CHANGE COMES OVER
ITALY ON BASEBALL
Great Possibilities There for De.
veIopment of Game.
Sport Has Been Virtually Unknown
There, Though Played by Ameri.
can Boys at College in Rome
Declared Too Rough.

John Evers writes from France that
he soon may be sent TO Italy to teach
baseball TO that country's soldiers, and
yet II was only n few months ago the
Italian government refused to permit
n shipment of baseball equipment on
the ground that It was nonessentlal
commodity to be classed as even fr.v-
olous. Italy hasn't been n nation 'fa-
nous for sports, but before the Ameri-
cans get through they may be sending
flood Of Italian recruits up to the big
leagues. Baseball has been. virtually
unknown in Italy, though II has been
played In Rome at college for Amerl-
can boys. For time they played their
games in n public park and natives
looked on In wonder as the boys
caught the hard ball with their bare
hands. 1t finally was stopped by Off
clals, who considered it dangerous. 1t
may be remembered that In the winter
Of 1914 the White Sox and Giants
were refused permit to play a game
In Rome for the same reason. Upon
applying for the permit the officials
examined the ball and asked many
questions concerning the nature Of the
game, then decided 1t was too rough
and too dangerous 10 be allowed.
Since that time the young men OF
Italy have been up against n much
rougher experience than playing base
ball, so the task of teaching them the
American game may be successfully
carried on now.
The climate of Italy Is especially
suitable for baseball, being warm the
year around much as t'is in Califor-
mia. 1t will stir up the fighting spirit
among the men of the Italian army,
and that spirit should live when the
war Is over. 1t might not be surpris-
ing If in few years from now the
pennant winners In the major leagues
of the United States would visit Italy
for a series of contests against ltalys
best. II might even be that In time
American big league teams Will do
their spring training mt Rome or Ma
pies or Milan. 1t isn't much farther
than to California, and besides the
team probably could get back home in
a couple of days by means of 1923
airplane.

TEMPERANCE

Conducted by the National Woman's
THAT ADDITIONAL FIVE WEEKS.

When one stops to consider that this
ration has been spending two and a
half billions dollars year for drink,
1t Is conceded that the government
vas bound by all the rules Of the game
to give us wartime prohibition. Mark
Il. Shaw, statistlclan Of Boston, puts
1t thus:
During the last Liberty loan drive
picked up circular entitled, Turn
the Key on Kalsersm-Invest In Lib
erty Bonds" telling what Liberty bonds
of various sizes would purchase for
the boys "over there" Using these
figures 1t Is interesting to see what we
could do with the money that we pass
over the bar for booze every day while
the boys are In France.
Our drink bill for one day would
pny for any one of the following items,
and for one week it would buy all of
theml Did you think Of this during
w. S. S. week?
1. Buy a S. pair Of shoes for each
Of 100000 men.
2. Purchase gas masks for 253,OOO
men, at $27 each.
3. Clothe and feed 22y830 soldiers In
France for an entire year, at $500
each.
A. Furnish G,S50 motor rolling kitch-
ems, at $1,000 each.
8. Buy 4,566 motor ambulances at

Q. Construct 1877 base hospitals with
500 beds each, ut cost Of $4,000 per

Think of the things we might have
bought for the boys If the country were
going dry January 1, 1919, instead Of
July 1.

proved to be an excellent player. At
ter graduation in 1905 he played with
an Independent club at Lynn, Mass,

are Of Group A, which means that
all are white American citizens.
In Group B there are 7. The def
milton OF this group is as follows;
20 Citizens Of African descent, and
~ dcclarants of African descent
IRON countries with which the Unit
ed States is not at war"
In Group c there are 1856. This
group is defined as follows; I'D
All aliens, not declarants, from coun-

IS not at war, ~ all aliens from
countries with which the United
States is at war, irrespective of
whether or not such persons have
declared their intention to become
citizens, and 60 non-citizen Indians.
The first Registration Day showed
approximately the enrolment of 3d.
500. W~ashington's estimate on the
second was that it would be 10 per
of the first. The second in
this state was only a little greater
5 per cent. Of the first. This
is for the reason that so many who
would have been included in the
second had enlisted and already
were serving with the colors before
the second arrived,
