rROOPERS MAKE SPORT OF WORK FOR Tl LONDON, Oct. -14. Th Germans call the British mad because of their passion for sports. But it was a Can adlan division, which shose to have Its movable kitchens cooking a real meal as it passed Minister of War Lloyd-George in review, that later held the first field and track meet in which only wargames were contested. Since then these field days have become popular all through the British forces. The old time war game, a sort of chess played by senior commanders, Is not of much use in this "war of position." In its stead many other games have been invented. One favorite is a gas helmet race. The spectacle of a line of men wearing their helmets and looking like bipeds with elephants' heads racing over a hundred yard course makes one who sees It for the first time burst into laughter. Is Almost Like War. "Digging in under fire," another favorite 6port, bears a strong resemblance to hard work. Each competitor has an entrenching tool and ten minutes in which to show what a fine cover for himself against a hostile "Jack Johnson" he can make in that time. Bomb throwing matches are somelimes played from practice trenches, but usually on a smooth surface. The bombs by the rules must be bowled and not thrown. The target is thirty or forty yards away. It resembles in phape a gigantis "hot cross bun," and the maximum in points is awarded tor missies dropped in a circle at the center of the cross. The Canadians were the first to establish barbed wire fence building as I sport. Nine coils of barbed wire and twenty posts are the material. The competitors must build an "apron Tence" and the team first completing Its work In a satisfactory manner wins. No TalklnfiAA!lowed. One curious rule in this game is that bo talking may be done. In the field these fences are built at night close o the enemy, who would be much in terested in the work if they knew fcbout It. The old stretcher bearer competition tonsisted in four men carrying a banlaged "patient" on a stretcher for a lundred yards. Sometimes a glass of Mtter was placed on the stretcher and the spilling of a drop eliminated the learn. The Canadians have improved this iport by abolishing the stretcher it nvst now be Improvised out of the icarost available material. The weares of the maple leaf have llso Improved what Is called the "Vicorla Cross race." The old way mount

ed men galloped from one end of the arena to the other, snatched up a straw stuffed figure supposed to be a fallen comrade, threw it across the saddle and rode back through a storm of blank cartridges. The Canadians laughed at the dummies. They use real men weighing twenty times as much. Changes Fighting Method. The war has changed bayonet fighting methods. In the old bayonet game the wire-helmeted fencer, swaddled In pads and wielding, a knob-headed weapon parried and thrust at his antagonist, both standing their ground. "The bayonet fighter of the old school." said an instructor In the new practice, "would be killed while ha was feinting, dodging, giving ground and looking for an opening." The new bayonet contest is a kind of obstacle race, in which the com petitor stabs, Jabs and bludgeons as he runs, using the point of a naked bayonet and the butt of a service rifle, always going forward, never feinting or giving ground an Inch. CONVICT CANDY PULL ENDS IN DISASTER ANNISTON, Ala., Oct 14. An old fashioned candy pulling in the Calhoun county Jail here resulted in a quantity of sorghum, a bucket of disinfectant and the overalls of Telas Morrison, prisoner and official candy maker, went up in smoke. The prisoners were boiling the sorghum on an Improvised stove when the disinfectant caught fire. Morrison's overalls became Ig nited and he was badly burned. There will be no more candy pulling in the Jail. Guests must content them selves with some other diversion. MRS. HUGH R. GILMORE ENTERTAINS TO BRIDGE PARTY EATON, O., Oct. 14. Mrs. Hugh R.
