INDOOR BASEBALL IN FAVOR
English and French Soldiers Enter In
to Game With Enthusiasm
Easier to Learn.

Baseball as played indoors during
the winter. In The United States is
proving popular among allied soldiers
in France. 1t is played out of doors,
but the large indoor ball is used and
the rules of indoor baseball adhered
to. 1t seems an easier game as well
for the British soldiers to learn than
the more scientific and technical out
door baseball. 1t is quickly learned,
and its calfber is not too high to adj
NIT an amateur. The English soldiers
find any good cricket player possesses
sufficient qualifications to feel at home
in a few innings.
On athletic fields and aerodromes
all over France, one may see scores Of
British, Canadian, Australian and
American officers and men, playing In
door baseball with a vim and eager
ness never displayed at cricket.
Indoor baseball knocks cricket into
cooked hat" declared the star crick-
eter of one of the guards regiments
the other day. Probably the quicker
action, the wider inclusiveness of the
game, and the laughs 1t arouses among
the players and spectators say
nothing of the roofing more to
the soldier in France than the more
serious and sedate game of cricket,
and the equipment is simpler and
cheaper.

question will be one Of the most i'm
portant with which the major league
clubs will have to contend when 1t
comes to the reconstruction of the
clubs after the war. Many stars Of
other years will have drifted from the
realm of the pastime and it will be
necessary to I'LL their places with new
players.
With baseball booming into popu-
larity In France and England, the
American national sport is also maxi
ing big inroads in Japan, where not
only Americans but natives, in large
numbers, too, are playing the game
that promises one day to embrace all
civilized countries.
Baseball is not new in Japan. 1t
has been played on rather limited
scale in the Orient for some years.
The visit of the Giants and White Sox,
when those clubs made trip around
the world increased the interest of the
Nipponese in the great American pas
time. But not until recently has the
game taken hold of the Japanese.

result of kidney OF bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and maybe respondent; it makes
anyone SO.
But hundreds Of women claim that DIR.

health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should

VERY RARE RACE OCCURRENCE
Horses With Same Sire and Dam Re-
turned as Winners on Same Day
at Havre de Grace.

Seldom does American racing his
tory record the winning on the same
day of race horses which have the
same sire and dam, and it appears
such rare occurrence that the scor-
ing of King Neptune and Sea Gull at
Havre de Grace recently is worthy of
notice. The first named is a five-year-
old gelding and the other colt, both by
Sea King, out of Toots, and while only
the latter is owned by Doc Tyree, both
were at one time the apple Of the
eye'' of that well-known southern
sportsman. Indication of their winning
efforts was shown in their previous
races, when each managed to get the
place in his respective race, with King
Neptune's in particular being notice
able from the standpoint that he was
beaten by Celtic, which is a six-year-
old colt out Of the same dam.

went into overseas work, one Of It's
first acts was to purchase and ship tons
Of athletic equipment.
Up to the present the "Y" has pro-
vided hundreds of athletic directors
recruited from the foremost athletes
Of earlier generations, and tons Of
sporting paraphernalia. The K. Of O.,
starting a little later, Is developing
similar program. Directors use every
art to get the backward, the shy nom
athletic soldier into the games for the
good Of his body and his morale, tre-
mendous aid to the winning of the war.
The "Y" and X. of G. men seek to en-
list the greatest number of men In
sports rather than to develop small
team of crack athletes.
Figures Show Result.
The figures, based on the activities
of one unit, show the result. They
were taken in comparatively small
region and were selected at random.
Baseball engaged the attention Of l.
423 men of this region In week. The
games were witnessed by 1900 men,
which would be considered very good
weekly attendance for minor league
club, and as many spectators as a big
league team In the second division Oft
en- draws in seven days. Here the pro-
portion of players to spectators is to
10, while In league baseball it would
be / to 400, figuring thirty players as
the average number appearing weekly
OF the diamond.
Volley ball, probably the most popu-
lar game for soldiers, engaged 1905
players with large gallery. Boxing
ranked third in popularity, with 1,027
men participating, while 5000 soldiers
looked on. Compare that one to nine
average with a big fist fight crowd
viewing the efforts Of two men. Ten
mis- exercised 227 men, while 800 par
ticipated in track and field sports.
Basketball engaged 793 soldiers, while
indoor baseball, soccer and rugby foot
ball worked the muscles and minds Of
hundreds. Just as Waterloo was won
on England's cricket and football fields,
so this war may be decided by the ath-
letic contests of the clean-living, hard
hitting American boys.

NO EASY JOB FOR PLAYERS
Former Baseball Tossers in shipyards
Find Uncle Sam ls No EasyA
Taskmaster.

Gus Getz, former Brooklyn ball play
er, now shipbuilder, is among those
who have found out that Uncle Sam
is no easy taskmaster. He is cal
loused up from handling sheet iron,
and delivers himself as follows:
'sThe quicker the public rids itself
of the idea we ball players in the
shipyards have things any easier than
the rest of the men the better. We
shipyard men, ball players or not, are
working, and working hard. No daw-
ding will be stood for.

at the switch, but they promptly were
bounced out of the job into the army.

SEEK new BASEBALL
PLAYERS IN FRANCE
Stars Are Being Developed in
Army, Says Alexander.
Scouts Are Making Arrangements to
Go to Europe in Hope Of Securing
Promising Performers Behind
i Firing Lines.

