Mr.. Johnny Evers, who has just
returned Il Paris after spending ten
days teaching men in the French army
to play baseball. told a Havas o
tributor that there is in the French
army and among the young classes
hat will be called in these two years
a sufficient amount of baseball ele-
ments of quality. The old baseball
champion confessed that he was sur
prised to see the aptitude shown by
the French for the game.
MIR. Evers considers that the base
ball practice will improve launching of
grenades. One ball player who had
never touched a grenade threw one
of these prcjectfles to a range of fifty
nine metres, where a very skilled SOL
der had been only able to throw one
to a range of ffty-three metres"
