MULLEN . Princess and Clergy Sts. (Continued from page 8.) Theres is very little doubt but that, if weather conditions are favorable, the battalions coming to Barriefleld | camp shortly after the first of May] will come here by road, the route marches being made directly from their present stations, It would be a splendid training for both the offi- cers and men of the battalions and taken with reasonable rests would and | not be tiring. This would mean that there would be troops arriving who had marched from Peterboro, Lindsay, Perth, Port Hope, Cobourg, Cornwall, Bel- leville, and Brockville. The suggestion is now being work. ed out and the hundreds of different details that would arise are being planned for. ' It would be big move, but with the organization of Military District No. 3 could, in the opinion of qualified officers, be easily accom- plished. The soldiers who will be camped at Barriefield camp this year will be given a training that will if they are in camps a sufficient length of time, enable them to leave Canada and go directly into the trenches. To answer the. call for drafts, should they be asked for unexpected- ly from any of the ten battalions at the camp, from the very first day the soldiers will start on foot-drill, squad drill, trench fighting etc. Lieut.-Col. W. J. Brown, General Staff Officer, hopes that every man in the camp will receive a much further advanc- ed training than the elementary work. It is now being planned to make night-work a big part of the programme. Practically all the im- portant moves that are taken by the soldiers in France and Flanders now when near the firing line, are taken at night, This is done to prevent the immense casualties that would result should any big movement be attempted in the day-light hours. The soldiers at the camp will receive instruction in the occupying and the relieving of other men in the tren- ches, outposts, advance guard rear guard and flank guard tactics and all such work that would be necessary to perform in the training of men for the battle front of trench war- fare. During these night attacks and "workouts", flares, rockets, and the men their use, Hand grenades will also form a part of the work as this branch is proving § Yery important. Some part of the. training time will be taken up with instruction in the 'building of dug-outs, trenches and shelters of all ings, There will be atl least seven differ- ent schools running for the duration of Barriefield camp. The Infantry Shoo) of Iustruction will be engag- the ng of bationary ficers and N.C.O's, Vrhere will also be thre School of Signalling which has been carrying on such splendid work here during the winter, The school of Musketry, School of Cookery, School of Machine Gunnery, Equita- tion 1 and School of Bayonet Fighting and Physical Drill will all 'be carried on. In this connection it was suggest- ed to the Whig that the lady steno- graphers might attend the School of Cookery. The 146th Battalion is "broke". This is the plainest statement of an all too true fact. Lieut.-Col. C. A. Low, commanding officer, has been holding recruiting meetings and us- ing every known device in the way of advertising the need for men and he has used up the money that has been paid into the battalion fund by sub- | scriptions, on Thursday night was held first to entertain the men of the battalion and secondly to raise money for the carrying on of the recruiting cam- paign to a successful conclusion so that the 146th Battalion could march into Barriefield camp at full strength The colonel has secured 900 of the 1.153 men for the 146th but it-will still need a lot of hard work, time and money to bring in 300 more to the fold. Considering the fact that a great many Kingston merchants have be- nefited to the extent of thousands of dollars by military contracts and the sale of goods to the soldiers, it was to be expected that the colonel would | be financed for his recruiting cam- paign. Such has not' been the case however, and except for $500 from the city, a similar amount from the Federal Government and a few other subscriptions, not one of which was large enough to be satisfactory, the fund has never been at any time fully | other devices, likely to be used by | equal to the demand. an enemy, will be employed to give | a thorough grounding in| It has been calculated that every man distributes $60 a month to the community, This means that King- The assault-at-arms held { | ston has been receiving almost $20,- 000 a month since Nov. It costs at least $5 on an average for reeruit- Ing a man or a total of $5,000 for a battalion, Lieut. Col. F, & Ferguson, 146th Battalion, is recruiting for the bat- talion through the 8 country, Capt. J. M. 