ADOPTS BASEBALL
American Game Important Part OF
Training, Says General Pennella

American Game Important Part OF
Training, Says General Pennella
One of the curious effects of the war
is the international interest which has
been aroused in American sports.
Italy apparently is the most recent
victim of the baseball germ. Football,
as played in America, as well as the
national game of this country, also
has taken hold of the popular inter-
est in Italy The Gazetta dello Sport,
one of the most influential sport jour
nails of that country, is raising a fund
for the purchase of baseballs, bats
and footballs and the distribution of
prizes among the soldiers TO stimulate
competition.
General Penella, Commander of the
Seond Italian Army. in a letter to the
Gazetta dello Sport, says that football
and baseball games are of inestimable
value i'm the training for war He
praises the initiative of the Gazetta
dello Sport and says that he firmly be-
lieves that the stimulation of baseball
and football competition among the
various units of the Italian Army will
have the most gratifying and import
ant results in maintaining the morale
of the troops General Pennella is es-
pecially pleased with baseball as an
aid to training and the maintenance of
the morale of the troops.
Il look upon this form of sport" he
says, "as an integral part of military
training. Solace and diversion are es-
pecially necessary in trench warfare.
During the inevitable lulls in this kind
of warfare the morale of the men is.
likely to suffer, and they need the kind
of recreation that will chase away
gloom and stimulate the spirit Sports
and games take out of a man the NOR
al and physical kinks contracted in the
trenches. I consider it matter of
vital Importance to the nation that in
terest in sport be stimulated, not only
in the army but also among the civil
ian population"

SHOULD GLASS EYE
OR WOODEN LEG
Be A Bar To Army Service2 A
Certain Everett Hornby
Wants To Know
WHAT THE EXAMS. SHOW

Having a wooden leg should not bar
a man from army service in the opin-
ion of Everett Hornby, of Moreland
street, Roxbury, who tried TO enlist
at the British and Canadian Recruit
ing Mission, 81 West Baltimore street,
yesterday. Incidentally it is the sec
ond time that Hornby has made the at
tempt, and he declared that he had
been turned down yesterday, that he
is going to grow q mustache and re-
turn again. some day, and fool the
doctors Hornby has such a splendid
control of his wooden leg that he does
not even limp. and the non-commis-
stoned officer who made out his en-
listment papers did not suspect that
any part of Hornby's anatomy was
wood.
Hornby was smiling when he enter
ed the medical room, and greeted the
doctors as if they were long-lost
brothers.
Il suppose you are looking for
good soldier" he said to the doctor.
"We surely are" answered the doc
tor. do you think that you can quail
ify?" Eyes, sir. in the first class"
replied Hornby. ana he was assigned
TO a booth to disrobe Following a
thud of his shoes in a corner, the
doctor heard something that sounded
like wood grinding against wood, and
looked up. and before them was one
of the finest wooden legs that human
ingenuity has even devised
That ended Hornby's physical ex-
animation, but it was almost half
hour before he could be persuaded to
leave the medical room, and when he
did go out, he left behind him some
opinions of the medical boards in
general that most newspapers would
refuse to print Hornby was proceed
ed by a man with a glass eye, and
another with one arm, both of whom
were given rejection cards because
they pleaded that they needed them
to satisfy Philadelphians who had
been jeering at them and calling them
slackers.

A WAR GARDEN
AND ITS VIRTUES

Beneath the coat that bears a SER
vice pin on its lapel there beats a
heart torn by conflicting emotions and
in the home where the service flag is
dislayed in the window a mother
thinks of, longs and plans for her SOL
dier or sailor son.
We are at war and every heart is
mind is weary with endless question
ings
We wonder how many thousands
have found the mind eased and troub-
lous thoughts banished by the war
garden?
The mother who solicitously tends
the roses and flowers-those glorious
children of the sun and shower
think of her boy, the flower he loved
best, and resolve to keep her heart
and home as bright and sunny as her
garden for the sake of that son.
The father hoeing his vegetables,
making the ground laugh a harvest,
must draw the parallel between the
thrifty rows and his strong and stall
wart son who is doing his bit to save
humanity.
He must rejoice in the feeling that
he is also doing his share by produc-
ing food to bring victory-helping
feed his son, keep him fit and well so
that along with his comrades he may
beat the Hun.
Many a fear and heartache are be-
ing buried in the war gardens of the
country Many a new vision is
glimpsed by the man digging among
his garden truck, many sustaining
thought born, many new resolves
made and fine action decided upon.
Yes. assuredly there is virtue in a
war garden even as there is virtue in
all Gods green out of doors.

IL should be easier. too, because Of the
big American consumption of sugar in
the form of candy. preserves and other
tion, under the saving plan now urg-
ed will still be about 60 pounds a
year apiece. or 1914 ounces a week,
perhaps four times as much as the
French are getting.
The French bread ration has been
cut down one-third. If it were cut
much more, there wouldn't be any
bread ration. And remember that
bread plays a much more important
part in the French diet than il does
in ours-it is normally half the French
meal
II is up to us to see that the French
do not go any hungrier than they are
already. They work and fight as
bravely on their present reduced diet
as they ever did: but there is a dan
ger point that must not be passed. and
there is certainly a limit TO what this

Every handful of wheat flour, every
piece OF wheat bread that any Ameri-
can consumes beyond his absolute

There is only one thing any self-re-
specting American can do-save for
France, which saved the world from

for statements or rumors to the eff
feet that it will soon be impossible to
buy woolenss or woolen clothing suf-
ficient to meet actual requirements of
the civilian population"
In the face of this situation, there
have been efforts made to boost the
price of both raw cotton and raw
wool, and to raise the price of cloth
and clothing to exorbitant heights.
The public naturally doubts whether
present prices are warranted, not to
mention the threats of further rises.
No grounds whatever for specula-
tive increases are apparent The war
industries board has expressly notified
clothing manufacturers, jobbers and
retailers that the wool, whose scare
ity they feared. will be adequate and
will be eQuitably distributed to meet
all public and private needs.
II il proves necessary, the govern
ment will proceed to penalize specu-

There is scarcely phase of Ameri-
