Allen to Carry Smith S CaSetO
 Federal Courts

Little Rock, Ark, June s.-R. e. Allen, president of the Little Rock club of the Southern Association, announced tonight that the federal district court at Memphis will be asked to review the action of John D. Martin. president of the South ern Association, in refusing to approve the contract of Casey Smith, a pitcher, recently signed by the Little Rock club.
 Mr. Allen, in his announcement, emphasized the statement that the suit is to be friendly one.
 Martin returned Smiths contract several days ago without his ap- proval, and in letter to Robert c. Allen, president of the Little Rock club, explained that his ac- tion was based on a communica- tion from John H. Farrell, secre tary of the National Association of Minor League Clubs, advising him of a statement Issued by the San Francisco club, stating that Smith had been released by San Francisco flor the best interests of baseball.'
 It was stated that the court &C., tion in connection with the league executives action in connection with Smiths contract also is ex- pected to have an important bear ing on the case of Tom Seaton, another pitcher signed by Little Rock. Both formerly were mem- bers of the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast League.

 Vanitie in the
 FirstTrial Race

Newport, R. l., June 3.-The Resoute defeated the Vanitie today in the first of the trial races to determine which yacht shall defend the Americas cup against Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger. Shamrock ". The race was sailed over
 a Smile windward and leeward course in moderate breeze, the Resolute cross- ing the finish line the victor by minutes I seconds elapsed time and minutes 3y seconds corrected time.
 Both yachts had slight accidents during the race. Vanite's main sheet bridled, which delayed her for a few seconds, while on the Resolute the jaws on the saff jumped out of the mast as she was turning the outer mark. Both boats made repairs in the harbor tonight and will meet again tomorrow over a triangu- lar course.
 On the beat along the Narrangansett shore vanitie drew up on the Resolute when they were half way to the outer mark, and at one time the two were almost on even terms.
 Manager Emmons of the Resolute said afterward that this gain was due to short hitches along the out-of- f-bounds
 line which the two managers had ar
 l ranged along this part of the course.

.Heydler and Ban ) OhnsOn Fail to
 Choose Chairman

New York, June S.--John A. Heydler, president of the National League, and B. B. Johnson, president of the Ameri- can League, failed at a conference here today to agree on choice for chairman of the national commission. It was said unofficially that selection of q successor to Garry Hermann may not be made for several months.
 Considerable time was devoted to a discussion of the playing rules and the heavy hitting which has developed this season in both major leagues. The um- pres report that they are having diffi- culty with the rule regarding home-run hits which disappear over fences or in the stands, it being extremely difficult at times to decide whether the ball is in fair or foul territory at the moment of disappearance. It is proposed to obtain the opinion of umpires and players as to the feasibility of changes in the pres ent wording of the rule.
 It was stated that the heavy hitting so prominent this season, probably could be attributed to a combination of cir cumstances, not the. least of which is the better construction of the baseball. better grade of material and winding in the spheres is said to have followed the cessation of war and the releasing Of wool and rubber with other material used in the balls by both leagues.

Sailing Orders"

ll you're weary of the office
 And your step has lost it's snap, you're looking for life that fits A big two-fisted chap If you want to go a-roving
 All this jolly old world round, Come a-runnin', runnin. buddy,
 When the bugle starts to sound. For we've got our sailing orders.
 And there's joy in all our o. we're dropping down the river. And it's hey for foreign parts! It's hey for Guam and Haiti
 And the beach at Wakaiki! The Marines have got their orders, And they're putting out to sea. If you're tired of the factory
 Or you're weary of the blow, And you don't find any romance
 In the job you're doing now, Here's chance to go a-roving
 To the place Adventures found, So come a-runnin'. buddy,
 When you hear the bugles
 sound.
 They're cheering from the ferries. And they're waving from the
 shore;
 The dull old life's behind us
 And the new life lies before. We're off to make talk "howdy"
 With the Moro and Chinee. The Marines have got their orders. And they're putting out to sea.
 The young man who has not felt the call of the sea, who has never known the "wanderlust" = that restless hunger for the sight of strange foreign lands and stranger people-he does not exist. But how many men neglect their op- portunities and grow old without ever having wandered very far from their own home towns.
 What have such men gotten out of life? What have they to look back on but a monotonous round of uninteresting toll? How they must envy their more fortunate or perhaps more daring-fellows. who have travelled and seen and done-who have lived life to the full!
 How the "stay-at-home'' must regret his lack of enterprise. as he sits, one of an interested group, while some ex-Marine spins yarn after yarn (and true yarns they are, tool of his adventures on toss- ing seas and under tropic skies. The Marine and the Wide World At the moment you are reading this there is hardly country on earth where there are not United States Marines, doing mems work yes, and playing. too. as real men play-storing up health and memories that will last them to the end of the chapter.
 There are Marines down in Cuba, picturesque. old Cuba. almost as Spanish today as when the red and yellow flag of Spain foated over Morro Castle. In Haiti-the queer little republic, where the colored folks speak French Ma rines are helping to slap bad little bandits on the wrist when they misbehave.

 The Barons will have a tough assign ment this afternoon, as either Thorburn or Boone will pitch for the Crackers.

Thor burn is the lad who pitched no-hit game at the first of the season.
 It seems that the Barons have broken their ancient jinx; at least they have been knocking the dope topsy-turvy late- ly In the past Moley's men have won a majority of their games on the road and then lost about the same number on the home stay. However, this has been reversed, the Barons losing heavily on the road and winning their last five home games.

Work Time for the Marine


 The Marines life is not all play. There's work to be done. But it's mans work and interesting.
 There are short. snappy drills that teach man to be on his toes. There are setting-up exercises that give man a chest like a bar rel. There are hikes. short ones at first and gradually increasing. that teach man to walk on his own two feet. and like it. And there's rifle practice. But that isn't work-that's sport. There is wireless telegraphy and signal work to be learned. There fs training in scouting and wood craft. Maybe you didn't know that every Marine Is a regular Robinson Crusoe when it comes to mixing himself comfortable in a wild country.
 There is artillery practice and something of sailing, rowing and seamanship. For Marine Is a sailor as we'll as a soldier. But it's good work-a1l of it.
 Tn addition to giving a man physical fitness and mental alert ness, the Marine Corps gives plenty of opportunity for learning a trade that will mean big money for him after his discharge. Thou sands of ex-Marines have imme- diately been taken into well-pay- ing jobs in civil life as aviators. airplane mechanics. gas engine me- chanics. chauffeurs. wireless oper- ators. printers. barbers. ball players. chefs, bakers. electricians. fore men, etc, etc.
 An honorable discharge after two. three or four years service in the Marines is the best letter of recommendation any man can have.
 The llarine Corps wants only GOOD men. but they den't have to be giants. just ordinarily healthy. Don't say, sI can't pass the test,~ until you have tried. The doctors are kindly and courteous. Give then . ehnnce to look you over. Send for booklet.

Home Life of the Marines

No Marine ever seems to stay in one place long enough to get rusty. When he is not just off for for eign ports or just coming home from service abroad. he is on one of the big battleships which are always on the move from one port to another. Today he may be in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the next bound for France or Con- stantinople. or goodness knows where.
 And when he's on duty in the States he may be at any one of number of interesting places Quantico. the station just out of Washington; the League Island Navy Yard, at Philadelphia; the Brooklyn Navy Yard. at New York; or he may be at San Diego. in sunny California, or Mare Island, in San Francisco Bay.
