sIIss Destroyed by Allies.
London, March 23.-The latest In
formation from the Dardanelles sets
forth positively that only the second
ary defenses Of the straits have suf-
fered from the bombardment. The
outer forts are intact. This fact is
noted in the political situation in the
near east where the Balkan states are
no nearer Intervention in the quarrel
than they were when the battleships
Of the allies first appeared of the
Dardanelles.
Despite the optimistic tone Of the
Greek press it is not generally believed
the entente powers have made any ad-
vances to the new Greek cabinet, while
in Greek circles there is an uneasy
feeling that Bulgaria may again as
sert her supremacy IN Balkan affairs
by taking the first steps in actual par
ticipation IN the war.

Washington. March 23-President

Why JONES HASN'T
THE RECORD

The report that John Paul Jones
win attempt TO get into condition
and beat Taber's new record for the
mile run Is seriously doubted in the
east, for the reason that Jones is In
business. and running for records
and business do not seem to mix ad-
mirably.
Johnny Mack. the Yale coach and
trainer, thinks. however. that the
former Cornell distance star could
come back and set new record
Mack IL OF the opinion that Jones
has the mile In 4:10 in him. and
says that breaking training early In
the summer is the only thing that
kept John Paul from setting that rec
ord.
When Jones had his big season at
Cornell. his last year In school, he
did not keep on edge after the inter
collegiate meets were held. Seeking
record In May or early June Is
much different than going after such
. mark the middle of July. and had
Jones kept training until hot wealth
er. Mack believes the youth would
have succeeded in establishing the
record.

STADIUM
Grand Rapids Has Mu-
nicipal Sport Bug
Big Park Proposed

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 80.
A municipal baseball park idea
has been floating around this city
for some time, and II has been
growing. Now a municipal athletic
stadium for all sports Is proposed,
and is getting some strong backing.
The plan as originally presented
has been changed In some respects
and now the idea is to acquire a
suitable site and erect a stadium
with sufficient seating capacity for
conducting big events that would
draw from all parts OF the state. A
park big enough 10 seat $1,000 would
be about the size Grand Rapids
could support.
The league baseball games. high
school football, athletic meets and
independent contests and meets
would serve to maintain the park
alone and keep II in use the greater
part OF the year. Then, too. IL has
been suggested that the annual NJ.
IA lOObodI
be brought here every other year.
In Lansing there Is no suitable
place for playing this game and a
stadium here would be an admirable
solution to the problem.
Besides being adapted to these
various sports the stadium might
be used for the introduction OF the
boxing. game In Grand Rapids on
broader scale providing the present
antagonism toward the sport in ths
state Is overcome.
Before long the agitators for such
a stadium will map out a definite
campaign in an endeavor to give
Grand Rapids a splendid municipal
ly owned park by next year
