$ '';Ar- battlefront In Europe, the United States
. TSor the men on the flrlnK lino and In tho training enmps. In fnct, the American
army Is making: preparations to Instruct nnd entortuln tho khakl-clad heroes In
thelr off hours, and nothing has proved moro beneficial than wholcsomo and strenu
ous sport.
v Boxing will form the principal excrclso nnd ono of the Greatest exponents of
the game will havo chargo of the work of teaching tho men. In Canada every
oldler 1 required to put on the rIovcs ench day and lndulgo In a certain number of
rounds of sparring, This Is considered quite Important, ns boxing Is nn Importnnt
'Mirt of the bayonet drill, Mlll.tary authorities havo found that boxers mnko tho
best bayonet fighters and that the movements of a boxer nre cxnclly tho move
Rents of a man fighting with a bayonet. It hat been aborted that the success of
the English nnd French In this sort of righting In tho trenches has been duo to
boxing, the great Anglo-Saxon sport.
When war was declared many athletes In tho United States rushed to tho
Colors, but the boxers were In the minority. Many said they wero ready to Join tho
Wg fight, but this never passed tho conversation stago. Wlllard offered his services
- until they were nccepted, and then forgot all about It. Tho other champions, with
the exception of one, dodged all nrguments and remained In tho background.
JOHNNY KILBANE, tho featherweight champion, Is tho only title
r holder who really has done something besides talk. He quietly offered
1 s his services to his country nnd they have been nccepted. IIo will havo
charge of tho boxing work In the camps and will devote his t'mo to travel
ing from place to place, teaching the men the manly art of sclf-dofotiRt
Kilbane Desirouii of Doing Something Worth While
KILBANE Is anxious to do something really uoitli while and thought uf this
plan when he was visiting Philadelphia two weeks ago. IIo had read of tho
boxing carnivals behind tho battle lines and thought it would bo n good thing to
try It here. He did not give a second thought to his Income of $30,000 to $50,000
ft year. He was willing to glvo this up In order to help In tho mobilization of tho
rmy. Ho made n special trip to Washington to Secretnry of War Halter, but the
Secretary was In a Cabinet meeting. IIo then wrote a letter, offering his services,
and yesterday received the following reply:
"I am delighted to rocelvo your letter of May 31, although It must seem to you
that It takes me a long time to answer. Tho fact Is that I have boon very bus and
have not had tho opportunity to read my letters, which linvo been accumulating
for some tlmo.
"I am extremely unxlous to havo tho training camps filled with athletic activi
ties of one kind or another, and I think it would bo a splendid thing for you to glvo
some of your time to teaching boxing In tho various camps. I hnvo, therefore,
asked Mr. Fosdlck, who Is chairman of tho commission in charge of training
camp recreations, to take the matter up with you and nrrango for such opportuni
ties as he can find with a view to your rendering this service.
"I think It Is a fine thing for you to do, nnd I will bo very glad Indeed to Jlnd
another Clevelander at work on the Job. With cordial regards, believe mo, sln
erely yours, "NEWTON D. BAKEIt.
Secretary of War,
Kilbane says he will report ns soon ns ordered, and If his work In tho camps
Interferes with his boxing dates he will glvo up tho latter. Tho llttlo champion
has proved that ho is a true American citizen, ready to do his "bit" and sacrifice
verythlng else. How many other champions can say tho wmo?
BENNT LEONARD'S apparent itluctnnco to sign up for a bout evidently
had something to do with Johnny's latest move. Tho featherweight
champ was anxious to meet tho now title-holder nnd made tho weight at
135 pounds, ringside, but Gibson and his man refused to even consider It.
Captain Tom Flannigan Boxing Booster
fTAPTAIN TOM FLANNIGAN, of Toronto, brother of John Flannigan, tho liam
J mer thrower, has"returned from tho front, and, speaking of tho value of boxing
in the camps, said:
"Our boys don't waste time now thinking about what may happen next week
or when they 'go over the top.' When a mnn comes back from tho trenches for n,
rest he doesn't mope around worrying nbout anything. The only thought in his
head Is a desire to seo tho football game, or the lacrosso match, or the boxing
tournament that night In which his company has a good featherweight or heavy
weight. Ho wants to go to seo tho fight; not the battle out In front bo's forgotten
that but the fight in tho ring that tho regiment has been talking ubout for weeks
While the men were training for It.
"Boxing Is the greatest of all the sports. Every man boxes, even If ho isn't
ploked to represent his company in a team of boxers. Every man Is taught to box,
because the sidestepping, the quick lunges nnd tho movements of boxing nio
bayonet-fighting movements. 'Long point Is a left lead, nnd 'butt over' Is a
traight right to the Jaw. A man lighting with tho bayonet is taught to stand and
move like a boxer.
MfTlHE mental side of athletic training furnishes nn exhilaration that Is
- carried Into the fighting. When Canadian troops go 'over tho top'
for a charge they toss out n couplo of footballs, nnd tho men kick the.so
along ahead of them as they run. It Is so like a football match that they
hardly notice tho shells and machine-gun bullets. In no time they'ro in
among the Germans, and after that It's a great free-for-all boxing match
with bayonets."
Ebbets Proves Weather Man to Be Aw fully "Mean" Guy

