YANKEE SOLDIERS IN FRANCE

Americans Organize Baseball League in Paris and Are Ready to Arrange Schedule. The American Soldiers’ Baseball league, which has been organized in Paris, is ready to arrange a schedule for the season’s games. The league comprises clubs made up of men of all the different categories of the service in the city —the aviation service, the engineers, the military police, the Soldiers and Sailors’ club, the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., and the quartermaster’s department. Practice games already played have shown plenty of good material available for the teams, whose workouts in the Tuileries gardens, in Montmartre, and other quarters of the city have aroused great curiosity on* the part of Parisians.
