someone connected with this detach'

lent work Mrs. White is doing for the
men of this camp.
Soon after the detachment settled
in their camp, Mrs. White came to
visit the Colonel. Immediately she
began looking after the health and
welfare OF the men. She did such
valuable work as supplying many
needed sweaters and other articles
which went a long way towards max

HIGH RAILROAD RATES
ARE BURDEN TO CLUBS

The increased railroad rates will
add to the heavy financial burdens OF
the major league nagnateS. It il es-
timated that each OF the sixteen clubs
travel 10000 miles during the playing
season.
In addition TO the new mileage rates
each player must have a sleeping car
berth. Including the war taxes, II Is
figured that travelling expenses this
year will total more than $4,000 for
the two leagues. or an average OF
more than $4,000 for each club.
II is believed that as a result Of
the new rates. the clubs will decide
to carry not more than fourteen or
fifteen men on the road in order "a
save expenses. Under former condi-
lions managers thought nothing OF
buying tickets for at least twenty
players.
