URBAN LEAGUE CONDUCTS
HEART DISEASE INQUIRY
Miss Spencer Finds 2o1 White and GO
coiored School Children Afflicted.

New York--The National League on
Urban Conditions Among Negroes has
DUST completed an investigation of the
record Of school children in Harlem,
New York city, afflicted with heart dis
ease. This investigation, made with
the approval Of the acting superintend-
ent of public schools, was made by
Miss Naomi B. Spencer and covered all
schools in the district, including private
and parochial schools in which colored
children are part of the school popula-
tion.
The purpose OF the investigation was
to find out how nearly perfect the rec
ords are kept and to ascertain whether
these children are actually being re-
ferred to heart disease specialists for
relief or cure. The name of every
child whose case had been diagnosed as
heart disease has been referred to the
heart disease clinic of the Harlem hos
pital, which for children is open on
Saturday mornings and in which any
child whose parents are not able to
provide expert care may receive treat
ment. The class for adults is held on
Thursday evening.
Miss Spencer visited seventeen schools
and found a total in eleven schools
where the records were seen Of 267
cardiacs or children afflicted with heart
disease. OF this number sixty-six were
colored. The investigator noted the
general health Of the children and re-
Hnd ha -tpo ~
the children affected: Nasal breathing,
defective vision. defective teeth, hyper
trophied tonsils and malnutrition.
Because Of the attendant disorders,
the committee on heart disease Of the
Urban league and DIR. Frederic Brush
and Miss NJ. l.. Woughter Of the Associ-
alton For the Prevention and Relief of
Heart Disease thought that the colored
people OF New York city should know
the danger of such conditions in their
children, these defects probably being
the forerunner of heart disease in child
hood and adult life.
In addition to the work Of the ca ardiac
clinic of the Harlem hospital for per.
sons afflicted with heart disease, the
Urban league and the social service de.
partment Of the Harlem hospital have
entered into an agreement by which
employment may be found for cardiac
cases less destructive to the health OF
the patient. For instance, care will b<
taken to give no cardiac work requiring
him to climb stairs or to perform othel
laborious tasks which produce fatigue.

ease specialist at the College of Ply

COLLEGES WILL CUT OUT

and fees at intercollegiate games, and
adhering to eligibility rules already
Endorsed, with the recommendation
that there be no lowering of eligi-
bility standards.
Intercollegiate sport Needed.
Opinions expressed during the day
by men representing COLLEGES from
every section of the ~alIntry, which
took IN a utudent body OF more Man
10000, were unanimous that inteI
collegiate sports were essential TO
: the development of intermural sports.
The administration Of college ath-
letics for the mass OF students so far
as military drill was not affected
seemed to be the aim OF all institu-
tions participating in the discussion.
i has long been the aim of the N.
C. A. A. to DO away with the idea OF
specializing in Intercollegiate ath-
letics for the few and to have colleges
adopt the general and broader view
Of athletic development for the large
bulk OF students who are now not In
active work.
-Four Colleges Diner.
Differing in the idea OF lItercolls-
giate sports were Harvard, repre-
sented by Fred w. Moore: Princeton,
represented by DR.. Joseph E. Ray
croft; Yale, represented by Prof
Robert n. Corwin, and the University
Of Virginia, represented by DR.. Albert
Lefebre.
It was a foregone conclusion that
all colleges should seek to cut down
expenses, do away with professional
coaches, abolish training tables. and
give to the bulk OF the students not
now in active training a chance for
greater development. The trend Of
college athletics In the past decade
has been toward the specialization OF
teams rather than students" as was
expressed yesterday.
In every instance save those noted,
and there were informal discussions
Of the problem by men from Maine.
Kansas. Oregon, Michigan, and Ten
nessee, athletic directors. college
presidents and graduate managers
held out for intercollegiate sports.
The fact that Secretary Bakers
idea Of athletics for the mass of stu
dents coincided with the expressed
opinions of DR.. Joseph E. Raycroft,
Fred w. Moore. and Prof. Ralph w.
Angler and Prof. d. G. Baritone, OF
the University OF Michigan, showed
conclusiyely that colleges will. in fu-
ture, spend more time on athletic de-
velopment for those not in training
now. rather than for the few who
need little training or development
for the team"
VIII Book Contests.
As to the recommendation for no
preseason training, practically every
college man approached was OF the
opinion that his college would make
its own decision. II seemed likely
that the first game OF the season
would be called off in order to give
time for preparation for later games.
The meeting served to place many
colleges In line for engagements for
football In the fall which would have
gone by the board owing to cancel
Iations by Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
West Point and the Navy.

