There will be three-quarters of a million dollars each month put into the pockets of Kingston merchants and citizens through having Barrie fleld camp of over 10,000 soldiers during the summer months. This money finds its way indirectly to ev- ery person in the community, and people should not forget this fact when speaking of Barriefield camp and its advantages to the city. In plain language the effect is immense. The expense of maintaining the bat- talions in Military District No. 3 now averages about $900,000 a month now. Recruits are coming in every day to the different units and within a month after the camp opens each of the battalions is expected to be up to full strength of 1,153 men. The addition of the 1,600 men need- ed to bring these battalions up to strength will 'certainly boost the to- tal expenditure up to the six zero mark. A very conservative esti- mate would be that Shigo-quarters of this amount is re-spent in the city in filling the needs and luxuries of the khaki-clad boys. A rumor on the streets of Ottawa was to the effect that certain battal- ions in Canada would soon be broken up and divided into reinforcements for other battalions which had been successful in recruiting a reasonable number of men in the time allotted. Inquiries show that this could cer- taiuly aot apply to Military District No. 3. The battalions in this dis- trict all total well over 800 men, and most of them have reached the 1,000 mark, which under the cir- cumstances can only be highly satis- factory to the powers that be, If other parts of Canada have not done their part, this district certainly has. This is shown by the résults present- ed every two weeks to the country in which Military District No. 3 always comes at the top or near the top of the list. Capt. "Nick" Bawlf, paymaster 164th Battalion, was in the city on Monday. The examination papers of the School of Signalling are now in Ot- tawa for the final checking before the results are issued. It is expected that these will be released in a few days. The next School of course will commence about the first week after Barriefield camp opens. It will take a few days he- fore the battalion commanders will get straightened around enough to be able to select what men they wish to select for the school. Signalling Lieut. R. J. Graham, 34th Bat- tery, Belleville, was in the city on Monday. Lieut.-Col. W. J. Brown, G.8.0., Ma- jor H. R. Wilson, D.A.A., and Q. M. G. C., were in Belleville on Setur- day evening at the farewell to the 80th Battalion. ~ George Girvin and W. H. Shep-| hard have enlisted in the 146th Bat- talion. Pte. T. W. Baker has been ap- pointed a sergeant in the 146th Bat- talion. The new depot batteries number ing 72nd, 73rd, 74th and 75th, to replace those of the 13th Brigade-- 50th, 51at. 62nd and 63rd--which are going to Petawawa camp, will tol be formed immediately the brigade leaves for the northern eamp. The list of officers has been drawn up, and the appointments are expected to be made in the near future. The four new batteries will respectively re- Place the four of the new 13th brig- ade. Lieut.-Col. C. A. Low was in Na- panee on Monday evening, and ad- dressed the Napanee council on the fact that more men were needed by the 146th Battalion. He expressed in an interview to the Whig the sug- gestion that the Board of Trade, City Council and Speakers' Patriotic League of Kington should get busy in the interests of the battalion's need of men, Ploughing and seeding furloughs may be extended for a period of fif- teen days wherever circumstances warrant it. Sergt. R. Ralph, AMC, is de- tailed for duty as sergeant in charge of the Sir Sandford Fleming Home, Ottawa, vice Sergt. Lazenby. The Engineers are working stren- uously on the final arrangements for Barriefield camp. New buildings are suddenly appearing in all direc- tions, and the camp lines are being laid out finally. All of the buildings will not be completed by Saturday next, but tents will<fis, used for the few days dui ing which time the work is being completed. From this date until the 146th Bat- talion is mobilized in camp passas will not be issued to men except for very urgent reasons which must be communicated direct to headquar- | ters before a pass will be given. Lieut.-Col. W. J. Brown, Military District No. 3, Belleville on Saturday. G.8.0. proceeded to The list of officers of Barriefield camp staff has been submitted to ™ D. Col. R. Hemming, D.O.C., ---- Fourteen batters in the Interna- tional League are hitting .400 or bet- ter. Danny Hoffman, the veteran Am- erican leaguer and former New York State leaguer, has signed to play for Neil Ball's Bridgeport Club in the Eastern League. As to "preparedness," there is the chap who buys a raincoat because Trotter's baseball season opens. The Detroit American League Baseball Club has announced the re- lease of Catcher Ray McKee to To- ronto Internationls, and Infielder George Maisel to Montreal. Rumors have it that Pitcher Rube Benton is to be released by the New York club. The erratic pitcher has not been able to accomplish much so far this summer. George Burns, of the New York Giants, is regarded as the best throw- ing outfielder in the National League. They say Burns can pick 'em off from any part of the field. Harry Hooper is now leading off for the Boston Red Sox. He has becn doing sensational work, and the batting streaks of Hooper and Lewis have nearly offset the loss of Speak- er. Hans Wagner's fielding has alarm- ed Pittsburg baseball followers this season. The 'veteran shortstop is hitting the ball harder than ever, but, he cannot cover the ground he used to, and already his errors have toss ed two games away. The annual rumors about Christy Matheson taking a managerial berth in the National League are floating about. He is said to have heen of- fered one. "'Matty" and his mana- gers state emphatically that he will remain with the Giants at least for this summer, The will of the late "Glad" Mur-| Wi phy was filed last week at Toronto. It had been made on January 65th, when hope of saving his life had been abandoned, being scribbled on a piece of paper in St. Michael's hos- pital, where Murphy suffered for sev- eral months after his accident in the Sawin Argonaut football game. comprised a balance of Hy G8 a the Glad Murphy bene- Ottawa, and as soon as the approval is received the camp will officially i who has been suspended by the Dur- ham club of the North Carolina League. Brown has admitted that his real name is Labate. Manager Birmingham of the Leafs says he was tipped off to go after Labate, and now he is glad that he passed him up. George Smith, the champion Ca- nadian two-year-old of a year ago, landed the historic Kentucky Derby on Saturday, but his margin was only a neck over the English importation, Star Hawk. The later, although de- feated, looks to be the better horse of the two, and on his race certainly looks like a high-class individual, and the one to beat in the Latonia Derby, the distance of which'is a mile and a half. The disappointment of the Derby on Saturday was the showing of the Whitney pair. The race show- ed, though, that George Smith and Star Hawk stood out by themselves. Either Freddie Welsh or his man- ager, Harry Pollok, must appear be- fore the Wisconsin Boxing Commis- sion and answer the charge of alleg- ed violation of the rule prohibiting fighters from using intoxicating li- quorg or the champion may be barred permanently from the Wisconsin ring. The Englishman will also be ask- ed to explain why he kept the crowd waiting thirty minutes before he ap- peared to fight Ever Hammer, of Chi- cago. Pollok, in a letter to the com- mission, denies that Welsh "took anything" during. his bout with Hammer. The club charged Freddie with us- ing an alcoholic stimulant during the fight. Three of the greatest managers In the major leagues are graduates of the old pennant-winning Baltimore Orioles, and pupils and disciples of Ned Hanlon. When Hanlon's Bal- timore Birds won the National league 'in 1894, 1895, and 1896, John J. McGraw covered third base. Hughie Jennings was shortstop and ilbert Robinson was the mainstay behind the bat. It was by adopting the methods taught them by Ned Hanlon that M w and Jennings built up flag-grabbing machines.

