over THERE
Bio Figures Show Popularity with
Douahboys-7,o 100000 Take Part
In Games.

Boston-Sport followers In the
A. E. r. are given a slant on the
much-argued question as to what is
''the most popular sport" In the army,
In the figures on participation and at
tendance throughout the entire A. K
F. for one month, just received at
Northeastern Department "Y" head
quarters from Elwood S. Brown. chief
physical director of the Y. M. G. a
These figures reveal football lead
ing boxing, but only by a slight mar
gin. Counting spectators and partici-
pants, footballs aggregate was 1885,
752; and for boxing. 1y310,s44. Con-
sidering spectators only, boxing takes
slight lead, with 1,127 ,2o2 as against
1,023, 0S2 for football.
However, other questions besides
that of popularity are known to
have had something to do with these
results. For example in army CEN
tiers in the devastated parts of France,
difficulties of finding suitable fields
and amphitheatres have contributed
In some measure to the choice OF
sports.
According to Mr.. Browns report,
the total participation by the A. e. f.
in all sorts of sports during February
was 6,564.747. Taking the estimate
of 1,650,000 as the average number Of
American soldiers in France in Feb
ruary, 1t is seen that the big sport
program, outlined in orders from G.
H Q. last December touched every
member of the A. e. F. four times
over. IL spectators, numbering A.
S91, 1882 are also included, the whole
A. E. f. has been touched seven times
over by the sports program.
Participation in mass games, de-
signed especially for the. armies, has
had an enormous lot to do with the
piling up of these big totals OF athletic
play and attendance. The total mass
game participation in the First, Sec
Ond and Third Armies during Feb
ruary was 3,403,963 This represents
participation in variety of informal
games, such as shuttle relays, circle
races and many other competitions of
that sort The Third Army led in the
total of participants and spectators in
athletics for the month.
The figures given in Mr.. Browns
report are compiled from reports sent
him by Y. M. c. A physical directors
In the field. Army orders outlining
he general sports program placed a
Y. Il. c. A. athletic leader with every
military unit in France, Luxembourg
and Germany.

brown leaves of the winter. Use broadbladed knife
gently to lift the bulb and it's shoot from the earth
Take about six bulbs home and place them in shallow
dish with pebbles if they bulbs bought at a
florist shop Place the stones, if you
like. Wet the whole WELL and keep it wet
The bulbs will unfold day by day. and fascinating
to watch the queershaped pulpit takes form Besides
that you will be the very first to have wild flowers
they develop quickly in the warmth of the house
than outdoors. "
