SOLDIERS PLAY
BASE BALL WITH
NOVEL OUTFIT
Ex-Leaguer Gets "Chesty''
After Driving Ball to Short
stop; Fielders Need
P0nchos.

Base ban as played behind the lines
by American soldiers is not always
up to the standards of the game at
home, but it is base ball nevertheless.
The paraphernalia is not always up
to-date and the the diamond may be
lacking in the perfect finish found on
the better fields of the big cities, but
these are mere details when the SOL
diers make up their minds to play
base ball. This can be seen from a
description of contest staged not SO
long ago in France.
"The ball was a fearful and won
derful thing, absolutely guiltless OF
any infringement of the American
patents. A round stone, picked up
on the beach, formed its core. Around
this unyielding missile were wrapped
some rags and over this, tire tape.
Surrounding all was piece of canvas,
roughly stitched. 1t was the hardest
and the "deadest" ball ever used in
competition. A giant couldn't have
hit it over 100 feet with a telegraph
pole. and it took a good lick to drive
it even as far as the pitcher. Still
it was ball,
"The heroes who volunteered to act
as catchers in this strange contest re-
fused to face the camouaaged boulder
without some protection so they made
themselves a glove. A couple of old
flannel shirts served as the founda-
ton for this protector. An old shoe
provided leather for the face of the
glove and this was sewn on by the
genius who put the canvas cover on
the ball. The continuance had no
fingers, but was held in place on the
hand with Irvine.
The inhelders and outfelders used
their bare hands and the first base
man, who had to handle swift throws
without protection, had badly bruised
hands at the close of the game.
For bats these ingenius soldiers
cut down some saplings and hewed
them into the desired lengths, shap-
ping the handles with jack knives.
Every time the ball was hit with one
of these green sticks, the wood few
in showers all over the inheld, and the
sap deluged the felders. There was
one ex-leaguer in this queer game,
a player who used to be so fastidious
about his bats that he had to have
them made to order. His admirers in
the bleachers would have had some
trouble in recognizing him as the
young man who picked up the first
sapling that came handy and threw
out his chest when he succeeded in
hitting the ball all the way to the
shortstop."

DUNBOYNE Wins
BELMONT PARK
FUTURITY RACE
Purchase Proves Speediest
Horse, but Fails to Run
Straight; Finishes Third
in Field of IS.

New York, Sept. 14.-Running
straight and true from the rise of the
barrier to the finish, P. A. Clark
chestnut colt, Dunboyne, by Celt-
Work Maid, won the $4,000 Futurity
classic for 2-year-olds over the six
furlong straight away course at Bel
mont park today from field of IS
starters. Sir Barton, owned by Com
modore ]. K. L. Ross of Canada
was second and the Brighton stables
Purchase, we'll backed second
choice, finished third. The winners
time was 1:l2 As.
Dunboyne, we'll supported favor
lite in the betting, ran away twice be-
fore Jockey Schuttinger got him un-
der control for the start. Although
carrying the heavy impost of l27
pounds Dunboyne had plenty of re-
serve speed once the barrier was
sprung and he dominated the run
ming throughout, coming away easily
in the final eighth to win by two
lengths.
The Trump, Sir Barton and Pigeon
Wing were chasing the leader in the
early part of the race, while Thunder
storm ran forwardly all the way, but
Pigeon Wing stepped badly in the
last furlong.
Purchase Speediest Horse in Race.
The sensation of the race was the
wonderful performance of Purchase,
who might have been returned the
winner had he run straight. When
the barrier flew up Purchase propped
and then started at an oblique angle
toward the inner rail, from where he
shot to the outside fence. Before
Jockey 1yke could straighten him
across Purchase was fully eight
lengths behind the field in the first
quarter and then he began to run so
fast that he proved he was by far the
speediest horse in the race. He was
running over the other horses in the
final length and was beaten only a
half length for second money by the
outsider, Sir Barton.
Mormon after a grand race finished
fourth, with the Trump fifth and the
Wilson pair, Thunderstorm and Han
nibal a head apart, next. Grimal-
kin was eighth and the added starter,
Sea Way, ninth, followed home by
Star Hampton, Pigeon Wing, Eff
hcient, Delaware, Farmingdale and
Scots, in the order named.
The winners share of the stake
was $23,360.
Immediately after the race the
Brighton stable challenged the win
ner to a match race with Purchase
at the same weights and distance, and
it is likely that the two may meet at
the Aqueduct track in special
event next Saturday.

ranged by Ruling.

Washington, Sept. l4.-Athletc
sports as formerly pursued, involving
extended trips and specialized train
ing. will not be permitted at colleges
and other institutions having army
students training corps, Col. R. |.
Rees, chairman of the War depart
ment committee on education and
special training, has advised presi-
dents OF such institutions in a letter
made public here today.
1t will be the policy of the COM
mittees, however, strongly to en-
courage athletic sports within each in
stitution and with neighboring insti-
tutions Colonel Rees said, in cases
in which the distances are so short
as to necessitate no interruption OF
the weekly schedule of academic and
military training.
Athletic sports as formerly pur-
sued, involving extended trips and
specialized training, are inconsistent
with the soldiers program of drill
and study" said the letter. athletic
directors and professors of physical
education who are already in the EN-
ploy OF the students training camp
institutions can be used in connec-
ton with intermural sports and for
the assistance of the officers in charge
of military physical training.
THE commanding officer at each
institution will be in charge OF the
physical condition and training Of the
men under his command and will be
responsible for co-ordinating the mill
tary training, routine and discipline
with athletic sports"
After receipt of this letter the presi-
dents OF several colleges wrote to
senator's protesting that the plan
would prevent intercollegiate foot
ball this season and until the end of
the war, with a consequent financial
loss to the schools, which already had
arranged schedules OF games and
made contracts for playing them.
In addition to preventing intercol-
cegiate foot ball the ruling also may
make it impossible for the institu-
tons to participate in intercollegiate
base ball and other sports.

series with the other teams.

the two-game route, In the first
contest they will be faced by the
Longways and in the second by the
Armour lads from Packertown. The
Armours are confident of annexing
their game and securing a hand-hold
on the top rung of the championship

hdent Of winning both games and
practically cinching the bunting.
The first game will be called at
80 p. m, at Rourke park.

great interest in amateur games. A
large crowd was present at the open
ing game of the series last Sunday
and capacity audience is expected

manifested in the Armour Murphy
imbroglio. Andy Graves, who will ap.
pear on the mound for the packers
