(By United Press)
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-There isn’t,
the faintest shadow of a doubt that
the American soldier is the biggest
thing in the American heart. And
nowhere is it more evident than in
sports.
Baseball is practically sacrificing
everything to give baseball to train
ing camps next spring. The Reds
may, in fact, do their spring training
at Camp Sheridan, Ala., instead of go
ing to Shreveport, as in the past.
The Braves and Yankees, who have
been playing a scheule of games every
spring on their way north from Geor
gia, are booking all training camps
on the way for this year
More ball players are going to be in
the National army before spring rolls
around. And a great many of them
Sre going to be big leaguers. Base
ball should be its big push in the army
along with other pushes. Baseball,
in fact, should emerge from the big
game more staunch than ever in the
hearts of American sports lovers.
Harry Sparrow is tired of having
Yankee grips and things battered
around by baggage smashers. And he
evidently doesn't believe government
control of railways is going to have
any good effect on baggage handlers,
for he has made arrangements to have
baggage of the Yankees enclosed^mxt
spring in steel cases.
The new- steel cases. Sparrow be
lieves, also will be easier for ball
players to handle. And ball players,
the world knows, take no back ,seats
at no time for dressiness.
Tt is the common belief in baseball
circles that Rogers Hornsby has play
ed his last ball game for the Cardinals.
Even Miller Huggins, boss of the Yan
kees and former leader of the Car
dinals, believes it.
Hornsby, it is declared, is eligible
for the draft, and probably win be
taken. If tv rflMNi Rickey and Hen
dricks can pull sufficient wires to get
a batch of ball players In exchange
for the young star it is believed they
night be induced to do it. Again,
Hornsby is dissatisfied in St. Louis,
for he has the opinion he can get
more money for his services in one
of the larger cities.
The step taken by the American as
sociation to eliminate use of the spit
hall is destined to blaze a path of re
form in baseball. The aims of Gov.
John K. Tener, president of the Na
tional league; Ban Johnson, president
of the American league, and other
leaders In the game may yet be ar
rived at in governing pitchers.
Gov. Tener was one of the first to
take a stand against the use of the
spitball. A pitcher himself, he held
that it not only was an unnecessary
suberfuge, but was insanitary and dis
gusting to many spectators. Ban John
son has relieved himself of practically
the same sentiments. There are, in
fact, only a few' magnates who really
believe the delivery should be al
lowed.
American association pitchers wilt
be w'atched with interest during the
coming season. American association
hatting records also will come in for
close scrutiny, for its is the contention
of foes of the spitball that the delivery
interferes with free batting, some
thing a fan wants to see when he pays
for entrance to a hall game.
Prices paid for ball players in re
cent days put to shame previous at
tempts to set records in high sums.
It used to be that $5,000 was a
tremendous price to pay for a ball
player. There was a time not so long
ago when Dan Tipple and other
comers were referred to as beauties,
with the amount of their purchase
hung onto the front end.
And nowr. Oh, boy! Grover Cleve
< U /III x
land Alexander was just sold for the
price of a day’s battling in Europe.
Wally Sehang and some of his co
laborers in the baseball field just
changed hands for a sum that Jess
W iliard would not sneeze at.
And a magnate who offers less than
a fortune nowadays for a ball player
is in the piker class.
Harry Krazee has done the very
thing the Red Sox needed done. He's
put real pep Into his catching depart
ment.
The addition of Sehang. without any
other frills, would have wron the pen
nant* a year ago for the Red Sox. One
capable catcher was all the Red Sox
had. He went through a strenuous
season, and Cara Agnew is only hu
man He had to falter a little bit.

(By United Press)
WITH THE AMERICAN EXPEDI
TIONARY ARMY IN FRANCE, Dec.
18 (by mail).—Uncle Sam is moving in
his wash-tubs to wash the undershirts
and things that come back from the
trenches.
Wash-tubs are the main thing in the
big salvage base which is Just being
finished in a city far back from the
lines. There are also shoe*repair ma
chines and machines for darning socks
and patching breeches.
The quartermaster took a broad look
at the future in planning this base. He
visualized hundreds of thousands of
Sammies in the mud and filth of the
trenches'—battalions coming out every
day wearing the same clothes, down
to the last stitch, that they wore when !
they marched in. He saw that these
on looming battalions would need hot
baths and clean clothes as much as
rest and recreation.
They're going to get ’em—baths and
clothes.
Back in the cities “salvage” denotes
a careening red fire-wagon piled high
with waterproof blankets, with hel
meted salvage-corps firemen clinging
to the hand-rails.
Over here it’s something else again.
Salvage means repair, reclamation,
saving.
There will be bath stations just back
of the front, and each emerging bat
talion will have its “bath parade” on
coming out. As they enter the build
ing the Sammies will discard their
duds—jackets, breeches, shoes, socks,
shirts and underwear. They will go
through the baths and come out in
another room to find clean, dry clothes
and sound shoes waiting for them.
Meantime the salvage folk will have
gathered up the discarded clothing
First off. every garment will go
the “de-lousing” wagon, where steam
baths will kill ’em.
Next the garments are piled into
freight cars which come up to the line
with supplies and otherwise might go
back empty. At the base the Uncle
Sam laundry thoroughly launders ev
ery garment and sends them on to
other departments in the same plant
for inspection an 1 repair.
If a garment ha 5 been repaired sev
eral times before, most likely it will
go into the discard. Otherwise it will
be patched and sent 1 -ward for the
next man who comes out wet, muddy
and craving to be clean again.

RENDITION TO GOD
I looked on the ocean wild and wide,
Dashing its waves o’er the rocks so
high;
I said, as I gazed on this mighty thing,
“How puny, how little am I!”
11 watched the moon as it rose on high,
Looked on the wonderful stars of night.
Seeing these marvels of God's, I said,
“How tiny are we—how finite!”
On a summer’s morn I saw the sun
Climbing on high and shedding his light
On our small world of hills and plains.
And I said, “Only God has sight!”
I watched the light of our little world
Setting—seeing with rapture-filled
heart
The marvellous riot of color;
And I said “Only God knows art:”
—Annabelle Dennison MacConnell.

The natives of Southeastern Alaska
are making rapid developments so
cially, industrially and morally. For
merly they w’ere implacable enemies
to the white man’s methods, practiced
witchcraft, held slaves, and were
bound by the most rigid tribal rela
tions. Now it is seldom that a native
is found who cannot read or write and
speak English. Not a few of them
are well educated and own property.
The natives have subscribed liberally
toward the Red Cross, and are working
eagerly for the cause.
