SHOWING HOW SCOTS
FEEL ON ATHLETICS
Sixty Thousand Of Them Turn
d. Out to See Soccer Game.


II has been claimed that sports In
the United States should be abandoned
for the duration OF the war because
the public Ii too much interested In
the developments on the battlefields In
France. For that reason the baseball
season was cut short. football hung on
the ropes and other athletic events are
barely able to stngger along. Perhaps
this is u good thing for the country,
but few can see II, writes a correspond
ent. The public needs recreation. and
lots Of It, In these trying times. Any
form of amusement will help, and to
prove II look over the following cable
gram from London:
"All soccer games In Britain were
dwarfed recently by the big cup tie
In Glasgow, In which the Rangers and
Celtics met In the final tie for the
Glasgow cup before the crowd Of co.
600 people. The Rangers won by the
cor of 2 to o."
This is the fifth year Of the war In
England and the suffering there has
been greater than II ever will be here.
Hence that 10000 crowd Is significant
and shows the popularity Of sports.
The same Is true In Canada. where last
summer baseball fiourished and horse
racing drew big crowds.
During the first year Of the wnr
sports Of all sorts languished In Eng
land and Canada. but improved In the
second year. and for the past two
years interest In all sorts Of sports has
grown to proportions fully eqpaling the
period before the war and even sur
passing II In some lines. Perhaps Il
In on this fact that some Of the base
ball magnates base their faith that thu
game will flourish next year. COndi
lions cannot be much different her,
than In England or Canada. Amerl
cans more than any other people de
mand recreation and there appears n
reason why sport should not awakel
here as It has across the water.

they asked the American authorities

Getting Into the
Service
- r.
By ROY MASON
Of The Vtgiionfes

The doctor said no with all the final
ity with which our medical men ex-
aiming candidates for the army can
pronounce this word. The rejected
candidate turned awny. profoundly de-
jected, his mind In chaos because all
his plans were upset. He was over
drift nge, hut he had been so conf
dent that he could pass. He was of
no use In this war. he reflected bit
terly. He might as well be II cripple
or blind for all that he could do to
help.
II had seemed So simple To pay all
his debts. arrange his affairs, put his
surplus into Liberty Bonds and the
odd change into War Savings Stamps
and then enlist. And now they
wouldn't have him. All on account
Of an infnitesimal heart murmur.
"Therc's no use sending M IN to
the front whom two will have To carry
back" the doctor had said decidedly.
As he slouchcd down Michigan ave-
u In Chicago, dropping In mind and
body. he noticed II button on the cont
lapel OF II six-foot Stranger. II was not
q Liberty Bond button, nor u Red
Cross button. The stranger stopped To
gaze out over Lake Michigan md he
managed 10 read "Wnr Camp CoInmu-
nifty Service" upon II. The stranger
looked up, saw him reading, and gave
hin n quick nppra!slng glance.

The man who had been turned down
by the doctor pricked up his ears.
"What do you dof" he wanted to
know.
The s~lx-footer grlnned.
"Klnd Of n long story" he began,
"but we get after every community
