The four local scout troops, under the
direction of their scout masters, have

message and then pass it on to someone
else. With the pamphlet is a frauked

Tommy Atkins Opposed to
Noise With His Baseball

According to reports from abroad the
enthusiasm of the American and Cana
dian soldiers for baseball has begun to
have its influence on the British Tom
my, and in purely British camps
throughout England baseball is the
spring craze this year. At the front,
also, in rest camps and training quar-
ters, the British privates are taking
to the American national game. The
principal limitation to the spread OF
spring baseball is the difficulty of OBJ
tanning the necessary equipment.
american baseball has this advan-
tage over cricket and football" bright
ly observes British correspondent at
the front, snamely. that it can be
played on fairly rough ground"
Another correspondent notes with
some surprise that the game as played
by the Americans and Canadians is ac-
companied with a good deal of noise.
81 don't know whether Tommy will
adopt the barracking methods which
seem to be an essential accompaniment
to baseball from the American and
Canadian point of view" he says. "But
if he does, he viii probably outdo his
comrades from across the Atlantic IN
noise and fervor"
