view of Fulton's frequent challenges OF

he would meet Willard on one-third
basis, but agents of Col Miller indi-

expected to accept a smaller portion or

In advocacy of the Lampert plan it is

the best material from which to raise
our armies. A systematic athletic

Base ball. the national sport. is given

BASE BALL ABROAD
Yankee Sailors to Have
League Games in France.
A.. |. to Give Outfit.

CHICAGO, March 14.-Sai1ors of the
Atlantic fleet are going to stage an
American and National league pennant
race of their own in France this sum-
mer. President B. B. Johnson of the
American League was advised of the
base ball venture across the sea in
letter today from I,enar f. Leahy, COM
mander of an American squadron now
on duty in European waters.
The American League, President
Johnson announced, will completely
equip the eight ships of Commander
Leahy's squadron with base ball out
fits. including uniforms. gloves, bats
and other paraphernalia- The equip
ment will be sent as quickly as the re-
quirements of the men are known.
1.-THE game is receiving a great deal
of attention in France he wrote. "All
of the service organizations have
teams. and great deal of rivalry has
sprung up among the various units.
We hope to have good ball teams at
the naval bases. and the ships are
preparing for it. Most of the ships
have ex-college players on board, SO
we ought to have some very good
teams.
There is tremendous rivalry be-
tween the first and second naval squad
rons in these waters. l am attached to
the pioneer squadron, and 1t is pro-
posed that we shall represent the Amer
lean League in the coming combat this
summer against the squadron that left
the states at a later date.
Il appreciate very much your gem
erous offer to outfit us, and the men
will appreciate immensely the equip
ment. In my mind there is no doubt
that after one summer in France base
ball will probably be the national
game of this great nation, as it is in
America"
Commander Leahy said the ship he
commands has had several engage
ments with submarines, and that one
of the undersea boats was destroyed

Next Wednesday night boxing car
nival for the benefit of the athletic fund
is to be held by the soldiers stationed
at Fort MGR. No program has been
announced as yet. but a comprehensive
list of bouts.is being arranged. Joe
Batemann. former local fighter, is in
charge of the atch-making.
One of the drawbacks to the carrying
out of a broad plan of sports at some
of the encampments has been a lack of
finances to purchase equipment. All
the money derived from the benefit is
to be expended for that purpose. Tick
cts will be sold under an organized
plan, and it is hoped that a considera-
BILE sum will be realized.
Track and field sports this spring. ex-
cept for the high schools. will occupy
smaller space as sport proposition
around Washington than at any time
for number of years. In all probabil
ity only two colleges will have men in
competition and there is a possibility
that not more than four or five institu-
tons will be represented in the South

vided that is held

Yale Encourages Formation
of All Her Athletic Teams

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. March II.
Instead of curtailing sports. as
fl being done at Harvard. Yale
will encourage the formation Of
all teams this spring which can
be organized under the conditions
made necessary by the war. such
as the abandonment of profess
sionaI coaches, training tables
and long trips. With the possible
exception of golf. 1t is now likely
that every minor sport spring
team will he organized immedi-
ateIy. The tennis. soccer foot ball
and lacrosse teams have already
perfected their organizations and
are arranging schedules.
No present plan calls for cut
ting off tho basket ball, swim
ming or wrestling teams next
winter. although no move will he
made for their organization till
after the opening of the fall
term.
Yale has decided on the usual
"Y" for members of the spring
major sport teams-rOwinE, base
ball and track athletics.

Sunbeams of Bowling.

Last night n certain girl bowler
wnnted to play a joke on her es-
cort. While he wasn't looking she
reached over and took fra
ternity pin or his cont. He did
not tumble quick enough to suit
her, SO this morning she called
him on the phone and asked If
he had discovered the loss OF
something Off his coat lapel. He
was mystffied until she explained
to him that, rs n joke. she had
removed his fraternity pin and
then had it in her possession.
The young man answered that
the joke was all right. hut the
only trouble with it was that he
had never worn n fraternity pin
on his coat lapel in his whole
life.
Now she's wondering whose
coat it was.
Also, how she's ever going to get
that pin back to its owner.
Also. what that owner would
have thought-and said-if he
had happened to catch her yank-
ing that pin.
Also, what he thinks If he did
see her and knows who she Is.
A joke is a joke when 1t is not
a mistake.
