BASEBALL HEADS CAN'T
AFFORD TO FORGET WAR

brought to bear on professional
athletes that most of them were
forced to enlist. Even now the
National Sporting club Of London
the oldest institution of its kind
in the world, has informed Ameri-
can boxers that ,Laless they come
in uniform they need not expect
to be permitted to box before its
members.
The attitude of American box
ers, many Of whom have proved
themselves slackers, has dealt the
game a blow already from which
1t may never recover.
Baseball magnates must watch
their step-the same thing can
easily happen to them and their
game.
The patriotic action of Herr
mann in sacrificing an ideal train
ing camp for one which will give
pleasure to the soldiers; the big
campaign conducted by Clark
Griffith at large personal expense
and incalculable work to provide
soldiers with baseball parapher-
MALTA; the voluntary enlistment of
many stars; the donations of
Charles Comiskey of 10 per cent
OF his gross receipts to the Red
Cross-these will help baseball
and will not be forgotten in the
final reckoning.
Other magnates should fall in
line.

Richie TO

Willie Richie, former light
weight king, will make his first
appearance in the boxing ring at
Camp Lewis at a smoker to be held
in the near future.
The smoker will take place in
the government theater which Is
under process of construction and
will be held soon after the open
ing Of the playhouse.
Funds derived from the smoker
will be used by the athletic coun-
Gil to pay Indebtedness on the

Perhaps no more patriotic move
could have been made In baseball
than that of the Cincinnati club
in changing its training quarters
from Shreveport, La, to Mont
gmery, Ala, to be in position to
play exhibition games with and
furnish amusement for the SOL
diers in camp at Camp Sheridan.
In making the change Garry
Hermann disregarded many ad-
vantages he might have had at
Shreveport for the pure patriotic
reason of furnishing sport and en-
tertainment for the soldiers.
The Reds have trained in
Shreveport for many years, and
have found 1t one of the most ideal
camps in the south. The players
have made friends there, hotel &C
commodations are excellent, a
good ball park and club house Is
at their disposal and the weather
in March is usually delightful. The
latter cannot usually be said about
the Alabama capital.
Baseball is facing a supreme
test thru the duration of the war.
Its popularity at the end OF the
war, should the conflict last two
or more years, is problematical
and the attitude Of magnates will
have a great deal to do with the
outcome.

ADJUSTMENTS
Sherry Smith and Joe jenkins Are Out For ScaZps

"Battrez fer tuhday's game, fer
Camp Gordon. Sherry Smith and
Jenkins"
And the soldiers who face this
battery will have cause for appre-
sensiOn, for Camp Gordon Is al
ready planning to build its baseball
club around two world series stars,
Sherrod Smith, formerly OF the
Brooklyn Dodgers and Joe Jen-
kins, Of last years champion White
SOx.
Jenkins didn't get into the world
series last year mainly on ac-
count of a her we'll known per-
son by the name of Ray Schalk,
but he was considered one of the
liveliest young catchers in the
league and would have been a reg
ular with many another club which
did not boast of Schalk.
Smith was the losing hero of the
1916 world series when he pitched
land should have won a Aiming
game against the Red Sox, the
|game being thrown away by Rob-
ins0n's erratic infield.
There's ore team down cast,
however, that even Smith and
jenkins can be leery of. It's
from the Boston Naval Re-
serves and I'm the lineup will
be Jack Barry at Second base,
Ernie Shore for the first
string pitcher Mike McNa!ly
at short and Chick Shorten in
the Outfield.
Very few of the camps will be
sighted when it comes to good
ballplayers in the spring. Men are
being called from the big league
ranks every day and perhaps 200
major and minor league players
are, already in service.
