BUNCE Piano Tuner Philadelphia, Avg. 14—The employ- ment of professional ball players in shipyards “more for the purpose of bolstering up teams than to expedite | the shipbuilding programme,” will no longer be countenanced by the Emer- gency Fleet Corporation In an order issued today by the vice president, Howard Coonley, ball play- ers are placed on the same footing as all other workmen and yards that offer high salaries to obtain their ser- vices will not be reimbursed by the corporation. Mr. Coonley declared that he favor- ed sport but that it should be conduct- ed on a high plane in the present em- ergency and the professional athlete should be treated as are all other workers, Junior Tennls, Boston.

Should the White Sox and the New York Giants clash in the world’s series this fall they will be the fourth pair of teams to meet twice in succession for the title. . Baseball history dating back to 1884 of teams have accomplished this feat before and the Cubs and Tigers are the only teams in modern baseball history who have monopolized the big series for two straight years. The famous Cubs of 1906 to 1908 won three straight pennants for Chi- cago in the National Jleague and their first world’s series in modern competition between the National and American leagues resulted in @efeat at the hand of the White Sox. The next two vyears, 1907 and 1908, the sic and on both occasions they annex- Cubs battled Detroit in the fall clas- ed the bunting. Another interesting feature is the fact that the Cubs, Tigers and Giants are he only clubs that have won three straight pennants in either bi, league ince the American league was form- fed In" title series for the world’s cham- pionship prior to the formation of the American league the Chicago Na- (STOCKS YIELDED MONDAY TO INDUSTRIES AND SPECIALS New York, Aug. 14—Rails were less| conspicuous in today's more circum- scribed stock market, vielding to in- | dustrials and specialties of the sev-| eral groups which owe their imtermit- | tent activity to pools. During the morning, when prices were highest, attention was drawn towards the ‘railroad contract confer- ence at Washington, but prices broke one to two points later on a/iounce- ment of iconclusive action: Other restraining influences were the weekly weather report, indicating rcrop deterioration in the west and southwest, further activity of enemy submersibles in nearby waters and the rigidity of call money, which held at 6 per cent. albeit time funds were in better supply. Trade authorities at- tached some importance to the cut of $5 in steel bars, attributing the re- duction to pressure from agricultural | interests. Final quotations among leading rails and industrials were fractionally under those of the preceding day, U S. Steel yielding virtually one point.

That satisfying “pep” is American. When you get them both, you've got a real cigarette. No one tobacco grown can give you such a cigarette.’ That’s why, to get the Mecca flavor, they have to select 12 tobaccos, 7 American and 5 Turkish. They mix these 12 tobaccos and then for fifty hours pass moist heat through them all. This is the famous Stil/-Blend process. Only in this way can they draw that smooth, rich fragrance of the Turkish leaf into the American, and ‘that satisfying “pep” of the American into the Turkish.

