According to reports from abroad, the enthusiasm of the American and Canadian soldiers for baseball has hegun to have its influence on the British Tommy, and in purely Brit- ish camps through England, baseball was the spring craze this year. At {the front alsa, injrest camps and training quartérs the British privates are taking to the American national game, The 'principal limitation is the difficulty of obtaining the neces- sary equipment. 'American baseball has this advantage over cricket and football," says a British correspon- dent at the front, "namely, that it can be played on fairly ground." Another correspondent notes with some surprise that the game as played by the Americans and Canadians is accomplished with a good deal of noise. 1 don't know whether Tommy will adopt the bar- racking methods, which seem to be essential accompaniment of baseball from the American and Canadian point of view," he says, "but if he does, he will probably out do his comrades from across the Atlantic in noise and fervor." STAR BASE STEALER. Is Close to Record With Season Half Finished. Max Carey, /Pittsburg's star out- fielder, and one of the best in the game, must have taken a new lease of life, judging from the manner in which he ig stealing bases.in the National League this season If he is not careful he probably will es- tablish a reeord for thefts. He is running the bases as he never has run them before. Carey has been with the Pirates for eight years, and if he manages to beat any mark that has been re- gistered in that time it will not be saying a great deal for the present catchers in the league It is a cer- tainty he is not growing faster every year. It may be attributed to the scarcity of fast, accurate throw- ers in the ranks, yet one hesitates to blame the backstops when names like Killefer, Wingo, Gonzales, Me- Carty, . Rairidon, Burns, Adams, Miller, Wilson, Henry Allen and Archer are considered. These men are all blessed with strong arms. Still they are not stopping Carey. His thefts may be laid to the lack of efficient twirlers who can force him to hug the initial bag closely. Many of the good pitchers have gone, and, as a consequence, those who are still in the league do not watch him closely enough. To date Carey has stolen forty- one bases and the season is not half finished. If he can steal the same number from now until the finish of the season he will have establish- ed a new record-----that is, the best that has been done in the league in nine years. The high 'mark was set in 1911 by the speedy Bob Bescher, who was then with the Cincifmasi rough | -- e Word Of Sport IS BREEDING ESSENTIAL ? ; SOME FADDISTS SAY "NO." ¢ The Weekly Dispatch, of London, England, has been accused of pub- lishing from to time articles calcu- lated to injure horse racing-and horse breeding. It invited Leo Hapward, the well-known English commission agent, to put the case for racing in war time. He sent the following: | "When it is éonsidered that the members of the war cabinet, after first imposing severe restrictions on horse racing in England, and then stopping it altogether for a time, found that their drastic action could only end in killing the 'highly im- portant industry of horse breeding which had already been badly crippled by the great reduction in thé number of race meetings--what did they do? "They listened to the representations of the War Office, the Board of Agriculture and the Jockey Club, and they sanctioned the continuation of racing, if only to a limited extent, despite the un- der current of protest by all kinds of faddists. "These last cared nothing that the supply of home-bred horses for army depended entirely upon horse racing, or that without the supreme test of the race course to earmark the horses and mares which were worthiest to breed from, the breed- ing industry would infallibly fall to. speedy decay, with the rest that the world<wide fame of the Bri- tish thoroughbred would utterly fade away. Everyone interested in the thoroughbred is so well aware of this that the opposition to horse racing is really incomprehensible. * 'The 'thoroughbred in an enor- mous national asset to the United Kingdom, for it is to us that the stud masters of all other nations have come to buy horses and mares, regardless of expense, for over a century. France, Germany, Aus- tria-Hungary, Russia, the United States, South America, Spain, Haly, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, China, and Japan, in addition to our own great colonies, have all dipped deep- ly into their pockets in order to buy horses from wus with which to im- prove 'their own breeds. Many thousands of pounds have been giv- en on mahy occasions for a single stallion' bred in these islands, and wherever our horses and mares have gone they have donq incaloul- able good, improving not only the seed but the staying power and gameness and endurance of the breeds of horses ing the lands of their exile." gy AA, A A A AA Reds. He was one of the fastest players in the game, on the bases as well as in the field the National League for three years, starting with 1910, in which year he stole seventy bases. In 1913 he was credited with sixty-seven.