PRESIDENT SAVES
BALL SCHEDULES
TOEND Of SEASON

President Wilson has come to bat
in a pinch and saved professional
baseball. He has informed a Chi
cago newspaper that "he sees no nee
es-itE - II ~. stouning or curtail-
ing the baseball schedules"
Charlie Comiskey, owner of the
White Sox, now leading the pennant
hunt, says that Ban johnson has
nothing whatever to do with the
worlds series and that, if the White
Sox win the American League pen
nant, they will play for the worlds
title, despite Ban.
Ban Johnson. boss OF the American
League, first was quoted as saying
that there might be no worlds series
because President Wilson might con-
slider the Derby of baseball unpatri-
otto. He also said that his league
was ready to close It's gates at any
moment.
To learn the attitude of President
Wilson. a Chicago newspaper wrote
for information, calling attention to
the fact that Charlie Comiskey was
giving 10 per cent OF his receipts to
the Red Cross, that various clubs
were turning over their parks for war
fund purposes. and that no abatement
OF interest was noticeable among the
fans
President Wilson was asked point
blank whether he considered il advls-
able TO cancel major league SEIZED
ules or call off the worlds series.
Following is his reply. through Sec
rotary Tumulty:
The President asks me to acknow-
ledge the receipt of your letter Of
July rs. and to say that he sees no
necessity at all for stopping or cur
failing the baseball schedules"
~ am glad President Wilson's
views on this matter are clear and
broad minded. AS for President John
son, I cannot understand his attitude.
II you will remember, he had us clos
ing our gates In June A short time
later he had us staggering under the
strain. Still more recently he came
out with the statement about calling
of the world series.
AS a matter OF fact, johnson has
nothing to do with the world series.
II my team wins the pennHnt well
play a world series, whether Johnson
wants one or not. II was strictly up
TO President Wilson to stop us. not
johnson, IL there was any reason TO
do so.
baseball is a large and expensive
Institution. II hurts the game to
have an advance man swinging
around the circuit, bowling calamity"

c. j. STUDENTS IN
REGULAR DRILLING
STUNTS NEXT FALL

Georgetown University Will have
regular military drill as a part OF the
college curriculum next fall and dur
ing the entire year" said Graduate
Manager Charles r. Cox.
The Georgetown man thinks all col
leses in the country will adopt the
idea following yesterdays big meet
ing here at which the National Col
legiate Athletic Association called
college representatives to take up the
s''>'-- programs for the duration Of
the war.
Graduate Manas-- Cox says George
town will be hard hit " the draft
and that s.lere will be few athletes
in college next fall. I'VE intend to
go through with all our schedule,
and in addition expect to continue the
military drill features which we In
augurated last spring" said Cox
Il believe practically every college
in the country will ind time to give
every student military drill and that
there will be plenty OF time for ath-
letics," continued Cox.

FOOTBALL IS DOUBTFUL
UNTIL LATER IN FALL

II Is going 10 be extremely doubtful IL
football will be played at many colleges
until late in the fa!l Informal recon-
mendations were made at yesterdays
y. c. A. A. meeting here. that colleges
cut down their schedules to a minimum.
Athletic directors and coaches seemed
to think that with so many varsity men
out In tn enation's service in the army,
navy. and agricultural pursuits. II Will
be impossible to get football started un-
til late.
Those who will return TO college and
are athleticaIly inclined have been book
ed up 10 harvest fields al over the coun-
try. and are sure TO return TO college
even later than usual.

said he was sure the New England col
legss would be affected by nuHabeFs who

But Joe Leonard, leaping like a

he whipped the ball across the in

COBB Is PEEVISH AS
BREAKS DON'T COME

Ty Cobb Is an Incompatible player.
The best bstsman In the league. a
truly great fielder. he is a sullIy boy
when things don't break well for him
Twice yesterday Ty disagreed with
Umpire Hildebrand on strikes. Each
time he sulked around the box and
started the jeers OF the fans.
In the third inning he raised a fly
to Sam Rice and wouldn't run II out.
Had Rice dropped the ball. Cobb
would never have reached first base
to take advantage OF the error.
In the seventh the Georgian was
caught off second base by a quick
throw from Johnson TO Mcbride. That
let the fans roar their delight. They
were waiting for e chance, and the
great Tiger star was roundly Jeered
for his poor sportsmanship.
