Frazee Is Anxious to Land One More Big Star Boston, Mass., Jan. 5. —President 3-1. H. Frazee, of the Boston Red Sox, yesterday stirred fandom with the announcement that he was hot Is doing a monolg in vaudeville, would further clinch the American -J.eague pennant this summer. Re fusing to disclose the player's name, he said the prospects of success were r,ood and if the deal is consummated * It will be a "startler." He said: "I can't name the player because that would put a stop to the deal, hut sou can tell the fans that it will he one big surprise if it comes through. If we don't get the man it won't be because I haven't tried every way I know." The Sox need an inflelder and one more outfielder, the former more than the latter, so guessing is diffi cult. He would not even hint at the club that has the man he is after. The statement, coming so soon after hie surprising purchase of Strunk, Bush and Schang, has got the fans anxiously awaiting developments. Manager Rowland Has An Attack of Stage Fright Chicago, Jan. 5. Clarence ("Pants") Rowland, manager of the ■world champion Chicago White Sox, Is doing a monologue in vaudeville. The other night "Pants" must have had a stage fright or some thing. for while telling about Eddie Co'lins causing Heine Zimmerman to chase him over the plate with a run In the final game, "Pants" re marked that "Zirn chased Eddie a distance of slxty-flve or seventy yards." Since the distance between nnses Is but ninety feet, Zimmerman and Collins must have staged their pet afterward for the benefit of some trovlo company that wanted a one reel comedy.

JQice Oopyrlcht, I*l7, Th Tribune Association CNeir York Tribunal You will hear, off and on, about the various needs of army life. A citizen contemplating service under The Flag thinks of sweaters, uniforms, shoes, boots, woollen helmets and a wide variety of other things that might be needed. Make a complete list of these needs and then Vou will be only half way through. For you will have left out one of the most important Ingredients. We refer to a philosophy—a philosophy that will take care of the violent wrench than is sure to follow. You need something more than a stove and a few pieces of wood to get up thirty minutes before daybreak in a cold tent pitched at the edge of a winter's dawn and make a fire without a thought, of complaint— You need something more than a uniform and good shoes and a sweater to face the endless round of drill, discipline and study in a cheerful frame of mind. You need a philosophy which will overlook all the annoyances and dis comforts and routine in a view of greater things beyond—serving The Flag and winning the war. When the soldier has arrived at the point where these last two things are the only ones that count his philosophy is completed. AX EXAMPLE Here is one illustration that may clear up the discussion a bit. Wc ran into a lieutenant just back from France. Some one brought up polite mention of the "cooties" prevalent in that battered but still valiant land. "They are bad," he remarked, "but they have their uses." Some one desired to know what he meant. "You may recall," said the lieutenant, "Mark JTwain's remark that fleas were necessary to a dog—they kept him from thinking about being a dog. Now a soldier fighting in France is no dog. But the 'cooties' that he will meet over there will undoubtedly keep him from thinking about things a whole lot worse than 'cooties'—gas shells and shrapnel. For example— A soldier beset with "cooties' doesn't bother much about shells, gas, shrapnel or anything else. And that's Just as it should be. For they are the things that one shouldn't think about if he can find something else to ponder about. Which is just where the 'cooties' have their use." THE GENERAL IDEA The above outlines the general idea. Most discomforts, one way or an other, have their uses. For one thing, they increase the value of the ordinary comforts of existence. The citizen who enters an army, or the soldier already in it, who makes up his mind that a cold tent once in a while, a fifteen mile hike, a long drill routine and various other trials and troubles and annoyances are only a small part of the game will soon find life cheerful enough. The one who doesn't adjust his mind or his~t>hilosophy to this status Is in for a bleak existence. And the best part of it all is how quickly a man who makes up his mind can come to the proper adjustment without any great wrench. The wrench may arrive later in the form of a six-inch shell, but what may happen in tho future is always a minor detail against the job you have at hand. It was Old Irv Cobb who first said that "war was a vast anaesthetic." Troubles or disasters that in moral time would land with crushing effect leave no such effect in war, for the reason that the system is already partially stunned by the overwhelming presence of death.

