NATIONAL GAME is
if aJiIN THE GOLDEN AGE


~Baseball is coming back into its
own. The national game is facing its
Golden age" Is the statement OF the
baseball writer's as they have watch
ed the universal resumption OF
league baseball in the United States,
according to a dispatch from Wash
ington. Send us baseball material.
The camp Is baseball madl" is an
insistent appeal of athletic directors
in the army camps to the athletic
division, commission on training
camp activities. Two thousand five
hundred teams have commenced TO
play for the championship of the A.
u. F." is the word from over seas.
Baseball is now being played be-
tween the University of Paris and
1he University Of Lyons" In every
avenue of play the great national
game is appealing to its followers
again this year, after season In
which 1t was popular in the army
camps only.
Without question, baseball was
and is the king of sports in the army
camps. Last year two million men
over two continents" played the
great national game while wearing
the khaki. This year. 22,5O0 men
are playing as the official represen-
tatlyes of some unit OF the expedi-
tionary forces in the championships
of different camps and bases, the
winning teams to meet later in Paris.
Hundreds OF baseball teams in addi-
Siun to these are playing around the
different camps. In the camps OF
the United States baseball is being
played at every opportunity. Travis.
from its southern advantage, report
cd 124 games OF baseball In one
week and in most OF the camps. from
TWO to twenty games are played
weekly by officially constituted
league teams. On an average two
and three wildcat" games are play
ed for every league game contested.
More men are at present playing ball
in the army. than have played in the
last five years.
Even good friends OF baseball,
however. are inclined to doubt IL
The term OF golden age OF baseball
can be applied to the future. 1t is
their opinion that the zenith Of the
game was reached last year and
that It will be many years before
the total OF players again reaches
that OF 1918 II seems certain that
league baseball will flourish. as the
opening days have been those OF
large attendance. This is due in
some measure to the smaller econom-
fc pressure for workers and the num- !
Der Of new lovers of the game de-
veloped In the camps. Baseball had
its first introduction to the country
at large from the men who returned
from the ranks in the sixties and
shis war seems TO he destined to add
:. new phase to not only baseball but
all athletics This is that baseball,
as well as all athletics, is for the
physical development of all men and
not for few. From this angle, the
game that gains the most men as its
players Is in the highest ascendency.
Even this YEAR. with the reduced
number Of men In the different
camps, more baseball games will BE-
played in the camps than in all the
leagues under the national agree

that suitable location for the inde-

TWENTY.THREE RESIDENTS
TO TAKE LONG JOURNEY

There are twenty-three residents Of
Colorado, who according to the mem
hers of the American Legion, are slat-
ed to go ION long journey Their
destinations will be the respective ma
tons of Europe which gave them birth.
They are net classed as slackers, but
az specimens Of the lowest type Of
that undesirable element produced by
the great war. Three bills are now
pending before Congress authorizing
the naturalization bureau to deport
thep.
Their offcnse lies in the fac. that
they are men who had taken out their
first citizenship papers, evincing
desire to become Americans, but
withdrew their naturalization appli-
cations in order to escape the draft
Thus they added to the sin Of cow
ardice that of the ingratitude. There
are said to be two thousand of these
renegade aliens. who have been 10
Gated in the United States, their
names and addresses being known, ac-
cording to the officers of the Legion,
and their presence in this country Will
positively not be tolerated.
Members of the American Legion
in Colorado have decreed that the
faithless twentv-three ingrates must
go, never TO return.

We observe Thanksgiving day in
keeping with the time -honored Gus.
tom Of the Pilgrims.
Thanksgiving day was born in the
hearts Of grateful little group of
people who had survived . narrowing
season.
Real Thanksgiving are those which
come spontaneously in moments Of
gratitude for deliverance from dis
tress, appreciation of the beauties of
life or enjoyment Of genuine friend
ship.
We are thankful that most of our
troubles never happened and that
those which did passed over like the
storms.
The wealth of the world has been
filling our Golfers to overflowing
Millions Of Mammon give thanks like
the blatant fatted calf, all unmindful
Of the fate of the fattened and batten-
ed.
We are thankful to have gone
through another year with its alter
mating joys and sorrows and await
WITH hope and fortitude the things the
next may bring forth.
Now once again both you and I are
going to keep Thanksgiving. And
shall we be discouraged by the lofty
cost of living? And shall we spsrely
dine and sup, still Heoverssquely
slsvink-and shall We pass the Turkey
up because we're used to saving?
I think I hear you answer "Nay"!
And I, for one, won't do it; shall cut
loose, Thanksgiving day, and eagerly
go to it! I shall not fuss with low
priced meat, with tripe or stringy
mutton--I'm going to hop right in and
