COMEDY FOR BASEBALL FANS
President of. San Francisco Would
Hire Nick AItrock and Others
to Amuse Spectators.

After-war fashions will give us lot
Of new things liz many endeavors and
it will bring new things into profess
sional baseball, too. Take the idea OF
DIR. Charles FL. Strub, president of the
San Francisco club of the Pacific coast
league, as an example. The doctor
wants comedy and "a little jazz" in the
game. Here's what he suggests:
eff 1 have my way we will instill a
little jazz into baseball out this way
next season. 1 want men like Nick
Altrock, Germany Schaefer and young
Sawyer, real baseball comedians, in
the league to put little life into the
sport. If can / will get one and pos
sibly two of these men for the local
club to do utility roles and furnish
some fun for the fans. The games
here last year were too dead. want
fighting ball club and a noisy one."

Fish Trapped in Tomato Can.

Early in November Allen Within Of
Blairsville, N Y, filed tomato can
nearly full of worms and went to the
lake to fish for pike. He anchored his
rowboat near Lone Bar and proceeded
to fish.
Late in the afternoon Within placed
his catch in a bag, picked up the can,
which has half-full of angleworms, and
threw it into the water. He says that
when the can struck the water large
fish jumped out, hit the can with its
tail, and the can filed with water and
sank.
A few days later Within again went
to the lake to fish. He anchored his
boat so rods from shore and had fished
for nearly an hour when he discovered
a tin can floating on the water. The
peculiar motion of the can attracted
his attention, he says, and he rowed
the boat to it, and with landing net
scooped the can into the boat. Great
was his surprise, he says, when he
raised the can from the water to see a
large fish with it's head in the can.

MERCER NEVER LOST FAITH
Prosecuted Belgian Cardinal Always
Confident That God Would Save
the Unhappy Country.

Cardinal MERCER, archbishop of Ma
lines, Belgium, was not actually i'm
prisoned by the Germans, but his free
dom was restricted. His offense was
the issuing of a pastoral letter to his
people in January, 1915, in which he
said: Il have gone through most Of
f1e places in my diocese which have
been wasted. What / have
seen of the ruins and the ashes passes
anything that, in spite of my most
acute fears, / could ever have mag
ined. /. Churches, schools, char
liable institutions, hospitals, converts,
to considerable number, are unfit for
use or are in ruins. Whole villages
have almost disappeared. God
will save Belgium, my brothers, we
cannot doubt it. Let us say, rather,
he is saving her. Is there single
patriot who does not feel that glory
has come to Belgium? Which of us
would have the courage to tear out
the last page of our history? Which
of us can look without pride on the
splendor of the glory that our MUIR
dered-country has won?"

SEE GREAT BOOM IN SPORTS
Many Returning Canadian Soldiers
Have Picked Up New Games
While Fighting in France.

Canada is looking forward to "a
great boom in all branches of sport
with the completion of peace. The
devotees of football, lacrosse Soc
Ger, cricket, track and field athletics,
lawn bOwlers, baseball, the turf and
kindred recreations, are already
pricking up their ears. Canadian
Sportsman" is quoted in the Hamil-
ton Herald as saying:
"An important factor will. be the re-
turn of Canada's 100000 soldiers from
France. These men have learned how
to become participants in sport, and
they have learned many new forms
of sport. They have been living in
the open and they will want consid-
cradle outdoor life when they get
back. Outdoor sport will appeal to
them as it has never done before"
The fact that many of these return
ing athletes are cripples will not bar
them from participating in many
forms of sport. Some Of the appar-
emily hopelessly handicapped ones
have already proved their surprising
ability.

RENAISSANCE OF ALL SPORT
Baseball, Boxing, Tennis and Other
Forms of Athletic Activity to
Gain in Popularity.

With the end of the world war, the
renaissance of sport should begin at
once. In the next few years baseball,
football, boxing, tennis, racing, golf
and other forms of athletic activity
should attain a popularity never be-
fore known.
The wonderful work of the United
States army in France attests to the
value of athletics in the training of
men as nothing else could, writes
John P. Sinnott in New York Eve
ming Mail. Our boys were not bred
soldiers. They were bred athletes.
But it did not take them long to ac-
quire such military training as fitted
them to more than hold their own on
the battlefield with the picked troops
Of the German empire.
There will be plenty of baseball the
coming year. The game has spread
to France, England and Italy. Wheth-
er or not the big league stars in the
army and navy are mustered out in
time to play in 1919, there seems to
be little doubt that the National and
American leagues will resume play
ing.
The nation will demand its national
game. It will need it as never before.
1t will need and desire all other forms
of competitive sport. A renaissance
is at hand.

EDDIE NEARING HAD
TO DEFEAT BORRELL
His Captain and Crew Bet on
Him So He Lands Money.
Story Goes to Show Natural Rivalry
Between Various Branches OF,
American Military Service
Followed Orders.

