500 Midshibn1en Ont for

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 1.-THE opening
note Of the football season of 1918
was sounded at the Naval Academy on
Thursday, when Gilmour Dobic, head
coach, started work with a big squad
of members Of the new fourth class.
There will be more than 200 candidates
for the team from this class which is
the largest in the history Of the acad-
envy, and about 500 have expressed a
desire to play the game this fall. AS
only small proportion of this number
can be handled on the main squad. or
even the class squad some scheme Of a
sseries among teams formed from the
class is being considered.
The entrance age at the Academy is
low, so that midshipncn Of much
weight, az we'll as those with college
experience, are not numerous. How
ever, there is q fair representation OF
heavy men, and few who have played
on college or university teams. The
percentage Of those who have gained a
good general knowledge Of the game

Dobie divided the candidates into
groups according to height. and there
were about ten who classed themselves
es over $50 pounds. This number will
be increased end the whole squad
about doubled when those now engaged

leased. Some Of these have had more

Best Harness Meeting Since
Open Betting Days
By Frank S. Cooke

Poughkeepsie, where trotters and
PAGERS have put up some notable scraps
in years agone, is the scene this week
of the Grand Circuit activities, and
since the days of open betting in New
York State this looks to be the best
meeting the harness racers provided
for entertaining votaries of their sport.
There is great deal of credit due
the old oval for the part it has played
in racing. Time and again the eastern
end Of the Grand Circuit has been very
shaky, and but for the loyalty Of a
galaxy of New York and Poughkeepsie
sportsmen it must have come q cropper.
At very few, if any, of these meetings
was money made by the management,
but the promoters figured it a duty
and let it go at that. But with good
weather this week it should be a sue
cessful affair from all angles.
In the first place, the stakes which

Leonard and Lewis Plan
Strenuous Irainin G

Benny Leonard, the lightweight
champion. and Ted -("Kid") Lewis, the
welterweight king will start training
this week for their eight-round battle
at Wiedenmayer's Park, Newark, on
the night of September 10. Although
the boxers have over three weeks to
round into condition, both are anxious
to be at their very best and will settle
down to work Immediately.
Leonard will do his training at Billy
Grupp's Gymnasium, in Harlem, while
Lewis plans to do his work at Atlantic
City. Although Leonard and Lewis
have received many offers to box dur
ing the next three weeks, both have
turned them down, and each will de-
vote his entire time to conditioning
himself for this bout.
During verbal battle hat preceded
the signing of the articles, there was
some discussion regarding the referee,
but at the suggestion of Jack Hurley,
who is aiding the Jersey prom ters in
staging the bout, it was decided that
the fighters meet again on Septembe Der
to settle this end.

The following is an article which ap-
peared recently in Red Cross Clip
pings" and will be of special interest
TO trained nurses who are considering
the matter of Offering their services to
the Red Cross:
Miss Jane A. DelanO, director Of
the bureau of nursing Of the American
Red Cross, points out TO nurses the IN
usual opportunities offered by the in
surance law, enacted for the protection
Of our army and navy. The provisions
Of the insurance bill apply equally to
nurses assigned TO duty as members Of
the army and navy nurse corps, and
make it possible for the nurse to Sc
cure, at nominal rates, protection for
herself as well as for designated men,
bers Of her family dependent upon
her.
"a great responsibility rests upon
the nurses of the country continues
Miss Delano. They are the only group
of women recognized as a part of the
military establishment. While thou
sands and thousands Of nurses will be
needed, the number is relatively small
compared with the number of women
In America who should stand back Of
them and make possible the service for
which they are so greatly needed at
this time.
''The nurses who share in the hard
ships, the dangers and the privations
incident to war should be looked upon
as the representatives Of the woman
hood OF America at the front, and
these women who stand ready to sac
rifice all, even their lives If necessary,
should receive the sympathy, the sup
port and the interest of the millions Of
women whose husbands, brothers and
sons are fighting for the safety Of the
country. Not only should the women
Of the country encourage nurses who
have this blessed opportunity for serv-
ice to volunteer promptly, but they
should make every effort possible to
protect the nurses holding themselves
ready for service and share with them
the responsibility and sacrifices neces-
sary.
"a special appeal is made there
fore to the nurses of America TO vol
unteer at once through their nearest
local committee on Red Cross nursing

There is almost q distracting va
hety in sweaters and sweater-coats to
choose from this season. And along
with them sleeveless satin and velvet
sports coats have entered the race for
consideration, and sleeveless coats of
silk jersey. All Of which goes to
prove that sweater, or sports coat
or both-are indispensable I'm the
wardrobe of today and that one can
afford to think twice and then think
again before making a final choice
among them.
Where not much In the way Of
warmth is really wanted of the sweat
er and it is worn more for smart style
than anything else, the new short,
hand-knitted, slip-overs are apt to
win approval. They are made of
heavy zephyrs, in gay colors and knit
ed on large needles. Turquoise blue
and rose pink are favorites for them
and one sees an occasional jade green.
Nearly all of them have white knit
ed collars. 1t Is left to the individ-
ual to decide for or against sleeves
and If the sleeves win, then white
knitted cuffs are theirs by right.
These sweaters fit the figure some
what closely and are worn with white
kid belts. They are much shorter
than the sweater and sweater-coat
shown in the picture, extending only
eight to ten inches below the waist
line.
The knitted sweater pictured is
machine-made garment, with wide
sailor collar. deep cuffs and short
girdle all knitted, but in a coarser
and heavier stitch than the sweater.
