GAS MASK DRILLS
AT CAMP HANCOCK
TESTS ARE HARD
Pennsylvania Soldiers Are
Being Instructed in I'M
portant Work

Camp Hancock, augusta. Ca
March 5.-With the fate of the
American heroes who died recently In
France in a gas attack by the Ger
mans in mind, no effort is to be lost
to make the Twenty eighth Division
at Camp Hancock as immune from
the deadly fumes as application 10
training can accomplish. They are
to be taught every phase OF gas
attack and how to resist II.
When they get across, the Fehn-
sylvania Sammees will be able to ad-
lust a gas mask within six or elsht
seco ads, thus practically obliteratinS
the danger from the atrocious war
weapon.
Gas mask drill is being given reg
ularIy by the division gas instruc-
tor Captain Lee Stone. and his as ,
sisIants. among whom are numbered
members of the French and BRUSH
military missions assigned to camp
hancock.
Thorough Training
Not alone are the men oelne
taught how to adjust gas mask,
hut they are shown how to do II
r.rorerly and are put through the or
deal of experiencing the actualltles
of a gas attack by going into the
cas- chamber filled with asphyNlatlns
fumes. With the gas masks on, tne
soldiers are free from danger. IL Is
lust another way of getting theH
accustomed to what they will run
into when they get "over there.
Gas drill is one of the most inter
esting of drills at the camp ana, as
if is in a way akin to self-presetNd-
tion methods. the PennsylVanlans

How to Detect Gas
Another phase of the gas defense
drill that is to be undertaken oy
the division is the ascertainlng OF
the presence of gas. This, most
important part, requires the atteh-
tion of a specialist, who. with hee"
and alert olfactory organs, can ue-
terminc the approach of the gas
fumes and sound the warning III

inst their masks before the gas
cloud arrives. -. +he

Petty Evasion

CEcRETARY BAKER, leaning backward to be
- utterly fair to baseball after the heads of the
major leagues had made punk show of them
selves in excusably emitting to present their case
adequately to the provost marshal says that the
may continue jas it is until September 1. So baseball
announces that it will close its after September g.
and then play the customary worlds SERIES
In this petty evasion of fair and consderate rul-
ing will perceive precisely the spirit of baseball
todaythe thickheaded tactics that sooner or later
will disgust every with the conduct of the national
game, as they have already sickened many.
If there any disposition obey the strict letter
of Secretary Bakers ruling the worlds seres if it
played at ALL would be arranged it could be COM
peted by September /, and the game would be tenn
porarly sheved with honor. But baseball has been
petted and spoiled until it has to greatly over
estimate it's Importance; much so that even a
kind government order apparently is be evaded that
a few dollars may not escape.
With luck baseball may yet close down, so far as
men between twentyone and thirty-one years of age
concerned and retain shred of it's erstwhle honor
and prestige but it looks though it is going to take
lot of luck in the absence of quality sometimes re-
ferred to brains.

~ advantages of the single track and we believe he
is thinking of Manager John Joseph McGraw. The
chaotic condition of baseball has not caused Mr. Nc

portant thing to do is to overtake the Chcagoans be-
fore baseball passes out probably for the duration of

Thanks to the excellent pitching of Cecil Algernon
Causey and the efficient manner in which Joe Whot
and jim Thorpe have filled Benny Kaufs shoes, the
Giants still the best team in the National League

that both the Cubs and the Giants will finish the cur

that time they will catch and pass the Cubs
The 1918 Giants will be remembered as an odd
combination. First they too good be true and
then too bad to be true We were not deceived over
the quality OF the McGravan pitching in early season.
and later when things going badly we were sure
they would right themselves But at times the Cubs
seemed to have assmiated something of the spirit the
Boston Braves had in 1914 and as such they were un
beatable 1t looked then though the recipe for

first class shorstop and catcher That's what Boston
had in 1914 and what the Cubs have this year
But genuine merit and balance cannot be eternallv

catch the Cubs yet.

Baseball and Slang

short stories He the catchy possibilities in those
phrases
The other day, quoting from 1.-THE London Morning
Post, we said the English journalists idea of Amer-
can baseball slang needed general overhauling which
has elected the following from Mr.. Wodehouse:
Dear Mr. Arms; Business of defending the Eng

first Book of Fables that the fan would come home
evening after another, with his Collar Melted and
tell his Wife that the Giants made the Colts look like
