NEW YORK, Sept i. - Further ef- fleets of the war on baseball par ticularly the minor league circuits, is shown in the latest issue or a semi official organ of the professional game. The records indicate that nine leagues, consisting of more than fifty clubs, have disbanded since the open ing of the present season; that eight
 others have been forced to revise their
 playing schedule, while several more have either dropped clubs or shifted them to cities or towns which prom ised better support. All these changes occurred during the first half of the season, however, and it appears that
 those organizations which have read
 iusted to meet or passed the crisis
 will continue until the close of their regular playing schedule.
 Further analysed, the reports show that Three-I UiinoisIowa-Indian Northwestern, South Atlantic, Vir- ginia, Central Texas, Dexie, Georgia Alabama, North Carolina and North ern leagues all abandoned the idea of playing out the schedule season. Among those circuits which revised their schedules were the Ameriean and International leagues, due to the
 cancellation of the proposed inter league series; Western, Eastern. New York State, Texas, Central and Blue Ridge leagues. In several cases the revision of schedules was made neces- sary through the dropping of one or two clubs.

The decision to confine the early round play in the National Patriotic Lawn Tennis Singles Tournament to the best two out of three sets calls attention to the fact that the U. S. N. L. T. A. rules do not, at the present time, specify the number of sets which shall be played in championship tournament match. One of the regu- lations calls for a rest at the close of the third set, indicating that the code makers had in mind a match of more than three sets where all were not won by the same player.

INSECTS TENACIOUS OF LIFE
Are Able to Survive Injuries Which
Would Cause Death In Higher
Forms Of Animal Life.

The unusual success of insects in the
struggle for existence has been a SUBJ
ject Of much discussion in scientific
circles. Just why it is that these lit
tie creatures have survived the ravages
of birds and other enemies, as we'll as
the ingenious contrivances Of man for
their destruction, and form today the
most numerous class of animals on
the face of the earth, leaves a wide
field for argument and conjecture.
Two important reasons for this have
been pointed out by naturalists, i. e.,
their prOlifcacy and their eXtraordi-
nary adaptation to environment. An
other just as potent reason, which has
received less attention, is their amaz-
ing tenacity to life, many species be-
ing able to survive injuries which
would cause almost instantaneous
death in the higher forms Of animal
life.
