Lo-AMERICAN BASEBALL
 SEASON OPENED SATURDAY
Army Teams Defeat Sailors by Score
 of to 6.

London, Saturday, May 18.-An eleven inning game marked the open ing of the Anglo-American baseball season today. The score was: Army [, Il, B. Navy 6, 5, 6.
 Admiral Sims threw out the first ball to General Riddle. The umpire was Arie Latham, former New York Giant star It was the first baseball game ever played at the arsenal foot ball grounds of the Highbury.
 The spectators included Admiral Palmer of the British navy, Captain William Archer Redmond, son of the late John Redman, and many London CTS who saw the American game for the first time:
 The American rooters were so ex- cited in the ninth inning, with the score a tie, that three airplanes sailed over the field almost unnoticed. The grandstand was colorful, with the wo- mems dresses, the American and Brit ish khaki and the various shades of the blue worn by the American and British sailors. It was ideal baseball weather and many fans were without their coats for the first time this spring. When the Americans stretched" after the seventh inning, the police attracted by 1 the unusual scene, started an inyestl- gation.
 The rooters called the navy team the | Depth Bomb Shooters" and the army was known as the Grenade Throw 1 CTS" The Londoners were much am
 used by the American baseball slang. 1 A league has been organized with three army and one navy teams from
 the American forces and four Canadian
 teams from the London, headquarters. 1 The attendance was about 1000.

Sunday afternoon at the Falls the team from the Tenth Co. at Fort H. G. Wright defeated the All-Norwich team by the score of 4 to 2 All Norwich outplayed the soldiers on the offense. but weakness in fielding cost them the game. Brooks pitched great ball, holding the soldiers to two hits With decent support he would have shut out the Tenth Co. The fort team was composed of good ball players who played nearly perfect ball on the defense, Carroll being the only entrant in the error column. Elkins, because of his conspicuous position, was the star for the soldiers.
 For AH-Norwich, Clabby was the star of the game. He got two hits out of four times at bat and pulled off two grandstand catches in the out field, starting a double play on one of them. Fox at third base appeared to be a find, fielding his position per fectly and getting two hits at three times at bat. Bunk Walsh was forced to retire in the ninth inning after be- ing hit wit ha pitched ball, and Couni- han went in behind the bat, Fisher go- ing to short.
 The crowd was one of the largest of the season and was generous in it's applause, especially to Clabby. They also did not hesitate to express their disapproval of the decisions of Ra- vens, the soldier umpire. To dis interested onlooker Ravens did seem

and the Flag of Democracy symbol of the Griffith Fund has made it's ap- pearance in many windows on the street and as auto decorations At the top is the eagle emblem and the stripes of red and white with touch of blue in the eagle, this all stand ing for America.
 In the middle of the blue, white and red of France with the rooster rampant and striking, and at the bot tom is the flag of Great Britain with the British lion ready for all corners. It is stirring combination and it all goes to make up handsome flag.
 The idea just now is to have the fans purchase these flags, the money received for them going to help swell the fund for the baseball equipment of the soldiers. It's display shows that the owner has done his bit in providing money for the boys who are to do our fighting. but like to play between times.
 General Pershing and many other prominent army officers have person. ally approved of the Clark Griffith fund, and have lent their hearty sup port to the idea. At many of the big league parks the players go out among the fans before the game starts and sell the flags to the fans turning over the money thus received to the speci- fled collectors who make returns di- rectly to the fund

The Academy dropped another game of l9 to 10. Fitzgerald was no puzzle to the New London lads but their way to victory was made easy by eighteen errors behind Fitzy, every player ex- cept the rightfielder offending and they only had one chance between them. Counihan started on short and Mcknight behind the bat but in the fifth inning they shifted back to their regular positions at catch and second.

 Without Baseball Equipment.

One has to travel around the United States army camps just now with the baseball season just getting well un- der way to realize the great kork that Clark Griffith, manager of teh Washington American league baseball club, has been doing. with his bat and ball fund. The American soldier takes to baseball as to no other sport and it is hard for the enlisted men and the drafted members, too, to secure enough equipment unaided to play the national game.
 A number of the baseball teams on their practice season tours through the southland turned over a number of bats and balls and other equipment to the soldiers. but this was but a drop in the bucket. Thousands upon thousands of our soldier boys yet lack baseball supplies, thousands and thou sands in this country and as many more lover tf1ere.'
