Guard Encampment
Still Hangs Fire
tiOnal Guard Still Dependent on
Action of Congress.

Madison.-The 1922 encampment Of
the Wisconsin National Guard is de-
pendent upon action of congress in au-
thorizing an appropriation sufficient for
states in the Sixth Army Corps area to
carry out their plans for summer ma
neuvers, the adjutant-general's office
here announced today.
Acknowledgement Orlando Holway il
In Washington at present in an effort
to obtain an increase in the army ap-
preparation bill now before the com
mittee. Should congress refuse tie in
crease, it is unlikely that plans for the
1922 encampment can be carried out
as arranged inasmuch as it is said that
funds made available by the original
bill are insufficient to meet expenses Of
the troops in the field.
Under the proposed summer training
schedule, Wisconsin's infantry and cav
airy troops would go to Camp Douglas
for training, with the artillery sent to
Camp Custer, Michigan.
The first division of the infantry,
according to present plans, will go into
training July 18th and remain at Camp
Douglas until July 31st. The second
division of the infantry would then go
into camp August 1st, continuing to
August 18th.
Cavalry troops open the camp at
Camp Douglas July Srd, when all units
of this branch of the service in the
Wisconsin guard commence their sum-
mer training.
The artillery in the 10th regiment
is to commence its field work at Camp
Custer, Michigan, August 14th, contin-
uing to August 2Sth, while the units in
the 121st regiment enter the camp on
July 28th, remaining to August 18th.
With the cost of an annual encamp-
ment of the Wisconsin guard costing
approximately $25O,O0O, the state gov
eminent is not in position to bear
expenses of the training without the
assistance of the federal government.
Without this help, it is said that the
guard will be unable to carry out pro-
vision of the national defense act re-
quiring that the guardsmen spend at
least Is days each year in the field.

Courtroom Size
Pleases Judge Belden
Circuit Judge Meets With Architect
and Building Committee to
Talk Over Plan.

An informal meeting between Judge
Belden, Architect Joeph Lindl and
member of the new building comaait-
tee of the county board was held at
the court house this morning for the
purpose of considering some of the as
poets of the new building. Judge
Belden had expressed his anxiety lest
the circuit court room would not be
large enough, and said that he be-
lieved the room should be as large as
the one in the Racine circuit court.
This room was measured by the Keno
sha committee who visited Racine for
that purpose, and it was found that
the room in Architect LindFs plan was
two feet wider. The circuit judge was
satisfied when he learned this. The
question of storage of books and docu-
ments in the various departments of
the court was another topic for in
formal discussion this morning.

Drop Many from
Ranks of Guard
Spring Inspections Result in Dropping
Laggards Out of Wisconsin
National Guard.

Madison.-The enlisted personnel of
the Wisconsin National Guard, accord
ing to report made today by The adju-
tant-general to the war department, has
decreased PIT since December S1st,
when it was at its maximum. There
now are 6,631 men and officers enlisted
in all branches of the guard service.
compared to 6,S48 on December 31st.
The decrease is said to have resulted
from the spring inspections when many
men, not taking an active interest in
the work, were dropped from the rolls.
Wisconsin still leads the other states
of the country in its number of guards
compared to the population. The ma
tional defense act authorizes a total of
l0,4O0 troops for the state when the
quota is filled. No states have as vet
enlisted men up to the authorized per
sonnet.

GOLF HELPED
SCHAEFER WIN.
Champ Claims That Golf
Aided Him in Captur-
ing Title.
HOPPE LOVER OF BALL

Golf seems to be a conditioner for
every other line of sport. Jack Demp-
sey, heavyweight champion, is strong
for golf. While far from a Jock
Hutchinson Dempsey plays a pretty fair
game. During spring training trips
most of the athletes play as much golf
as baseball. AS matter of fact, some
managers are of the opinion that golf
is being overdone by the ball players.
Jake Schaefer, billiard champ, is the
latest titleholder to sing the praises of
golf. While most of the star golf
players are expert billiardists Schaefer
is the first billiard player of note to
risk his hands swinging golf clubs.
Schaefer insists that the use of the
wooden and iron clubs improves his
long game of billiards and that the
short golf game, putting and pitching,
is helpful to his short cushion work,
nurse and masse shots,
Advised By Father.
"My father always advised that l
stay away from all outdoor sports to
protect my hands. When l took up
golf man billiard players shook their
heads. They figured my billiard game
would be ruined.
"a billiard player, like golfer,
must have extremely supple wrists and
fingers and free working shoulder
joints. Golf has improved my billiard
game.
"The only danger to a billiardist in
golf is that his fingers might stiffen
a little. But have never been both
cred that way"
Hoppe Likes Baseball.
Willie Hoppe, who tried in his re-
cent match with Schaefer to regain
the title that he held for dozen wears,
is great lover of baseball.
Hoppe once told that he greatly re-
GREETED that he didn't go in for base
ball as kid rather than billiards.
Hoppe always regarded billiards as a
business rather than a sport. Really
no game is more dangerous on the
hands than baseball. yet Hoppe used
to take all kinds of chances. When
playing exhibitions in a major league
city he usually worked out with one of
the teams prior to the start of the
game In this respect Hoppe used to
make all kinds of worry for his man
ager. Fortunately, however, his love
of baseball never in any way slowed
up his billiard game.

of the famine tragedy was the destruc-

Children Abandoned.
children have been deliberately
abandoned by their parents not in
callousness, but in the hope that some
one will care for them.

children to a relief station, asking that
they be fed. He was told that only
orphans could be taken in.

said, and went away and committed