Up to the time that such approval is received there is nothing official of the fact that there is even such a place as Barriefield, It has been brought to notice that in some cases soldiers of the C.

It is published that the 199th Bat- talion (Irish Rangers) has been granted authority to recruit Irish Catholies throughout Military Dis- triet No. 3 Major H. R.- Wilson, D.A.A. and Q. M. G. Military District No. 3, proceeded to Belleville on Saturday. "Retreat" for the ensuing week will be sounded at 7.40 p.m. Peterboro Review: The Sports- en's Association is arranging for a ig military celebration on Wednes- day, May 24th, as it is understood that the '93rd Battalion will not re- calve orders to leave for Barriefield fore that date. Gen, Sir Sam ughes will be in Lindsay to review he 109th Battalion on the after. noon of the 24th, and an effort is be- ing made to have Sir Sam visit Pe- terboro in the morning and review the 93rd.

Gill is transferred to the 5th (Kings- ton) Battery, 9th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery. Lieut, E. T. Sterne is seconded Munitions Board. Capt. W. J. McManus, 6th D. C. O. Rifles, Vancouver, B.C., was in the city on Monday, and may be on the camp staff during the summer. He has had extensive experience in in- structional work. It was the dinner hour, and the workmen were having the usual heated discusison about the war. An interesting deadlock had been reach- ed when one of the men turned to a mate who had remained silent dur- ing the whole of the debate. * Ere, Bill," he said, '"'you're pretty good at an argument, Wot's your opin- fon" "I ain't goin' to say," return- ed Bill "I thrashed the matter out before with Bob Jones." "Ah!" said the other, "and what did you arrive at?" "Well," replied Bill, "Bob, 'e arrived at. the orspital, an' ques-{ wers of | guls 'allace | I arrived at the police station." In the World of Sport there are few infielders who can take his place, even if he is old enough to be the father of many who are in the game. Larry was 41 last Septem- ber, and, like Wagner, who Is about six months older, they are the young- est old pair'in the game. It was in 1897 that Wagner broke into the majors; and from then until 1910, that many of the present-day players started, and of these only a few are still in the game. Of all the players who have started since La- Joie began until the end of 1910 but 103 men remain. Manager Ed. Savage of the Port- land team cleared up the Stanley Cup situation yesterday, when he said that the Patterson Cup, emblematic of the Pacific Coast championship, and not the Stanley Cup, had been brought to Portland. Savage says too much red tape was connected with bringing it out of Canada, such as insurance, bond, ete., and it was left with Frank Patrick, president of the Coast League, - at Vancouver. Patrick promised Savage about ten days ago that he would send the cup east, and that it would be consigned to Chairman Foran 'of the Stanley trustees at Ottawa. Captain Tilinghast. of New York, has taken a stand against the present early openings of the baseball sea- son. The Yankee owner suggests that the baseballing begin along about April 26th instead of around the 12th, as at present. "But I wouldn't advocate a de- crease in the number of games play- ed." sald Huston. "By opening the season on the 26th it would mean cutting off 14 playing days. Those games could be worked in by having double headers each week, say on Monday or Friday. "Past experience has shown that it is foolhardy to start the season be- fore the middle of April. I cannot recall one year when the weather during early and middle April was baseball weather. It either has rained or snowed or been too cold. That has meant many postpone ments. Even on days when the teams have been able to play the at- tendance has been reduced to a bare handful because the fans do hot wish to risk pneumonia." There are several other magnates in the big leagues who share Hus- ton's views.
