his eagerness to be sure and get his
clock set right on Saturday night. to
have made the change of time when
he went to bed, but he found when
he awoke on Sunday morning that he
had set the hands Of the clock an
hour ahead instead Of an hour back.
the result being that the hours ex-
ira sleep which he had planned on

AMERICAN AND
ENGLISH SPORTS
IN GERMANY

Coblenz, Germany, Oct. 27-Elab-
crate preparations have been made
here for the coming football season.
Grounds and stadiums which were
only partly finished year ago have
been made permanent playing fields,
and many of them compare very IA
vorably with the best college grid
irons in the United States.
The most deliberately finished
ground is right here in Coblenz,
known as Carnival Island" 1t was
on this ground that the Bird army
championships were decided last
season. but the ground at that time
was not in as good condition as it is
today. Neither were there proper
facilities, such as dressing rooms.
This ground was once a truck patch
and was converted into an athletic
field in January of this year. For
the last two months the engineers
have been regarding the field and
making other preparations and to-
day the main football field is as level
as a billiard table. At this island.
there are now two regulation base
ball fields, two football fields, a golf
course of nine holes. polo ground. a
quarter mile cinder track with 220
yard straightaway and outdoor bas
ketball courts. On another part is
a ring for horse shows and nine ten
mis- courts. Suitable bleachers to &C
commodate five thousand spectators
have been built, and there also are a
large number of properly equipped
dressing rooms with showers. rub
bling tables and store rooms.
Not only at Coblenz are there
grounds available for the soldiers,
but at Andernach. Nontabaur and
Neuwied the old grounds left by the
A. E. F.. have been taken over by
the Y. NJ. c. A. and enlarged and
remade in every particular.
The baseball. tennis. basketball
and swimming seasons are just be-
ing brought to a close and the fall
track championships will be held at
this city the last week in October
Immediately following the track fin
ais the football season will be start

public school education employed by

ed by authority Of the Legislature two
years ago, has been presented to the

ject to under our present antiquated
school laws. 1t is right for the people
10 study these proposed changes in

have the betterment of educational
for all the children OF

ed and distributed in the next ten days |

Peaceful in thy grave so low:
