German VS.. American Sports

I HERE is some speculation whether the German ten
oency to exercise in mass, virtually abandoning
sports In which personal initiative is required has not
played It's part IN this war. The Evening Post" edi-
torlay says: 1.-The genius for mass action which
is behind the organization and spirit of the German
army, behind their Turnvereine the Mannechore
their bowling clubs-and their professors marching in
solid formation-is also behind their peculiar system
of child play"
Whatever the cumulative result of the German svs
tenn of SPORTS the main fault with it from an American
viewpoint is that there isn't any fun in it, Thus if the
American and British games only equal the Teutonc in
developing condition and moralenstead of surpassne
them, as most authorities firmly beleve-there is more
sunshine III the Americans life because he knows and
plays golf, tennis, baseball football, etc.
II there is thing man should be allowed IN
choose IN this world it is his avenues of bene
hcla pleasure. In sport that may be golf with one
tennis with another But to insist that the golfer MA
tennis or make him march by wos or tours every dav
Tor ten miles, as the German should would be not pleas
ure but labor 1t would take from his life the zest
which his particular sport affords.
II the sole idea of sport is develop an armv it
would be better at the start substitute the bavonet
for the racquet and the gun for the mashe and quit
the masquerade of sport. If we did this our music.
hterature and drama would be unhapply heavy, in
stead of cheerfully buoyan and it would indeed be
pleasure to sit and drink beer if nothing more than
rest. But Jones, the cashier wouldn't have the ont;
mlstlc look that sunburned cheeks give of Monday
morning. nor golf card showing handsome "90"
tucked in his inside pocket.
If the British and American games system on,v
keeps even with that of the Hun it will do precisely
what the Allies doing now-that is make life worth
living

Skeeters and Rochesters
Split Double-Header

After two postponements Jersey City
and Rochester played the final games of
their series and broke even yesterday
at West Side PARK. Poor pitching on
the part Of Maude and Mcfarland for
Jersey City gave the Hustlers an easy
victory by q score of Is to in the
opening battle.
Jersey City came back in good style
in the farewell session and cleaned IN
by margin of 5 to 2. Ververs pitched
the cleverest kind of ball in the wind
up for the Shelters, and Twins men
could not touch him until the eighth
when he eased up with a couple Of
passes and two scratch hits, which en-
abled Rochester to tally their two runs
The score: WIS.,

Roller Coaster To Be
Rebuilt

1t will be a source of satisfaction to
the amusement-loving public to be
assured that the Wildwood Roller
Coaster or sometimes called Scenic rail-
way, is TO be rebuilt and made stronger
and better than ever. The roller-coast-
er is owned and operated by the Uni
versal Amusement Co., whose head
quarters is in Scranton, Pa. Thomas
Reddington, of the Inniscarra cottage,
llS West Maple avenue, Wild wood, is
the manager OF the company in charge
of the outfit here. Mr.. Reddington,
who has been i'll for some time, has re-
covered and started for Scranton on
Tuesday morning to arrange with the
officers of the company for the pur-
chase of lumber and other material
necessary ito rehabilitate the coaster
here. He hopes to have this amuse-
ment going again in fine shape by May
Both. The coaster went down at 6.45
o. Wednesday morning, the first
morning of the storm. The repair
work and material will cost not less
than $4,000. The original cost of the
roller. coaster was about $12 900. It
must be- classed among the athletic and
heroic fe atures on amusementschedu les.
R~oller-coasting ranks with rowing,
skating, shedding, swimming, boxing
and other forms of athletic diversions.
1t is an innocent amusement, and
hanks back to primal and basic in
stinets. The coaster is, to some extent
a thriller, very stimulating and exhila-
rating from a purely physical view
point; and it does ones heart good to
hear the merry peals of laughter and
the tremendous shouts of exuberant
spirits, as the miniature cars dash
through space with the rapidly of
lightning. The Wildwood coaster was
the fifth and last venture of the Uni
versal Amusement company. The
other four are located as follows: AT
P~ottsville, Pa; Clark's Summit. Pc;
Waverly, N. Y, and London, Ontario,
Canada.

