Over the Top in Sports
Continued from page thee
German athletes and their soldiers !s»
inferior to that which has been adopt
ed by the Americans, the English and
later by tht French followers of sporu
For the American and the English the
sports of boxing, baseball, cricket,
handball, tennis and other games have
a tendency to cultivate speed, activ
ity and accuracy. They make men
quick on their feet, quick of hand, and
true of eye. Take the sports in which
the Germans delight, and they tend
to make a man slow, cumbersome ana
muscle bound. The Germans are proud
of their weight lifters and strong men,
whose muscles are big and stand out
in great bunches. But in all their no
tions these German athletes are of the
cart-horse variety. Often so slow that
they can hardly get out of their own
way. Go into the gymnasiums or visit
the vaudeville theaters where a bunch
of German athletes are training and
exhibiting and see how slow and pon
derous they are in their movements.
True enough, they seem to be able to
lift anything they can get hold of.
They strain and tussle with big
weights until their very veins would
appear to be bursting under the ef
fort. They lift each other and often
one big fellow will lift and carry sev
eral other men apparently as big a&
himself all around the floor. But it is
a slow and clumsy performance.
Contrast this with the speed and
hitting power of a couple of boxer*.
Men who are much lighter than the
sturdy weight-lifters, but who can hit
a blow that would knock one of the
muscle-bound Samsons into dream
land quicker than the Latter could get
his hands up to defend himself, ana
then it will be seen why it is that a.
man trained after the. manner of tha
American or the English boxer or ath
lete is more than a match in a hand-
The Fable of the Suspicious Orderly
Now it happened in the Main Building of the Place, which the Same
was called Headquarters, a Certain Private, ycept Breen, was on Duty, one
cold Wednesday night.
Being stirred by the Pangs of n. post-prandial Hunger, he set forth to
the Booth where Provender was on sale, a Place called The. Canteen by
many. Here ho purchased a Rare Delicacy known as Cake. Wishing,
plcure, that he was, to save this Cake against the Moment when the edge
of his Hunger should be of the keenest Keenness, t.hta he might enjoy it
the more, he bald It By.
But he had long known the Ways of the Sergeant Majors of Headquar
ters, and fearing that it would be eaten by Them, he hid the Cake. And
the Place that he picked wherein to Secrete the Tidbit was the Stove in
the Sanctum of the High Commander of the Order of the Bright Star, a
Brigadier General, known In the Land as Edwards.
Now the General’s Aide de Camp, a Subaltern named Evans, with two
Fellow Officers, happened along that way. And feeling the Chill, they
threw into the Stove bits of Paper and Kindling, and applying a Lucifer,
Created a Blaze. Soon the Atmosphere was permeated with Delicious
Odors, like unto the Ones that were wont ’o float through Homes in ths
Land on the Great Feast Day of Thanksgiving, when Turkeys and Pump
kin Pies and Plum Puddings and other Goodies were Slaughtered to ap
pease the appetites of the Inhabitants.
Now Orderly Breen, coming again to the Building after Completing an
Errand, smelled the Rich Fragrance issuing from the Inner Sanctum, and
Hurried to the Enerance thereof. Timidly knocking, he was hade Enter.
There he found the Three Officers basking in the Warth of the pot-bel
lied Stove, which by this Time had assumed a Cherry-red hue.
"Sire, didst light the firse in the Stove?” Ho Asked.
"Aye,” answered the tallest of the three, who was none other than
Leftonunt Evans.
"Ser, sire—-very good.’ ‘said the crest-fallen Orderly, as he saluted,
and turinng to the Right-About, he loft The Place.
MORAL: Always trust your soldier comrades. They may eat
the cake, but saving you a crumb, you may have It too. But that
which is burned is gone forever.
P. S.— On hearing The Tale of the Suspicious Orderly and the Account
contained therein of the Disaster to the Cached Cake, the Aide to the Gen
eral dispatched a Courier with the Wherewithal to purchase, not one cake,
but Two, which were given to Breen, The Private.
I.oule Kaplan, hearing this, spake to The Orderly, advising him to
Try It. Again, as it was "Good Business.” Selah!

FOCH PLAYS GOLF.
Os course more than one golfer has
suspected what now comes to light, i.
e.. that Marshal Foch, leader of the
Allied forces, is a golf enthusiast.. Such
is the information conveyed by Henry
Leach, in the Illustrated Sporting anq
Dramatic News. Incidental to this in
teresting bit of information about the
Frenchman whose name is on the
world’s tongue these days, Mr. Leach
casually mentions that golf is one 01
the chief recreations of Sir Douglas
Haig and of Admiral Beatty.
REAL WORLD'S SERIES WITH ALL

PROMOTES GAME.
The American Y. M. C. A. and K. of
C. are the biggest agencies for pro
moting baseball in France, although
the other American warfare agencie*
are doing their share. They supply the
material to the Yankee soldiers, have
assigned some of their best physical
directors to help the British Tommies
learn the tine points and are now pre
pared to give similar aid to the
French poilus.
native of St. Louis. He was educated
in the public schools of that city and
at University of Missouri and at
Washington University at St. Louis,
and was up until his assoclat'on with
War Welfare Work connected in New
, York with the concern of Harris &
■ Nathan, Inc. He entered the service
: of the J. W. B. on January 1, 19111,
i and his first assignment was at Chat
tanooga, Tenn., where he was placed
. in charge of the work at Chickamauga
i Pari; anil Camp Greenleaf. He was
then.called to-the National offices to
a t iii’reorganizing the. ti. 1-1 work.
. In August lie came to Camp Hancock
i as headworker. Under his direction
the J. W. B. camp building was com
i pleted, and the work both In camp ano
i in town reorganized on a more exten
sive scale, and the staff was increased
i from three to seven secretaries. It is
. largely due to his ability and energy
that Camp Hancock work has taken
high rask and is receiving important
consideration at the National offices.
Mr. Harris has also been very active

ward for the interests of the men
while under the quarantine. Mr. Har
ris is one of the most popular men in
camp and in town and has made many
friends both among the men, among
the other welfare agencies, and among
the townspeople. All his friends join
in extending to him their heartiest
congratulations and hope to see him
very successful in the active service
of his country. The partial lifting ot
the quarantine made it possible, to
hold last Friday evening an open-ait
Sabbath service on the porch of the
J. W. B. building, the first public ser
vice held since the quarantine restric
tions. Rabbi L. Spitz made remarks
on the splendid service the boys of
the Medical Detachment had rendered
during the epidemic and took pride in
the fact that an appreciable number
of those self-sacrificing men were ot
the Jewish faith. He paid a tribute
to the memory of Samuel Levenberg,
of the Medical Detachment who pass
ed away recently in "line of dqty.”
Morris Clark, the musical director,
officiated as cantor, and Mr. Jacob
Faller was formally introduced to the
men. Mr. Harris, the heatlworker, hao
been expected to take formal leave
from the m-n on that occasion, but he
was placed under military quarantine
along with the other "rookies" ana
was compelled to absent himself. The
men cheered enthusiastically for him.
The services will be continued regu

way to create, and to preserve the Sab
bath holiday spirit during the entire
evening.

of current topics will be started im
mediately after the quarantine is lift
ed. The musical director Is also plan
ning for setting aside Saturday eve
ning as the practice night for com
munity singing of Jewish and tradi
tional melodies. Al! men interested

Community Chorus. The following an
nouncements are made, provisionally