They tell story about Eddie Near
ing, middleweight boxer, now aboard
an American warship, which goes to
show the intense natural rivalry be-
tween the various branches of the
American military service.
1t seems that Meanings ship was
being held UP at French port some
time ago and that the members of the
crew, including Nearing, were allowed
to take a jaunt to Paris. There, in
their meanderings, they met up with
members Of the crew of another Amer
lean vessel which boosted of Joe BOr-
rell, former Philadelphia middle
weight.
The argument regarding the respec-
tive merits of Borrell and Nearing
waged heavy between the crews, until
finally it was arranged that the two
boxers would meet to settle the dis
pute. Nearing was not on hand when
the discussion arose but that did not
matter toI the gobs. He was signed
up by proxy to battle Borrell.
On returning to the vessel Nearing
was notified by the captain that a
match had been arranged for him..
"Who's the guy I'm to meet?" asked
Nearing.
whats the difference who he is?'
answered the captain. II don't remem-
Der his name, but 1 do know that l
have $500 posted on you and you've
got to come through and win."
Orders is orders in the navy and so
Nearing just had to beat up Borrell.
incidentally he saved the captains
hundred and won pile of change for
the other members of the crew, all Of
whom put their months salaries on
Nearing's chances. What could fell
low do but win under such circum-
stances?

TRIBUTE TO FRENCH WOMAN
American Traveller Tells Of Her Good
Qualities and the Great Debt the
Nation Owes Her.

The French woman is brought up to
neglect none of the arts that attract
men. Even in munition plants the
woman worker knows where the mir
ror hangs, often has her powder pun
at hand and gives unconsciously the
deft touch to the hair, writes Lyman
Powell in the Designer. If it has
sometimes seemed to us that the
French wife overlooks too easily the
Inconsistencies Of a husband, it is be-
cause we have failed to understand
that French women are expected to
keep themselves SO attractive to the
mate after marriage as well as before
that he will not want to wander over
fields.
If it be asked what woman is suf-
ficient all through life for the double
duty of being a good wife and good
mother, / name you France, and add
that French women are in this regard
the marvel of their sex and the strong
est bulwarks of monogamy.
And all talk about the lower birth
rate in France is beside the mark. The
child is held so precious in the French
mind that he usually remains dream
child till the right conditions are in
sight for his upbringing. If allowance
be made for that fringe of the unpro-
ductive found in every land, it is
doubtful whether the birth rate among
the high-minded and responsible is
lower over there than over. here.
The French woman cannot be sum-
med up in a phrase. Contrary to the
general opinion, she is simple, practi-
cal, sensible, tenacious, deliberate,
cautious, farsighted and affectionate.
She is sensitive but not sentimental.
She is talkative but not superficial.
She is ,ebullient but enduring. She is
a compound of heart and head, which
explains Joffre, Petain Foch and the
Poilu, who have fought these four
years past our battle as well as their
own and have been the surprise of
every friend as well as the exaspera-
ton Of the foe.
If Waterloo was won on the playing
fields of Elton, Rugby, Harrow, GER
tainly the Marine, Verdun, the Somme
were won in the French house where
the French woman lives and manages,
smiles and plans, suffers and carries
on"

Lafayet.. Home Shelters Orphans.

IaIdyeJ'. F1OInS 0ncILcTS OTpudHSs
The old home of General Lafayette,
at Chavaniac, a town in the depart
ment Of Haute-Loire, is being used as
an American home for French war
orphans. The Lafayette fund con-
ducts the shelter.
A. hundred children from the devas-
tated regions are at Chavaniac. A
modern schoolhouse and hospital
have been built near the old chateau.
The orphans learn English. They
are being brought up with the aim of
sending them to America after the
war for the completion of their pro.
fessional or commercial education.
They are learning American ways and
ideas. In America, each child has a
godfather who will take over its edu-
cation later.
The best care that American sci
ence can give is afforded the children.
The Lafayette fund is a wealthy or
ganization and intends to greatly ex'
tend its work.

Eerncious Rhino.

The rhinoceros would be just as
formidable as the buffalo were his
sight as good. But he has to go a bit
slowly because of dependence on the
sense Of smell. Once within few
yards of his object, where his weak
eyes can distinguish it-then look out!
His charge is something terrible. and
the only safe place is a tree. When
African natives are asked what ami
NAL they most fear, nearly all of them
do not hesitate to say the rhino.

to be of such grave nature that 1t is
likely to keep Barry from ever again
being able to hold place in major
league baseball, should he desire to
return to the national pastime when
Uncle Sans forces are demobilized.
Barry did little playing during the
past season, and the fact that he is
about thirty-two years old will miti-
gate against his ever playing again

IRISH DON'T LIKE BASEBALL
First International Contest Did Not
Take With Natives-Game Played
on Muddy Field.

aI-ishmen in Ireland must differ from
those in the United States, or the real
sports have all gone TO war. A Dub
lin dispatch says that the first inter-
national game staged there several
days ago between team composed of
American troops and a squad made up
of Canadian soldiers did not seem to
take very well with the Irish popula-
ton.
The weather, it is believed, is the
main reason for Dublin turning down
the game. 1t, was played in puddles
and the men taking part in the game
were mud from head to foot, which
evidently did not agree with the Irish
sport idea.

During a lull in one Of the
