Washington, April 6.-America sent

Based on conservative reports from
all sections, treasury officials predicted
the loan win be rolled to a staggering
total before closing time May 4.
The south responded early to call.
Numbers of small towns and several
entire counties reported ov~er-subscrip-

While war work went on unremit-
tingly in the capital, intense enthus-
iasm preveiled. The house of represen-
tatives broke forth in wild cheering
when ii was reported on the floor that
East Chicago, Ind, had "sold out" and

BY E. A. BACHELOR.

Paris, July % (by maii) What at
one time threatened to be a serious
famine in baseball bats among the
members of the American expedition
airy force in France has been averted
and the national game will flourish as
the green bay tree. The athletic, de-
partment of the Y. NJ. c. A. has solved
the problem and is now able to assure
ers that there will be no further
dearth of ash material. This doesn't
mean that men are to neglect the
ordinary precautions of holding the
grain the right way. Nor are they
to be encouraged to use the sticks for
firewood. But with reasonable con-
servation everything will be all right.
Bats UnfindabIe.
The Red Triangle folks found when
they first started to boom baseball in
France that it was not only impossible
to buy any considerable number of
bats in France, but that the French
woodturners hadn't any idea of how to
make them. A hurry call was sent to
the United States to ship some over,
but it seemed that the bats acted as a
sort of loadstone toward German SUBJ
marines and that every ship carrying
them sought a cool, soft spot on the
bottom.
The supply finally got so low that
the 7. NJ. c. A. realized it was a case
of teaching the Frenchmen to turn
out bats or getting along without
them. The alternative could not be
accepted because the rules require
that every man who goes to the plate
take club with him. 1t is part of
his toilet.
Misdirected Energy for Some.
OF course some players are just
carrying excess baggage when they
lug a mace I'D to the rubber They
never use 1t to any purpose. Left
handed big league pitchers, for ex-
ample, could save lot of time and
trouble by just announcing to the
umpire when their turn to hit comes
that they concede themselves out

They ought to concede him a two

nothing of conserving the supply sof

full ball club that didn't use its bats
occasionally for something besides
sartorial purposes. This was the
Chicago American league club of
1906, winners of pennant and a
worlds championship. These White
Sox were most remarkable people
and their ability to win without bat
ting, earned them the name of Hit

a safe bunt constituted a batting

ferred to in the home newspapers as
"Slugger" or Fence Buster"
Soldiers Aren't Like Sox.
But there aren't any such clubs as
soldier insists on having a bat, so
the Red Triangle either had to get
him one or confess its first failure OF
the war. Representatives of the
athletic department visited wood
working factories and with tears in
facturers to duplicate bats that were
Submitted as models. The French
men, thinking that this was some
new weapon invented by the Amer
leans to cave in the boche features,
said they would try. Their first eff
forts resembled the club affected by
Jack the Giant Killer, according to
the best illustrators. They were too
heavy for an ordinary man to lift
and were shaped like George MORT
arty's legs, which are so formed that
you can tell the ankle from the calf
only by noting which end the shoe
isAon.
For One Man Use.
The Americans thanked their
French friends kindly and assured
them that as facsimiles of the giant
Sequois tEeir bats were excellent, but
that the Yankee baseball rules require
the fail to be used by only one man at
a time. The Frenchmen tried again
and it wasn't long before they were
turning out as neat a job as Louisville
ever boosted. 1t was found that the
bats could be made to sell for a franc,
which is considerably less than a fair
stick costs in America. Possibly Ty
Cobb might pick some flaws in the
quality, but it is plenty good enough
for anybody except a most fastidious
slugger. And it is getting better all
the time.
