'(Continued trom page 8.) Headquarters moved from the Armouries on Tuesday afternoon the Commandant moving over about 4 p.m. The Armouries is now com- pletely vacant, the 146th Battalion having evacuated on Monday, The quartermasters stores of the 146th Battalion are being kept open at the Armouries' for a few days so that no confusion will result in the bringing of the stores of the soldiers into the city and over to the camp. It 'is mot yet' possible to estimate the number of automobiles that will be engaged in. the transportation of soldiers between the city and the camp but a large number have al- ready been passed by Col. G. Hunter Oglivie. The traffic on the hill and road will certainly be very heavy and unless the regulations are closely fol- lowed accidents are sure to result. On the whole the regulations are considered entirely satistactory by the automobile drivers and no trou- ble is anticipated. Barriefield camp is now in "full working order" with over 1,600 men already under canvass and waiting to give a proper reception to the re- maining battalions which will be coming in every day from now un- til the last of the month. The head- quarters staff is well established in the old Administration Building and an annex that is rapidly being com- pleted by the contractors Campbell and Wright who certainly deserve great credit for the speed which they have shown in making the er- ection. The building is large enough to accommdate all of the headquar- ters staff now without undue crowd- ing. A few days ago there was the con- stant click of typewriters at the Armouries in the city. . Those type- writers are now working overtime grinding out letters at Barriefield camp, The fifteen girls who form what they call the 'Headquarters Staff Social Circle' drive over from the city every morning and return at night. Two large automobiles take cpre of this transportation, The announcement of the choice of officers for Barriefield camp staff -------------- In The Connaught Park Jockey Club has decided to change the name of the Capital Stake to the Chateau Laurier Handicap. Entries to the events to be run at the Ottawa meet- ing will close on Saturday, May 27th. Ezra Midkiff, manager of the Louisville American association team last year and former infielder for the New York Americans, has signed to play with the Huntington, Ohio State league team. A report has been started in Cleveland that the Indians may buy Pitcher Walter Johnson from Wash- ington. This, of course, is denied by Clark Griffith, manager of the Washington team. The British middleweight cham- pion pugilist, Pat O'Keefe, lost his match with Bandsman Blake at the National Sporting Club, London, Had O'Keefe won he would have gained thereby a peusion of one pound a week for life, Pitcher Beebe has come to terms with the Bisons, and is schedulsd to report th's week. It is said that Bill Clymer, of the Louisville club, was trying to secure Beebe, amd the latter has been trying all Spring to Steure his release from the Buffalo club, Melbourne Australasian:--Today the Victoria Racing Club announced that the next Melbourne Cup Stake would be cut down from 8,000 to 7,- 000 sovs., and the Maribyrnong Plate from 2,000 to 1,600 sovs., The Victoria Racing Club is doing this not with the view of saving money, but that the stakes, in view of the decision of the Government to ecut down race meetings, shall be better distributed, In the National League batting re- cords the most astonishing statistical occurrence of the past week has been the phenomenal rise of Bill Me- Kechnie, the Giant third baseman, who has raised his average 88 per- Figuring the averages up fo Friday, May 12, McKechnie was hitting for a total of only .196, His work esti- mated up to Friday, May 19, yields the creditable total of .284, Curve ball pitching, the thing that drove Jim Thrope out of the Nation- al league, is no longer a dread to the us Indian athlete. He has over- come his inability to meet the ben- ders squarely and is hitting at a 280 rate with the Brewers in the American association. Besides, he is well to the front. in long hits and is 'the association base stealers aud is playing a-fast game in the Arnold Rothstein of New York 'the purchaser $30,000 a s made their the top, Rothstein centage points during this interval. -- "oh ¥ In 1914 when the Boston |. us race | H: 5 Jost heavily.

Currie. assistant to Capt. Swaine seems a wise choice. Lieut. J. Bews is too well known in the city as physical director of Queen's University to need any in- troduction to Ki and his past reputation in physical develop ment is proof of the fact that the soldiers at Barriefield will be well trained in this branch of the work. Every possible precaun must be taken by all ranks agafnst the out- break of fire. Special orders for the government of troops under their command, in case of fire, must be published by all commanding officers immediately on their arrival in camp and must be thoroughly under- stood by all ranks. In the case of a bush fire breaking out on Government property it is the duty of any troops noticing it to sus- pend training or operations and put out the fire, reporting it to Camp Headquarters at the very earliest opportunity, Troops are forbidden to use water from wells or springs for drinking purposes unless the water is mark- ed as being fit to drink. All ranks are cautioned as to the necessity of guarding against waste of water. All faucets must be left tightly closed. N.C.0.'s and men attending of instruction must be struck off all regimental duties during the period the school is in progress. hood "All ranks at Barriefield camp must be shaved by breakfast time daily." The field officer of the day will accompany the camp commandant on his daily tour of inspection and will report to camp headquarters for this purpose at 9.30 a.m,, daily ex- cept Sunday.

