This cablegram from France has just

1t calls attention to what our men
overseas regard as one great deficiency
in the equipment of the United States
troops. Base ball is still our national
game, even over there in Flanders. and
the basemen object to taking hard
throws from across the diamond with
their hare hands.
Fighting men must have their play.
To the Y. NJ. G. A. the government has
intrusted the task of supervising the
athletic recreation of hundreds of thou
sands of men. It's no small job.
Here Is an Incomplete list of the ath-
letic material required to start the ball
rolling among the men of the expedi-
tionary force in France: 1850 base
balls and 1a.0oo bats. 5000 felders'
gloves, 1000 catchers' mitts. 11.2oo
foot balls of various kinds, 1000 sets of
boxing gloves and 2.400 volley balls.
