MAY USE PAPER
UNIFORMS SOON

Baseball players may be wearing
paper suits soon. Uncle Sam uses a
lot of flannel to clothe his fighting
men, and there may not be enough
left to supply baseball uniforms. If
the bold athletes have to wear paper
suits they will be mighty chary about
sliding to bases, for if the suit started
to tear the blushing player would find
himself adorned in only his native
modesty.
Some of the players would be
wrapped in coarse brown paper if the
fans had their way.

BARTFIELD TRIMS
JACK M'CARRON
Sammy Schiff Has Sensa-
tional Fray With Robi-
deau, Who Wins

When Soldier Bartfield got through
ing in six rounds at the Olympia A. A.,
Philadelphia, the ring suggested a
front line hospital. four sanguinary
bouts having preceded the main one.
McCarron. who comes from Allen
town, did not appear to be in the best
of condition, and slowed the bout by
holding Bartfield on all possible occa-
sions. Because of this fact there was
little real action, and Few decisive
blows were struck. Bartheld landed
the third round, when he got over a
fight-cross which resulted in McCar-
ron's face rapidly taking crimson
hue, the effect being due to an injur-
ed proboscie.
Soldier Bartfield landed all of the
few effective blows and was clearly
entitled to the decision at the finish.
By far the best bout on the card
was the semiwindup between
Sammy Schiff and Young Robideau,
which resulted in a victory for the
latter after eighteen sensational min
utes of hard fighting.
1t was an infighter against a long
range boxer. with the infighter hav-
nicely for three rounds. Furnishing
Robideau numerically with a COM
plete assortment of punches. In the
fourth. however, the Philadelphia
boy bored in and shot over half a
dozen punches in quick succession tc
his opponents body. Suddenly he
brought his right across the jaw, and
Schiff went down in heap. :.
At the count of nine he arose to his
! feet, groggy. but managed to finish
the bout, but was punished for hi.
gameness by being the recipient of g
gruelling beating.

Stone Wall Line For
Tech Against Wilkes-Barre

After having rest following the
Mount Carmel contest. the Teen foot

prepare for the game on saturday with
#Wilkes- Barre High school. Tech en-
tered the initial game without the
services of Lauster. kohlman, Arnold
and Bihl. This quartet Will be in the
7. .lineup against Wilkes Barre, and
should make the line a great deal
stronger than in the first contest. All
are line players.
Tech has a reputation of never hav-
ing lost a contest to Wilkes-Barre,
and when the two elevens meet Sat
urday afternoon, the local aggregation
will strive to maintain that record.
AT the present time Coach Smith has
in mind to use his regulars with the
help of the LauSter- INohlman, Arnold
Bihl quartet. one player who will be
missed is Phillips, who cracked bone
in his right ankle in the Mount Car
mel game. He will be out of the line
up for four weeks

as much excitement as the rope

made a tremendous squirt in the last
lap and ran into the tape we'll ahead.

on such occasions. Then there was
the demonstration OF the youth of

Work of Catholics in
the War Is Described

Washington.-The National Cath
olic War Council issued from its
headquarters in this city a handbook
describing the war work done by
Catholics. The War Council is COM
posed of the fourteen archbishops
of the country. with His Eminence
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of
Baltimore, at it's head. Through n
dozen bureaus and committees on
special war activities, as well as al
most a thousand mems and women'a
organizations. every variety of war
welfare work is directed and co-ordi-
mated from the headquarters of the
War Council at 932 Fourteenth
street in this city.
Not only is the war work of the
Knights of Columbus and that of
scores of other organizations includ-
ed in the Natinal Catholic War
Council, described in the new hand
book, but it contains chapters eX-
planning the possibilities of Catholic
cooperation with every Government
department or agency and such sup
Elementary agencies for cooperative
war work as the Red Cross, Y. M.
C. A., Jewish Welfare Board, Trav-
elers' Aid, Y. w. c. A. and General
Wartime Commission of the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of
Christ in America.
The handbook also points out that
the War Council does not interfere
in any way with diocesan local war
activities, but leaves to them full
scope. on the contrary, it offers it's
service to those diocesan war coun-
ellis and is most willing to render any
assistance in its power to supply
local needs or to remedy defects.
This cooperation can be accom-
plished only through the ordinary of
the dioceses. The national organiza-
ton seeks to bring into co-ordinated
service ali the resources of the
church in the United States. For rs
full completion every individual
Catholic must be reached. The en-
tire flock must actually support it's
shepherd. the parishes must zeal
ously cooperate under the leader
ship of their bishop.