Athletic work in the American army is a big subject to tackle for soldier | sport takes in every sport you ever Variety— | cannot list the various games our sol- diers enjoy. It is idle folly to attempt it. The wideawake and down-to-the- minute army athletic director learns more than he teaches. H¢ is thrown with men of all types and from every part of the country. In fact, he is di recting sport for all nations for it is ot odd to have in a regiment men who | have come from as many different | lands as there are companies. True, our good old American games like baseball, football and basketball get more attention than all other sports, but he who thinks that army spor is confined to those games and others such as we find in our schools and colleges, is going to be greatly surprised when he stacks up agains the real thing in army athletics. For one thing, these staple sports do not appeal to all the men in the army and for another thing, there is not room in the average camp for everyone to get his sport if it is confined exclusively to the sport we read about in the | newspapers. The army goes in pretty strong for our three major sports; it also| puts much stress on boxing and the average cantonment has better boxing shows week in and outh than the av- erage prize ring promoter ever dream- e dof. Then there is a good deal of track athletics to fill in the time but the usual army field day differs from an event like a college dual track and | field meet as much as day does from | The army wants everyone in the | game so when it goes into track ath- letics, it goes into the mass idea. In stead of having a 100-yard champion it wants a company which can run a 100-yard relay or shuttle race faster than any other company can This means that everybody has a chance to get the benefit. It also builds up company morale, which is a mighty Cne thing. The game is to use sport both to fit the men for the job that they are to do as well as to keep them smiling all the while. Inter- company races do just this thing. During the summer the old fashion- ed up-the-creek swimming pool would be a God-send to the boys in any camp. It's some job to have one at hand and as water is conserved many of the camps, there is mighty little.chance~to put one within the |is goin gto handle. | lines in|s area. Those camps having them are | going to be long-remembered by the! | soldier who does his training thére.|mary on soldier sport in our present ;v few miles so the job is to get busy Most of them have water within a and either find or make a big swim- ming hole. With a big swimming pool, one |large eenough to take care of four or five hundred a crack, at the army athletic director is bound to give his men a pile of sport. Nothing will ap- peal more to the boys than a dip in the pond and nothing, during hot weather. is better for them. Of| course, where there are so many all orts of safeguards are necessary so that no one comes to grief by getting in over his head when he can’t swim. All of which means extra detail. The army athletic job is a big one. As I said it is going to teach the man holding it more than he gives. No physical director alive is able to know moree than a quarter of the sports he Strange as it may seem, the average camp physical di- rector, or athletic director, if you so wish to term him, is more of an org- anizer and manager than a coach. He will have more irons in the fire than he can handle himself. His job is to get the right man to run each of the irons. Two or threee men Tunning athletics in one cantonment can keep busy six- teen hours a day and not clea up the job if they want to do th big hing for h boys. Detail and detail comes with venture. There is no end of a camp of twenty to thirty men and the mere organi- zation of games is a man's sized job. Add to that the detail and you have the work for a dozen men. Add to that the getting and handling of ath- letic equipment for the whole camp and you neell a bank president to keep straight. Th successful man at has to know about every- thing or he has a rude fall. There is a great deal of talk about standardizing sport in the service. I've read a lot of stuff along these Take it from me, if it is done he result isn’t going to be for the est. Too many matters enter into consideration. What one athletic di- rector finds possible in one camp is not always the thing for the next one. Different conditions, different climates, sites officers and men have to be dealt with and to my way of think- ing, no one set of sport is possible for all soldiers. It simply cannot be done. Then there is the law of the camp. It differs, to some extent, and no program which applies to one is any to likely to fit the others. At one camp they go in strong for ush ball Think it ideal as it get a company pitted against another com- pany. At another camp someone in | authority believed the game too rough. So pushball didn’t go there. there is the commanding officer. may have a hunch that baseball or Guoits are just the thing. As a re- sult, the fellows who want to take a fing in track are under a handicap. But the ranking officers are the best sort of sportsmen, they know what sport may do for an army and they boost it. This same thing applies all the way down. I know of one camp where a school was held for teaching various games where no equipment was nec- essary. The result was most complex. Some companies went in strong for one kind of games, others for another and ill a third couldn’t see anything in of them. Foolishness and poppy- cock, they seemed to think them; yet a company in an adjoining barracks was having the time of its life with me of these games All of which s due to the individual tastes of the various athletic- officers.in these vari- Then He lous compantes. One cannot write any sort of a sum- day army. ‘Bveryone who joins the exercises are compulsory, his sport is not. But, speaking generally, about | every soldier géts some sport out of it |and about every officer boosts sport. In any camp yoy may play in organ- ized games if you are good at ihe sport for which teams are selected. If not, you can get your fill of ath- letics just the same You have a wide range to choose from. There is every- thing in the line of baseball, soccer, tennis, basket ball, indoors and out, all kinds of track and field and recre- ative games. There is boxing and wrestling, for which there is ample in- struction, there are all kinds of indi- vidual athletic tests ad stunts and there is ping pong, indoor hockey, push ball, cage ball and no knows what all. Then there are service games, com- petition in which the idea is to speed lup the men in their military work, games in which they pitch tents, car- | ry assumed wounded men, take off and and put on equipment, do the gas mask shift and a dogen others. But whatever the game the object is the same—to make a soldier more ef- ficient and to keep his mind off the things which worry a man. Home- sickness would upset such an army as ours if it were not for the fun they get out of recreation for a good many every time there is a call who never before left home. All in all, sport is a big help toward winning the war. Boost it by backing it. (Copyright, 1918, Sol Metzger.) SMALL MEN BEHIND BAT RATHER FEW Majority of Catchers in Big Leagues Have Been Huskies. In Harry Hannah and Albert Wal- ters the Yankees have the biggest and smallest catchers, respectively, in baseball. ~Some managers prefer small backstops, while others lean to big fellows. Going back to the days of Buck Ewing, probably the greatest catcher that ever put on a mask. small catch- ers were in the minority. Gilligan and Nava of the Providence team of 1884 were midgets, but Silver Flint and Mike Kelly o fthe Chicagos, Charley Ganzell and Charley Bennett of the Detroits. Fred Carroll of the Pi- rates, Doc Bushong and Jack Boyle of the St. Louis Browns, Ewing and Bill Brown of the Giants and others Wwho were in their prime in 1889 and 1890 were big men, as to height and weight. Calliope. Miller of the Pirates and Malachi Kitteridge of the Chicagos were sawed off catchers, while John Clement. Jim McGuire, Charley Far- rell, Chief immer, Wilbert Robinson, Con Dailey, Dick Buckley, Ossie Schreck, Lou Criger, Jack Warner, Ira Thomas, Frank Bowerman, Roger Bresnahan, Chief Meyers, Hank Gowdy and other famous stars were taller and heavier than Schalk and Walters. John Kling, who once caught for the Cubs, was in the lightweight class while today Eddieh Burns of the Phillies, Gharrity of the Washing- ingtons and Yell of the Tigers also are undersized.
