National Lawn Tennis Association: is one of the leading pa- triotic sport bodies in the country, as witnessed by its patriotic tournaments for the purpose of buying and equip- ping ternis ambulances, manned by tennis players, for work at the front, there 'is every reason to believe that tennis will be stimulated by that or- ganization in our various camtonments. This i$ a far-seeing organization, as it has funds in hand for the purpose of .creating interest in tennis in thoes sections Of the country where interest is most needed. What more worthy cause than to use these funds in our various canionments? Not only would it carry out the purpose of the fund, but-it would provide added wholesome xecreation for both officers and men. army officer. who recently thought himself a victim of the athletic chest. | No one has ever heard' of that abnor- mality, which is nothing -here or there, 18.—George | for the reason that our medical friends got the deci- a ten round bout with Ed-| die Wallace of Brooklyn, N.

In this particular case the cap- itain; who was a bhrave man, had been given a physical examination by a imember of .the medical'staff. That procedure generally shakes up a man and causes his heart to beat at a fast- ier clip. As a rule the victim imag- jines himself a possessor of all known ills of the body when undergoing the jordeal. Immediately following. the examina- tion in question a lieutenant rushed jup to the captain and cried: thirteen minori “Have you. an athletic chest?” leagues will be in operation this sea- son instead of only six or seven, and | that the prospects for two muore are; good, to say the least of them.

As the chest ‘iucix:r:ae such vital organs as theart and lungs the captain began thinking it was all off. - But proper re- storatives .were. immediately adminis- | tered when it was discovered that ‘the! athletic chest referred to wae nothing! more than one of those chests filied | Army sport has for its primo object the purpose of providing sport for all. It makes- a special feature of those sports which bring men into personal contact, games like -football, boxing and wrestling, but it also recognizes the fact that all sports have a salu- tary effect and that sane of them, 11k§ track athletics, for example, do a -g00: job in fitting men for trench warfare. Track athletics are ideal for army men in that they teach them the right way of running, jumping and hurdling. So important are they that one of the big cantonments is insistent that every one of its soldiers be abie to run a hundred yards “within a- given time, be able to jump so far and so high and throw a hand grenade a distance.. And in 3ll cantonments they. are specialising on producing trained runners for the signal corps, men who will do a big job when the. forces now In_training are- overseas. While the army is not ‘insistent on developing sports, so:1 gatber, along championship lines, it sees no special harm in holding championships for the reason that they tend to stimulate in- terest in any civen sport. True, they bring out and further develop.the lead- ers in these particular sports, but that is no reason why they prevent the|. bulk of the men from doing their ath-- Hletic bit. The history of Ameriean’| sport clearly shows that sport is best stimulated in this way, and those who are trying to work other plans in ar- my .sport may be driving against their main object—a normal life in so far s possible for the men in service. Another fine svort for the army is _ @ AN AMERICAN SOLDIER WHO SERVED AS A MACHINE f 2 GUNNE'R IN fRANcE AND WENT. canmbt trust any of them overiong.
