GETS BATS OF STARS

LEAVENWORTH. KAS . Au. 22. There will be plenty of baseball played anions the soldiers here while the weather holds out A lar'c supply of baseball material, the gift of President Charles A. Comiskcy, owner of the world's champion Chicago Americans, has arrived in camp. In the equipment are a number of bats stamped with the names of players, who used them. These Include bats once wielded by Ray Schalk, Ty Cobb, Happy Felch. Joe Jackson, Buck Weaver, Tilly Walker, Bobby Roth and others.

Hoppe. the 18.2 baiklinc title-holder, resdes. Willi" has been ordered to find a job. otherwise he will be enrolled In class 1A of the draft. He has appealed to the district board on the ground that chance of employment would be a hardship, as he is not flttd for labor, never having; performed any.

feeling as applied to this preatest of national eraincs. would It not l,r n, order to contribute at least 75 per cent, of the gross receipts of the scries to the Red Cross? While there may have been losses sustained by thi3 branch of the sport, there are thousands of business concerns thp.t have Iom money also d'irinsr the unsettled business conditions arising from this Kreat war. yet the grfat

majority or tnem are taking their loyses uncomplainingly and giving the patriotic consideration to the necessity and cause I cannot believe that th'"1 wealthy men at the head of and connected with our national pastime would be so soddidly greedy nor the players themselves should be so selfish that they would not take the proper step to back up the boys over there in spirit as well as in action. If the game is to be kept, free from commercial taint, now is the time to remove any doubts of the true patriotic unselfishness that should govern and not create any antagonism to the game in the future.
