C. A., are from all walks of life. There has been at different times students, lawyers, doctors and professional men of all kinds, but one of the most prominent in this way is Gunner Skeene, now at Tete de Pont barracks. Gunner Skeene has had nine years of experience as an actor-manager, and has been with some of the best actors and actresses on the American continent and in England. The. Oliver Morosco Company pro- duce a number of plays by a stock company in their theatre at Los An- geles, California, and Gunner Skeene for several seasons was stage mana- ger of this theatre. During this time Peg O' My Heart, Bird of Para- dise, and many others of equal note were first tried out. For' ten weeks he was with the Lombardy Opera Company which toured Mexico. The Ticktock Man of Oz, with stars such as Morton and Moore and Greenwood and Grant, also had hig services. This is the man who will be stage manager of the big cabaret that is being produced by * Battery, R.C.H.A., in the City Hall on Wed- nesday night next to raise funds for the men of the battery at Petawawa camp during the summer. This battery has been acting as a depot through which 1,300 men have passed, and yet until now not one appeal has beer made to the citi- zens for money to secure those things that so brighten a soldier's life. Ev- ery one should buy tickets. Those who do buy tickets and at- tend may be sure that they will se- cure their money's worth in any event, as under such very able man- agement the vaudeville end is bound to be a huge success. When the Royal School of Artil- lery closes the present course next week it will be the last course in some time, possibly until next win- ter. There is at present an im- mense surplus of officers both in England and Canada for the junior positions, and no more of these will be needed until many new batteries are formed or there are more casu- alties in the ranks of those on the firing line. Lieut.-Col. @. Roy, commandant of the school, will of course he commandant of Petawawa camp for the summer, and the in- structors are to be used with the dif- ferent batteries. The new plan at the Provisional School of Infantry seems to be working out very successfully, Al- ready a number of men have been returned to their units, and in every case the training that they received while at the school has greatly in- creased their usefulness tp their bat- talion commanders. The school, it is expected, will be enlarged at Bar- riefield. It looks as if there will be some »800d hard artillery work performed Porn en at Petawawa camp this year by the local and the other batteries which will go there for training under the very excellent supervision of Lieut.- Cok G.' Roy, commandant. Col. Roy has had a wide experience in artillery | training, and with the added advan- tage 'of having four brigades compet- ing against each other to work with, the results should be highly satisfac- tory. The men now confidently ex- pect that they will go overseas before the end of the summer, and after a short training in England, go to the front. With a few months at Petawawa each battery receiving instruction from a Royal School of Artillery in. structor, the 13th Kingston Brigade should be one of the best of the Cana- dian Expeditionary Force.- In every one of the batteries great care has been taken in the selection of the best | men for the work, and the result has been a highly proficient and energetic class, who take pride in what their battery is doing and are willing to do their very best to make theirs the best of any. | Great care is taken by Col. T. D. R | Hemming, D.0O.C., that every man who is- enough of a man to offer his ser- | vices to the Empire will be used in| some capacity if he is in reasonably | €00d health and can do certain kinds| of work There will be at the camp this year a fatigue party of possibly 150 men who will do guard duty, police duty, ete, which otherwise would have to] be done by eligible men. The men | for this work will be chosen from those who have been rejected for overseas service, but who wish to dc something to assist the country in the great struggle. i A medical board will gO over ev- ery man in uniform at the camp, and | those who are considered as unfit for the strenuous training necessary to prepare them for the work in France will be turned over to the fatigue party and given that duty, so that they will still be able to return home and say that they have done their bit, and they should receive every con- sideration for so doing. Major J. Hamilton is having a structure built at Barriefield camp for the baking section of the Army Service Corps. The mixing depart- ment last year was in a tent, and great chances are taken with this! work being done practically in the open air and the resulting quick changes in temperature. To insure | bread for the men in the camp the baking section will be given the best equipment possible, and in return the. very best of results will be ex- pected. A, Hargraft, G. Marsh and J. T Crawford have been accepted as re- cruits to ""C" Battery, R. C. H. A. Already Capt, BE. Ww, Henderson, commanding No.5, F. C. C.

