For grenade throwing on the menaced western front In France baseball players are wanted by the Chicago office of the 'British-Canadian recruiting station. Hen of British or Canadian citizenship and managers are asked to help the volunteering: of their men. who can qualify. "Baseball players can do better at grenade throwing1 than other men, of eourae," said a bulletin of the recruitingmission. "They have the strenyth of arm necessary to throw far and accurately. It Is far more important t have pood men throwing grenades at the Huns than to build up a winning team for ISIS. All recruiting depots want the right imen for Canadian Infantry. "W cm take ordinary laborers and teach them In ten days to put grenades Into a four-foot hole at thirty-five yards, but this is a day of specializing." DETROIT, ' Deo. 29.

The Lake county team will be represented by McCumsey and Ned Nelson who by the way is without a doubt the best bet in this part of the country both of these men being from Hammond. Clark.

We Suggest Padlock For Small Boys LegsBaseballs to Cost More CHICAGO. Dec. 29. Baseball magnates throughout this broad land probably will be letting contracts for higher fences before long. Taller paling-, although expen-Mv. will be built as a measure of economy, for the price of bsscb-Uis is going- up. Hereafter, when Ty Cobb clouts the ball out of the orchard and a small boy runs away with it the club owner will be out SI. 50 instead of $1.25. Manufacturers of baseball and other diamond paraphernalia have announced that these things will "come h.ghor" next year. Bats also will ba handled with more care, for they will cost $1.50. instead of $1.25. Shoes will be worn longer, for the price will go up from $9 to $11, and "unie-s" will be mended and repairer, for the cost will increase from $13.50 to $16.50. Golf and tennis supplies, basketball goods and other athletic equipment likewise will cost more, according to reports of sporting goods concerns. East Chicago and these five stars should and no doubt will make those Chicagoans hump to keep even with them, much less beat them. RnvGrnment

ATHLETICS AT P UPTON Followtnjr la the thirteenth of a aeries dealing with athlctlo activities la the arlous United States Army cantoameat. The Xonrteaath will appear la an early number. By K. C. HAMILTON United. Pimi Staff Correspoadeat.) NEW TORIC. Dec. 27. "A division of soldier athletes that id our goal at , Camp Upton," Frank Gllck, director of athletics at that Camp, told The United Press. Gllck, a. former athlete of renown at Trinceton. is working solely to that end, and gaining results of the most tangible sort. "Working on the assumption that the man who plays best makes the best fighter, our athletic program is so drawn up to reach every Individual in camp, not with the purpose of specializing in developing champion athletes, but rather so that all may be given a chance to p!ey and play well," he continued. Camp Upton is located on Long Island. Just a few milea out of New ; Tork. Its quota has been drawn from the densely populated portions of New Tork and nearby points. As a matter of course, there are some very excellent athletes included in the camp, and. given these as a basis, there should be turned out a most extraordinary set of soldier athletes. Regimental officers, according to Gllck. are the most active in carrying out purposes for which athletics has been introduced Into the camp. Fifteen regimental football teams were In camp. This, however, is only a small part of athletics In the camp. Baseball was played so long as the weather was decent. Likewise, soccer end other outdoor games. Aa cold weather came the men were removed to inside quarters for their games and readily took up indoor baseball, bcsketball and indoor sporta that run the whole line. "Think of a relay race," Gllck said, "in which SOO men participated; another where 240 men ran, a hand grenade cont-ist with 200 bombers, and in like manner xthe othr events featured.'" And that's only a circumstance connected with the athletic development going on in Camp Upton. The me are given every chance to enjoy themselves at the games they like best end there is a certain amount of recreative drill- ! ing, conducted along the lines Of ath letic training, every day. The old setting up exercises are begrudglngly giving over to scientific training methods. Charley Weegham still Insists the Cubs will play baseball next year, regardless of how hard the club Is hit by the draft. This will be quite an achievement, inasmuch as the Cubs weren't known to hsve played baseball last season. Now we know what has been the matter with the Philadelphia Athletics. They were hit by a depth bomb. ssd BaHatta. CZzttl,

