Capt. G. I. Campbell, chaplain o! the. 146th Battalion and Lieut W. A. Mouck are working earnestly and steadily to bring the battalion up to the full strength mark of 1153. They have secured the assistance of several picked men of the battalion who are daily engaged in presuading prospective recruits that it is their duty to enlist. Depots have been es- teblished in a tent on the market square and in two places on Prin- cess street, one next to Rodgers jewelry store and another opposite the Grapd Opera House. Since Wed- nesday last eighteen men signed up and all but two were able to pass the medical officer. The School of Signalling under Major D. E. Mundell, commandant, will open for the next course at for the season's work. The sergeants' mess of the 146th Battalion was opened on Friday with Lieut.-Col. C, A. Low in attend- ance. The mess is a splendid one, with expert chefs in attendance, As a token of appreciation of the splendid work done by Q.M.S. Boss, the officers of the 80th Belleville Battalion sent bim a valuable wrist watch from Hamilton, Q.M.S. Boss gave several lectures to the officers oh military subjects, The buildings at Barriefield camp are going ahead steadily in spite of the fact that labor is scarce. Lieut.- @el. C. J. Burritt, C.R.C.E,, and his staff are very busy attending to the many details that are constantly arising but nothing but compli- mentary remarks about them can be said. Campbell and Wright who are doing the work on the Administra- tion building annex and on other buildings throughout the camp are doing good work and will soon have Barriefleld camp as soon as all of the | units are under canvass 'and settled Central Registry, Headquarters staff, . road clobe-to the boundary fence are the sites of the 93rd, 109th, 130th, 136th and 139th.

Stoves must be extinguished before the occupants retire for the night, Lieut. Crochitiére, Montreal, is in chage of the Canadian Postal Corps detachment at Barriefield, and with his staff will be responsible for the handling of the mail for the 9,000 soldiers. The farmers who own cows now grazing on Barriefield commons should either take them off or in some way. prevent them from stray- ing into the camp lines, A story is told in the camp that last year an officer ate his own lambs which had been commandeered by some soldiers when found running through the camp lines, "Tommy," in Egypt (having taken his first stroll into the desert, three miles from barracks): "The tide 'aint 'arf gone out, 'asnt it?"

The mea- companies and other institutions of that character and common carriers transmit them. The development of baseball from its origin in 1839 to the present high state of the game has been the work of many men, but few intro- duced more innovations than Dickey Pearce, the famous shortstop of the celebrated Brooklyn Atlantics of the 60's. Friday was the semi-centen- nial of Dickey's most noteworthy contribution to the pastime, for it on May 25, 1866, according to the ancient dope, that he made use of the bunt hit. Up to that time there had been little progress in batting as a' sel , and the sole end and aim of the sluggers was to land on the-pellet with =ll their strength. The bunt took the baseball world by surprise. Most of the players sneer- ed at the idea when it was first brought to their attention, but the bunt soon became a recognized part of play, and it marked the beginning lof heady batting. Dickey Pearce didn't rest his whole claim for im- mortality on the bunt, but deyeloped a lot of other Ingenious notions, some of which were successful and were incorporated into the game, while others depended largely upon | the element of surprise, and could be used only once against any club with any considerablé chance of sue- cess. Dickey was the first man to drop a fly in order to make a double play, and he was also the inventor of the fair foul hit, The Southern League has broken The Brooklyn Club has sent Out- | fielder Larry Miller to WinRipeg in| fielder | Dave Hickman (Hicks) to New Hav-| Hick- | man is the ex-Fed who was going; In addition to winning his third | Urban Shocker, the former Ottawa pitcher, | last Saturday | A bill barring from interstate com- | merce race trac' bets, lottery tickets | actions was passed upon favorably | the Interstate Commerce Com-! away from the old rule which pro-| hibits double-headers 'yntil after the first swing around the circuit.

There is no more §ieriaining amusement than a trip through the country on a bicycle. It is fine exercise, and in- vigorating. It requires skill and sometimes. nerve, to ride a bike. There are occasional hardships, too, but the returns in good health, are well worth the inconveniences one must expect. A plentiful supply of money is not-needed to enjoy bicycling. It is one of the cheapest, still one of the most enjoyable, of sports. Its re- turn to popularity is deserved, London Daily Mail:--Verdun does not appear to be engaging all of the Crown Prince's attention.

I The league executive declared that it was illegal for the umpire on that occasion to allow the winning run to score on a foul tip on an attempt- ed squeeze play when the ball lodged under the catcher's chest proctector, and dropped to the ground a few sec- onds later. The game is to be play- ed at Toronto on August 28th, The Toronto Leafs have not shown much class in their first series on the home grounds, chiefly because of the pitching staff. Bad weather ham- pered the twilers considerably, but it was the same all over the circuit, and the visiting clubs usually show- ed a much superior brand of pitch ing than the Toronto twirlers. The tonly bright spot has been the exceed- ingly goed work of Urban Shocker, the former Ottawa twirler, who was south with the New York Highlan- ders. Shocker gives every promise of becoming a star; he has a most puzzling spit ball and good speed, with a movement towards first base that baffiés the most expert base- runner. "Lefty" McTigue has pitch- ed fairly consistent ball and is the best of the veterans. Outside of Shocker and McTigue, the Leafs have practically nothing in a pitching sense. ! is offering more liberal terms for the f western lands for such 'Hon. R. H.
