400 ARE ENTERED
Army of Athletes Will Take
Part in Drake Meet.
Leading Stars of Whole Country
Are Entered Now.

Des Moines Ia, April 17.-Athletes
to the number of a battalion of the
regular army will appear in the Drake
relay games at the Drake stadium
April 81. Attendants at this meet will
see two companies of sprinters, 1877 in
all, LAT quarter mile runners COM
pany of 1O7 half mile runners, forty
milers and seven hurdlers. While
there are a few Implications, at least
three of the hurdlerS appearing on re-
lay teams and a few of the high school
men competing in two events TINS
number represents individual entries
so that well over 400 men will be on
the stadium track when the meet IS in
progress. Also in this same NUMBER
will be the greatest stars in the attn
letic armament of the west II not IN
the present day world.
Leading this remarkable band OF
men will be Simpson of Missouri, the
greatest hurdler of all time, the most
remarkable athlete of last year, pos
sibly the best physical athlete the col
leges of the world will ever know
He will appear at least twice, in the
special hurdle event and as a member
of the Missouri half mile relay team
and it is possible still another event
will be on the program in which he
will take part. With him on the Mis-
souri, team would be two other men of
stellar importance, Renick and Wyatt
were it not for the company they keep
on Rollins field at the University of
Missouri.
But the other stars are brilliant
The Iowa schools will contribute Hoyt
of Grinnell, the individual star of the
last meet, Daft of Simpson and Haw-
thorne and Packer of Ames. The Uni
versity of Chicago will bring back to
Iowa one of its great interscholastic
stars in Tenny and will have with him
PRTS6InR Snrlnter
miller. Illinois, which team has con-
tributed many of the stars of the past,
will have Ames hurdler, and Sphinx, a
middle distance man. holder of the
western interscholastic record. North
western will present Smart, orc of the
best of the quartermilers of the pres
ent time, and Barker, a more than av-
erage Sprinter.

WAR TAX 437 MILLION
That's United Steel Company's Share,
Judge Gary Estimates.

New York, April 1.-THE proposed
government war taxes on corporations
will cost the United Steel corpora ton
S437, 100000, according to estimates by
Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the
board of directors, presented at a
stockholders meeting held in Hoboken
this afternoon.
THAT other laws will be passed no
one at the present time can doubt"
he said. The burden which will be
imposed upon corporations and indi-
viduals will be large, 1 am sure no
loyal citizen can object, providing
there is a fair and equitable distri-
button of the burden.
IF the disposition of the lawmakers
shall be to secure as much money as
can possibly be expended for all the
purposes which have been suggested
then it seems evident that all the
profits or earnings of all the corpor-
atoms and the individuals may be
taken away from those who possess
them. l do not believe that is going
to be the attitude of the lawmakers"

and the process of recruiting will take
from sportdom many of its stars, at
least for a time.
With compulsory military service
adopted by the government, the cream
of American manhood will be called
upon to fill up the ranks of the vast
army, and no field offers such able
bodied men as the field of sport.
Baseball is bound to be called upon
to furnish many soldiers for Uncle
Sam, and many players who are of the
specified military age-from twenty 10
twenty-five years-will be called into
service.
Many Men Eligible.
The government wants only foot
free men, and in baseball there are
hundreds The club owners in the va
rious leagues thruout the country
fully expect that many of their players
will be called, and in due time they
will take steps to fill up the ranks
where players will be taken.
Collegiate sports will furnish an
equally fertile field for recruiting

two hits alone were enough to con-

Giants. He scored his first shut out

Take Auto Drivers.

Automobile race drivers have al
ready responded nobly to the call to
arms, and voluntary enlistments from
the ranks of golf, tennis, football, row.
ing and boxing have been numerous.
When compulsory military service is
put in vogue, many more devotees in
these branches of sport will be recruit
ed.
Altho sports will not be INDUCED
in as largely during the coming year
as has been the case in the past, there
will be a sufficiency of sport to keep
the various branches alive.
Baseball, boxing and horse racing
are not expected to suffer killing hard
ships unless unexpected developments
in the war situation arise. Track and
field sports, golf and tennis will be
continued by those who are free to
indulge IN them.
