Contending that baseball, as the na tional pastime, should be given the rec ognition by the Government that boxing and other sports enjoy In the army camps through the appointment of pro fessional Instructors, Owcn'Jr Harris, athletic director for the Knights of Co-i lumbus heft, has wrlttenito Ban B. Johnson, president of the American League, seeking the co-operation of that official. Harris believes thnt many of tho big league ball players who are now seek ing employment In shipyards and mu nition plants could be more profitably used In war work by training the men of the National Army In the fine points of the great American game. After watching the result of ten months' training among the boys of the army, It, Is evident that their Interest In baseball exceeds that displayed In all other aports. combined, yet there. are not three professional baseball instructors In tho camps, aside from the big leaguers who were drafted and those who enlist ed, and their activities have been con fined to playing the game on army teams' rather than instructing the less proficient rookies In the finer points of tho game. The letter of Harris to President Johnson follows: Dear Mr. Johnson: I regret exceedingly that,, we are unable to complete the planB of giv ing the soldiers of this camp enter tainment by bringing the American Lengue clubs here ,to play twilight exhibition games. Howeer, may I add that the plac ing of some of your league stars, and I might add yourself, In the various cantonmants as organizers and In structors of baseball in the army would stimulate greatly Interest In the sport? To be 'played at Its highest stand ard, baseball must have professional Instructors and be placed upon the same 'standard as boxing, swimming and other outdoor exercises that aid both mind and body, i thnnl; vou pxceedlnclv for your previous co-operation and trust that you will give your valuable assistance to bringing about the plan suggested above. Very truly yours, OWEN J. HARRIS. This letter followed tho receipt of a communication from President Johnson stating that the outlook for professional baseball passing Into tne Qiscara through the work-or-flght order of Sec retary Baker would preclude bringing bfg league, teams here to meet the men of the eleventn division team. The Knights of Columbus interest in the matter was furthered by the fact that the appointment of John Evers as professional Instructor for tho men now in France had brought nation-wide ap probation and a most hearty response from the soldiers now with Pershing. The following enlisted men now in auxiliary remount depot No. 304 here have been transferred to the quarter master corps and sent to Camp Joseph E.

SHIPYARD IS PROUD OF REPAIR PLANT Harlan-Bethehcm Company Points Out Importance of 'Maintenance' Department i . One of the most essential departments of the modern shipyard Is what Is known sb the "plant maintenance," This Is what one might also call the tool hos pital. i .A,Lt,ne broken-down things are taken into this department to be repaired, and In many Instances rebuilt. Here Is what the Harlan News, the Harlan-Bethlehem Company's Wilmington weekly, says about this concern's maintenance plant, its vital Importance and some of Its personnel: . An army Is no stronger than Its muni tions supply, and a shipyard Is about as efficient as Its plant maintenance makes It. Harlan Is pretty well up there with any of them In the matter of ef ficiency, so there Is no other logical con clusion than that Jim Marshmah and his troops figure somewhere In one big ?e4a- They figure In It In Just this way: it the riveting hammers buckle up they must be rehabilitated In the pneumatic toolroom. If a drilling or reaming ma chine blows a tire It must also limp into the Marshman garage and be vul canized before it Is again serviceable. Tool, Mast Be Replaced Tools that ETOW nld nnrl fnAl,lA tM .MM iue mu,Bt be rePaceJ. Parts Refashioned, the air-speed hammer must have u .power regulated, these and many other uuuiiuiis acpena on the plant maln- vaumiii-e uepanment lor their tlon. opera- A lessening of the power, delay In the repair of the hammers and machines means loss of time and money for the corporation as well as the men. No matter how fine the spirit Is among the men. no matter how well the work has been laid out, if tho tools and equipment are not maintained to the highest pos sible pinnacle of efficiency, then the en tire organization is thrown out of whack. "The plant maintenance must dovetail with the vital parts of the yard or else there Is much lost motion. Lost mo tion In the shipbuilding Industry now more than ever before. Is fatal to Its success. Speed Is the modern war In dustrial byword, and speed Is always to a large degree regulated by equip ment. Taxing equipment to its utmost means double the wear and tear on Its vitals. "The necessity of Increasing tho ship building army has meant a consequent strain oi tools through being operated by Inexperienced hands. ' Three Able Generals "Jim Marshman has threo able gen erals In command of his front line In Fred Shackleton, In charge of all re pairs ; Charles Scrafford, supervisor of the powerhouse : 'Lcs Galloway, mill wrlght head. Jim dopes out the dally plan of battle and has been directing It for the last thirteen years. Of course. It wasn't always as stiff an offenshe as he Is waging at the present time, but it has nlways been sharp enough to suit even Hustling Jim. "They have been heaping extra duties on Jim so long now and so fast that he's used to It. Jim Just smiles when they tell'hlm'up In -The front office that they want him to'take over the supervision of this or that In addition to his other duties."