'Wilson, Assistant Dir ector of Dental Services, who will be in charge of the dental work for the camp, expects to have ten dentists and a quartermaster busy all season. The 146th Battalion under Major Gray and the signallers attending the School of Signalling took a route march out the front road on Thurs- day afternoon. Col. T. D. R, Hemming, D. 0. C. was in Belleville on Thursday after- noon inspecting the 80th Battalion, Lieut.-Col. G. H. Gillespie, was in Peterboro on Thursday afternoon. Major H. R. Wilson, D. A A, and Q. M. G., is trying to find a soldier capable of filling one of the most im- portant positions at the camp--that of camp sergeant major. The posi- tion should be filled by a man old in military experience, Capt. J. C. Bonnycastle, Bowman- ville and Lieut, Girven, Ottawa will proceed overseas in the immediate future to the Dental Corps, Recruiting for the 146th Battalion has suddently quieted down and Lieut.<Col. C, A. Low announced on Thursday that he had not attested a recruit in a week, Pte. H, D. McDonnell has been transferred from the 180th Battalion to the 146th Battalion. Lieut, J. M. Phelan, 80th Battal- fon, was in the city on Thursday. The ground floor of the Kingston Armouries, will be reserved for the use of St. Mary's School Cadet Corps between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. on Friday evenings. Mike (who was in the trenches): "I woke up last night with the feel-' ing that my wrist watch was gone.' Pat: "Well, was it gone?" Mike: "No; but it was going." ait The Boston series between Wan- derbrs and Quebec was a frost, net- ting each team only $103, A triple schedule will be played by the teams in the N. L. U. this sea- son, which will open about May 20th. / The néw plan of the United States Golf Association, to limit the list of entries for the amateur champion- ship next September to 400, has been announced. President J. J. McCaffrey, of /the Toronto Baseball Club, recently re- ceived an appeal from an inmate of the Illinois State Prison at Joliet for a donation of bats and balls. The New. York Americans have enough players for three ball teams, and Manager Birmingham, of the Toronto Leafs, expects to land a few of them before the end of the week. The Toronto Lacrosse League will be revived if the efforts of a number of men interested in the national pas- time do not go astray, Both Nationals and Shamrocks will no doubt secure the services of a number of last year's M, A, A. A. players. "Newsy" Lalonde will again lead the Nationals, An international battle is on for Easter Monday in London. Young Rosuer, flyweight champion of America, is to meet Jimmy Wilde, title holder of England. It is stated that the shares of the Wanderers and Quebec hockey teams, respectively, of the money ta- ken in at the 'post-season's Boston games amounted to $136 for each. The Winnipeg Kennel Club's bench show to be held in May is ex- pected to be one of the biggest ever seen in Western Canada. R. A. Ross of Montreal will be the judge. The question of suspending, for '| the present season, the Canadian Ca- noe Association regatta, will be dis- cussed at the annual meeting of the Canadian Canoe Association, which takes place in Ottawa the first Satur- day in May. Snes John B. McLean, former catcher on the Cincinnati and New York Na- tional League Clubs, has acquired the franchise of the New Haven Club, of the Eastern Baseball League. The price paid is given as $9,000. Two brothers, Fred. Davis and Dr. Andy Davies, Ottawa, have enlisted, the former with the Fourth Battalion Pioneers, and the latter is seeking a commission in the 207th. Both are well known footbalMsts, and played last year with the Ottawas. The official closing of the English football season on April 30th will a large number of nals whose contracts will .ex- with their various clubs, when a ! further strong rally to the colors will be made. Pantages, of vaudeville fame, is said to be the man interested with the Patricks in the proposed launch- ing of professional hockey at San Francisco. He has looked into it, and hopes to have a team next year. Despondent because of his physi- cal condition and because he killed a negro in making an arrest, Edward Hohnhorst, aged thirty, former Na- Sonal League and -8t. Louis Federal Legge ball player, committed sui- cide by shooting him at Cincinnati. Mrs. Amelia Barr, the novelist, says: "The present day young women take too active a part in athletics. For girls to play golf, tennis and other games that rightfully - are men's sports is outrageous." Ban Johnson, president of the American Baseball League is said to have engineered the deal, by which