or eligibility code to govern sport while war prevails.
 These include the suspension of both the one-year and the freshman rule, thus permitting any regularly enrolled student to compete as a memb CT of a varsity team as well as limiting areas of com petition; coaching; admission fees and apportionment of same to worthy causes, such as the Red Cross. It is conceded that under these suggested changes the standard might be lowered in certain lines of sport, such as the highly de- veloped football played by certain of the larger university elevens. To offset this it is pointed out, however, that more students would try for the various ath- letic combinations and training would be adopted upon broader scale.
 The proposal to play Sunday baseball in the big league parks of the eastern cities for the benefit of the military or Red Cross funds is likely to be strongly opposed by the authorities of both Phila- delphia and Boston. Officers of the city government in both communities have in- dicated that it would require a special Legislative act which would be likely to meet considerable opposition.
 The New England division of the Anna teur Athletic union has decided to sub- scribe for an allotment of the liberty bonds and the sum of $1000 will be taken from the reserve funds of the associa- ton for this purpose.
 Nineteen state championship trap shoot ing tournaments will be held during the month of June. Each of these contests will require from two to three days to decide and the entries will total sev- eral thousand. The winners and run ners-up will be entitled to compete for the national championship at the grand American hadicap shoot to be held in Chicago next August

Crackers Cop Initial Conflict from Barons

New York, May 31.-The conviction is growing among close followers of college sports that athletic activity will be re- sumed at almost all of the eastern in- stitutions when they open next fall. Sev- eral meetings and conferences are to be held to discuss this subject in the near future and if advance expression of opin- ions counts, 1t is apparent that sentiment is strongly in favor of a restoration of competitive conditions which prevailed before the declaration. of a state of war
 Undoubtedly the statement by President Wilson indicating that he thoroughly be- lieves in a continuation of sport at the colleges ''as a real contribution to the national defense" has had direct bear ing upon the situation. There was wide difference of opinion among members of the various university athletic associa- tions early this spring when sport sched- ules began to be cancelled.
 A number were in favor of maintain ing the regular system until such time as 1t should seem that competitive con- tests were interfering with the military training programme. Those institutions which continued their schedules, however, found it difficult to secure suitable op- ponents under the prevailing conditions and it was soon realized that the situation would have to be adjusted if there was to be the usual cooperation next au- tumn.
 It is with this idea in mind that the National Collegiate Athletic association and the Graduate Athletic Managers as- sociation have decided to meet and dis cuss plans for revival of college sports under restrictions in keeping with the war spirit of the times. Several sug- gestions have been advanced which may be incorporated in the temporary rules

SEAT SALE BEGINS
 THIS MORNING FOR
 MATCH ON MONDAY
Unusual Interest Manifested in Coming Battle Between OrIoff and Freberg
 at Jefferson

The seat sale for the wrestling match to be staged at the Jefferson theatre next Monday night between Nicholas Orloff and John Freberg will start this morn- ing at the Jefferson box office, and if advance inquiries indicate anything it will oe heavy. Unusual interest has been manifested in the match as both men have appeared here in previous matches and both have won great popularity with the fans on account of their aggressive ness and fearlessness on the mat
 Orloff has been in Birmingham for sew eral days and has attracted much at tention in his Cossack uniform Orlof
 is keenly interested in the present sit uation in Russia and talks interestingly of Russian affairs and of the men who have become known in America through their part in the revolution.
 The Grand Duke Nicholas is idoized by Orloff, who, during his years in the Czarvitchs regiment, came into personal contact with the grand duke. He gives interesting sideights on the hero of the Galician campaigns and declares that the heart will never be put into the Russian army until the grand duke is restored to supreme command.
 While stationed on garrison duty in Petrograd Orloff had an experience with the grand duke which he is not likely soon to forget He had been to sol diers' revel with companion and his fellow soldier had taken aboard little more than he could comfortably carry. The offense for this while in uniform was 30 days imprisonment. The two men were walking toward their barracks when the grand duke, accompanied by hls stan, rode around the corner and stopped at the sight of the staggering soldier. Alight- ing from his horse, he delivered a stlng- ing rebuke to the offender and then called q carnage and sent him to his barracks Orloff says he expected severe punish ment but nothing further was said about the matter
 The grand duke, Orloff says, is great horse trainer and personally breaks all his mounts which have to be unusually strong on account of the weight ana stature of the grand duke, who is seven feet three inches high, and weighs nearly 300 pounds.
 While on maneuvers it was not uncom- mon for the soldiers to arise at CLOCK to find the grand duke, stripped to the waist and struggling with an unruly beast. Orloff says the grand duke al ways conauered The wrestler declares that he has seen the grand duke fell horse with blow of his fist.

One Bad Inning Enough For Crackers 10 Best BdrOns Tn Opening Setto of Biz Series
Karl Black Pitches Game Until Seventh-Base Balls Two Errors and Thrasher's Single Accounts for
 Crackers Victory-Coombs Hits Hard
By DICK JEMIsoN

Atlanta, May a1.-(SpeciaIo
 Despite drenching rain all morning, which stopped ahoHt 2 noon, the Barons and Crackers staged ball game here this aft
 ernoon, the first of a series of
 three games, which the locals
 won, 3 to 1.
 Both teams were late in arriv-
 ing for the game, the Crackers
 train being two hou&s late and
 that of the Barons three hours. After hurried scrambIing the two
 teams got on the field and with short preliminary went to work.
 The field was slow, making fielding of any ground ball difficult, and hits that On a fast field might have gotten through, were flagged by waiting felders and at critical times in the game
 BLACKIE IN FORM
 Tom Sheehan and Karl Black were the opposing twirlers For six innings, the 1sarcn sidewheeler had all the better Of the argument, but bunting attack in the seventh session upset him and his mates and the Crackers eased away with the game.
 Each side grabbed seven bingles during the contest the wallops being scattered and but one hit on each side figured in the run getting. The runs were mostly gifts, due to errors of commission more than commission.
 Lord Cecil Coombs led the attack for the Barons with three blows, long triple to left in the opening session fig uring in the lot. This wallop would or dinarily have been homer but for the muddy going under foot Ellis was Coombs chief aid with two raps, one two-timer. He tailed the lone Baro- nial marker.
