The End of Man

1t is reassuring that both Professor
Chamberlin, sponsor of the planetesi-
NAL theory of the creation, and. Prof.
Perciva1 Lowell, who scouts il, agree
that the expected collision of this
planet with some other star will not
occur within about billion of years.
says the New York Times. But Doctor
Lowell thinks the globe is gradually
shrinking and freezing, while Doctor
Chamberlin is not yet persuaded that
the human race will be eXtinguished
in this frigid way. He admits, in the
latest issue of Science. that Greenland,
Spitzbergen and the other arctic isles
must once have been subtropically
warm
But some millions of years ago
maptles of ice covered tropical India,
Austria, southern Africa and South
America, close to the present torrid
zone. This was only half way back
in the record of life on the planet,
which leads Doctor Chamberlin to con-
clude that the earth has not. gradually
cooled during the ages, but has, rather,
submitted to merely temporary local
lied intensifications of climate" which
life has repeatedly survived. Besides,
in all quarters of the globe there have
been fewer epochs of glaciation than
of aridity.
from such profound cllmatlc aIterna-
tions Doctor Chamberlin infers that
there have been concurrent variations
in the earth's atmosphere BY volcanic
action and otherwise the earth adds to
the constituents of the air, while the
ocean keeps its gases in equilibrium
but the principal changes come, prob
ably, from the interchanging MOLE
cular activities of the terrestrial and
solar atmospheres." These are usually
well balanced, nevertheless geologic
history shows that in past aeons they
have shifted over vast areas, destroy
ing races though not destroying life
Thus, doomsday loses it's boisterous
terrors Not by a world confla grafton
or the shock of colliding spheres but
by "the deadly unbalancing of agencies
of the quiet sort will come, if it ever
comes, the. extinction of man on this
EARTH.

ROVfRS REFUSE
TO PLAY BURNS
Clash Over Allotment of Games
and Gate Receipts Splits
Soccer League
By BOB SHAND

The executive committee of the AL
bion Rovers yesterday afternoon re-
fused to alIew the team to take the
field against the Burns, in the first
round of the soccer cup competition,
which was scheduled to be played at
the Preside grounds. The game went
to the Burns by default, and the action
of the Rovers' mana cement will be in
yestgated by the association at a spe
cial meeting to be held Friday even
ing AS a result of the fiasco, Jesse
Moore, who has acted as the secretary
of the Royers for eight years, last night
wrote his resignation and severed all
connection with the Oakland club.
ISSUED ULTIMATUM
The Rovers have been at outs with
the California football association for
the last two weeks, the cause being the
allotment of the games and the division
/ of the gate receipts.
A communication was sent to the as
Sociation last week which was in the
nature of an ultimatum. The Oakland
team demanded that half the games be
played in Alameda county and that the
gate receipts be divided among the COM
peting clubs, deducting only the neces-
sary expenses of the association. This
communication was not received by the
secretary of the association until Fri
day and il was then too late to call a
special meeting.
REFUSE To PLAY
The Rovers stated that undess their
demands We're acceded to there would
be no game Sunday. When Secretary
Moore of the Rovers realized that the
time was too short to get the delegates
together, he ordered his players to re-
port at the grounds and await the de-
cision of the clubs executive. The
management held a meeting on the field
and ordered the players to refuse to
take part in the game.
The Burns team played a picked
eleven in order not to disappoint the
crowd. The Scots won by two goals to
nothing.
The Barbarians "A" team and the
Olympic club met on the Alameda
grounds, under the auspices of the
Western league and. after more than
two hours playing, the score was tied
at apiece. The referees watch stop
ped during the second half and the
lads played 40 minutes overtime. 1t
was not until they were ready to drop
from exhaustion that the official arbi-
traitor consented to call a halt.

HIGH STANDARD SET

Capital City League Is One
of the Strongest Organi-

The standard OF play in the Capital
City League to date is ample proof
for the statement that this Organiza-
ton is one of the strongest gotten to-
gether in Washington in many a day.
One-sided games have been so far
unknown to the circuit. and from all
appearances the teams are more even
y matched than in any season since
the organization Of the league.
Midway, the one team that expert
enced trouble in rounding into shape,
seems TO have reached its stride. BY
defeating st. Stephens yesterday, this
team climbed into fourth place. The
manager has been adding new ma
tertal and disposing Of dead timber, of
late, and from now on expects his team
to be a factor in the race.
