COMEDY FOR BASEBALL FANS
President of San Francisco Would
Hire Nick Altrock and Others
to Amuse Spectators.

After-war fashions will give us lot
of new things il many endeavOrs and
it will bring new things into profess
sional baseball, too. Take the idea or
DR.. Charles II. Strub, president of tho
San Francisco club of the Pacific coast
league, as an example. The doctor
wants comedy and "a little jazz in the
game. Here's what he suggests:
''If I have my way we will instill
little jazz into baseball out this way
next season. / want men like Nick
Altrock, Germany Schaefer and young
Sawyer, real baseball c. medians, in
the league to put a little life into the
sport. If I can I will get one and pos
sibly two of these men for the local
club to do utility roles and furnish
some fun for the fans. The games
here last year were too dead. want
a fighting ball club and noisy One."

RENAISSANCE OF ALL SPORT
Baseball, Boxing, Tennis and Other
Forms of Athletic Activity to
Gain in Popularity.

With the end of the world war, the
renaissance of sport should begin at
once. In the next few years baseball,
football, boxing, tennis, racing, golf
and other forms of athletic activity
should attain a popularity never be-
fore known.
The wonderful work of the United
States army in France attestS to the
value of athletics in the training of
men as nothing else could, writes
John P. Sinnott in New York Eve
ming Mail. Our boys were not bred
soldiers. They were bred athletes.
But it did not take them long to ac-
quire such military training as fitted
them to more than hold their own on
the battlefield with the picked troops
of the German empire.
There will be plenty of baseball the
coming year. The game has spread
to France, England and faiy. Wheth-
err or not the big league stars in the
army and navy are mustered out in
time to play in 1919, there seems to
be little doubt that the National and
American leagues will resume play
ing.
The nation will demand its national
game. 1t will need it as never before.
1t will need and desire all other forms
of competitive sport. A renaissance
is at hand.

SEE GREAT BOOM IN SPORTS
Many Returning Canadian Soldiers
Have Picked Up New Games
While Fighting in France.

Canada is looking forward to
great boom in all branches of sport
with the completion of peace. The
devotees of football, lacrosse, SOC
Ger, cricket, track and field athletics,
lawn bowlers, baseball, the turf and
kindred recreations, are already
pricking up their ears. Canadian
Sportsman" is quoted in the Hamil-
ton Herald as saying:
IAN important factor will be the re-
turn of Canada's 100000 soldiers from
France. These men have learned how
to become participants in sport, and
they have learned many new forms
of sport. They have been living in
the open and they will want consid-
cradle outdoor life when they get
back. Outdoor sport will appeal to
them as it has never done before"
The fact that many of these return
ing athletes are cripples will not bar
them from participating in many
forms of sport. Some of the appar-
emily hopelessly handicapped ones
have already proved their surprising
ability.

started down the walk for the store.
Il knew that young one would be a
nuisance"
Carolyn May, who was quite used to
taking a nap on the days that she did
not go to school, woke up, as bright
as a newly minted dollar, very soon
after her Uncle Joe left for the store.
"Tm awfully sorry 1 missed him."
she confided TO Aunty Rose when she
danced into the kitchen. ''You see,
l want to get acquainted with Uncle
Joe just as fast as possible. And he's
at home so little guess that it's going
to be hard to do it."
ooh, is that so? And is it going to
be hard to get acquainted with me?"
asked the housekeeper curiously.
"Oh, mol" cried Carolyn May, snug
Cling up to the good woman and pat
ting her plump bare arm. "Why, I'm
getting 'quainted with you fast, Aunty
Rosel You heard me say my prayers
and when you laid me down on the
couch just now you kissed me-"
Aunty Rose actually blushed. "There,
there, child!" she exclaimed you're
too noticing. Eat your dinner, that
I've saved warm for you"
isn't Prince to have any dinner,
Aunty Rose?" asked the little girl.
You may let him out, if you wish,
after you have had your dinner. You
can feed him under the tree"
Carolyn May was very much excited
about an hour later when a rusty
closed hack drew up to the front gate
Of the Stage place and stopped.

