
among the major and brigadier gem
erals. E
Today's announcement recalls the
fact that soon after the outbreak OF
the war France found Ii necessary to
shelve a large number OF officers OF
high rank and that a similar process
was followed later in the British
service.
Secretary Bakers statement car
ries a warning that no appeals from
the board would be permitted. The
board is to cut out with firm hand,
it is said, and with reliance on the
best Judgment OF the officers
constituting the boards.
