Nfiw York, May 24—The most ex- tensive programme of athletic games and contests ever devised for any army in the field is.in course of pre- paration here under the supervision of Dr. George J. Kisher, secretary’ of the executive committee of the Athletic Leagus of North America. “We shall have to recruit not less than fifty men a month,” said 'Dr. Fisher, because of our obligation to France and Italy who have been plead- | ing with us to introduce American athletic methods -~ into their armies, Premier Clemenceau cabled us and so did former Premier- Painleve.: “We contemplate organizations of 1,- %.NS:NLYS_TRONG, e h e ISAAC S.

Volley ball is in great de- mand. Thus we expect to give each soldier the benefit and pleasure of an- ticipation in such games so that, in- stead of creating ‘champions’ in this or that sport, we shall build them all up in virog and agility.” Here Dr, Fisher pecalled the recent cable despatch of the unarmed Ameri- can athlete in the trenches who, when about to be bayonetted by a German raider pulled his helmet from his head adn threw it at his adversary. The German ducked, and, as he did so, the American pounced upon him and wrested his rifle away.. That incident of presence of mind and agility, he said, was an illustration of the value of sports to the soldier. Sailors Coming Up Strong For ‘Sun- day’s Game. The sailor boys from tre,Submarine Base are coming up strong Sunday to root for their team, which is to play the All-Norwich team on the Falls diamond. They have chartered a boat which can accommodate a couple of hundred and will arrive in Norwich about one o’clock. The Base team is very anxious to ‘win this game Sunday, and have sav- ed their best men for this occasion. They have a strong line-up which has been coached, and put in first class condition. The -All-Norwich team was never in better shape, and are very confident of winning. All-Norwich line-up as follows: Mec- Kenna or Nelson 2b, Callahan 1f, Clabby If, W. Calkin 1b, Fox 3b, Burns 1f.

J,, May 24—The Cor- nell ‘varsity and freshman crews ar- rived here yesterday in time to hold a trial spin over the Carnegie Lake course in preparation for the dual re- gatta with Princeton tomorrow. Both the Princeton and Cornell crews are essentially war-t'me crews, the Itha- cans having had great difficulty in piecing out an eight. Princeton has been able to hold more regular pr: tices, but the plans of Coach Fitz- patrick recently were upset by the loss of two men. Gardner entered the fourth ; officers’ training camp and has beeni replacad at No. 2, by Campbell.

This afternon at Ashland Park the fast Wauregon team will combat with ! the well known Holy Name Club of | Jewett City. Last season the Waure- gan nine was the only nine which captured a series from the Jewett]| City boys. This year the Holy Name team is out to reverse things a little | bit. Peloquin will be on the mound ! for the visitors and Pike, a former! big league backstop, will take care of | the receiving end. Last season Peloquin was classed as one of the leading Amateur pitchers in the state and a fast game can be! expected. For the local team Big: Spike Liberty will do the twirling, the receiving end to be handled by his| noted battery mate, W. Liberty. The, Jewett City infteld wil] be: Melady, ! first base; Jarvis, second base; Jodoin, shortstop, and Iaber, a new recru third base. The outfield will be cover- | ed by Cyr, Raill and Adams who last | year starred for tha Waur.gan team. Sunday the Holy Name team is to: play the Plainfield Independents at Plainfield. Jarvis will do the pitching for Jewett City and Ballard for Plain- field. The Holy Name team, encouraged by a 7 to 3 victory over the Conn. Mills team last Saturday are out to keep up the good work.
