These men, instead of taking the money earned by civilians who have enlisted to fight in the King's Army, should be made to put on the uniform and do their bit for the national defense, unless they can show good reason for not doing so. This is spring cleaning time and also spring planting time,. Taking advantage of every opportunity of the weather, the boys at the conval- escent homes are making a garden 80 that all through the summer months the returned soldiers will be supplied with fresh vegetables. The open air exercise is also of great as- sistance in building up the men's constitutions, 3 Lieut.-Col. W. J. Brown, General Staff Officer, M. D., No. 3, is expected to return from his inspection trip through the District on Saturday. Col. T. D. R. Hemming, D.0.C., has returned from Ottawa where he made an inspection of the 77th Bat- talion, Major Cameron, A. M. C., Peter- bore, was in the city on Thursday on a visit with Lieut.-Col. R. J. Gardin- ed by the Militia Department to the effect that proper supervision is not being given to the fitting of clothing etc., for troops. From England comes a report that in a large number of cases the jacket is so tight that the sweater coat cannot be worn beneath ~-consequently a new jacket has to be provided. It is pointed out that officers commanding C.E.F. units should take greater care and exer- cise greater supervision to the fitt- ing of jackets and to see that they are' large enough to permit of the sweater jacket being worn under- neath in comfort, Unless this su- pervision is actively carried out com- manding officers may find this cloth- ing charged back against their units. Here again there is lack of proper supervision in the fitting of the men; this is unquestionably the most im- portant duty of the company and Junior officers of a unit, Where a proper interest is taken in fitting men with boots, feet trouble is quite unknown, Every man enlisted should be fitted in the presence of an officer. In infantry units the ser- geant-shoemaker should also be pre- sent, Where this supervision 4s ex- ercized, there will be little com- plaints about boots. Upon investiga- tion, the vast majority of these com- plaints are due to lack of proper su. pervision on the first fitting of the men. This is strongly impressed on all officers commakpding units.

C. H. A, is in Montreal, The pro. hockeyists are keeping up their reputation in New York. A despatch regarding Wednesday night's match between Canadiens and Portland said: "The scrim- mages ended several times with the players locked in one another's arms and rolling around the ice. It took the police to pull them apart." Two more athletes have joined the colors in Harry Meeking, the Toron- to professional hockey player, and Russell Stephenson, who played for T.R. and A.A. a year ago. 'Both these boys have joined the signal corps, It is understood that the will of the late Robert Davies, Toronto, pro. vides for the disposal of the racing string carried on last season under the name of the Thorncliffe Stable, and that the horses will be offered at auction following the Woodbine meeting.

The train stopped, and he put out his bandaged head and saw a brand-new battalion of Terri- torials marching in fine array to- wards the front, "Are you dahn-hearted?' the Tommy shouted from his carriage, and all the regiment, from the col- onel down shouted back a gay and thunderous No!' The Tommy, as he drew his band- aged head in again, yelled: "Well, ye dashed soon will be when ye get in them trenches!" division and there is established a heavyweight section. Section 14 of the regulations is interesting in that it makes clear what action is allowed in what is commonly and erroneous- ly called a clinch. If a contestant has both hands free he is still entit- led to hit an opponent who is hang- ing on to him, Simply laying hold of a contestant does not constitute a clinch. This is the first time the rules 'have defined the situation on this point. The rules will be in ef- fect for the first time at the coming Canadian championship, and will then govern all amateur contests i the Dominion. . 'Rene Thomas, the French race driver, winner of the 1914 Indian- apolis 500-mile race, will not come to 'America to drive a Peugeot on thé speedway circuit this season, ac- cording to advices received from France. The Indianapolis speedway recently announced that Thomas had been granted a furlough by the French military authorities from March 25th to December 1. The reason for Thomas inability to come to this country is not known, but it is supposed that the French Govern- ment would not permit him to leave France. - That racing on the mile tracks in Montreal will open two days earlier than was originally scheduled was decided at a meeting of the directors of the Dorval Jockey Club, The dates originally announced for Dor- val were those from Monday, May 29th, to Monday, June 6th. This only gave the club one Saturday and the same occurs in the dates given them for the autumn meeting. The dates selected by the Dorval Club directors are from Saturday, May 27th, to Saturday, June 3, inclusive, which will, for the first time since the inception of the club, give it a meeting with two Saturdays. The club directors consider that they have had the short end of the dates since 'their inception and decided on advancing so as to get the second Saturday this seasom. Pluck and perseverence have achieved for Alma Richards, the Cor- nell athlete, wonderfu] success, not- withstanding that he had been quite 'unfortunate in the preparations for his competitions. ' During his ath- letic career Richards has sprained bis left leg four times and his right leg twice, Once he broke some of an accident that also dislocated his wrists. The first time Richards tried a high jump he broke his left ieg above the knee, and he then was advised to give up ethletics as his bones were too brittle. But Rich- ards stuck to athletics, and now ranks as one of the Sreacet alk athletes fn intercoll around "Richards won the igh mp in the 1912 Olympics, oly " captured the all-arou cham ahs ip in the A.

Jess Willard has outlined his atti- tude toward the fight game. It was in no way boastful or vainglorious manner that he said to an inter- viewer: "To my mind the fundamental principle of the game is self-defence, Is boxing not called the manly art of self-defence? I am only human. At times temper gets the better of me. Supposing 1 permitted myself to be swayed only by the blind passion of brute force. What then? "1 am endowed beyond the aver- ge man in ' physical ' advantages. There is not a ring rival that has my strength or weight. That is why there is no fair match in sight. If to be world's champion means that you have to play every shade of advan- tage to the full, then I have to be of very nature a bully and @ coward, and 1 want no title, People seem to lose sight of the defensive side en- tirely. -Why cannot they be fair? "Some big fellow like myself may arise within the next year or two, capable of forcing me to the limit of my powers of endurance and rer source. If so, those displeased with what they term my lack of fighting heart will see that they have judged wrongly. 1 would sooner be misun- derstood 100 times than to have to acknowledge to my innermost soul that my ring success had been achieved through bullying bravery, which is the highest form of innate cowardice," Jess Willard seems surest of the fight champions to retain his title for some time to come.
