BRINGING UP

3C1 I P1QUA PLAYERS TO MEET GIANTS The double bill at Exhibition Park Sunday will be between the fast Piqua Coca Colas and the Richmond Giants. In the early part of the seaeon the Piqua team played here and the game was called in the third inning when the score stood 3-1 In favor of the visitors. At the time the game was called, however, there were two men on base and "Homerun" Lynch at bat. Last Sunday the Giants defeated the speedy Liberty crew in the first game of a double header and In the second game the score was tied when the game was called at 6 o'clock In the seventh frame. The Piqua manager in a letter to George Brehm, the booking agent for the Giants, stated that his team has been made a great deal stronger by new players from Dayton, Hamilton and Springfield. The probable Giant lineup will be, Francis, 2b; Cooper, cf; Jones, c; Lynch, 3b; Hannibal, rf; Charleston, If; Mclteynolds. lb; Day, ss; Burdette or Coleman, p. n m am mm a a a o p aav rtB thf NATIONAL LEAGUE Clubs Won.

pa Baseball Playing to Be a Part of the Physical Training of French Army PARIS, Aug. 21. Caseball playing Is to become a regular part of the physilal training of the French army, as a result of reports made by French officers on what they had seen of the effects of baseball on the American army. The reports led the ministry of n at iu issue au uiuci i tvjuiuuitjuuiu the adoption of baseball In the Frenc army. General Vldal, Tuesday sent Captain G. Forbes, an American officer attached to his staff, to the headquarters of the Knights of Columbus with a request that John Evers, the former American baseball star, be sent to his corps to instruct the soldiers in the American national game. The request was granted and Evers will go to the French camp with two assistants and equipment provided by the Knights of Columbia. He will remain a fortnight after which his assistants will continue the instruction. JACK KEENE With the summer vacation nearing its end practically every school and college in the country is preparing to continue all branches of athletics, adding many military features which brings the thought that there will be a pronounced change in sports after the war. Many of the games, which have held only a moderate interest for years but which have been kept in the list for want of better events, will give way to contests of a military nature. Grenade throwing, bayonet duels with blunted bayonets, and scored on a point system .obstacle races with military feats involved are only a few of the possibilities. Definite rules governing these new contests will be laid down by colle;late, scholastic and A. A. U. officials to standardize the new games. Many of the instructors who will be teaching these games after the war will be men who have seen service at the front as athletic instructors if not In the actual fighting forces. One can readily see how these instructors will put the well known potato races and similar games on the shelf and substitute a real live trench game. The wand drill undoubtedly will be retired. The bayonet drill will appeal more to young America. One can readily see how a variation of the wigwagging system now used by the signal corps could be used to advantage in place of the wand or dumbbell drill. The regulation army setting-up exercises undoubtedly will be used in gymnasiums universally. Military drills probably will be held in schools all over the country, too, even after the war. The boys like things military. These drills, with their attendant sham battles and marching will get the youngsters out into the open more. Summing it all up the inauguration of these military events will do much to increase interest in athletics. And good clean, wholesome sport for the coming generation is more vital than ever before In the nation's history. Catcher Art Wilson of the Boston Braves never startled the baseball world with his brilliancy. He just played a good, steady game and gave the club the best he had. Art's sort of an easy going gent. Along came the first registration for the draft. Art hadn't thought about his age for some time and when the day came to register Art got twist- j ed and thought he was just under 4lit. aha lrft ai1 rtf 4iief frcr a draft age. So he registered with his home board. A while ago he woke up to the fact that he was over thirty-one. Art went up to the board to tell them of his mistake. They thought possibly he might want the error remedied so he wouldn't stand a chance of being called. "Oh, let her go the way she Is if it's o. k. with you," said Art. "I'm no better than anyone else and if I'm called I'll go.' Which reminds us of Hank Gowdy, now an officer in the ga3 and flame division of the army. Hank was unknown until he bobbed up in the worlds series and proved the hero 'of the big games one season. Hank took his honors modestly. The applause failed to disturb the easy going Hank. They even say that when someone asked Gowdy what he was going -to do with his world series money he drawled:

no-3

"Well, I'm going to have a good j glass of beer, for one thing." j Hank was the first big leaguer to volunteer for service. Which goes to show that these easy going chaps we see in sport as well as in other walks of life, have just as much fire stored away in them as some of these temperamental creatures who continually kick up a fuss or the fellows who break into the limelight through their brilliancy. The good old "red white and blue" runs just as deep in the veins of the Gowdys and Wilsons as it does in the J other fellows. I

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, .TUDDD AY, AHOUOT 8Q,-1918. .

-:- COLLEGE FOOTBALL STILL UNSETTLED NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Reports from various college sport centers indicate an unsettled state of affairs so far as football dates are concerned when compared with a similar perioa of the season in normal years. In Dast autumns the openlne week of August has found the coaches and managers with the majority of their preliminary work finished and the can didates awaiting the call for practice. In sharp contrast, -the present month finds some of the colleges without football trainers or coaches and schedules with from two to five open dates while many others have yet to decide whether football will be played or not during the next three months. This is particularly true of several of the more important eastern institutions including Harvard, Yale and Princeton. While there are indications that football will be resumed and these universities represented on the gridiron by elevens, nothing definite has been announced by the athletic authorities. If the game is played by these three it is likely that it will be upon a restricted scale Those colleges which still support football and are annual opponents of Harvard, Princeton and Yale have prepared their schedules and unless there should be cancellations aong the line it is doubtful if many dates could be given the big teams so late in the season. It is presumed that should Princeton Yale, and Harvard decide to place teams upon the f eld this autumn they will meet in a sort of roundrrobin schedule as was in baseball and track athletics last spring. It has also been suggested that the elevens play only every other Saturday and if this innovation were adopted a few games with cantonment and service teams could easily fill out the curtailed schedule. The revival of the game by the big three may also have the effect of restoring the annual Army-Navy contest. Both Annapolis and West Point will support elevens this season and each has reserved an open date for such a match, providing the government authorities will sanction the game. Athlete Plans Tour of Country for War Fund (By Associated Prs CHICAGO, Aug. 21 James J. Corbett, former champion heavyweight pugilist, is planning the organization of two all-star teams of baseball players who don't have to work and have them tour the country in benefit games for war funds. He. has asked Christy Mathewson, and Ty Cobb to act as managers. Cobb, however, if he carries out his announced intention, will join the marines as soon as the baseball season ends.

It has built up my strength, and now I am feeling fine." S. E. Bunce. The reason Vinol was so successful in this boy's case, is because it contains beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese peptonates and glycerophosphates, the very elements needed to build up a weakened, rundown system, make rich, red blood and create strength.