Sam McVey and Joe Jeanette 'of the colored league will play another game of the dark brown series at New Orleans on Saturday night ov- er the 20-innings route, Cobb is the greatest all-round play- er in the game to-day, but his broth- er, Paul, is not good enough ffor Class C. released by the Terra Haute club, "Tim™ Jordan, former Toronto first baseman will be with Bingham- ton in the New York State League again this year, having signed a con- tract yesterday. Miss Gladys Palmer, of Oak Park, IIL, a co-ed at the University of Wis- consin, yesterday threw a , baseball 217 feet 6 inches, surpassing the in- tercollegiate record fop the event by 14 feet 6 inches. The former rec. ord was held by a Vassar co-ed. Hal Chase, of Cineinnati, is the real leader of the Nationdl Raseball League. In 3% times at bat he had a percentage of 435. And they said that guy had lost his eye? a wise move when Charlie Herzog signed up the trouble-making Hal. The amusement Same in Canada this year is going to suffer tremen- dous loss in. the way of Dominion's finances drain upon its exchequer .for war's necessities have compelled the Gov- ernment to seek revenue from every Quarter. All sorts of amusements are being subjected to heavy tax. Horse racing is one pastime that will have to yield a large slice of its pro- fits to the Government. Canadian racetracks have made big profits in the past, no doubt, because the "port of kings" is certainly deeply Tooted in the hearts of all Canadians, but this year there will be a material reduction in the profit column. --- * At the summer encampment for]: the winner of oval vided with a varied programme of run "Tom" Longboat, his old rival at | Brothers do not all make good in| baseball, like the two Covaleskies, Ty | | company, and was recently | 2 for 25¢, It was | a taxation, be- | cause the unsettled condition of the Ps and the heavy | will parade in Odessa and solicit re- { poral Ward and ten picked men will | their work a constant supply of the very best of | be constructed and the buildings for the administrative staffs may be er- ected, The Whig has been complimented for voicing the suggestion that the causeway should be used for pedes- trians between Barriefield and the city during the summer months, It has been suggested that in addition to the proposition to use the cause- way an auxiliary foot-path should be along the temporary bridge. This could easily be ptu in without the ad- dition of piles by having a bracket from the north edge extended over to give four, five or six feet of a foot- path, This would be used in the daytime when work was in progress at the opening in the causeway, and in the evening the great bulk of ped- estrians could use the causeway. The heaviest traffic is after 4.30 in the afternoon. 4 ; -- The bugle band of the 146th Bat- talion went to Odessa on. Friday un- der Sergt. Bugler Lammerman.

It is expected. that the total of 200 will be secured right in the city. In an interview Col. Low said that the county had done exceptionally well, but the city has fallen down so far. As a concession Col. Low has decid- ed that any men who sign up will be allowed, if they care to, to remain at until the opening 'of camp. " The committee in charge of the ar- rangements for the Victoria Day cele- bration. being run under the aus- pices of the 146th Battalion, had an interview with=Col. T. D. R. Hem- ming, D.0.C., on Friday, and request- ed that a military parade be held. The B. O.

Lieut.-Col. . F. C. Arnoldi, com- manding 13th Kingston Artillery Brigade, and Major E. C. Barrett, commanding 51st Battery, are in To- ronto over the week-end. "I'll give a pound for every Ger- man killed," shouted the enthusias- tic'young sub, as he gave orders for the charge. Two unfortunate Irishmen left behind after the assault. "Just let me slape awhile. Kick me when the Boches come again," said one. The kick soon came gs the Ger- mans counter-attacked. "How many are there, Mike?" was the anxious enquiry. 'About thirty thousand."

At a nominal charge of five or ten | cents the enlisted men will be pro- | athletic entertainment without leav- | ing camp.

Ottawa Journal: the former Queen's, Argo, Alert and Tiger foothal] star, has gone to join the many other prominent Canadian athletes who have gone down battle in the defence of the Country's cause, "Tout" as he was | called for years, was one of Cana-| da's best football players, He first | came into prominence at Queen's University and the last year there | played sensational rugby. The last | game that he ever played against Varsity was on the Rosedale grounds at Toronto, He didn't have much of a team in front of him, and Var-| sity had their opponents on the de-{ fensive most of the game. If the ball was kicked over Queen's goal to Leckie once during the afternoon it was sent over fifty times. He did hot make one fumble during the fame, and on numerous occasions he Was successful in running the. ball out through a host of Varsity tack- lers. It was with much the same &0od work that he helped Alerts win the Dominion championship from Ar- gos in 1912, "Tout" Leckie, Mother | Commenting 'on John McGraw's trouble with Umpire Klem in Boston last week, the Boston Post says: "After McGraw had been put out af the game by Umpire Klem, the Giant manager lay in wait for the umpire. In the presence of a number of per- sons he assailed Klem in unprintable language. Klem ignored the attack until McGraw made a slurring ref- erence to a close relative of the um- pire. Klem in wild rage leaped at McGraw." This is an old triek of McGraw and his players. A Pitts- burg writer recalls distinctly an in- cident which occurred a number of years ago at the Polo Grounds. The Pirates and Giants werbypiaying a double-header, Joe M unity and game, and Pittsburg won. Clark picked Pat Flaherty, a gentlemanly little fellow, to pitch the second game. McGin- nity was through for the day. Just as Flaherty went to the mound for the start of the game McGraw sent McGinnity out to "talk" fo Pat. Joe started off rather wildly, and Pat laughed at him. Then McGinnity made a reference to Pat's parents, Which turned the little Irishman in a moment into a fighting demon. He sprang at McGinnity"s throat in a rage,' his face purple, and muscle working in fury. Bransfield in | MONUMENTS !
