IS TEACHING POLES BASEBALL

Dartmouth's interest in Slav affairs and the introduction of courses in Russian are proofs of wisdom according to E. P. Kelly '06, who is engaged in Y. M. C. A. work in Warsaw, Poland. In a recent letter to President Hopkins, Kelly told of his trip across Germany to Poland in charge of ten carloads of athletic goods and canteen supplies for the Poles.

Kelly is teaching Polish soldiers to play baseball.

"Our hut is an example of Americanism to the 15,000 Polish troops here", he wrote. "I am developing an athletic field with chief attention to mass athletics and games. We laid out a baseball diamond the first thing. Mr. Hugh Gibson, the American ambassador, pitched the first ball in the first game, and General Petitdimanche, the French commander, knocked a good hit out between first and second."
