Above is the manner in which Joe Dunn and Shutter Matthews lined those Barons up for the first prac- tice battle of 1923. The game a' Redwood Saturday. afternoon WAS more of battle than fandom ex- training season. The Regulars won as Regulars are supposed to do, but it was only by score of to 6 and after a ninth-inning rally by the cubs had given them three runs only one short of evening up the count.
 Almost a thousand fans felt the call of spring, and turned out for Saturdays affair, which was not ex- pected to be anything but the crud- est of baseball exhibitions. The fans were rewarded with a slam-bana affair, in which some hitting and considerable bobbling was produced
 In the matter of base hits, Smut ter Matthews Yannigan clan fin ished the afternoon on par with the Regulars, each side slammng out II safe blows. In the error depart ment 1t would be hard to say which came off with highest honors, but tc the credit of the chunkers tossing 'em over for the Regulars, it must be said that poor support let in opposing runs.
 Early Season Sluggers
 The afternoons melee developed the existence of several early seasor sluggers. For the Regulars, Tref. ry, Danny Clark, Miller and Meekir slammed out a pair of safe blows each, while Stump Clarke, Abbot and Stewart chalked their bludgeons for safe wallop each.
 Among the Yannigans, the clout ing of Suggs and Saunders was : revelation, each of these pastimers getting three safe hits. Layne. Sin gleton. Fleischman, Brandon and Al len registered one bingle each.
 After the Yannigans had throwr a scare into their ranks with 2 rally in the fifth that came peril ously near resulting in runs, the Regulars went out in their half oi the fifth and sent a few runs across the platter. Miller cracked a clear drive to center, but was doubled of first when Brenner's long fly wa. snagged by Saunders. Meekin sent 2 twister through short, and went tt third on Abbott's single to center Stewart lifted the pail over Ter fielder's head. and Meekin and Alb bolt scored Stump Clarke hit to cen ter, and Stewart scored, but Sumr was picked off first by Gray. twirl- ing for the Yannigans.

Stump Clarke dropped Snyders drive and Singleton scored Trat ended the scoring for the Yan- nigans in that frame. as the follow ing men went out.
 In the Regulars sixth, Trefry beat out a tap to second, but was out at second on Taylor's infield' fly that was misjudged. Ranny Clark bounced a hit off Gray's shins that sent Taylor to third. Taylor scored or Miller's sacrifice fly.
 Joe Dunn's regulars, after being started, were hard to stop, and added three more in the eighth. Thefry hit, Taylor scored, with Taylor re- maining on third. Miller's easy grounder caught Taylor off third, and Tommy was finally trapped in the chase that followed, with Clark reaching third. Clark scored when Cosper unsuccessfully tried to nip

RUSSIAN TNGRATTTUDE

In July the American Relief Administration will
leave Russia after spending S7000O0O0 in relief work,
saving many thousands of people from starvation and
other thousands from disease Food is plentiful now,
and conditions are much better. The Russian people
will long have for gratitude to the Americans
who carried this work, and to those at home who
provided the money.
Yet an American correspondent in Russia reports
that there is almost gratitude in Russia for what
the Americans have DONE and indeed little realization
of it. The Soviet government from the first has
sistently misinerpreted the purpose Of this phllan
thropic work, and spread among its people It's own
prejudices.
Throughout his travels, says the correspondent,
Russian Communists everywhere kept asking him what
the real purpose of the American Relief in Russia
When he made the obvious that it to help
the needy they laughed at him. Little is known about
it among the natives. There has been little publicity,
and it has usually been hostile. Much consldera
ton has been shown by the authorities to other or
ganizatons, domestic and foreign not doing q hund
redth part of the relief work of the American associa
ton.
A good deed is its own reward and the donors and
distributors of American charity in this need not
worry about thanks. They have done their duty by
starving men, women and children in foreign land
and that is enough The adventure would have
left much better taste in American mouths, however,
if there had been courteous acknowledgment IN
Russia such customary among civilized folk when
a favor is rendered. Russia, because of the deliberate
blindness and discourtesy of her present rulers,
expect less from America hereafter

special to do, II 60 to the store
for you. Tell me what you are to

VACATION UNCLE SANS WAY

This is the season for wise youths to look up the
nearest u S. Citizen Military Training Camp and sign
up for the coming summer. 1t is already reported
from the East that than 5000 young men from
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and the District of
Columbia are likely to take the 30-day at Camp
Mead. Other sections Of the country doubt will do
as we'll.
The age limit is II to "a years, and high school
boys of the minimum age particularly urged to try
vacation Uncle Sans way. Still miltarism it is
sad is in very little evidence at these camps There is
reasonable amount OF discipline and good order is ex-
peced Practically all the athletic sports excep foot
ball, which is unsued to summer playing are taught
by experts. The official bulletin Of information says:
'The objects of these camps is to bring together
young men of high type from all sections Of country
common basis of equality and under the most fav-
orable conditions of outdoor life to stimulate and pro-
mote citizenship, patriotism and Americansm; and
through expert physical direction athletic coaching
and military training, to benefit the young ind
vduay and bring them to realize their obligations to
their country"
The camps represent fine opportunity to young
men of moderate means, too old for Bcy Scouts and
similar camp groups. Recreation under excellent
conditions, with valuable training and wholesome dis
cipline, are all to be had by-products of non
