ATHLETES MUST SHOW SHAPE
selves at Various Training Camps in Condition.

Baseball players will not be pamper- ed athletes this year-not by any man. ner of means. With a training limit of 30 days, it is up to the players to present themselves at training camp in good condition. No time can be wasted in removing the superfuous collection of adipose tissue accumu- lated through the easy winter months. The athletes must do their own reduc- ing at home.
 Other ball clubs are to follow the scheme, and letters are going all over the country notifying the athletes of the diamond to be up and doing. They will have to start exercising in home gymnasiums, or if none are handy they will have to inprovise training quar- ters for themselves. It is hoped by this means to get in at least two weeks of work which ordinarily is done at the clubs expense in some southern training camp.

GOLFERS MAKE A VAST ARMY
1t Is Estimated That Recruits of Game Are 100000 Year-Most Pop
 uIar Sport.

Although there is no way of aseer- taining accurately the number of new recruits enrolled as golf devotees each season, it has been estimated that not fewer than 100000 join the ranks every year. And those who are in a posi- Ition to judge say this estimate is con- servative. There is no doubt that golf now has more actual participants than any other sport.
 Baseball has thousands of players and millions of spectators each season, but when it comes to actual players, golf unquestionably has more than baseball. This is true because there are no age limits or weight limits in golf. A great many people play golf to make weight, but if they had to make weight to play-well that would be different.
 There are approximately 11,000 golf courses in this country. This number does not include the links laid out on many private estates. There is no way of finding out how many of these there are. If it were possible, the total num- Der of courses would be greatly in, creased.

Fordham university lost another good athlete when Edmund J. Dale, captain of this years track team, re signed and left college in answer to a call to the celors from the United States naval reserve.

Last year he came out for the track team and ran a fine race for FOrdham in the annual relay car nival of the University of Pennsyl- vania.
 Dale is the third Fordham athletic captain of a major sport for this year to get into the "big game" Bull Lowe, who had been elected captain of the 1917 eleven, has been on the firing line for several months with the Fordham university ambulance unit, and Dick McGinn, captain-elect of the 1918 nine, is now stationed at the Charlestown navy yard as a member of the United States naval reserve.

CHAPTER VI-continued.

That man can't swim. He's drown. ing!' Lucille shouted. Wont some body save him?
 ''I'll get him." I immediately volun- teered briefly.
 You'll be drowned yourself" Lucille protested.
 No, he won't" Bopp assured her. 'eMonty can swim like turtle. I've of ten seen him in the tank at the Ath- letic club. Besides, from fasting he's as full of air as life preserver."
 I disengaged my hand from Kent, who was next to me in the line, and struck out for the spot where I had last seen the head just before it had disappeared.
 By a freak of luck I was in time. The body rose to the surface just in front of me, and I grabbed it before it could sink again. It was a woman, and lowed her easily by her hair. Soon I was again in shallower water where I was able to stand. I turned and picked her up. She was still in- sensible.
 It was not until had almost reached shore that I noticed anything pecul. far about the young woman. I almost dropped her when happened to glance down and discovered that she was clad In the silk tights, doublet and boots of Rosalind in "As You Like It."

 "Yes; marriage as an institution may be all right for the average intellect, but man like Ned Blaney must not tie his genius down to the height attain able by woman.'
 Med Blaney," I repeated. "That telegram must have been for him."
 'fIs there telephone?'' inquired the passenger.
 We escorted him to it in a body.
 Over the wire he asked for the best hotel in Fair View. That was a cinch for the operator.
 Hello.
 "Is MT. N. Blaney registered there? '"Thank you. Will you see if he is in his room?
 "Just gone out? When he comes in will you please tell him to call up"- He turned to US. What is the num- Der of this telephone?"

MAJORS FAVOR MANY
 PRELIMINARY GAMES
Several Exhibition Contests
 Scheduled by Big Clubs.
Eight of Ten Teams Will Tour With Rivals En Route North From South ern Training camps-others
 Follow Usual Plans.

Ten major league clubs will devote from week to ten days of their spring training season this year to ex- hibition contests with teams from their rival leagues.
 Eight of the ten clubs will tour with rival league teams en route northward from Dixie, and the two St. Louis clubs are planning to stage their an- nual spring series in the Mound City.
 The teams which are scheduled to hook up in exhibition tours, exclusive of the Cards and Browns, are as fol- lows:
 Cincinnati Reds and Detroit Tigers.
 New York Giants and Cleveland h. dians.
 New York Yankees and Boston Braves.
 Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Red Sox.
 Other big league teams, regardless of whether or not all arrangements for spring training have been announced to date, will follow their usual train ing programs. playing exhibition con- tests with minor league clubs as they trek back home to open the major league schedules on April 16.
 American League Clubs.
 American league clubs may spend few days longer in training than their National league rivals if they wish to do so. There is a ruling in the Ma tional league which limits clubs to month of training, and because of this rule no club in the mother circuit will start active training earlier than March 16.
 As was the case in 1916. the Chicago Cubs will cover more territory than any other team on their training trip. Weeghman's team will train at Pasa- dena, Cal, and will probably be the first to leave for camp as the trip to. the Golden state will consume all of week.
 The worlds champion White Sox will hie themselves to Mineral Wells, Tex, just as they did last year. Co., miskey's team should be a great draw l ing card in minor league cities in the middle West, which will be visited on. the way back to the Northland. The Giants will train at Marlin and the St. Louis teams may also train in Texas.
 Camps of Other Teams.
 The Dodgers and Red Sox are sehed- uled to train at Hot Springs, Ark, and Washington will return to Augusta, Ga, while the Cleveland Indians will visit New Orleans once again. The Phillies and Athletics are scheduled to condition themselves in Florida as i'per usual" and the Pirates, having deserted Hot Springs, will train in. Georgia. according to plans announced some time ago.
 The fact that so many major league clubs will chance joint exhibition tours in minor league territory shows that the club owners are confident of get ting results despite the war, for more | interleague exhibition games will be played this year than ever before by the minors.

ITALY SAYS BALLS
 AND BATS USELESS

z"Baseballs and bats are use less toys" is the dietum pro nounced by the Italian customs authorities in placing a ban on the importation of these articles for Americans in Italy.
 Recently the Americans pur- chased the few baseballs avail able here and then ordered more from the United States. There also is a shortage of bats.
 Thomas N. Page, the Ameri- can ambassador, has been peti- toned to secure an exemption of baseball equipment from the re- gently enacted law against the importation of all luxuries. It is claimed the game is necessary to maintain the health of the Americans.

He Didn't Know.

In a murder trial six experts were examined. Most of them had a na- tional reputation. A hypothetical ques- ton of 10000 words, which it required two hours to read, was asked of Doc tor Jelley, a Boston expert on insanity. The learned doctor answered the ques- ton in three words: "I don't know" A frank answer, but rather perplexing to counsel.-Case and Comment
