BASKETBALL POPULAR
THE FRENCHMtN

Paris, July. - Basketball has
come to stay in France. being more
sure in its tenure than baseball for
the reason that II is not so difficult
for adults to learn. One must begin
baseball in boyhood to play well, but
basketball can be acquired in a few
months.
The French entered a basketball
team In the inter-allied games not
with the idea of wrestling a victory
from the Americans but because the
game had become popular with the
poilu and in French athletic circles.
Frank Kieeberger. former trainer at
the Unive rsity OF California. and now
q Y. NJ. c. A. secretary in France,
trained the French team for the
inter-allied games az he had trained
the teams which contested for the
championship series in the French
army. France and Italy have de-
veloped a keen rivalry In the game,
and contests between them are sure
to be continued after the American
influence has been withdrawn.
Basketball, SO popular In America.
is an invention OF the athletic depart
ment of the Y. NJ. c. A. and was first
played exclusively by ~" men in the
states. Then the colleges and ath-
letic clubs adopted the game and
made 1t national. Now France Is
making It international.

Bucharest, June 22.-When the Am

Relief Administration commenced work
here several months ago, sugar was
selling at $3.50 a pound, and almost
impossible TO obtain even at that price.
Today it is still very scarce, but can
be purchased at somewhere around 81
due to the large relief shipments.

milk, about 5000 tons of fat, and S'ooo

participated in a great demonstration

much to improve the situation.
Food is not the only commodity

is in great need of cloth and thread.
