ANCIENT CAVE ANIMALS
TO FURNISH PHOSPHORUS
BERNE. April 18—The Austrian
government hopes to obtain two mil
lion tons of phosphoric manure from
the bones of ancient cave a|imals
which have been found scattered in
wide deposits in caves in the moun
tainous districts of Moravia, Styria,
the Tyrol and Dalmatia. In some
crown lands there are from 100 to
1,000 of these caves, containing guano
and the bones of cave animals in great
quantities, and a special commission
has been appointed to determine the
value of these deposits and the best
method of exploiting them. Prelimi
nary searches have already been car
ried out, according to the Neue Freie
Presse, which have uncovered 300,000
tons of excellent fertilizing material

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, April 18.—
Soldiers at Camp Lewis are to have
plenty of baseball this summer. Doz
ens of baseball grounds, some of them
resembling the corner lot variety and
others approaching the standard of
those of the professional leagues, have
been supplying recreation for hun
dreds of soldiers in the afternoon and
just before sunset, after retreat has
been sounded.
At least two games a week with
teams of the Pacific Coast Interna
tional League have been assured.
These will be played when the teams
are at Tacoma. Either the Tacoma
games will be canceled on days when
they play at Camp Lewis, or the games
will be played late in the afternoon,
after retreat has been sounded.
The daylight-saving law is giving
a great impetus to baseball. It means
another hour of daylight after retreat,
which is sounded at 5 o'clock, and full
nine-inning games can be played with
out any trouble with darkness.
There are inter-company teams play
ing for regimental championships,
inter-regimental teams playing for the
division championship, and a division
team, drawn from the best baseball
talent of the camp, which will meet
outside teams at Camp Lewis and
other cities of the Northwest.
Baseball practice has been going on
at intervals since February, whenever
a few days of sunshine dried the rain
soaked grounds sufficiently. Baseball
^paraphernalia is carried into the i rain
ing grounds and trenches, where this
sort of recreation is popular during
the noon hour. Virtually every com
pany has its own equipment, and to
this has been added equipment sup
plied by the Young Men’s Christian
Association in its athletic work.