EDDIE NEARING HAD
TO DEFEAT BORRELl'
His Captain and Crew Bet on
Him So He Lands Money.
Story Goes to Show Natural Rivalry
Between Various Branches of
American Military Service
Followed Orders.

They tell a story about Eddie Near
ing, middleweight boxer, now aboard
an American warship, which goes to
show the intense natural rivalry be-
tween the various branches of the
American military service.
1t seems that Meanings ship was
being held up at a French port some
time ago and that the members of the
crew, including Nearing were allowed
to take jaunt to Paris. There, in
their meanderings, they met up with
members of the crew of another Amer
lean vessel which boosted of Joe Bor-
rell, a former Philadelphia middle
weight.
The argument regarding the respec-
tive merits of Borrell and Nearing
waged heavy between the crews, until
finally it was arranged that the two
boxers would meet to settle the dis
pute. Nearing was not on hand when
the discussion arose but that did not
matter to the gobs. He was signed
up by proxy to battle Borrell.
On returning to the vessel Nearing
was notified by the captain that
match had been arranged for him.
who's the guy I'm to meet?" asked
Nearing.
whats the difference who he ISL"
answered the captain. II don't remem-
Der his name, but / do know that L
have $100 posted on you and yOu've
got to come through and win"
Orders is orders in the navy and so
Nearing just had to beat up Borrell.
Incidentally he saved the captains
hundred and won pile of change for
the other members of the crew, all Of
whom put their months salaries on
Nearing's chances. What could fell
low do but win under such circum-
stances?

composedly.
Hum ! can't the child get up to her
victuals?" demanded Mr.. Stage. "You
begin serving that young one sepa-
rateiy and you'll make yourself work,
Aunty Rose"
"Never trouble about that which
doesn't concern you, Joseph Stage"
responded his housekeeper rather
tartly. "The Lord has placed the care
of Hannah'S Car'lyn on you and me
and I'll do my share and do it proper"
Mr.. Stage shook his head and lost
interest in his wedge of berry pie.
''There are Institutions" he began
weakly; but Aunty Rose said quickly /:
'Joseph Stagg! know you for what
you are-Other people don't. If the
neighbOrs heard you say that they'd

"WelI, I suppose we've got to fiat

grOwled Mr.. Stage. But where the

asked Aunty Rose promptly.
''Well-not what you'd call for

woman in tone that quite closed the
question of finances.

IRISH DON'T LIKE BASEBALL
First International Contest Did Not
Take With Natives-Game Played
on Muddy Field.

Irishmen in Ireland must differ from
those in the United States, or the real
sports have all gone to war. A Dub
lin dispatch says that the first inter-
national game staged there several
days ago between a team composed of
American troops and squad made up
of Canadian soldiers did not seem to
take very well with the Irish popula-
ton.
The weather, it is believed, is the
main reason for Dublin turning down
the game. 1t was played in puddles
and the men taking part in the game
were mud from head to foot, which
evidently did not agree with the Irish
sport idea.

department at Harvard university,
and was studying to obtain a commits
sion as an ensign. The injury is said
to be of such grave nature that it is
likely to keep Barry from ever again
being able to hold a place in major
league baseball, should he desire to
return to the national pastime when
Uncle Sans forces are demobilized.
Barry did little playing during the
past season, and the fact that he is
about thirty-two years old will miti-
gate against his ever playing again
under the big top.

SHOOT THE UMPIRE!

During a lull in one of the
''quiet sectors" of France
spots where the opposing troops
only go through the motions of
warfare and give each other due
notice when they are going to
drop any shells, ball game was
started by American soldiers,
and was watched with much in
terest by the Germans in the
hostile trenches.
In the seventh inning a Ger
man megaphoned across the
open space, Better go under

and we must shoot something"
And the doughboys, as though
trained in a regular chorus,
shouted back: "All right-shoot
