EvERS' ALL-STAR TEAM OVERSEAS

The Y. M. c. A., Knights of Colum- bus and other organizations striving to make happy the life of the sol diers overseas intend to leave noth- ing undone this autumn and winter to entertain the men in khaki. Not the least important project on foot is the formation of an all-star base ball team, embracing a number of players who formerly shone in the major leagues but now are serv- ing in the battle fines in France
 The movement is under the joint auspices of the Y. M C. A. and the Knights of Columbus, and the team will be in charge of Johnny Evers, formerly captain and star second baseman of the Chicago Cubs, who is serving for the Knights. Evers has as sembled what promises to be one of the strongest teams that ever has per formed on foreign soil and a tour of the divisional camps in Southern France is being arranged. It is likely the games will take place during No veuber and December for the clint ate in lower France is balmy in win ter, the club will go the rounds of the divisional teams and hospital staff hines and will play a majority of the games for the benefit of the wounded warriors at the large hospitals in Southern France.
 The official lineup has just been an- nounced and it is likely the tour will begin early next month. The first game will be played in Paris with a team numbering many skillful ball tossers who played in the minor leagues before going abroad to help overthrow the Boche.
 Lineup Complete.
 Evers has completed the lineup of his club. The pitching staff has Grover Cleveland Alexander, formerly crack moundsman of the Cubs; Sherrod Smith, who used to pitch for the Dodgers; Leon Cadore, also of the Dodgers, who now is a lieutenant in the army; Otis Lambeth, formerly of the Indians and Charley Moves, who last season was one of the most prom ising of Connie Mack's spring crop of youngsters on the Athletics.
 Any fan" will readily appreciate what splendid work the Y. NJ. c. A. and the Knights of Columbus have ac- complished in assembling such a pitching staff It is a staff of major league calibre fore and aft, and nay club of soldiers that opposes the all- star nine is sure to be put to a hard test.
 The catchers will be hank Gowdy formerly star backstop of the Boston Braves, who won the signal honor of being the first ballplayer to enlist in he army. Hank has been in the big affray in France ever since the United States leaped into action and has won the commendation of baseball fans the country over Began. who served briefly with Cincinnati, also will catch for the All Stars.
 Evers has assembled a formidable infield, too. Dots Miller, veteran of the Cardinals, who has shone for years in the National League will hold down first base. Dots is playing as well as ever in the games behind the battle lines in Flanders and should be tow CT of strength at first for the stars.
 Evers will cover second himself

the battle in Chicago.

the battle in Chicago.
 There are numerous other impor tant contests that could be played if some intermediate place were selected. It is not unlikely that a special com mittee may be named by the Big Ten for the purpose of arranging games at intermediate towns, so that the neces- sity for the long trips would be elimi- mated.
 Thus for nothing has been done along this line by any of the eastern colleges but it is probable that should the western colleges take action the customers would follow suit. A num- Der of games that otherwise will not be played this autumn could take place if played at midway places.
 It is likely that number of the most important of the conference games will be played in Chicago. All conference elevens are located within a nights ride O. the metropolis on the banks of Lake Michigan, and if per mission could be obtained from the various commandants for the extra half day leave the contests could be played if the officials of the institu- tions involved would consent to neu- tral or intermediate grounds.

MILITARY RESTRICTIONS
 UPSET FOOTBALL |

Football has entered upon the second week of the autumn campaign, confronting an outlook that is decid- edly gloomy. Wholesale cancellations of games the country over as a result of military restrictions imposed upon the sport have thrown the schedules of all colleges into confusion, out of which it is difficult to bring any sem blance of order.
 The edict of the military authorities concerning the graduation of cadets at West Point, which doubtless will be followed by similar ruling at Annapo- lis, already has killed all hope for the Army Navy game and will mean the virtual withdrawal of the soldiers from the gridiron this autumn. As the two upper classes which are to grad uate on November l embrace nearly all the members of the army football season, it is readily apparent that it would be folly to continue with the schedule. The game with Boston. Col lege for Saturday was called off, and it is highly probable that all other contests will be cancelled in few days. The outlook at Annapolis by the same token, is also decidedly dubious At the outset things appeared quite promising or the embryo admirals DuI ISCSHI uON nave CdSl d shadow over football at the Naval Academy. The midshipmen may withdraw from intercollegiate compe- edition in the near future
 With the development of formidable service elevens in all sections of tie country there is promise, however, of plenty of good football, although the intercollegiate rivalry of other years will be reduced to a minimum
 A western football authority has suggested what promises to be the so- lution of the troubles that beset many managers of college football elevens in readjusting their schedules. It is sug- gested to hold games between colleges that otherwise would be cancelled be- cause of too long trips, at intermedi- ate points determined by agreement of authorities in charge of the situ- ation at the, universities concerned. It is likely the scheme may be adopt ed by number of the western uni versailles.
 Minnesota already has cancelled it's game with Michigan at Ann Arbor on Nov. 23. This contest undoubtedly would be one of the most interesting of the season, and might be played if the military officials agreed to stage

It may be said that if ducks are scared they can reach maximum speed at will and this sprinting flight is usually what the gunner has to make allowance for.
 On the other hand. many wildfowl are jumped and killed while lowering over decoys and moving slowly, and birds like snipe and quail are often killed before they have attained full speed.
 Upland birds are not often shot shot while passing the gun at right angles, but going straight away, quar- tering or twisting.

FLIGHT OF GAME BIRDS.

While there is considerable varia- ton in the speed of flight of game birds, the table below may be taken as the most accurate approximation of the comparative speed at which the better known wild birds fly.
 The crow may be taken as an ex- ample of the slower flying bird, with a rate of 35 to 55 feet a second, and with an average speed of 45 miles an hour, while many species of hawks attain the remarkably fast speed of 200 feet a second

Latest reports from France are to the effect that Evers is as fast as ever. The strain of increasing years has not impaired his game in the least. He will have full charge of the team on the field.
 Cy Bates, who served several months for the, Athletics and made an excellent showing, will play third. Bates promised to develop into a real find for Connie Mack, but when the call to arms sounded he followed Gowdy's lead and jumped into action Overseas he has played fine ball whenever he has had the opportunity and is a splendid addition to the all star aggregation that will tour the A.
