'ATHLETICS ARE
POPULAR AT
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20. — Sol
diers' ramps In the far west are buz
’ zing with athletic activities.
In every camp on the Pacific coast,
as In most other places of assemblage
for army men throughout the country,
committees ore being appointed and
preparations made for the selection
of material for baseball and football
teams and contestants in every other
liner of sport.
At the Presidio, Fin Francisco, a
basketball tournament is already un
der way, the season opening with 20
teams, made up of soldiers. Most of
the games in this tournament are
played at night.
Baseball also is a leading pastime,
OR teams having been formed to play
among themselves or to challenge out
siders as occasion presents. Prepara
tions are being made for the opening
of the baseball season, with the possi
bility that a Presidio soldiers' eleven
and a team from the University of
California will he the chief contenders
for honors.
The promotion of sport at the Pre
sidio as at other camps, is largely un
der the direction of the Y. M. C. A.
In each camp a physical director has
complete charge of recreation. Mis
principal work is to stimulate interest
- in the various branches of sport.
Saturday is usually the big day of
each week at the various camps.
Wrestling, boxing, golf, tennis, swim
ming and track contests are also popu
lar among the soldiers.
National guardsmen have begun ar
riving at Camp Kearny, near San
Diego, Cal., and the national army
men at Camp I,ewis, near Tacoma,
Wash., and the organization of ath
letics is already under way.
“Somewhere” in California before
long. Sam Crawford, the slugging out
1 fielder of the Detroit Americans, is
* to begin spending “the afternoons of
his life.” Crawford is to retire at the
end of this season after fifteen years
with the Detroit club. “Crawford
day,” celebrated recently in Detroit,
informally marked the close of the
famous player's career. It is under
stood he may engage in business in
some California town If the opportun
ity presents itself.
Crawford is one of the most popu
lar ball players who has ever stepped
on the Detroit field. Me has often
been used as a pinch hitter this sea
son, and each time that he walked
to the plate a demonstration followed.
Crawford's clean living and his long
record of faithful service will be long
remembered in Detroit. Ministers
have referred to him from the pulpit
as a model for ambitious youths.

PATHETIC LETTER
FROM A BRAVE
SOLDIER BOV
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Sept. 21—How a British
officer feels just before he goes into
action is tragically described in the
following letter to his parents, re
ceived after the news of his death:
• My Darling Mater and Dad: —
Tornorow at dawn there’s a hell of
a show coining off and this will reach
*you if 1 get knocked out. Mater, be
brave—for God's sake be as brave as
I know you can be—for it’s hell to
bear. Anyhow, you’ll be proud, too,
won't you? ’Cos it’s the best death
a chap can have.
Do not think with pain of the many
things 1 loved; the favorite songs,
the friends, the tennis, the picnics on
the downs, but lot their memory make
you enjoy them the more! Nothing
to say and this is a horrid letter to
- write. So good-bye. Mother and Dad,
and cheer up everyone.

ENGLISH TITLES
; MORE COSTLY
FOR HEIRESS
(By United Press)
LONDON, Sept. 20. — There Is n
strong movement under way in Eng
land to make English titles harder to
get. There Is no disposition, let It he
reassuringly strtd, to put the bars up
against American heiresses. So far
as can be ascertained, the status quo
ante is to be preserved in that re
spect, though the ante Itself may he
raised.
Americans may believe that the
scandal of the English nobility is the
manner In which a wealthy American
girl may marry a titled Englishman,
and straightway become a duchess,
more or less. But the real scandal is
the manner in which many English
men have obtained their own titles.
For years there has been talk of the
political trading involved, and now the
bad feeling seems to have come to a
head.
Lord Selborne, with apparently un
impeachable right to his own title,
having obtained the support of forty
others similarly fortified, it Is pre
sumed has put the matter up to the
house of lords. He has proposed a lit
tle measure to require public an
nouncement of the reasons for all
grants of honors and dignities. That
Is to say, when the prime ministers
recommends to the king that Bill
Jones, Esq., be made Sir Bill Jones.
K. C. B., he shall publish the fact and
the wherefor. Since the king confers
practically all such honors on the
prime minister's suggestion, this. In
the opinion of Lord Selborne and his
.heroic forty followers, should stop the
evil.
But they have another bill. This
would require the prime minister to
declare to the king. In each case, that
no payment direct or indirect was
made or promised In connection with
the title grant. That Is to say, that
no contribution to the party’s funds
had been made by the eager recipient
of the honor. The press is supporting
Ixtrd Selborne with enthusiasm. "The
existence of the scandal is notorious,”
says the Times. "The most valuable
asset of the state, its power to ennoble
Is cheapened and degraded and a tra
dltlon of honor becomes a means of I
corruption," says the Post.
As said before, all this contains lit
tle to worry Atnerlran heiresses. If
titles become scarcer they may cost
a little more in the .marriage market,
that is all. And they will not really
be any scarcer In the circle at which
the heiresses aim—the ancient and
hard-ttp circle whose titles are of long
standing,