Wildwood Home Guards

This military organization had its
inception last December and has been
growing steadily ever since. About
sixty names thus far have been enrolled
under Captain John e. O'Daniel. The
Home Guards OF Wildwood are being
recruited at the instance of Governor
Edge and Adjutant General Gilkyson,
requests and suggestions having first
emanated from the State military head
quarters last November, and commune
Gated directly TO Captain O'Daniel.
The aim of the State military authori-
ties is to establish a company of home
guards in every city and town in the
Stale. To he sure, in the larger cities
there may be rallied several companies.
Up to date there are at least 55, 600 men
enlisted as home guards in New Jer-
sey.
Under the terms of these contracts,
the military service of the guards Is
limited, absolutely, to the confines of
the places where they are organized.
Home guards can not be called for dI-
ty outside of the geographical divisions
for whose protection and defense they
are primarily called into existence.
The home guards of Wild wood are
to be congratulated on having for their
captain such an efficient and painstak-
ing commander aud drillmaster as Mr..
O'Daniel, a soldier with an experience
of twenty years to his credit. Before
locating in Wildwood in 1912, Mr..
O'Daniel lived in Chester county, Pa,
and was a member for fourteen years
of Philadelphia's crack body of troops,
known as the State Fencibles, all or
ganlzation composing four companies
or one battalion of the Pennsylvania
National Guard. The drilling and APP
pearance of the State F%encibles usually
created a sensation on all occasions
when these soldiers were in line. To
have been q member of such an efficient
body OF troops carried with it some
distin ction and the training received in
this service, something to be apprecia-
ted and to be proud of.
A meeting of the Home Guard asso-
citation was held on Wednesday last at
city hall. The minimum number re-
quired to form a company of home
guards is sixty; the maximum number
one bundled, exclusive of officers.
just as soon as the minimum is reach
ed official recognition will be given by
the State. Such recognition will carry
with it the right TO all necessary equip
ment free of charge, including military
costumes, guns, cartridges for target
practice, etc.

Fighting For

CHALL this little girl grow up in the sort
of American home we know, healthy and
~ happy? Shall she have the advantage of
living and learning in a free land, under free in
stitutions? Shall such children develop into the
Liberty-loving citizens that a free America may
be proud Of?
For over two hundred years Americans have
fought valiantly, and died CALAMITY, to win for
themselves and hand down to their posterity the
blessings of liberty, justice, self-government and
equal opportunity. This precious heritage. bought
at so great a price. is now threatened.
The question which today c~onfronts America
as a nation, and you as an individual, is
whether or not a free America
is worth fighting for
Are American children in this and all future
generations to receive unimpaired the legacy of
freedom of which we are now the custodians. or
shall their country be turned over bodily to the
brutal, rapacIous, power mad enemy which has
forced us into this war?

Or. X. Marvin in the Universalist
LEADER
Men say it's always cold in France,
That rain and mist are rife;
But heaven must weep, the sun must
hide
From this red he'll of life.
The river no more woos the sea.
Its song must silent stay,
The burden OF dead human freight
Dams up it's onward way.
The lark has found a plaintive note,
His ancient rapture gone;
The spring flowers linger in the soil
Too timorous to be born.
Only the Christ is upafraid.-
Only the Son of God;
He walks the battlefelds of France
With shepherds staff and rod.
The legions of the dead are his,
He cools the fevered brow,
The Great Heart of the centuries
Is with his servants now.
So, heaven, rejoice, and lordly sun!
Pent river-seek the sea!
Sing, lark, and spring flowers greet
the day,
For Christ shall set US free!

by means of neutralizing chemicals
it is purified. From the top of the

There is a one-way shutter valve
