The increasing cost of raw material
and labor in this country is likely to
make itself felt in various lines Of
sport during the next few months. AL
most without exception the cost of all
forms of sport toggery and para
phernalia is increasing and golf, ten
mis-, baseballs, racquets, clubs, shoes
and other supplies are expected to fol
low in the wake of foodstuffs. In a
recent discussion of the subject large
manufacturer of these supplies stated
that while additional charges were be-
ing made for but few of the articles
used in the more popular sports at
this time a general increase was in
evitable if conditions continued on the
upward trend.
He cited the case of baseballs as an
example, stating that there was a fair
profit to be made in this line a few
years ago while at the present the
margin had been reduced to a point
where it would not pay to manufac-
ture baseballs as an independent
product.

INTERNATIONAL POLO
MATCH PROJECT WILL
Be FULLY DISCUSSED

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The possibili-
ty of a series of international polo
matches in this country during the
coming summer will be an important
subject for discussion at the annual
meeting of the Polo association to be
held in this city February Is. The
proposition has been informally ris-
cussed among polo enthusiasts for it
is known that there is an excellent
chance that a team from Argentine
will invade the United States with q
mores remote possibility that Spain
may also follow suit.
The only obstacle which appears to
stand in the way of the visit of fast
combination of players and mounts
from the South American republic is
the difficulty of securing direct trans
portation at the proper time Of the
year. According to communications
which have passed between the North
and South American players the i'm
preston prevails that the invading po-
loists would be obliged to make the
trip to this country via England. If
it can be found that the Argentine
team and ponies can make satisfactory
steamship connections direct to New
York the other arrangements are but
minor details.
Polo play in Argentine is no novelty
and the type of mount, game and
player compares favorably with the
best of this country. The history Of
polo in Argentine dates back to the
late eighties, as the Buenos Aires
birmingham club was formed in 1888.
Four years later the Polo association
of the River Platte was organized
with IA clubs. In 1893 an annual
championship tournament was begun
under the name of the River Platte
championship, the title play being held
each September.
As a result of these championship
series some very high class players
have been developed among the larger
ranch owners and their sons. Many
of the English settlers have taken up
the game with the same enthusiasm
and traditions that govern polo at
home and the game as played in the
South American republic today will
bear comparisons with that of both
the United States and England. This
was demonstrated by the selection of
John Trail as first substitute on the
English team which captured the in
ternational polo trophy from the
American four at Meadow Brook, L. l.,
in 1914.
Trail is one of the family of polo
players of that name which has made
the game famous in Argentine. Play
ing under the title of the North Santa
Fe team, the four composed of John,
Robert and Edward, three brothers,
and Joe Trail, a cousin, were virtually
invincible until the death of Edward
broke up the quartet. Within the past
three years other players have been
developed and with the Trails inter
ested a formidable four ought to be
available for international compete
ton should the Argentine association
decide to send team to the United
States.

Express Determination to Stay Out
All Summer if Necessary

With the exception that a few Of
the striking machinists, lathe hands,
grinders and other laborers at the
Skinner Chuck company returned to

grievances of the men collectively,
although still agree to investigate
each individual case. Those who Wis
tied superintendent North were Ben
jamin Cohen. Benjamin Levanthal,
c. D. Stoddard and c. Berg.
At this afternoons meetings the
strikers issued a statement to the eff

that of an organized union they are
determined to stand by one another,
to such an extent that on their re-
turn they will again go on strike if
any Of their fellow workmen are dis
charged without excellent reasons.
Treasurer E. J. SINNERS only COM
ment on the strike was that while
few of the strikers returned to work
this morning or afternoon the main

Until last February, when he was
appointed Prussian food controller,
there had been little in the life OF Dr.
Georg Michaelis to distinguish him
from hundreds of his bureaucratic
colleagues. He had filled faithfully q
series of gradually ascending posts,
from that of collector or magistrate
to the presidency of municipal
council. and at the advent Of old age
had received an under secretaryship
as a reward for life of bureaucratic
labor.
Dr. Michaelis was born in 1857 and
entered the department of education.
He laugh In the German government
school at Tokyo from 1885 to 1889.
In the latter year he returned to Ger
many to complete his law studies and
was admitted to the Prussian bar at
Schneidemuhl, Posen, in 1891. He
served in several small judicial Of
fees and then, in 1892, became first
president of the municipal council Of
Breslau.
Seven years later he was appointed
under secretary of finance, serving
under F'reiherr Won Rheinhab ben.
In March DR.. Michaelis made a
pessimistic speech to the Prussian
diet in which he said that the Ger

endurance for which the government
had hoped. 1t is asserted that DR..

DRAFT THIS WEEK
IS NOW FORECAST
Preliminary Steps Practically
Complete Says Washington

Washington, July 17.-With only
ten states remaining to be heard from
on the organization of local exemption
boards and with the serial number
lists Of registrants from all but e4S
OF the 1859 exemption districts on
file in Washington, Provost Marsnal
General Crowder was hopeful To-Day
that the preliminary stages of the war
army drawing would be completed
within forty-eight hours. He pre-
pared to take up with Secretary Baker
later in the day details OF the lo1tery
process for final approval.
If there is no unexpected delay It
seems likely that the drawing can be
held Friday or Saturday. A single dis
trict which fails to finish its prelimi-
nary work on time, however, can
hold up action indefinitely
Once past the drawing stage, Cen
eral Crowder pointed out today. the
necessity for concerted action by the
states ceases and the examination Of
registrants and their assignment to the
army or exemption can proceed in
any state without regard to progress
made in any other community.
States Not Complete.
The ten states not having completed
the preparations for the drawings are:
Alabama, Illinois, New York, Michi-
gan, Mississippi, Missouri, Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The
group includes the states having the
largest population and probably the
total population of all ten represents
something more than half of the popu-
lation of the country.
General Crowder declined to make
any comment on the statements made
yesterday in the senate attacking the
fairness Of the census bureau popula-
ton estimates upon which the allot-
ment of quotas under the draft law is
based.
Other officials pointed out that the
revised estimates Of the census bureau
were not intended to fax the actual
population of any community. The
estimates are prefaced with the state
ment that they are for use in connec-
ton with the draft only. They are
based upon registration and represent
the distribution over the country of
men between the ages flxed IN the
draft law. Large figures for many of
the cities are accounted for by the
concentration of men of the draft age
there for work in munition or other
plants.
