BASEBALL TERMS AS
 FRANCE SAYS THEM
When "pArbiter'' Says 'Uno Frappe" Trouble Sometimes Starts

Paris, March 4.--"On jeu!"-Thats Play ball,' in French.
 "Regles de Baseball" an official guide to the American national game, has just been issued by Professor P. R. Carpenter, director of sports of the Foyers du Soldat, the American Y. M. C. \. for French soldiers, as sisted by Franz Messery, a local en- thusiast.
 The booklet will serve a double pur- pose It will tell the Frenchman all he needs to know about baseball in his own language, and 1t will teach the American in France what his French cousin means when he shouts at the umpire or the players. For the rules and explanations are printed in English, also, parallel with the French text.
 When his Umps, otherwise ''Iarbi- ter' is ready to start the game. he gives voice to the expression quoted at the head of this piece. Le LanCeur or Christie MatheWson. takes his posi- ton at the plaque de lanceur" and hurls tune ballo' in the direction of ''le ba.tteur," who is lowering about la plaque du but" otherwise known as the home plate.
 A strike is 'uno frappe,' a fair ball Is "valide" or a faux" according to whether it alights within or without the foul lines, and ''un bunt" is just what the word indicates. The bats man hopes to become "coureur de bases," or a base-runner, in which case he will hear "Iaide de camp" on the coaching lines bid him Slide, Kelly, slide,' and an injunction whose French equivalent appears to have been omitted from this very interest," ing treatise.
 If ''le batteur' slams the ball to the "eXtra champs" or outteld the hit may prove to be "un cOups a deux bases.' If the sphere goes over the fence, the hitter scores q point but" which, as all French fans know. Is q home run.
 Professor Carpenter has just issued also two other interesting booklets, both in French One is the "Rcgles Off1ciclles de Tolley Ball" The other, Sports ct Recreations," containing brief descriptions of 16 games popu- lar in America, was compiled with the cooperation of Dr. George l.. Meylan, of Columbia university's physical de- partn ent, who worked in the war zone as a r. M. C. A. physical director.

ALUMNI BATTLE
Former Stars of New Britain and Hartford High Schools to Clash on Basketball Court.

This city is already alive with in terest in the basketball game to be played in the '. M. C. A. Friday night. when the Hartford High Alum nj team lines up against the New Britain H igh Alumni five. The game will probably be a fast one, as the men playing are well known in the sporting world and should offer good basketball to the public.
 The old spirit of the Hartford and New Britain games will also be preVa- lent at the game on Friday night The talk locally would place New Britain far ahead of Hartford when the final whistle blows.
 For years it was the continual habit of all the Red and Gold teams to give Hartford a good trimming, whether playing in this city or in the neigh boring one. Of late years the ath- etes at the local school have been flew and far between" and all of them are but of the lroNish type. while Hartford High players are more men than boys Thus, the opponents who were walked upon for so many years now have the advantage and in order to get back at them the Alumni team of the local school is going to keep up the honor of the school by a vic tory Friday night.
 Hartford will have, in it's lineup, Smith, Harman, Dodge, Allan and Nordlund, and New Britain will prob ably start the game with Kopf, Rey- holds, Cook, Stepanian and Ellison.