New Star Appears in Welterweight Ring Class

MILWAUKEE. WIS., Dec. 23. Joe Eagan. a young welterweight, has stepped from obscurity into prominence within recent months and now locka fit to batllo the best in his class. Eagan recently defeated Eddie Moha decisively and showed himself to be one of the most furious fighters the game has seen In some while. In all of the scraps Eagan has had in these parts he has shown everyone that he' knows at least one Important thing, and that is how to punch. After showing against a number of fighters who had bern regarded as toufth boys, Kagan has p'.led up a record for knockouts that gave him distinction. lJ.ls cracks on the chins of his adversaries came so regularly that no one continued to believe it was mere luck. Edfie Moha was given a tnrriflc beating aAid the gong in the last round 6pnred iJtn the humiliation of a kayo. DROPPED OUT Owing to the fact that Gary has withdrawn both of her teams from the association of the Lake County Bowling Association was compelled to re-axrange its schedule. The prize list was also rearranged to meet tho requirement? of, the six teams that are now in the league whereas heretofore there were eight teams, comprising two teams from each of the cities in the association, vis: East Chicago, Hammond, Whiting and Gary. At a meeting of the board of directors held at East - Chicago on Friday last it was decided to start a new schedule because of Gary's move. 1 so that all the games so far rolled are ' not considered In the new schedule. It is to be hoped that with this new schedule, a good prize list to shoot for, that the teams now represented will do their utmost to set up good scores so as the season has advanced fur enough to take the "kinks" out of the arms of the whole hunch cf pin getters. The teams in the league as reorganized are: Hotel Dollas of East Chicago, Fife of East Chicago, Elks of Hammond, Meeker and McCuno of Hammond, Bodneys of Whiting end Bank of Whiting of Whiting. Owing to the fact that Slo'nday being New Tear's eve the games scheduled for that night will be rolled on Thursday. Vill Not Corrode from Alcohol rums CH'MPiON Trumta aad Bo

You can eliminate all risk of a frozen radiator or cracked engine cylinder by using Frost King Radiator Compound. Don't take the chance of putting alcohol in your car, as it evaporates and you have no wa of knowing whether your car is protected. Does Not Corrode or Rust. Frost King Radiator Compound does not have any corrosive or rusting action on metal. In this respect it is wholly unlike the destructive magnesium chloride liquid and powder preparation. Lasts All Winter. It does not evaporate with the water. One filling wiu be sufficient for the entire winter season, unless there is a weakening of the solution, due to loss from boiling over or leaking in the radiator or hose connections. It works perfectly at all temperatures from 36 Fahr. below zero upward. Keep your radiator full at all times. Just add more water from time to time, as the water mixed with Frost King Radiator Compound evaporates. No Blinding Alcohol Fumes. Frost King Radiator Compound contains no alcohol or other volatile substances except water. It does not

Eagan's performances hereabouts have been so remarkable as to make him worthy of battles with the best in his class. Before arriving here and piling up his k. o. record he had scarceI ly been known. Eagan's style is said i to have a resemblance to that of Terjy McGovern, as he is in constant action ! and always battling. He is not a boxer

and gives the fine points of the game th least consideration. He Is tearmg in at all times and willing to take any blows at all In order to land with his punches. He Is able to hit harder with his short hooks than any welter who has been eeen around here In many days. Short punching is his favorite pastime and he can use both hands for the purpose. There have been other fighters of Eagan's type In tho game before, but there are none too many of them today. which Is rerhaps one reason why he has come so rapidly Into promlneneo. CONTEST BOWLING Gary Is to have something new in the bowling line The first annual endurance tournament will be held in Gary at the Broadway Bowling Academy starting at 9 p. h.
