Athletic Union, instead of being held
during the fist weeks of September, as
usually is the case. probably will be
fought out this year along about the
middle of August
The fact that Uncle Sam will be busy
making his first selections for an army
to whip the Germans at the time the
national athletes usually are doing
things is the reason. Three f0urths of
the most prominent men in both div
sions of the union are eligible to the
draft and they are expected 10 respond
promptly TO the call. Holding a meet
in that event would be like a world
series with the rival unpires from each
