Why Is She Refused? The Toronto Telegram 'says: Is there any good reason why Miss Durack, Australia's champion: wo- man swimmer, isn't competing in this country, and if so, what is it? Many followers of the aquatic sport. are keen to see her perform, to see how compares with the fine women swimmers of this country, and most of them never had a clear idea of the trouble that has kept her idle so far.

Among the many things broug : about by the war is the interndti interest which has been aroused - American- sports. The most recent victim of the baseball germ appar- ently is Maly. Football, as played by Amerdcan teams, as well as base- ball, has taken hold of the popular interest in Italy. One of the most Influential sport journals of Italy, the Gazette dello Sport, is now ralsing a fund for the purpose of buying baseballs, bats and footballs and the distribution of prizes among soldiers to stimulate competition. The newspapers pub- lish a letter from General Pennella, commander of the second Italian army, in which he says that base- ball and football games are of in- estimable value in the training for war. He praises the initiative of the Gazette dello Sport, and says he believes the stimulation of baseball and football competition among the various units of the Italian army will have the most gratifying and impontant results in maintaining the morale of the troops. The Itallan newspaper also says that General Pennella is especially pleased with baseball as an aid to training and the maintenance of the morale of the troops. "I look upon this form -of sport," General Pen- nella is quoted as saying, "as an in- tegral part of military training. Sol- ace and diversion are especially ne- cessary -in trench warfare. . During the! inevitable lulls in this kind of warfare the morale of the men is likely to suffer, and they need the kind of recredtion that will chase away * gloom and stimulate the sport. "Sports and games take out of-a man the moral and physical kinks contracted in the trenches. I con- sider it a matter of vital importance to the nation that interest in sport be stimulated not only in the army, but also among the civilian popula: tion." Japanese - Tennis Star Returns. Ichiyva Kumagae, the leading ten- nis player of Japan, has sailed for the United States, according to advices received in New York, and will com- pete in the national championship tournaments next month, Kumagae, who was ranked fifth among the United States players at the close of the 1916 season, defeat- ed a number of the ranking experts during his previous invasion, and his appearance in titular play again will add international interest to the championship matches, scheduled to be held late in August.

If baseball is declared hon-ess tial' by Provost Marshal Gen Crowder, the managers and players not within the draft age need not worry about finding a suitable posi- tion until the war ends as the Knights of Columbus. have enough secretary jobs open to accommodate all the men thrown out of employ- ment. but baseball. Men like Manager Mec- Graw of the Giants, Connie Mack of the Athletics, Ed, Barrow of the Red Sox, Christy Mathewson, and others equally famons diamond men, would be of immense service to the boys over there. The Knights of Columbus intend to have 2,000 men acting as secre- taries by the first of next year. Johnny Evers, the Cubs' great sec- ond-baseman, is the first of the fa- mous diamond men to sign up as sec- 1etary abroad for the K. of C. Anything that the baseball stars and managers do for the Knights of Columbus they are doing 'for their country.