That the men of Dlx do not forget the people back home Is evident from the amount of letterheads and envelopes they use In a month. Both the "i, M. t,. A. and the Knights of Columbus keep ihoir hut,, well sunnlled at all times wltn writing material and encourage every soldier to let their friends and relatives know how they are getting along. With the vast Increase In tho population of the camp the amount of paper they use is enormous, about 1,000,000 letterheads and 700,000 envelopes being distributed by the Y. M. C. A. alone. Not only are the Dlx men thoughtful, but they axe saving. !& tne. " lx. winter months almost 3200.000 worth of express money orders were sold, the greater amount being taken right after payday when the soldiers were very keen about sending money home. Sergeant Thomas P. Woods, of the base hbspltal. has been commissioned a first lieutenant In the sanitary corps and ordered to report to the base hospital at Camp Meade. .

LITTLE HOG ISLAND TO COST ABOUT $55,000,000 "Worth Every Nickel,' Says Schwab, who Contends Other Estimates Too Low Hog tsland If now 95 per cent com pleted and when tho ln"t piece of con struction work Is finished the big ship yard will have cost $55,000,000. s "And worth every nickel," Charles M, Schwab, director general of the Emerg ency Fleet Corporation, enthusiastically exclaimed when he spoke of the work dono there. "I think It Is about time the people were set right on this Hog Island mat ter,'' he said. "I hao heard estimates of $21,000,000 originally were given for the cost of the yard, but I don't be lieve the sum ever was mentioned of ficially. If such an estimate was made. It was at a time when labor nnd ma terials were not so costly as they have been, and tho increase wasn't figured sufficiently strong. But cost ns much as It does, Hog Inland Is going to be worthy eery nickel spent on the plant." Mr. Schwab has arranged a meeting of the big steel men of the nation next Monday, when he will outline his plans for filling every shipyard with a re serve supply of 60,000 tons of steel. "I am going to tell those steel men Just what we want, and when I get through the shlpjards will be receiving 4,000,000 tona of steel annually," he said. "LOOK PLEASANT, PLEASE!" Needless Request to Make of Obliging Service Corps Men nnd women of the entire service department of the Chester Shipbuilding Company, who get up all the diversions for the shlpworkers there, looked their pleasantcst before a camera yesterday nt nnnn In thn v.ird. Tn servic department Is a big brother to all the men and women In the place. If they wish to dance, skip rope, swim, play ball, tennis, sing or otherwise amusa themselves, they first ask tho service department. And they aro never refused. The workers df the department, from "Chief" Henry Galster down, and even the highest officials of the company fre quently play,, or nt least appear with them. So It wa yesterday. This was the first time the whole "gang" bad ever assembled for a photograph. A concert by the shipyard band pre ceded the photography, and there was a large turnout. WANTS RESULTS OR NO MONEY Governor Edge Dissatisfied With Work of Fisheries Board Trenton, July 20. State Comptroller Bugbee"" has ' announced that the State Board of Fisheries will receive no part of its appropriation of $10,000 unless it begins to show Immediate results. This hoard was nart of Governor Edge's plans to decrease the high cost of living by placing upon the market ror tne people, the edible fish caught In the waters of the State.

"They are nil making more money than they used to and they have different ways of spending their surplus, some nave nut most or their savings In nice furniture. Some have put It on their hacks.

The colonel has been In the shlnvard several months and was recently trans it rra irom me nousing department io the machine shon. where he Is learnintr another angle of shipbuilding. This man was considered wealthy In his own land when the war started.

He rears that his property has beer. lost. but ,n spite of all, Gadsevitch has a perpetual emlle and seems perfectly con tented. 300 HOMES NEARLY READY Workers in Sun Yard Watch Operation With Interest With cool weather only a few months off, shlpworkers at tho Sun Company's yard, at Chester, are watching with keen Interest the progress of tho work on the 1000 homes the company Is build ing for their use In Chester. If nothing unforeseen occurs, nearly 300 of these houses will be ready for occupancy by August 15. It Is hoped that the remainder will be thrown open to the ship men about September 1. Most of the men with families who are depending on this operation for housing have already ordered their coal for the winter, and they nre not likely to be disappointed, for Uncle Sam 1? looking out ror nis own mese aays.

About two years ago the company was on the lookout for a bright girl who could say 'Hello'." And they came fast, too, for there were ninety-nine lines to be handled by this one girl. Miss Hlgglns was chosen for the Job nnd ronic may doubt it, but she declared today It was a "splendid position" and that she had a "perfectly grand time" pushing plugs and reading the signal flashes of the little electric bulbs. Miss Hlgglns, who Is a niece of James A. Flaherty, Supreme Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus, of Philadel phia, held down the Job to the satisfac tion of her superiors for about a year. Then she went to the timekeeper's ofllce to help flguic out the pav of the ship workers There are now three operators on the tiny shift and two at night. Of course, there are now more lines than there were when Miss Hlgglns held tho fort, still the latter's record at the switchboard Is considered remarkable.
