This '(Continued from page 8.) The Whig has been making in- quiries from officers, engaged in widely different branches of mili- fary service as to their opinion of the red-coats that are now being worn by the probationary officers and N. C. Os attending the Infan- try School of Infantry. It came asa surprise that such a strenuous pro- test should be voiced. On every side was heard the expression: "It soab- solutely different from what is want- ed that I am surprised the militia authorities have not changed it long are a variety of reasons gi- ven as to the idea aimed at when the innovation was brought about. As this change was made in Ottawa no- thing official could be secured here, The general opinion was however that it was to curb this swanky spi- rit of provisional lieutenants in training, At the time the idea was to use the old out-of-date red coats because they are of no further value for troops in training or at the front and the immense quantities now on hand could eventually be .disposed of in this way. sacrificing his. civilian position of good money and comfort, enlisted in the ranks of an overseas unit becom- ing the "goat. It is very unfair. The men who go up to qualify should be and in the vast majority of cases are the pick of the battalion. They are chosen from 1,100 others be- cause of their peculiar fithess for a commissioned or N.C.O's rank and in their ability to lead men. One abso- lute necessity is a good education and in the interests of the battalion a commanding officer will only send to the school men who are clean cut, active fellows, who are in the game in earnest and want to promote them- selves to better positions, They are the kind that are wanted. Should these men be made to suf- fer? It does not seem right. True there is never a grouch from the pro- bationers themselves,' They are too much in earnest and spending too much of their time trying to grasp all of the mysteries that are con- stantly being explained wondering why scarlet, jackets have been issued to them.

One of the grontest tactical errors committed by the New York baseball club this season was submission to a playing schedule that gave the Giants ppears to be a grave mistake-- New York standpoint. The Giants, an eighth-place team last fall, did' not figure to extract much nour- ishiment out of eight games with the pennant winners right off the bat. Casting aside all "ifs and "buts" and elgnth inning alibis, the fact re- mains that the Phillies are in first place because five of their first seven games were with the Giants, By the same token, the fact remains that the Giants are in last place because five of their first six games were with It has resulted in the man, who, | to: bother! liant dress in any gathering of bro- | There is no economical advantage { He was through the | University of Toronto outside wing, | went to England, has been heard fram, | larly hot for the Germans on many | school has already been issued with khaki. He is an enlisted soldier in some overseas unit and as such has a uniform, Why make him lay off his khaki and wear the red and blue for six weeks? One suggestion somini from an old soldier is to the effect that the men doing fatigue work at the camp should be given these outfits al- though with a khaki outfit for in- spections and dress-parades. Last year under the camp sergeant major ihere were some thirty-five men un- fit for overseas service who did a wonderful amount of fatigue. work about the camp. This time was then given to overseas soldiers in train- ing to the front and worked out very satisfactorily, It would seem to be much better that these men should be given the red- coats 'etc, if they must be worn out by some one. If a distinctive uniform is to be given to the probationers a badge would seem to be quite as good. Some small badge for the arm could be is- sued. This could be worn on the men's own khaki uniform.

Montreal Gazette: Two more mem- bers of the famous McGill Rugby team of two years ago have enlisted and are now in khaki. Walter Jeff- rey, who created a sensation during his first year on the senior team as a flying wing, has become a member of the Royal Horse Artillery at Kingston, where he is now training. Clarke Brown, an Ottawa boy, who played om the wing line, has decid- ed to become a member of the Cana- dien Engineers, and will leave for Ottawa next week to qualify for a commission. Walter Jeffrey was born in Torento, and although his father and mother dare now residing |in Buffalo, he returned to Canada to {serve his country. Jeffrey's father | was a- member of the Lorne Rugby team of Toronto when they won the intermediate championship of the Dominion in 1896. With these two men enlisting it leaves but few of the champion team of two years ago who are not in khaki. | Ottawa Free Press: Frank Shaugh- nessy in discussing public school base- ball with George Church, of Creigh- ton school, predicted the present crop of youngsters would blossom out as very proficient players when they reached a state of maturity. In play- ing the game 50 young, the kids will develop "arms," something in which present day crop of city leaguers are lacking. Shag claims the knee pants brigade he has lamped around town have all the antics of big leaguers and declares further the time is not far distant when Ottawa won't have to go very far from home for ball players. Last year Shaugh- nessy assisted the public school ath- letic authorities in modifying a dia- niond to meet the requirements of the youths. The distances between bases are er, so that the kids will not ae to make throws that will over-tax their young whips.

Br World of Sport In the past the game has been al- lowed to languish in the schools, the boys devoting more time to baseball, This may be the fault of the Cana- dian Amateur Lacrosse Association, an organization which is supposed to but does not promote and foster the game in accordance with the princi- ples set forth in the constitption. More attention by this organization to the juvenile element of the Dom- inion and we would have more lac- rosse and brighter prospects in the future. In addition to moving for cleaner lacrosse and the eliminating of all deliberate stick-checking about the arms and body, the Ottawa Lacrosse Club will suggest at the next meet- ing of the National Union that the substitute rule be amended and that change 'be permitted only in the ev- ent of injuries to players. It has been talked over by the Ottawa di- rectors, and they were unanimous in deciding that if possible to have the other clubs agree, a return should be made to the old system. The Ot- tawas claim that bigger clubs reap the advantage of frequent changes, and that visiting teams are forced to double their traveling expenses by carrying many extra players, few of whom are ever used. The, Hockey Club officers, who are identified with the lacrosse enter- prise, say that the National Hockey Association adopted six-man hockey with a view of cutting down expen- ges, 'but that the advent of substi- tutes and the necessity of Carrying such large squads, had the opposite effect, with the result that operating} expenses were almost doubled. It is understood that the Cornwall club is also favorable to the Ottawa sugges- tions, The locals are desirous of having a meeting of the league in order to straighten things out and clear the decks for action. : /The active recruiting for the sportsman's company to be attached to the Irish-Cenadian Rangers now being recruited under Lieut.-Col.
