COMISkEY FAvORS MILITARY YEAR" IN BIG LEAGUES

Soldiers at the blg army canton ments will be fed on a big league diet this spring and summer. ac- cording to new plan divulged to- day by Charles A. Comiskey, owner and president of the Chicago White Sox.
 The old Roman favors making this military year" is baseball. He plans to have his world champions play exhibition games at the army training camps. and this probably will include Camp Grant at Rockford.
 The White Sox owner is the ia ther of the idea of major league clubs playing at the army training camps
 Comiskey is eager for his cham pionship team to play at Camp Lo- gan and Camp Grant, owing to the fact that many boys from Illinois are in those cantonments. Speedy Chi cago semi-pro players and few class A men are at camp Grant and Coach Omer could form a strong soldier nine from this material. A Camp Grant White Sox game would be an attraction. and a battle be tween these and the Cincinnati Reds would be appreciated by the soldiers
 Every effort will be made tc entertain the men training to figh' our battles over there" said Com iskey. My park will be thrown op en to the soldiers on special military days. as last season. We hope tt make it the rendezvous of these sol
