AMATEUR ATHLETES
HAVE THE BIG CALL
ENCOURAGEMENT ny MAYOR
HELPS MAKE THE YOUNGSTERS D.
BRAINS OF COMMUNITY.

With appropriations in the city
budget for athletics in the public
schools there should he a formidable
bunch Of baseball clubs this summer
representing the various schools.
The amateur athletic situation in
Richmond should be treated seriously
BY not only the business men but
the mothers.
Every one knows. or should know,
that the athletic youth is better fitted
to take up his studies day by day than
the lad who burfes himself in a Nor
ris chair and digs into Cicero or an
cient history or even geometry.
with Drawn and muscle the brain
cannot prevent itself growing
Therefore the efforts being made
now toward the development of the
youth Of the city. through the play
ground movement as we'll as the ath-
letic feature Of the schools and the
associations should receive all the en-
Coura cement that can be given by q
united local populace.
The part being taken in the physi-
cal development Of the youth Of the
city by the mayor, and many other
leading citizens is most oommenda-
bic. 1t shows that the older heads
know from experience and obserYa-
ton what is good for the youngster
In this connection it may be said,
also. that the work of physical Cul-
ture going on at the Young Women s.
Christian association. is one Of the
most commendable things imaginable.
The community Is made up Of
healthy people Physical culture in
both male and female youngsters Will
naturally. tend 10 create stronger ply
steal and mental conditions.
So it behooves the popul8ce To get
together and hand the local athletes
the very hearty glad hand, SO that in
the next generation we Iu8y have even
q stronger citizenship than we have
now.

the author of the measure was de-
Cidedly unreasonable In expecting

should first be presented as petition,
as Is done in other instances of this
kind. SO that Ii may go through the
proper channels and be duly consid-
cred by the proper committees. un-
der no circumstances he said, would
he support the paper in The shape in
which 1t was presented.
Mr. tTmlauf OF Clay opposed it on
the ground that the city needed the
money fer other more deserving pnr-
poses He cited the need of improv

of givins more aid 20 the tuberculosis
camp.
No Demand, Says Seaton.
Mr.. Seaton, of Clay, who has had
considerable experience on the cleo
tricity committee, declared in his
usual positive assertive manner that
there was in fact very little demand,
or even petition from the business
people for the lights in question. He
wanted the money for the schools and
other purposes of a more urgent ma
ture. Another who sounded a NOTE Of
opposition was Mr.. Powell. Of Lee.
who was sure that the lights were not
needed
Mr.. Radcliffe, OF Lee, spoke for the

Somewhere within the frozen Antarc-

the little relief ship Aurora Of the
Mawson expedition from the neigh
borhood OF Adele Land. received
here today, announces that deaths OF
two prominent members Of the Pro-
fessor Mawsons party. Lieutenant r.
Or. Herr the Swiss ski champion.
How the two met death the dispatch
does not state.
The Aurora, which is a sailing ship,
had gone TO bring out Dr. Mawson
and several of his men, who had left
the main party temporarily. Some
unfortunate circumstance, believed to
have been the sudden ciosing-in of the
Ice, prevented the explorers from re-
gaining the ship. tho message states,
and DR. Mawson and the six men with
him will winter on Adele Land. They
are well. according TO the report, and
have accomplished some important
explorations along the shores Of
expeditions
Both Wen Known.
Lieutenant MINIS belonged to the
City of London regiment, of the Royal
Eusiiiers. He was friend OF Cap
tain Lawrence Oates. of the Tnniskill'
ing Dragons, the British officer who
lost his life returning from the South
Pole with the Scott expedition. Ht
served the Mawson party as expert in
sledging and surveying,
DIR. Herr was hardly less well
known as a sportsman than as a
scientist. He won the Swiss ski cham
pionship in 1908, and his endurance
and experience in long Journeys over
snow and ice qualified him to act as
scientific aide TO the leader Of the
expedition.
The Aurora. with Or, Mawson or

member of both the Scott and Shack,

believed here that DR. Mawson. with
haff dozen men, landed and ven

they did not return N time TO regain
