THE accompanying map shows the principal points in the Albanian
l theatre Of war, where important operations are expected hourly.
Montenegro has been cleared by the Austrians of her soldiers. Small
remnants of the Montenegro army fled to the east bank Of the River
Bojana and to Durazzo. Albania is invaded by three armies, all head
ing for the Adriatic. Only three seaports, shown in the map by cross
shading-San Giovanni di Medua in the north, Durazzo in the centre,
and Avlona in the south--remain in the hands of the Italians and
Serbs. The Greek island of Corfu Is occupied by the French. The
capture of Avlona would be the deathknell of Italy's prestige in the
Adriatic.

 It was a treat to see him hurdle close to the sticks with his arms forward at Philadelphia. Instead of shooting an arm straight out in front of them. most of the other hurdlers. when they rise to the hurdle. raise both arms to the side like outstretched wings. Murray.

MANY COLLEGE MEN ENTER

dents of baseball he has ever met. He is always considering how to improve his game and will develop swiftly, Coakley thinks. It is reported in New Haven that Mahan will sign with the Yankees, but Ernest Soucy uaid in New London recently that Mahan was not going to play professional ball.
 He turned down an offer from the Boston Braves to my personal knowl- edge" said Soucy, land I don't think he will play ball unless he receives an of fer of salary much larger than he has yet received"
 Jing Johnson. the Ursinus pitcher. made his debut recently, pitching for the Athletics against the Red Sox, and received a fearful lambasting. Red" Carroll, the Tufts catcher, however, made fine impression, catching John son in fine style and nipping three men who attempted to steal second.
 "One or two of the above players with whom have talked the past year. :" said baseball expert recently, "say it is not to make of baseball an end. but merely means either to complet- ing their education or of laying aside means to assist them in business proj- ects, but others, it is to be feared, have not looked into the future-at least not beyond the immediate future. Baseball. if they make good, will pay them more at the outset than they could reasonably expect to earn in business, and that is the lure.
 "A few will probably catch on at once; others eventually will be trans ferred to the minor leagues for de velopment." Very few college men ever return from the so called bushes. Even assuming they succeed not only, but become famous as professional baseball players, what does it all amount to in the end? Some years ago one of the colleges had a brilliant baseball player. He was also a brilliant student. His inclinations were toward law, but he went into the big leagues. where his value was established at once. He stayed with one club a number of years; then he went to another and after twenty years of service slowed down. Now he is running minor league team. As he looks back into the past and asks what baseball has done for him he must find the answer rather depressing. His professors when he left college agreed that he had it in him to succeed in almost anything to which he directed his mind.