Tris Speaker went to Cleveland, re- fusing to allow any of the stronger clubs to bid for the Boston star. The Brampton Lacrosse Club will again play in the senior series of the Ouatario Amateur Lacrosse League, of which they were winners fast year. Several of theif players en- listed and there will be several va- cancies in the ranks; -- Toronto Globe: Of all the "in flux" of amateur talent that was promised for the National Hockey Association last winter, Arbour of the Canadiens was the only one to come through, and he was an O, H. A. junior from Victoria Harbor. Official time of the run-getting in the opening games were kept at baseball headquarters, and a Canad- ian had the honor of scoring the first run of the season. *"Glad" Graney, the St. Thomas boy, did the trick for Cleveland. The Indians though couldn't stand prosperity, and their run-getting ended there. The first of the King's Plate can- didates to arrive at Woodbine from outside points is John Peel, which came from Hamilton, in charge of Bert McDonald. He is a son of Mar- timas and The Lintle, and was bred at the Valley Farm. He was raced by Sir John Hendrie and was a win- nef at two years old, but unsuccess- ful in his three-year-old career for the King's Guineas. He is now own- ed by G. McIntyre, of Hamilton, At a meeting of the western La- dies" Hockey Club it was decided not to enter the proposed Ladies Base- ball League. The team may play a few exhibition matches with an- other local club. The Westerns decided to have a swimming club, and most of the members will take part in the aquat- 1c sport, No baseball season ever had such glorious prospects as the present one. The signing of the Cincinnati Puce treaty passed the Federals of existence, and Organized Ball is pro-| now left to do larger business thas ever. Financial conditions are bet ter Dow than they ever were across for a long period of years. In the World of Sport the border, which means a lot to amusement, magnates, The progress of the New York|{ Americans, under Donovan's man- agement, will be watched with keen interest by baseball fans eevrywhere this season, not only because of Don- ovan's personal popularity, but also because of the genuine and pains- taking efforts which have been made by him with the generous aid of Messrs. Ruppert and Huston, the new owners of the franchise. Mon- treal fans will watch particularly the work of Frapk Gilhoolay, Tris Speaker, ranked with Ty Cobb ae the greatest of all outfielders, who was sold by the Boston Red Sox to the Cleveland Club, has an enviable record with the bat, Since 1908, when he joined the Red Sox, he has failed only once to hit over the .300 mark, and that was in his first year. His best season was 1912, when he reached the remarkable. total of 383. Last year he dropped off to 322, ' The Toronto Sportsmens Battal- ion has a grand chance to win. the famous Boston Marathon next week. Thanks to the generosity of Jacob Cohen, J. P., thé sportsmen are able ito send down Corporal "Jim' Cork- ery for the big race. Mr. Cohen presented the sportsmen with $100 toward Corkery's expense and he is going down In charge of Capt, El- wood A. Hughes, who handled him when he won the English Marathon in 1912. The runner's physical condition will be looked after by Corporal Tommy Daly, Toronto Mail-Empire: If the Unit- ed States immigration officer that turned back Billy Fitzgerald at Nia- gara Falls on Tuesday had heard all the uncomplimentary remarks said about him yesterday he would cer- tainly ask for a transfer to Mexico. Fitzgerald was on his way to Hobart College, Geneva, N.Y,, where he was to coach their lacrosse team again. = in addition to being one of the greatest lacrosse Jace that Canada ever produced, is a thorough- bred through and through, If such things are going to happen, why it's time a little reciprocity was used, and some of these cheap actresses and bad ball players kept from set- ug foot in the Land of the Maple Lea While no one can venture to pre- dict when Hans Wagner will plas his last ball game, it is a pretty good guess that Nap Lajoie will retire af- ter the coming season, for his nine- thousand-dollar contract will expire at the end of the 1916 campaign, and he will not be likely to aceept a cut or take the management of some minor league club. Lajole is a player who has enjoyed a big salary He has managed his income well and prob ably is better fixed than any other player now Wi ful if Lajoie has' drawn more than Hans in the last ten years or so. ouf| But Hans is a more agile player that THE CIGAR THAT E THE 5c FAMOUS ° Eh ° | Kingston'sElectric Store Let us light your home with electricity, while | your carpets are up.
