FRENCH GIRLS FURNISH
 INCENTIVE ID STUDY

LONDON, Aug 10-The army is solving more than one national diff culty. In pre-war days, perhaps ow- ing 10 their insularity. the English were not what might be called good linguists.
 But the army has fixed all that. It's grammar might leave d lot to be de sired. but when il comes to making itself understood, the army gets there"
 Practically all of the moys have mastered the essentials of the French language. For instance. they have all learned to say Bong soir ma 'amselle; voulez-vous promener avcc moi?"
 To keep their linguistic accomplish. ments up to the mark. the Americans have joined them. and new phrases have to be adopted
 Guess I've got you trimmed" says the Yankee. as he walks of arm in arm with "ma'amselle," to teach her American"
 "Oui. monsieur mais you are ccr- tainement stung, chirrups the Bel. gian maid
 And thus the English Tommirs and American doughhoys find that the man who can get away with the best French also can get away with tn" best girl-and competition is keen.

SIDE LIGHTS ON THE GAME

Bedford, of the soldiers, is a trick ster, and knows how to handle the ball and attempt to catch man off second.
 Pouch can cover short in good style. He accepted all opportunities. Hamon is a grab-cm-up on third, nothing getting by him. "Hi" must be some swatter for eyerytime he went to bat yesterday he attempted to make hom- CTS.
 ShelIhorn has the "juice" and the way he went around bases would put a marathon racer looking for his laurels.
 Hagstrom has no fear for anything pulled thm right off the bat. even if he does not have a mask, and
 Looney made home once yesterday but his umps said "No".
 The two Jacks, Mathison and Me Phail, are going to be heard from be- fore the season is over.
 Sullivan and Allan are going to make the first team all right.

 What is wanted now, besides un- forms, mask and protector is a back stop and the soldiers say that if some body contributes the lumber or nett ing the backstop will be built.
 Both Brashear and Leonard vii make good men on the mound, each having their own peculiar ball that catches the batter.
