HOPE FOR ARMY-NAVY GAME
President Hampstead of Giants En-
deavoring to Stage Historic
Gridiron Struggle.

President Harry \. Hampstead of
the Giants has not yet abandoned hope
of staging the ArmyNavy football
game at the Polo grounds next fall, in
spite of the fact that the historic grid
iron struggle was not held as usual
last yer because of the war. Hemp
stead saws that there is an almost
unanimous sentiment in army circles
for the holding of the game this year
Last fall the contest was frowned upon
in official circles for the reason that it
was feared the attention of the cadets
at West Point and Annapolis would be
taken from their work in the week pre-
ceding the game and that, in view of
such possibility. nothing must be al
lowed TO interfere with their training.

BUNTING AN ACQUIRED TRICK
Players Who Can Lay Down the Ball
Don't Do 1t NaturaIIy-Is
SacrificiaI Rite.

It may be true that the hitter in
baseball is born, not made, but not so
with the bunter, says a baseball wise
man. The successful bunt hitter is a
manufactured article. Here the mind
plays an important part. Instead OF
going up to the plate with the sole idea
of taking a healthy, untrammeled
swing at the old apple, the artistic
bunter must choke his bat, bold it so
it will give, make a quick, but ac-
curate, stab into the pathway of the
bali ana let the ball do the rest.
There is still more. Bunting is Fri
marily n sacrificial rite, 50 to speak,
and the batter with orders to bCnt
must make his desire to beat out the
hit secondary to the proper advance
ment of the base runner.
The trouble with most players who
essay to bunt is their tendency to start
running before they hit the ball. AS
consequence, they either foul off. miss
altogether or drive it directly at the
pitcher. They have no chance at all to
place the globule where the infelders
least expect it.

 Italian patrols making reconnaissances during the past 48 hours found that the Teuon patrols and sennes had all been withdrawn Later it discovered that the enemy forces had abandoned the entire region This trement is believed to have been in the face of the bril- liant French victory at Monte Tomba and the move is most important It is believed here that the retirement shows that the enemy has abandoned all effort to force their passage to the Venetian Plains by way of Monte Tomba Cold weather has prevented airplane scouting for the past four days.