C. Flanagan, Director! of Physical Training for the military | district which comprises some 42,- 000 troeps, plans to have Sir Wil- frid's autograph engraved on the presentation cup, 'which is to be competed for by regiments. Have Cleveland cracked under the strain? The Indians have lost three games in a row, which is noth- ing out of the ordinary, but for the fact that in each of the trip the other team has come from behind to beat them out, aml in two of the games the Clevelanders have had one ex- ceedingly bad inning. At Washing- ton on Saturday Washington scored seven runs in one inning, while at Philadelphia yesterday the Athletics scored six runs in one inning. How- ever, Hughey Jennings, of Detroit, is the first American League manager to announce that the Indians have a chance for the pennant. Some man- agers point out that it is Cleveland's young pitchers 'Whe are holding up the Indians, but Jennings says that neither Willie Mitchell nor Ed Klep- fer, two seasoned pitchers, have been called upon to do little work to date. - Hannes Kohlemainen, the Irish- American Athletic Club's champion distance runner, failed by a few in- ches to win for the fourth time to- day New York's modified Marathon of 12% miles distance, The race was won by a countryman of Koh- lemaipen, Villar Kyronen, running in the colors of the Millrose Athletic Clubl/of this city. For the last four miles of the race these two Finnish runners were abreast, at no time be- ing more than inches apart until they turned into the City Hall Park, fifty yards from the finish. Both made a sprint to the finish, but Kyronen was quicker and beat out the champion by about six inches. The time of the winmer was 1 hour 9 minutes 10 1-5 seconds. Mandarin, the winner of the King's plate of 1918, is indeed royally bred, His grand dam was born in the Royal Mews of the late King Edward at Sandringham. Chinka was the dam of Royal China, both being im- ported by Edmund Haines, the well known Owen Sound buyer for Mr Seagram, The King was looking over his horses along with a Jani Shaperon ed by trainer Marsh, Marsh reatly fancied the mare and the King, hearing her ex of | bered by many friends in the 1915 | { camp as being the sérgeant major of | building used as a store-room at the camp is forbidden.

Officer: "But he won't bite you." { Recruit: "No sir, but I'm afraid j he will burn his feet." ~ the Word of Sport is your property." The mare was duly transferred, and. the next year in Mr. Marsh's own stables she foaled Royal China. Mr, Haines, on looking over the re- nowned trainer's stud, selected Chinka and the weanling for Mr. Seagram. That was twelve years ago. At Waterloo Royal China was bred to the President's own stallion, Havoe. The colt was Mandarin, Every once in a while we hear of a fighting parson, but most of them are phoney. In the middle west, how- ever, is a sample of thé real article unless some press agent is slipping something over on us: Pierce Mat- thews is a pugilist who knocked out Paddy Kelly at St. Louis the other night. Matthews wanted to be an evangelist, and last winter attended a theological school in Chicago, so we are told. He says he views pro- fessional fisticuffs as a legitimate test of skill, strength and endur- ance, ahd perhaps necessary to the continuation - of his studies. If Pierce continues to knock 'em stiff while studying for the ministry, he surely should have a small portion of punch in his sermons, A New York writer says: "The main reasons why the Yankees are not out in front is that the veteran hurlers have been faltering and the batting has been spasmodic. The worst disappointment thus far has been the wan stickwork of Lee Magee, who, with Frank Baker and "Fritz" Maisel, was expected to sup- ply the punch to the Yankee offen- sive. Magee isn't hitting his weight, and, what is more discouraging, there doesn't appear to be any in- dication of improvement. Lee's mace work in the White Sox and Cleveland series was particularly pallid. Four other regulars---Magee, Pipp, Maisel and Peck--are hitting .220, and Frank Baker still is sev- eral degrees below his normal stan- dard. Although "Les" Nunamaker's average isn't anything to / enthuse over, the hits he has mulated to date have been timely, novan's tribesmen, however, have shown that they possess a lot of dtrength, and if the stickwork improves and the pitchers can hold their own against the advancing Western foes they should be able to win many games." As the result of a peculiar hit in the fourth inning of the second game at the Island Stadium Saturday the Toronto club has entered a protest with President Barrow, asking that the game be replayed on the occasion of the visit of the Richmond club to this city. The game was won by Richmond in the twelfth inning bto 4 In the fourth inning, with Angel Arragon, the Cuban second baseman of the Virgiilans. on third base and Roche at bat, ing in and Roche endeavored to com- lete his end of the play, but foul- pped the ball.
