FEW JOBS IN FRANCE
Former Doughboys Warned to Look
Elsewhere For Work.


Paris, June Large numbers Of
former American soldiers, finding con,
ditlons in America unsatisfactory, are
returning to France seeking employ
nent and finding work for them is
providing a serious problem for of
iiials of the American Legion in this
city. Some have taken places as
laborers at comparatively small wages
and Legion officials say that dough
boys" should be warned not to return
to France unless they are well provid
cd with money to delray expenses
while finding jobs which are scarce at
present.
"Since early in March, said Arthur
w. Wiping, Adjutant of Paris Post,
American Legion, yesterday There
has been steady stream of discharg.
ed American officers and soldiers com
ing to France Many Of these men arc
without money, they have small pros.
pects of finding work and their knowl
edge of the French language is rudi-
mentary. Efforts are being made to
induce these men to return e. Ameri-
ca but some refuse to do this and the
Legion has been forced to organize an
emplc yment service, which has sue
ceedec in finding places for n.natyOya
men In The lat forty days. The re.
turn of Americans under present con
diticns is inadvisable,"

FIRST ARREST
ON DIAMOND
Art Fletcher Is Given Ten Days by
Umpire Rigler For Violation
Of BascbaIrs Prohibi-

NEW YORK, May 21.--Art Fetch
er, captain of the Giants. is the first
National league player to be Ear
rested" under baseballs new "prohi-
bition act"
Jumps Rigler gave him ten days
yesterday before he had chance to
plead to the charge of soiling ball.
The pitchers of the league were
raising such a general rumpus about
the difficulty in keeping the ball
from flying into the second story of
the stands under the new rules that
Prexy Heydler was bit dubious
himself.
Slim Sallee, among others, insisted
that little bit of resin on the end
of the fingers was harmless and al
most essential in getting grip on
the ball.
Heydler then conferred with the
baseball manufacturers about the
possibility of making the cover less
glazed and smooth. 1t was consid-
cred possible, but unwise, as there
would be no uniform way Of dressing
the hide, and too much "roughness"
would irritate the hand.
The league boss then decreed that
the pitchers could get enough grip
eff the seam Of the ball, and he de-
cided to let the rules stand.
Very few complaints have been
made in either league about doctor
ing the ball
