WHKN the announcement was made that .lohn Hhlbe li.nl offered tlm
Athletics' baseball park to the soldiers, and sailor for ue any day
that the Mackmrn were not scheduled to play. Immediately there arose
ome opposition to the staging of games on Sunday. Obviously h rcfucal
kty Mayor Smith to allow the enlisted men to witness Hiid participate In
games on Sunday would be an obstacle to the efforts of Lieutenant Colonel
Charles B. Hatch, the Government's law-enforcing representative In Phil
adelphia. Colonel Hatch was sent heie lo make the city morally lit for. our
fighters. One of the problems which confront him Is pin.idltig wholesome
amusement for the men. Unless this can be found, the men themselves will,
Whether purposely or not, be Instruments in the way of making Philadelphia
rice-free.
Tbe ui'estlnr. of allowing games Ht Shlbe Park for the soldiers and
sailors Is In no wise connected with the old matter of permitting Sunday
baseball to b' played by league clubs. It Is a part of the duty of Philadel
phia and Its citizens to do everything possible to help build tip the army
and navy, and to keep the men in condition after they have cuteied the
service.
In permitting baseball to be played on Sundays at Shlbe Park a tils part
Of the lecreatlon problem would be solved for the 20.000 service men who
are. always In the city. The plans are to allow only; enlisted men and their
invited friends to the Raines and to have no admission fee. This would
undoubtedly have a splendid moral effect on the fighting force not only here,
but would pave the way for other cities to grant the men In their com
munities the same privileges.
If our forcer must light on Sunday, as they certainly have to do, theie
Is neither a logical nor a moral reason why they should not have all the
recreation possible on Sundays or whatever other day they are allowed to j
have tg themselves.
TK ALL goes. we!! and the soldiers and sailors are allowed to play
at Shlbe Park there Is little doubt that the PhillleM will also grant
the men the same privilege. This would mean that the men here
could see u good game every Sunday when the weather permitted.

"In the major leagues than Amos Strunk. The Hed Sox gardener has
many qualifications as an outfielder which aic not realized by the average
fan. Strunk's remarkable Judgment of fly balls now and when he occupied
the- middle position for Connie Mack has enabled him to Held with case
batted balls which others would have allowed lo diop in safe territory. j
Not only Is Strunk's Judgment nearly flawless as a fly letrlever, but j
his great speed permits him to convert dilllcult chances Into comparatively
simple plays. Amos never has allowed himself to do the reverse; that is,
make hard chances out of easy ones. He is off at the crack of the bat and Is
usually camping under the ball when it descends. Tilts not only Insures
safety on that particular play, but puts him In u better position to leturn

THE appended stanzas were conceived and written by Private Dyroil
Beardsley. of the war risk section of the I'nlted States army In Krance!
The Hum had not bren challenged nov scheduled lo appear,
But the game began four years ago on a Hun-llelgiqiie frontier;
The Allied team teas crippled, yet had no time to stall,
for the voice of domination had plainly cried, "I'lay ball!"
In the early Innings of the game the Hermans took the lead,
Their forty years of practice had developed lots of speed;
The Allies' southpaw, Belgium, teas pitching clever ball,
But Ms comrades and the captain considered him too small.
So rather than give up the game by taking such a chance.
They Shifted him to second and substituted I'ranre:
The Germans thought that time leas ripe to carry out their mission,
And figured they could icin the game by fiance's poor condition.
A Boche came up and toed the platr. then tripled over Arras;
ilo decided he could stretch the hit and slide right Into Paris;
But the ball seas neatly handled by fiflders that teere fast

The "lucky seventh" rolled around the Allies came to bat;
Old Kaiser Bill teas pitching and his arm teas sore at that; '
Canada singled over Vlmy nidge (he uHllingly paid the price).
Then Edith Cavcll xcalked to the plate and made a sacrifice.
Italy slammed a drive which rang telth a sounding thud;
His spikes got tangled In Hun intrigue, then tripped and fell in mud;
The next ball teas a beauty, knee-high, and near the shanks.
And a cfefer drive for a double teas made by the British "tanks."
This splendid Allied rally had tilled the Huns tcith doubt ;
Hut uslth ttco on and no one out the Russian Bear struck out;

By PAUL PREP
SA.MUKI-J. DALLAS, the ever-hustliiiu
secretary of the Meadow brook flub
and nlao the president of the Middle
Atlantic District of the Amateur Ath
letic Union, has started preparations for
the big spsing and yumnier drive of the
local department store association in
track and field athletics.
This morning Secretary Pallas an
nounced that Bill Uanzenmuller, the
sprinter extraordinaty of the State Col

Club and that lie would compete under
Its colors this year. State College closed
its school term on Monday, so Bill ac
cepted a position the same afternoon
at the department store
The addition of Uanzenmuller greatly
strtnghtens the department store club,
and unless several more of the niembein
enlist or are drafted before September
Meadowbrook should finish high among
the leaders tn the annual track and held

Uanzenmuller is one of the heal dash
men In the country. During the last
Indoor season he won the 45-yard dash
of the Meadowbrook games and the 60
yard national A, A. IT. championships.
Several weeks ago. In an Interclass meet,
Oanzenmullrr ran 100 yards In even

a K.00.000 house and felt jubilant over the prospects:. He had a chance to
tcap a fortune and felt that the public should give him u ote of thanks for
the part he played In the affair. That money talk Hid not make much of a

But how times have changed 1 No
longer do we hear any mention of the

j Is Just, money, money, money, and Jess
i Is planning to get all of It. Right now
i Is the time to call everything off or do
something really worth while. If a
' battle Is held, let it be a teal battle

arrangement to give part of tbe pro
ceeds to the ttalning camp fund or some
thing like that
I Hinkle Want- Mated
Theie Is one man In these I nlted
States who Is able to stage tbe bout and
' put up a pure large enough for the
I money-mad mil iiattie-sny -iigmers in
work for. He Is Matt Illnkle. of Cleve
land, but all of his overtures have been
treated with silent scorn. Hinkle Is a
i man of means and. more than that, a
true sportsman. tie has staged big
bouts in the past and could do well with
' this one. He has offeted a purse of
f 1 05.1100. bill no one has given lilm a
tumble, as they say at the olympla
! Hinkle is In a class by himself when
It conies to piomotlng boxing contests.
He never has had a failure and Knows
his business from stait to finish. He
knows he cannot get Fulton and Willard
in the ring unless they are well paid
for It, so the big purse was offered.
The training-camp fund, the Jted Cioss;
tobacco fund and other wai charities
will be taken care of out of his own
profits If there are any protlts.
Has Ideal Site
New Orleans has, been spoken of as
a imssltile place to bold the big fuss, hut
Illnkle has a better place than that Just
a few bouis fioui Cleveland. Cedar
Poln:. O. Is an Ideal spot to stage a
championship bout. Johnny Kilbane de
fended his title against (Jeoige Chaney
at that place two years ago. and the
spectators were perfectly satlslled with
the arrangements. Incidentally, fifteen
rounds to a decision Is legal and the nal-
tie should he decided by mat tune.