What Sports Are Doing For Army Here is an indication of what athletic sports are doing for the men in the Army camps. It was submitted at the convention of the National Collegiate Athletic Asso ciation by Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft, a member of the War Department Commission on Training Camp Ac tivities. In one regimental cross-country race, 1,350 men ran. Atkone time at one camp 6,500 men were swimming. More than 2,000 men have been, organized into 400 basketball teatms at one camp. In one afternoon 47 games of football were played at one camp. Boxing matches were held by 105 full companies at one camp on a insrle afternoon. Eighteen professional boxers ave trained hundreds of boxing istructors at Army camps. Only one-sixth of the athletic equipment needed at the camps has leen nrovlded. At least $484,000 Is needed for thietic equipment. MANAGERS READY TO CUT SALARIES ! Tiliis Year's Contracts to In clude Bonus Clause; Equipment High York, Jan. s.—With the ar. rival of the new year major leasruo club owners are preparing to line up their players for the 1918 season, ! and tho time for iftailing out eon ] tracts will soon arrive. Most club owners, it is said to-day, will hold up contracts until after the annual meeting of the NaUonal Commission, which will be held at Cincinnati next Monday. Ways and means of putting retrenchment poli cies into effect will be discussed at the Cincinnati meeting, and it is a certainty that salaries are to be trimmed in every direction. Bonus in Contracts For the first time since the death of the Federal League the form of I contract which calls for a bonus is expected to return to favor among the <*ub owners this year. With salaries trimmed, the club owners can afford to gamble with their stars, and pitchers, in particular, will be promised bonuses for win ning a certain number of games. . Club owners of both major leagues admit that their total expenses this year will be much heavier than in the past, even with salaries reduced. Railroad transportation will be pro portionately greater, hotel rates have risen, and the cost of playing equipment—uniforms, shoes, bats, balls and gloves—has gone up. The ball which retailed at $1.25 last year will cost 25 cents more this year. It is said.

Must Pay High Prices For Sporting Material The announcement that .there is to be an increase from $1.25 to $1.50 will not only be of interest to base ball players, but to followers of prac tically every line of sport, as it is likely that the advance in baseball prices is only the first of many fur ther advances which will take in practically all paraphernalia used by all sporting devotees. Ammunition for the trap shooter and hunter has already advanced about 200 per cent, and will go much higher. The next Grand American Handicap will cost the contestants thousands of dollars more than the 1917 shoot, which was by far the most costly ever held. Golf balls have increased in price, and it Is expected they will advance 25 per cent higher. Tennis balls, golf balls, racquets, footballs, basket balls—practically everything used in sport—may be expected to advance accordingly.

Postmaster Sites saw that the Government chief's high compli ment was posted in a conspicuous place, so that all may read. "By your zealous efforts," he said, "untirinff zeal and loyal devotion to the service you have successfully met and solved the many difficult prob lems with which the service has been confronted, and rendered efficient postal service under the most trying conditions. Information received by me through many sources shows that the service is now conducted at the highest standard of efficiency in its history, notwithstanding the fact that many of the employes have been called for military duty. You have also done much valuable work for other departments, which required time, patience and skills and which was entirely foreign to the postal service. During the holiday season just past you have handled in a more tiuccessful and expeditious manner than in any previous year the largest volume of Christmas mail ever en trusted to '*ie postal service. The instance in which the mail was not so handled was due to causes beyond the control of the postal service and for which you are in no wise re-i sponsible. The magnificent achieve ments of the past year have been ob tained by your efforts and you are entitled to the credit for them."

There are basketball rules galore according to the way some teams play. Looking at last night's game one would think there were all kinds of rules. There is a difference be, tween the games played Saturday nights and the scholastic contests. Eastern League rules should be overlooked by referees in scholastlo games. There .is no censure due Dave Mc- Connell, who refereed last night's Tech-Lebanon game. Harrisburg has no stronger advocate for clean sport than this star, who is still in the game. He will come around all right. It is not an easy thing to play and referee under one set of rules, jump right la on something different and not make mistakes.