D. Rockefeller loves to rldo over tho links on n blcyclo after whaling the oluslvo

J. P. Morgan finds surcease from tho tedium of financing world lonns In tho yacht
game. Two leading figures In the baseball world nro generally reported to be
particularly Interested In collecting autographs of prominent otllclals of the Unltod
States Treasury Department and of leading banks, tho samo preferred whon they
happen to docorate yellow bills of exchange. Mr. Dreyfuss, of Pittsburgh, la ono
party in point, and Charles Ebbets, of Brooklyn, tho other.
Mr. Dreyfuss has no other hobbles, as far as Is generally known, but Mr.
Ebbets goes In strong for the pot-dlverslon stuff. His favorite side lino Is tho
weather. For years Mr. Ebbots has insisted and has charged that tho clhnutlo
mentors were a bad lot, particularly with referenco to tho nrrangement of tho
playing schedule In tho senior major league. They havo had It In for tho schedulo,
Without doubt, and the suggestion has beon offered by Mr. Ebbets, who has given
profound and original study to tho problem, that tho thing to do Is not to try to
make the weather people be good, but to compromise by adopting a xchedulo
cutting out April altogether and substituting October.
According to the Brooklyn premier meteorologist, who produces tables to
substantiate his accusations, tho temperature all during late years has been mean,
precipitation mean and the velocity of the wind per hour awfully mean. Forty
live years of official records sustain his arraignment. Ho even goes back Into tho
statistics as far as seventy-nine years to prove the very significant fact that there
la five times as much mean snowfall In April as In October. The percentage of
possible sunshine column la another clinching argument in favor of passing up
April for October In the proposed rearrangement of the National League schedule,
the same being advocated with publicity headquarters locnted at Bedf6rd nvenue
and Sullivan street. "Brooklyn, New York, which happens to be tho samo address as

New Star Makes Good in Big Race at the Motordrome
WHEN Reggie MacNamara was taken sick and could not compote in the forty
mile motor-paced race at Point Breeze Saturday night, he sent out his tru3ty
scouts to find a substitute. After -combing the city of Newark, N. J., one of the
scouts stumbled upon George Cameron, virtually an unknown, and shipped him
to Philadelphia, George was allowed to ride In the race and fooled everybody by
winning over such men as Bedell, Drobach, of Boston, and Frank Corry, the Aus
tralian champion. Cameron performed as well as Carman, Wiley, Walthour or
any of the others, winning the event only after the hardest kind of work. He
picktd up a puncture early in the race and lost a mile before the change was
made. Corry seemed to have the vlotory clnchod, but the Newark entry tore after
him and lapped him three times before taking the lead. He stuplc behind Hunter,
who did the pace-making, and was piloted to victory. Hunter's work bad a great
deal to do with the winning of tho race.
Although this is the first time Cameron has appeared here in a motor-paced
('wce, ho is not new at the grime. Nine years ago in 1908 he rode in Atlanta,
Bt slace that tlmo he has been out of the paced game. He competed In the
OlyaJFlc games twice and has appeared on many of the big tracks In this country