With reports from FRANCE that base
ball as played behind the fighting lines
is developing many promising per-
formers who should be ripe for major
league plucking when the game is re-
sumed on organized lines after we win
the war. a number of scouts attached
to major league clubs are making ar
rangements to go to- Europe In the
hope Of obtaining stars among the
doughboys.
It is understood that at least three
clubs intend to send representatives
to France early in the spring to seek
talent In the battle zone. Grover
Cleveland Alexander has notified sew
eral baseball men in this country that
hundreds Of skillful players are being
developed among the soldiers and has
suggested to the Cubs that 1t would be
a good idea to send a scout across to
look over the spring crop.
1t is no secret that baseball leaders
are looking to the players developed
back of the firing lines III France to
solve the player shortage with which
the minor and majors have been beset
for the last two years, and which, last
season especially, became detriment
that worked much harm to the pas
time.
If the Cubs decide to send scout
to Europe, it is very likely other teams
will do likewise, for the other con-
tenders would not permit the Cubs to
steal a march on them. The player

(By e. A. BACHELOR

(By Il. A. BATCHELOR.)
What is putting the pep" into the
push toward Berlin which the Yanks
are giving Kaiser Bills bad Boches?
Athletics certainly are helping. How?
BY raising the morale and the muscle
of the American fighters. In one unit
and In one week, $685. soldiers partici-
pated in athletic sports. They had
S6,275 spectators meaning that for ev-
cry six soldier spectators there was
one soldier participant. Better record
than baseball or football has in the
u. S. A., ne c'est pas?
How did the sports rank in popu-
larity among the soldiers? Volley ball
came first. Baseball was second. Box
ing was on the limb. Track and field
sports were just out Of the money.
Basketball was fifth. Indoor baseball,
soccer, rugby, tennis, etc., were In the
ruck.
Muscle and "Pep."
Athletics surely are putting muscle
and pep" into the young men who
must handle the rifles, artillery, gre
nades, spades, and other implements Of
warfare. Beside this there is the high
morale generated by the tingling high
spirits and good health which blesses
the well-exercised body.
Contrast the figures above with a
worlds series baseball game where 49,
600 spectators watch eighteen men con-
test, or Yale-Harvard football game,
where the Yale 'bowl" holds 10000
fans while twenty-five men struggle
to uphold the supremacy of Old Eli and
John Harvard. Contrast it with a, box
ing championship match where a
"gate" of upward of 100000 witness
bout between two men. Consider
the greater advantage, the wider
spread benefit Of sports involving one
contestant to every six spectators.

RECT BY PARCEL
POST.

This advertisement Is written on
Monday, October 21st. 1t is directed to
the attention of ell distributors OF
Vick's vapoRub, both wholesale ana
retail. In an emergency such as the
present epidemic-our duty-and your
duty-is to distribute VapoRub in the
quickest possible manner to those Sec
lions stricken by Influenza. We. there
fore, call your careful attention to the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP
IS PLY is NOT CONSERVED
On October LIST we had on hand. at
our Factory and In twenty warehouses
scattered over the country. sufficient
VapoRub to last us, we thought, until
January LIST, allowing for 80 per cent
increase over last years sales, and not
counting our daily output. This big
excess stock had been accumulated
during the summer months
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
fuenza hit us-and In the last ten days
this stock has vanished. At first we
thought this tremendous demand
would last only few days, but the
orders have run:
Wed, Oct. 16. 49,. .1S,504 doz.
Thur, Oct. II. .... De, 1923 doz.
Fri, Oct, 49,. ,256 doz.
Sat-, Oct. 10. -. 1888 doz.
Mon, Oct. 21. TT. 705 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10th, we
have actually shipped for this month
S400, 2S4.10, or over two million Jars
of VapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO DIS
TRIBUTE VAPoRUB QUICKLY.
Most of this tremendous quantity is
still en- route to the jobbers. but
freight and express are both con-
gested nowadays, and it may be some
time before this supply reaches the
1obbers. In the meantime, therefore,
it is necessary that we distribute, as
widely as possible, the stock that we
are manufacturing daily, together with
that now ON the jobbers' and retailers
shelves, In order that 1t may get to
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output is about 1000 dozen
per day. We are putting on night
shift, but it will be little while be-
fore that is producing.

territory are out Of yfck's VapoRub.
we will ship you by Parcel Post, pre-
paid, quantities not more than three

Naturally, we can't open accounts at
this time, SO your check or money or
der for this amount must accompany
order. Don't write us stating to ship
thru your jobber, as we then have to
wait until we write this jpbber and get

come thru your jobber, have him order
them for you.

the use of Vick's VapoRub as an ex-
ternal application to supplement the
physicians treatment.
NEW WAYS TO USE vAPoRU7.
In addition to the usual method or
using VapoRub- that is, applied over
the throat and chest and covered with
hot flannel cloths-our customers are
writing us daily telling of their sue
cess in using VapoRub in other ways.
particularly as preventive. They
melt little in a spoon and inhale the
vapors arising, or melt 1t In benzoin
steam kettle. Where the steam kettle
is not available. VapoRub can be used
in an ordinary teakettle. Fill the tea
kettle half full of boiling water, put in
half teaspoon of VapoRub from time
to time-keep the kettle just slowly
boiling and inhale the steam arising.
According to Bulletin just issued
by the Public Health Service, DIR.
Stiles recommends that the nose and
throat be kept coated with some oily
substance. For this purpose VapoRub
is excellent-just put little up the
nostrils from time to time and snuff
well back into the air passages.
