GRIDIRON SPORT MIGHT DIE
Effect of Action of Yale, Harvard and
Princeton Is PuzzIIng to
Football Fans.

The fact that Yale, Princeton and
Harvard, recognized as the leaders in
football, have suspended activities on
the gridiron for the duration of the
war, has set the devotees of the game
to thinking. The universal question
of those interested in the matter is:
What ultimate effect will this have
on the sport pursued by the smaller
colleges?
Is football to die until after the war
or will those who have the sports In
terest at heart bring strong enough
pressure to bear for its conservation 2
Action by the big Three" in cancel
ing their schedules is patriotic indeed.
it is true, but there is probably some
practical method obtainable which will
give the young collegian a chance to
indulge in his favorite autumn sport.
Football should not be allowed to die
natural death when means can be
adopted for its preservation. 1t is
part Of every college mans life, and
without its moral and physical effect
he viii suffer.

there was little difference between
Miss Bjurstedt and Miss Browne, the
question Of the women's national su-
premacy was not confined to these two,
but should include May SuttOn-Bundy.
Won English Title Twice.
Mrs. Bundy, as May Sutton, won the
national championship in 1904 at an
age said to have been under eighteen.
Thereafter she forfeited her United
States championship rights In order to
go abroad and play in the women's
"All-cOmers" and national champion
ship, In England. The last she won
twice, once in 1905 and again in 1907.
Her marriage to the well-known ten
mis- player, T. G. Bundy, partner Of
"Comet" Mclaughlin, as national
doubles champion, has since removed
her from the competitive field. She
has not been In the rankings for sew
eral years.
But it is not to be considered that
Mrs. Bundy is out Of the running, by
any means. We have two recent
'lines" ON this wonderful woman
player, Of whom it was said at one
time that there were not over a dozen
men In the United States able to de-
feat her.
Two years ago Mrs. Bundy and Miss
Bjurstedt played three matches, exhI-
bition. two of which were won by the
American girl. This year, in the East
West series, her superiority was shown
again In a series Of three matches as
follows:
Mrs. Bundy defeated Miss Blur
stedt, rs. 81.
Miss Browne defeated Miss Blur
stedt, rs, go.
Mrs. Bundy defeated Miss Browne
11-9, 6-3.
Here is direct line and new one
and events have since justified the con
clusion that the proper ranking Of the
three best players in the world to-
day is:
No. Mrs. May Sutton Bundy.
No. 2-Miss Mary Z. Browne.
No. 3-Miss Molla Bjurstedt.

Lecturlng on the Effect on the Eye
Of Varying Degrees of Brightness and
Contrast" before the Illuminating En-.
gineering society recently, DR.. James
Kerr Of the public health department
of the London county council, referred
to some effects which may be surpris-
ing. Having to examine long lists Of
figures in black type, he tried to fa-
cilitate his task by drawing vertical
and horizontal lines in red ink, but
the different focusing OF the black and
red strained his eye and gave him q
headache, which did not trouble him
when all the figures and lines were
either black or red. Doctor Kerr ques'
tions whether a target Is more distinct
when brilliantly Illuminated disk ap'

when the surroundings were diffusels

Kept Parents in Ignorance

A kindly conspiracy kept an aged
couple in ignorance of the fact that
their son-an officer in the army-Was
facing the dreadful ordeal of being
tried for murder, says London cor
respondent. The parents live in a re-
mote part of the country, and as they
are not in very good health, they re-
ceive few visitors. The mans sisters
established a censorship of all letters
and papers coming into the house. Any
letter that bore any reference to the
trial was suppressed, while they were
sometimes hard put to it to explain
why the papers were so ruthlessly
mutilated. During the process of the
trial the man wrote letters home In
which he pretended to be at the front.
Eventually he was triumphantly ac-
Quilted, but the parents were kept In
ignorance of even this fact, as 1t was
feared the shock would have too great
an effect upon them.

CASE OF BRoTHERLY LOVE
New King Of Greece Once Hurled
Challenge at Crown Prince, Bur
Latter Declined to Accept.

A good story is told concerning the
new King Alexander of Greece, be-
tween whom and his elder brother,
Prince George, there is not, nor ever
has been, any love lost. One day
shortly after his fathers accession to
the throne a shoot was in progress on
the royal estates near Athens, and
during the luncheon hour a discussion
arose on accidents at shooting par
ties.
mo man has ever peppered me in
mistake for a pheasant" remarked
Prince George. "If anyone were fool
ish enough to do so would shoot him
dead on the spot"
Shortly afterward, when sport had
been resumed, the crown prince felt q
shower of shot rattle round his gait
cred legs, and, turning in fury to
find whence it proceeded, saw his
brother with a gun leveled in his di.
rection.
"rve got another barrel ready.
said Prince Alexander. "Will you
shoot2'
The challenge was not accepted.

The secretary's confession duly ap-
peared in newspaper article, and the
cartoonist illustrated it with draw
ing showing him as a sea serpent with
three heads. In the course of his ex-
PLANTATION, Masterman consigned the
entire staff Of the navy department to
that place where birthstone is unmolli-
fed with mOlasses.
That ended the secretary's career,
and it would have ended Masterman's
IL his had not been ended already.
After that the old maa became
known as q bore who buttonholed pub
lie men and tried to induce them to
subscribe to the fitting out Of new
deep-sea exploration expedition. For
years he haunted the Hobbies OF the
capitol and the clubs, growing more
dogged and obstinate and vituperative
as he met with disappointment after
disappointment.
Then, when his case seemed hope
less, he had succeeded in interesting
an American millionaire, with whose
aid he had fitted out an expedition to
the ShetlandS and FarOes, from which
he had apparently just returned. Lieu

President Comiskey won't be caught
short again in case his White Sox get

where the score board is located, and
increasing the seating capacity to 45,-

tenant Paget gathered from his ram
bling words that he had lost his ship,
and had returned, the sole survivor,
In one Of the ships boats, which he
had rowed for several hundred miles
across the stormy waters Of the North
Atlantic.
"But 1 brought my specimen home
with me, lad" he exclaimed, clutching
at his companions arm. Think of
that, lad! She didn't want to eat.
They don't eat after they're mature,
Donald. That simplified matters con-
siderable. And so l brought her, and
1 got her safe to my home. Donald"
The old mans voice failed him. He
began muttering to himself absently
again. No doubt his terrible expert
ence had unhinged his brain. Lieu
| tenant Paget had always known Mas
terman to be q natural eccentric, but
never before had he talked like this
about the safety of humanity, and
some awful and imminent danger
which only he could avert. The lieu
tenant could see that the old mans
cheeks were sunken; his eyes were
wild, and under his long coat the
faded blue uniform was shrunken and
stained with sea water.
Lieutenant Paget felt well disposed
toward the whole world just then. He
had been summoned home from serv-
ice with the Atlantic fleet to receive
his commission as commander Of the
F55. And Miss Ida Kennedy, the
daughter of the American consul gen
eral in London, whom he had met
there the year before, had written hin
that she was sailing in company witt
her aunt by the BeOtia for New York
At such a time, when his profes
sional and personal interests were be
ing served so well by fortune, Page
felt that fate had played wretcheC
trick upon Masterman, whose lifewOrl
had utterly failed of recognition owing
to his defects Of temperament. Thougl
he was sure that the old sea captain
was crazed, he admired him as a dar
ing seaman and an original genius o
high order.
"My dear lieutenant. am extremel.
