Army and Sport.

1t Is queer fact that any numbe,
of athletes who might be football
baseball or tennis stars cannot pass
the army examination.
And many others who. physically
are hardly considered husky enough
for football or baseball or the ring. are
o. X. in the Khaki league.
We know several husky citizens,
athletes in training only brief while
back. who have been dropped out at
various quarters arranged for the Of
ficers' reserve corps.
In some cases old football or base
ball injuries that had been forgotten
brought disqualification when the long
hiking and the grind of the drill began
to get in its work.
Yet training in sport has made 1t
far easier for those who were retained.
Those accustomed to hard exercises
have found the military training easy
enough to stand whereupon others, I'M
used to a life in the open. the routine
fell with stunning crash.
a man. for example. who plays a
good many sets Of tennis a week or
who plays golf with fair frequency
takes but little time to get in fine
shape for the hiking and drilling.

He says also that any number Of

proper condition for service.

about this baseball problem" he said,

Another Side.

But one athlete put the matter TO us
In another way. 1T isn't the matter of
physical ability he said. but it is
often a matter of nerves. ! don't mean
that one may be afraid. But in sport
you get direct competition and there
is always a variety. In the military
end there is a certain routine which
begins to work upon many nervous
systems. In this way man who
might last out a hard football game
easily might cave In at some calls

the thing would soon blot out his merry

The building trades. according to
their Spokesman, base their action
upon the contention that the Dyer
company has broken an "Open-shop''
agreement signed last year. They say
that the scale has not been paid in all
cases: that Missoula labor has not
been preferred and that what they
consider a promise to come mp to 1917
wage scales has been broken.

THE SP0RTL|GHT
az GRANTLAND RICE.

Just what effect the forthcoming
draft will have upon baseball is not
yet outlined for public consumption.
We have heard two definite PROPOSE
tions stated. First-That no ball play
ers would be drafted.
Second--That any ball player draft
ed would be given until October to re-
port. The last proposition may be
true. The first doesn't sound reason-
able. Ball players will undoubtedly be
treated just as other citizens. 1t may
be the exemption board will try and
figure things out in such way that
no one club will be unduly broken up
while others lose no valuable flesh.
1t may be also that any players
drafted. especially those who have been
drilling in the American league, will be
given until october to report. For by
October they will be far better drilled
than any rockies secured in August OF
September.
But as there are any number of un
married ball players between the age.
of u and 80 who are in first class
physical shape, many of these will.bt
called from the diamond toward TIT
trench--and many more win very like

Sport and the Red Cross.

Sport must not be overlooked as an
aid in still another direction. While
no figures have been published as to
the amount of money turned in to the
Red Cross through sporting activities,
the tota! undoubtedly runs high.
Through baseball golf. tennis and
other ondeavors several hundreds OF
thousands of dollars have been raised
and by the end of the summer over a
million will be turned in through these
channels.
There is a scheme now under way TO
have two pitched clubs for the major

would raise IA hogshead of gold in a

American Association Is
Not United on Series Cut

Chicago, May 22.-Club owners of
the American Association met infor-
mally here yesterday on President
Hickey's move in canceling the In
terleague series with the Interna-
tional League. Every club in the
association save Louisville was rep
resented.
Indications before the conference
were that President Hickey's action
would be approved, as five of the
eight club owners were reported to
favor cancellation. Rogers Bresnahan,
owner of the Toledo club, said he
was undecided, and James McGil,
president of the Indianapolis club,
with o. II. Wathen, of Louisville, are
said to be in favor of going through
with the series.
Joseph Tinker, president of the
Columbus club, issued statement
approving OF President Hickey's
move. The Milwaukee, Minneapolis.
st. Paul and Kansas City clubs also
favor calling off the series.
The International League at a
meeting in Buffalo yesterday placed
the issue before the association for
decision.

For that reason I believe the first

Every major league ball club is

put these fellows back in the minors,

FIRST BREAK IN SPORTS
IN FORTY-ONE SEASONS;
HARVARD LEADS IN HONORS

New York, May 22.-No better i'll
lustration of the effect of the war
upon college athletics can be cited
than is contained in the announce
ment that the intercollegiate track
and field championships, even in the
form of patriotic games, have been
abandoned. Not since the initial
meet in 1876 has there been break
in these national titular contests.
Now after a period of forty-one
years, the season of 1917 will be
blank in the records and history of
the intercollegiate Association of
Amateur Athletes of America.
No other form of college athletics
or sports has ever had such a broad
and continuous record in it's own par
ticular field of activity in this coun-
try. For this reason, if no other,
the devotee of track and field COM
petition has been hoping against
hope that the games would be con-
tinued, even though in a curtailed
manner, for the present season at
least.

meet of the assiociation was held at
Saratoga, n. Y, with Yale, Princeton.
Pennsylvania, Bowdoin, Dartmouth,
Columbia. Williams and City College
of New York among the competing
institutions. Since that date forty
one meets have been held without a
break at various points in the East
including New York, philadelphia
and Cambridge.
During this period thirty-seven
colleges or universities have been
represented by athletes who have
won at least one place or point. The
list includes almost every institution
of the East, Michigan, of the Middle
West. and California and Stanford of
the Pacific Coast.
While it is impossible to state
with accuracy the number of athletes
who have striven for track and field
honor in these meets it is estimated
that the total would run into into
many thousands. In championships

Yale is second with nine; Pennsylva-

ENGLISH FARMS SINK

ers in alarge area of Cheshire have
their work complicated by the fact
that the surface of their farms is
steadily sinking at rate reaching
in many places several inches year
ly. This subsidence occurs in the dis
trict of the great salt mines. The salt
deposits are about. 400 feet below
the surface, and there is everywhere
at this depth total thickness of at
least 200 feet of salt. The gradual
removal of the salt is the cause of
the subsidence OF the land.
