EQUIPMENT RECEIVED
NOT SATISFACTORY

A part OF the equipment for the
newly organized End. Platoon, 3rd Co.,
C. A. C. at Toledo was received on
Tuesday. At the drill held that night
the packages were opened and dis
tributed as far as the limited supply
permitted.
The men were disappointed at the
number of articles and quality of the
equipment received. Instead of re-
ceiving complete issue for fifty men,
as was understood would be the case
when the platoon was organized, only
partial lots could be found, and part
of these were found to have been
used by members OF the Newport
platoon.
This matter was taken up with
Capt. Matthews who explained that
the requisition for complete outfit
ing Of fifty men was sent to Head
quarters, but as the strength of the
Bird Company consists of 100 men,
there could only be issued equipment
for that number. and as the Newport
platoon had received, when 1t was or
ganized, equipment for approximately
so men, there remained only the bal
ance or about 20 outfits to be OBJ
tained to fill out the company
strength. Therefore the Toledo pla-
toon will receive good part OF it's
equipment from what is in stock at
the Newport Armory, and will have to
accept for the time being such articles
as have been sent up which includes
articles OF clothing that have been
used by the Newport platoon.
This matter will be taken up with
the Inspecting Officer in the near
future and 1t is hoped that better
quality Of equipment be obtained.
The shipment was short leggins,
hats, shoes and other articles, which
will prohibit the wearing Of the uni
form to drills until the complete issue
is received.
Lieut.. Rice will call a drill to be
held at the Fair bldg. on Sunday at
10 A. NJ. Rifles will be issued at that
time and 1t Is requested that the men
bring supply of rags to wipe off the
heavy coating Of grease in which the
guns are packed.
Should weather permit, following
the drill, baseball game or practice
will be held by the men in the Platoon
and the men are requested to bring
such baseball equipment as they may
have.

writers, artists, business men. ball
players, football coaches, track
trainers. fighters-all taking to, golf
when spare moments or hours from
their various professions allow the
time.
And most Of them are bugs. They
are not merely playing to get the
exercise.
Certainly, ball players. and boxers
manage to get in a fair share of
exercise in the pursuit of their own
callings.
But here is a game that costs
money in place of bringing money
In; and yet they go to 1T with an
amazing gusto-keen for every
chance to play.
The widest Range.
Golf not only has the deepest ap-
peal, but the widest range of all
sport. Notrso much as q profession,
out as game to play for the fun
of 1t.
There have been championship
tournaments where the age span
ran between fourteen and sixty-two
years. Can you show another cham
pionship where there is a difference
OF forty-eight years among two Of
the contestants?
There is another answer to b.

for the vast majority; in place on

hour to reach the course, travel
twenty or thirty miles. and take up

And the tournament list ro.s

CHICAGO, April Q. Peppery
Johnny Evers has the opportunity
to get into the exalted coterie OF
baseball miracle men. AS the man
ager of the Chicago Cubs he has
the chance to range alongside
George Stallings, who once revolu-
tionized the Boston Braves, and
Pat Moran. who turned the turbu-
lent Cincinnati Reds into cham
pions-
But Evers will hardly be able to
reach that goal, much as he would
like to crown his first year as a
major league manager-at least he
won't do it this year.
The Cubs, with a weak infeld and
only a fair outer garden, are at
this writing about a hundred-to-
one shot. They do not now appear
to be even a first division prospect
But Eyers is a fighter. He has dash
and he has q splendid pitching stan
These are possessions enough to
make any National League team
troublesome. But the best pitching
in the world will not win without
a good attack and without a strong
infeld defense.
Johny Has Good Pitchers.
II Evers had found the Cubs as
we'll equipped otherwise as they
are in the pitching department, he
would certainly look like a strong
contender for the National League
pennant. But he isn't. Far from It.
In Alexander and Vaughan and
Tyler he has three as good hurf-
ers as there are in the National or
ganiZation. II he could count on
some of his second string boxmen
coming through to bear part of the
brunt of battle, he would be
equipped in a way to promise a
battle. part of the way at least
But the novices will be expert

are generally costly.

in as good shape as he ever was
II he is. that's going some

So may Fuhr. But both have some

The infield will give Evers many

his teeth many a time probably

tions are all experimental. Grimes
