Baseball Most
Popular Sport
lnArmyCamps

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Athletic
sports have become So popular among
the American soldiers training in the
United States that the Commission on
training camp activities has found it
necessary to extend it's work along all
lines, and in some camps so many men
are reporting for play when free from
duty that it has been found necessary
to enlarge the athletic fields.
A summary of camp recreation is
sued to-day by the commission shows
that baseball is the most popular
sport. To encourage play full equip
ment has been sent to all camps, in
cluding more than 10000 balls and
5000 bats, while new diamonds have
been laid out in nearly every training
centre. Camp Lewis, Washington, is
using sixteen fields. Battalion, regi-
mental and r-regimental leagues
have been formed and it is planned to
have the camp champions meet in the
fall in post games wherever
possible.
Next to the national game, boxing
is proving the most popular recreation.
More than 5000 sets of gloves have
been sent to the men and so great has
become the demand for instruction
that in one camp alone more than 800
assistant instructors are kept busy.
Track athletics, golf, swimming, ten
mis- and polo have many followers.
while Sports which are proving popu-
lar include volley ball, push ball and
'cross--country running.

Grounds Games for Sol
diers' Athletic Fund
By A. c. Cavagnaro

Athletes of the Metropolitan Asso-
citation sped around an improvised
track on the turf and others boxed on
a canvas footing at the Polo Grounds
yesterday in a benefit carnival to pur-
chase athletic equipment for the SOL
diers in training at Camp Dix and Fort
Slocum. Almost 1000 spectators were
on hand and the donations to assist
the enlisted men were said to be in the
neighborhood of 81 400.
A baseball game between Camp Dix
and Fort Slocum terminated the festivi-
ties. with the New Rochelle boys scor-
ing a shutout over Camp Dix by a score
of 5 to 0.
Prominent army and navy officials
were in the stands: and among the city
officials who found much interest in
the sports was Robert l.. Bowling, Pres
ident of the Borough of Manhattan
popular victory was that of Charles
Pores, of Pelham Bay. the American
emile national champion, in the two
mile handicap run. Pandemonium
reigned among the members of the
Pelham Bay station on the final lap
as Pores came rushing past his rivals
to win by one yard. Joe McCabe. a
Pelham mate, gave Pores hard battle
in the last 100 yards. but found the
champion just little too speedy.

series of unusually close finishes. Jack

1ieGolf Match
With Nichols

A match Of more than unusual i'm
portance was played at the Great Neck
Golf Club yesterday between Gil
Nichols, the clubs former profess
sional, and George Mclean, their pres
ent professional. 1t was a thirty-six
hole match for purse of $4,000, and
with it there was a Red Cross collec-
ton.
The Red Cross made sure of their
money as they collected over $500 from
the gallery and they were still gather
ing in the money at lively rate when
the big match ended in tie, and after
long consultation it was decided to
play it over again at thirty-six holes
on some future date.
Neither Of the players was up to
his game in the, morning round. Nc
Lean seemed nervous before the big
gallery and Nichols seemed to have
things pretty much his own way, and
finished 4 up on the morning round.
and increased it to up in the after
noon, before Mclean cut loose and be-
gan to play brilliant golf. The gallery
grew very enthusiastic as Mclean cut

were on even terms at the fifteenth

in 1:l0.06. De Palma, satisfied with
this fast workout, then logged along
for fifty miles in order to tune up his
record smasher for the big 100-mile
race.
When the motor-wise heard of this
performance last night they imme-

Defeats Kramer
In Cycle Race

Willie Spencer, brother of Arthur.

prise of the cycling season at the Velo
Erome In Newark yesterday afternoon,
when before 1000 fans he defeated
Frank l.. Kramer in two straight heats
OF mile match race Arthur beat
Kramer last Sunday and then Willie
begged for chance to ride against
the East Orange star. The race was
agreed upon only with the stipulation
that the winner would take the entire
purse of $500. There was not one fan
in the entire crowd who thought Spen-
Ger had a "Chinaman's" chance of
winning.
In the first heat Spencer went at
Kramer lap and one-half from home,
riding the last eighth mile in, IL 4 5
seconds, the fastest at the Newark
track this season.
Kramer pulled one of the worst
"bones" Of his career in the second
heat, and this is what lost for him.
Going into the last lap he was in front
OF Spencer; he slowed up and looked
to see ii Spencer was going to try to
ride around him, but just as he looked
back Spencer came through on the in
side and dashed out in front. Krame
chased, but was a length back at the
finish.

of Newark, with a 81, 900 purse, Kramer,
Arthur Spencer and Bob Spears quail
fed. The final of this race will be de-
cided onu Memorial Day Kramer won
his heat by beating Jake Magin and
Reggie Mcnamara. Spears took the
measure of Eddie Madden and Willie

The baseball team of Fort Slocum.
with Ray Fisher. the famous Yankee
on the mound, MADE one inning prove
sufficient to defeat the Camp Dix
"Buffaloes' IN game at the Polo
Grounds yesterday. Massing their at
tack in the second frame the Slocum
batters scored five runs, while the Dix
players were held runless during the
contest.
While Fisher showed all his former
major league ability, the feature of
the game was the twirling of the rangy
Hubbard. The latter succeeded Jack
Abrams, who began for Camp Dix, in
the second, after Fort Slocum had
tailed all its runs. Hubbard was un-
steady at the outset, but later found
himself, to keep the Slocum soldiers
runless and hitless for seven and two
third innings. Hubbard had a total
OF fourteen strikeouts, retiring the
side in both the third and ninth frames
IN THIS manner in order.
Fisher held Camp Dix to four hits
only one of which was hit to the out
field. Coles, the Dix second ibaseman.
