GETTING READY FOR
BIG !. N. c. A. SHOW
RehearsaIs Going on in Earnest
for Big Vaudeville ProduC-
ton at Association Build
ing May d and 5.

All of those participating in the
first annual vaudeville show to be
given at the Y. NJ. G. A. on two
nights, May and s. are now re-
hearsing in earnest. Those taking
part in the various acts may be found
any night in different parts of the as
sociation building, going through
their stunts. The gymnasium. boys
rooms, class rooms and board rooms
are all being utilized in order that
the various rehearsals may not be
interrupted or interfere with each
other.
The boys are preparing q minstrel
show as their part of the program,
rehearsals for this having started
about two weeks ago and are being
held almost every night. Rehearsals
OF the other acts are progressing
splendidly. The entire vaudeville
show will be given next Wednesday
night at the first rehearsal in the
gymnasium in which all of the acts
will be presented. Twelve acts have
been arranged, being composed of the
kind which one would ordinarily find
at vaudeville show. No two acts
will be the same, thus doing away
with any possible monotony.
Tickets have been on sale for sew
eral weeks for the show and these

Every seat in the house will be re-
served. The same performance will
be given on both Friday and Satur-
day nights, so that those who find
one night inconvenient may go and
see the same show the other night.
The annual circuses which proved
so popular for two years. have been
done away with this year and this en-
tertainment has been arranged In
stead. 1t is as big an undertaking,
however. and will have about 150 men

EBDETS JR. ADVOCATES LATE
OPENING FOR BIG LEAGUES
By ID. G. HAMILTON.

(Unfted Press STAN Correspondent
New York. April 20.-When bliz-
yards and blustery weather began to
take the knots In eastern baseball this
spring. Charles H. Ebbets. Jr., who
helps run things for the Brooklyn Ma
tional League Club, expressed himself
as favoring later openings for the
major leagues.
Every year or so there Is some talk
of setting the dates back, but when a
good spring comes along and shovels In
the dollars the talk usually is quickly
dropped. Spring in this section this
year. however, was so backward that
the talk promises to take a definite
form. 1t Is no fun for a baseball mag
nate TO get team in condition and then
come north to the chilly blasts of un-
favorable weather. 1t has been some
time since a really favorable day ap-
peared for the opening games.
Nearly every year of late we have
been getting wonderfully good baseball
weather at the close of the season,
said Ebbets, land this is against unfav-
orable days In the spring. It would
make no difference If we opened two
weeks later and closed bit later In
the fall. Schedules would work just the
same. 1t has been customary In late
years to have the best baseball weather
of the season along toward its close
1 believe we should take advantage
ofit.
''Of course, there are some springs
when conditions are ideal for baseball
But they are uncertain. Autumn
weather recently has been consistent
I believe it's best to take what we are
sure of"
John X. Tener, president of the Ma
tional League, however, holds q diff
ferent view. He does not believe ad-
vancing the opening would have any
effect on the season. bad weather,
he declared, us just as likely to show
up late in May as in the middle OF
April, and glance at our records will
show this. However, I can't see that
it would hurt us any to make-the
change, and, If our magnates want to-
it's up to us to make the switch.

 Between us and Germany a gulf is fixed, red with the blood of peace ful non-combatants. We cannot grasp her hand again until the armies of Germany have been defeated and the spirit of militarism permeating the na- tion exercised.
 "The British government. when first approached on the subject of Constan- tinople and the straits early in the spring of 1915. immediately expressed it's whole hearted assent. We want to see Russia largely compensated for all her services and sacrifices; we want to help her to the prize she has so long dreamed of; We want to see her strong and prosperous and we want to see the alliance which this war has cemented. for upon it's main tenance depends the future peace of the world.

SUPREME BASEBALL lEACUERS RALLY
CBy Review Leased Wirel

CINCINNATI. Jan. 1.-Baseball men from almost every part of the country began gathering here eonight for the annual meeting Of the national baseball commission tomorrow. While the com mission meeting has been called fot 10 a. m.. il is highly probable that 1t will be hours later before the supreme
 court of baseball really begins it work,
 in as much as there has been a spe- cial meeting called of the club owners
 of the three class AA leagues, which
 has an indicated object the adoption of suitable resolution for presenta- tion to the commission. asking that
 the drafting of players from class A leagues be abolished.
 While nothing official has been an nounced by the commission as to how it will look upon this demand, it was
 unofficially indicated by President Johnson of the American league thar the request would be denied.
 That the class AA leagues men in.
 tend to press the matter with energy
 is indicated by the special meeting
 called for tomorrow and while any
 club president Of the American Asso-
 citation and the International league
 is expected here, it is hardly probable
 that the Pacific Coast league will be represented by more than one man. It is likewise probable that large
 number of the major leagues magnates will be in attendance, as large num- Der of matter that have to do with the
 relation between the major and minor
 league clubs are believed to be on the list of matters to be considered by l the commission.
 The election of officers for the com mission also will be held but it has be-
 come an assured fact during the last
 week that both Chairman August Herr
 mann and Secretary John E. Bruce would be reelected the announcement from Chicago that President Johnson,
 of the American league, has stated
 that he saw no reason to make a
 change. putting an end to numerous
 rumors of the past six months that
 the commission would have a. new head in the person of some one not
 affiliated with either major league.

RUBEN PICKS
 AlL-AMERICAN
 ATHLETIC TEAM
CBy Review Leased Wire)

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-Following the custom which the late James F. Sul- livan esta blished. F. w. Rubien. secre- tary of the Amateur Athletic Union. has selected all-American track and field teams from among the A. A. |. college and scholastic stars for the season of 1916. Every section of the country is represented and the list furnishes an indication of the increase of proficiency among all classes of competitors. Secretary Rubien con,- ments in part as follows:
 "In selecting an all-American team. no double selections were made. one man being chosen for each event. The list includes the backbone of the team which would have represented this country in the 1916 olympic games had they been held at Berlin as sche- duled. One of the most difficult posi- tions to select Is the head of the list for the sprints. My selections are loomis for the loo and Ward for the 200 yards. Ward was the sprinting StlSttlOu Ol lht ycdi, "ihhiuS bOth the 100 and 220 at the national cham pionship. Loomis proved to be the fastest indoor sprinter. winning the national championship at 50 yards in the record time of 6:2-5 seconds. Dur ing the summer his jumping slowed him a trifie, but he defeated Ward in every race in Sweden and Norway.
 U. E. Meredith created worlds rec ords for the quarter and half mile. but had worthy opponents in E. c. Riley, B. Dismond and T. J, Halpin in the 440, and w. J. Bingham. Don Scott. L. Scudder and L. " Windnagle in the SS0. Meredith is scheduled for the quarter and Scott for the half. Scott is a wonderful runner. running the intercollegiate conference and na- tional half miles. and is comparatively a beginner
 ''The final heat of the 120 yards high hurdles at the national cham pionship brought the four best hurdlers in the world together and they can be ranked as they finished: Robert Simp. son, first; F. w. Kelly, second; Earl Thompson, third, and Fred Murray, fourth. Simpsons hurdling was the sensation of the year dnd his worlds record of IA S-5 second in a remark able performance. Fred Murray was easily the best 220-yard low hurdfer The 40 yard hurdles goes to A. w Hummell, although w. P. Meaniz is close up.
 "The team is undoubtedly the strong est track and field team American has ever produced and shows the great progress being made for every section of this great country is represented"
