e PAGE SIX FINE “GRIDIRON” AT COBLENZ American Soldiers Stationed There Have Facilities for Almost Every Kind of Sport. Elaborate preparations were made at Coblenz, Germany, for the football sea- son. Grounds and stadiums which were only partly finished a year ago have been made permanent playing fields, and many of them compare favorably with the best college gridirons in the United States. The most elaborately finished ground is in Coblenz, known as “Carnival> Is- land.” It was on thils ground that the Third army championships were de- elded last season, but the ground at that time was not in as good con- dition as it is today. Neither were there proper facilities, such as dress- ing rooms. At this island there are now two reg- ular baseball fields, two football fields, 8 golf course of nine holes, a polo ground, a quarter-mile cinder track, with 220 yard stralghtaway, and out- door basketball courts. On another part is a ring for horse shows and nine tennis courts. Suitable bleachers to accommodate 8,000 spectators have been built, and there also are a large number of prop- erly equipped dressing rooms with showers, rubbing tables and store rooms. Not only at Coblenz are there grounds available for the soldlers, but at Andernach, Montabaur, and Neu- wled the old grounds left by the A. E. F. have been taken over by the Y. M. C. A. and enlarged and remade in every particular. PROBABLY THOUGHT A LOT But Really, Under the Circumstances, There Was Nothing the Actor- Manager Could Say. The late Oscar Hammerstein, who had a genius for advertising his theat- rical enterprises, used to tell a story about an English actor-manager’s at- temyt to follow his example. “My conferee,” Mr. Hammerstein would <ay. “was having a new thea- ter huilt in London. Casting about for some good way to advertise it, he decided that an aQmirable scheme would be to have the workmen while excavating for the foundation come across Roman antiquities. So he stole down to the operation at dead of night and deposited a number of costly, gen- wine Roman antiquities just below the surtace of the spot being excavated. “The next morning he arrived in haste to hear the news of the great find and report it to the journals. See- fng that the men had already dug well Delow his hidden treasure, he said: “*Good morning, foreman. Any- thing interesting this morning? “‘No, sir, not a thing, sir,’ the fore- man answered. . “The actor-manager looked at the bulging pockets of the workmen and maid ‘nothing. What could he say?” Subscribe for The Dafly Ploneer Scaw el Flke. Scaw Fell Pike, Cumberland’s mountain summit, is to be the prop- erty of Englishmen in perpetuity. The highest hill of England is the very noble gift made by Lord Leconfield to the men of Cumbria who fought in the war, and as a token of gratitude to those who gave their llves for the cause of the world's liberty. Truly a gift in the spirit of Ruskin and one which causes the Manchester Guard- ian to utter deepest appreciation—a gift, it says, through which “even we common people may get a momentary entry into the ecstasies of the poets and see the earth and everything in it mystically appareled with ‘the glory and the freshness of a dream.”” Scaw Fell Pike has the venerable distinction of belng among the most ancient mountains of Europe, outdistancing the Alps in point of years. Shifting Misery. C. Winslow, a Terre Haute business man, recently went back to his home town for a visit. While there he met an elderly village character in the street. The man was bent and com- plaining. “Why, how are you?” be- gan Mr. Winslow, genfally. “Not very well, fact I'm pretty poor- 1y,” whined the man. “You see I have the most terrible misery here,” and he indicated his stomach. “But I thought it was in your neck when I was home last,” Mr. Winslow commented. “Yes, it was there then,” the man agreed, “but you see since then I swal- lowed that misery and it's been in my stomach ever since.” Boom in Lobsters. Very extensive lobster catches are reported off the eastern coast of Can- ada. Recently the boats were taking these faster than the factories could pack them. The catch was divided over the various canning factories. One boat, belonging to a well-known fleet, took as many as 4,400 fish. A resident of Escuminac reports that he put 9,000 live lobsters, which he was un- able to pack at the time, into a boat which he had transformed into a cage, and sunk it in order to keep the fish alive until such time as he could use them, Chinese Trade, The Foochow branch of the Ameri- can Association of China was recently formed. The new organization will largely care for American commercial interests, which are rapidly expand- ing in the Foochow consular district, and will take the place of an Ameri- can chamber of commerce, the num- ber of local Americans being too small to support a chamber of commerce. Alligators and Crocodiles. Fourteen feet is about the limit of length for an alligator, but the croco- dile is a much larger animal when full grown, specimens 30 feet long being not uncommon. Crocodile eggs, which have hard shells and look llke goose eggs, are considered good to eat in' the tropics.
