POSTPONE MEETING
National League Conelave for Jan
uary Is Indefinitely Called OFF

NEW YORK. Dec. Announcement
has been made by John Heydler secre-
tary OF the National League, that the
reeonvened annual meeting Of the Ma
tional League. scheduled for Cincinnati.
January 4. has been indefinitely post
poned.
The general impression in baseball
circles is that the meeting between the
National Commission and the Federal
League Peace Committee, called for Gin
cinnati, January 3, may hold over for
several days, so as to make January A
unsuitable for the National League
meeting.
It is believed the officers of the Ma
tional League will wait until the Fed
eral League players have been appor-
toned and all peace details Strengthened
out before reeonyening the annual meet
ing.

Although he goes about his work
very quietly, Andrew Malpass,
president of the Wanderers f. c.,
is exceedingly active in local
amateur soccer circles. For the
last five years he has been boost
ing the game, and has done some
very efficient work. The high
standing of the Wanderers team
in the Allied League at the pres
ent time is greatly due to his
efforts, and nothing less than the
championship will satisfy him.

him to play for every point.
This defensive play must depend on
steadiness, not speed or brilliancy.
The greatest examples of purely de-
fensive play around this part of the coun-
try arc Stanley Pearson, Norman Swayne
and Stanley Rogers. Equally as good de-
fensively, yet with n much more dan
gerous attack. and this is the reason they
are so much better, are Wallace Johnson
Joe Armstrong and William j. Clothier
These latter three men can play defen-
sively with a judgment not possible to
the first three because they have the
ability to start forceful attack at any
moment and can choose their time 10 do
it, while Pearson, Swayne and Rogers
have not the attack to use. Thus the
defensive play of Johnson, Armstrong

the news of the straits forced, their

FOREIGN TRAVEL CHANGES

The largest number of people
taken out of New York, bound for
Europe, on any one day this spring,
sailed today on five liners; but it is
carefully explained that they were
an entirely different company than
that which would be sailing away or.
May-day of another year. The first
cabin of the Lusitania had, as it's
chief group, Canadian and Ameri-
can business men going to look after
contracts with the British and
French governments. Then there
was a large number of Canadians
and Enghshmen going over to en-

agents that of $500 people going on
five vessels, there were only about
100 who had not some very specific
business calling them; practically no
tourists at all.

However long the result of the
mighty duel in France and Flanders
may hang in the balance, and how
ever often beyond the Vistula and
the Carpathians the tides of battle
may swing back and forth, Constan-
tinople is near the end of its Turk

Of the expeditionary forces of the
allies on the peninsula leave no
doubt of that.
In these days troops coming from
afar over the seas do not land in
large numbers on hostile shores un-
less they are able to stay. A raid
ing party covered by a fleet may
swoop down upon a coast and fit
away as easily and as swiftly as it
came. But it is far simpler to put
great armies ashore in strange lands
than it is, if they are beaten or hard
pressed, to take them safely off
again.
The allies would never have Sc.
down six great expeditions upon the
Turkish peninsula unless they had
known that they could stick. To be
worth the candle the game had to
be a sure game. Those six expedi-
tions cannot be on the peninsula,

danelles are knocking the Turkish
forts to pieces, without the road be-

"LEST WE FORGET"

In his address before the Southern
Commercial Congress, George w.
Perkins makes some points that may
well be the subject of serious ref1ec-
ton. The United States is passing
through another important period of
reconstruction and problems are de-
veloping which require deep thought;
the prosperity of any one section is
intimately related with the prosper
ity of the country as a whole. 1t is
an age of cooperation, of national
im, rather than sectionalism.
Rut the most important point
which Mr.. Perkins touches is per-
ennial. 1t is not developed by the
era of electricity any more than by
the era of tallow dips. 1t was vital
to this country in the days of the
pohy express; it remains vital in the
days of twentieth century limiteds
We need men who understand our
great problems, whether they be the
economic questions on which Mr.. Per.
kins lays stress; or military, political
or other problems. The United
States has always needed men "who
are willing from patriotic motives
to surrender some pecuniary gain
and go to Washington for but one
purpose, namely, the broad future
good of the country"
The salvation of this republic has
been that at crisis, whether in 1776
or 1860, such men have always ap-
peared. The danger has been that
in n.times of less obvious necessity,
: too many of the other sort-the self
seeking and the incompetent-have

Claim of Strong Navy

Bearing further on the naval unpre-

that the navy is strong fighting force
He points out that the Secretary. has

veals the fact that his official council

our lack of naval policy has placed US
in position of inferiority to foreign
nations. and that that inferiority - con-
tinually on the increase.

BILEY SUNDAY AT GOLF

In taking up golf, the Rev. Mr..
. Sunday has reversed his usual role
and from the converter has become
the converted. But this need cause
no blush of shame to mantle his
cheek; there is here no hint of back
sliding. In espousing the royal and
ancient game Mr.. Sunday is follow
ing an unimpeachable precedent.
The conception of golf as mere
game is too narrow; it is a physical
exercise, a moral discipline, a philo-
sophical recourse. 1t has been wooed
if not won-on our transatlantic
shores by merchant princes, states
men, and by Presidents of the United
States. Why should it not gain favor
of the strenuous evangelist?
Upon Mr.. Sunday, too, golf will
probably. bestow a peculiar blessing.
He will probably find it an outlet for
his verbal exuberance such time as
it cannot be poured upon the devoted
heads of the trail-hitters. Golf, we
have heard, makes considerable de-
mands upon the explanatory vocabu-
larry. Mr.. Sunday, we have also
heard, is by no means expert with
the clubs. But, whatever the imper,
fection. in his style of addressing
the ball before he hits it, we may ex-
pect new standards in the art of ex-
hortation after he sees it still there.

FOUR PLANES FORM
NAVY FLYING OUTFIT
Secretary Daniels Taken to
Task by Aerial Age for Lack
of Aviation Policy.

The shocking condition in naval
aeronautics has ben revealed by the
nsvy's own reports in the past few
weeks.
1.-THE United States navy's actual fly
ing equipment consists of but four
aeroplanes--and the prospective add
ton of only five more machines!
"And there is no definite plan for
extension in the near future. There is
insted a proposition entertained to
take even the limited personnel and the
meager resources available and employ
ing them for an experiment similar to
one (which England and France have
proven falIacious and which they aban-
doned after waste of $5,OOo,oO0 and
invaluable time.
That aeronautics in the navy is in
shocking condition" is the charge
made against the regime of Secretary
Daniels in an article just published In
Aerial Age, a New York publication.
1t is predicted that 1t will be months
before increase in the aviation forces
and that prospects are there will be
postponements indefinite Among other
things, Aerial Age says:
THE most deplorable aspect Is that
the navy has no aeronautical policy.
Its actions in the past three years have
been most haphazard in character
Since 1912. when it gloried in the dis
tinction of having been the first navy
in the world to recognize the value of
naval aeronautics, IL has been procras-
tinatng, until in the past two years
naval aeronautics in the United States
has even lost the dignity Of an expert
ment.
plans were made and publicity given
to them. but no steps taken to realize
them. and the nation who has been
waiting for the execution of the plans
which it has approved. and for which
1t is paying, has been given, instead OF
an active aeronautical organization. a
series of apologetic bulletins attempting
to justify what cannot be justified In
critical times such as the present; the
failure to provide a sufficient aero
nautical organization.
Bulletins have been issued periodic
ally by the navy in the past two years
to justify its inactivity"
