BASEBALL SUGGESTED
CURE FOR B0LSHEv|SM
Outdoor sports Would Servo to Lessen
National Unrest, Is Opinion-For-
eign Kids" Enthusiastic Over
Came.

Baseball Is the prescription which
William j. Mulligan, chairman of the
Knights of Columbus war activities
committee. would apply to RUSSIA
overworked anarchists and general
disturbers OF the peace.
One of the things that sticks in
my memory after spending four
months on the other side going from
camp to camp and country 10 coun-
try" says Mr.. Mulligan, is the in
terest the youngsters of each country
are showing in American sports as
played by our soldiers and sailors.
I'm Germany and Belgium and
France the little boys are enthusiastic
spectators of American baseball
games They are quick witted Riddles
and are picking up the game. OF
course, our boys are always willing
to teach them and they get a good
deal of fun out OF watching the little
foreign fellows try their hand at base
ball
II think II the American Expedi-
tionary forces remained in Europe
for "A year or two, they'd have base
ball established as the international
pastime-a wouldn't rec
ommend anybody to suggest this to
tions might be just as powerful as
any other kind in keeping the peace
of the world-if the umpires behav-
ed themselves.
AS for the Boisheviki in Russia
baseball or some equally attractive
sport if there IN such thing-would
have helped to give the Russians a
morale similar to the American
morale
The possibilities of baseball In
Russia are numerous especially the
variations of the hidden ball trick
that might be invented by bearded
, Cossacks. The K-C chairman is seri-
ously of the opinion that II the Rus
SLAMS took as seriously to healthy out
of-door sports as the Americans do
there would be less of national un-
rest and more of orderly national
Vigor as a result.
The knights of Columbus have sent
in all. about 20, 900 baseball outfits
I overseas and thousands of these arc
now being put to good use on the
! banks Of the Rhine.

Profit in Trapping.

Moutauk Point, Long Island, n Y.
April ta.--Who would ever imagine
that anyone could make a iiving--and
good living, too---at trapping here
within few hours ride of New York
city? Aud yet that is just what
George H. Cohler does
Cohlcr captured in his traps during
thc last opcn season 279 skunks In
addition, he trapped several foxes,
mipbs muskrats and two fishers, the
latter yielding big prices
All of these furs are sold readily.

door centests) as the one big attrac-
ton in war camp activities

door contests) as the one big attrnc-
ton in war camp activities
One Of the outstanding figures in
this group of men is William J. Multi
gan, chairman of Knights of Column
bus committee on war activities. An
athlete himself, Mr.. Mulligan knows
the real value OF athletic sports to q
participant in contests and knows also
the keen enjoyment and healthful en-
tertainment 1t provides for spectators.
It is because of this that Mr.. Multi
gan, from the first day the knights
of Columbus began their war relief
work, insisted that athletics be the
dominating feature of the KnightsT en-
teTtainment and recreational activf-
ties He spent millions of dollars for
athletic supplies and is still sending
immense quantities of athletic para
phernalia overseas for our soldiers.
Mr.. Mulhgan visited all the big mill
tary camps where American troops
are in France, England, Belgium,
Italy and Germany to especially study
the needs of our men for everything
in the way of outdoor sports, He
played baseball with the soldiers,
threw the handful. played tennis,
pushed the medicine ball, donned the
boxing gloves and exchanged punches
with soldier athlete. He knows how
they felt toward sports, and is direct
ing a X. of c. overseas program that
will ensure all sorts of outdoor sport
Tor the million and a half American
soldiers still in Europe awaiting the
day to come home. Mr.. Mulligan
knows what the men want and he is
supplying it.
There can be no doubt that the re-
markahle volume of publicity given TO
athletics as "A result of the policy
adopted by war relief organizations
has impressed legislators and the re-
suit is the probable passage of laws,
in many states, legalizing boxing and
permitting baseball on Sundays. Mr..
Mulliean's statements endorsing box
ing have been placed before law
makers throughout the country with
manifest effect. a statement to the
effect that the order favored lega1iz
ed exhibitions was quoted by hundreds
of writer's throughout the United
States.
Legislators are keen to promote the
wishes of their constituents-that's

They have spoken and 1t appears GER

Mr.. Mulligan and others directing
