War Has Already Had Effect on
Island Football; Many Ath-
Ietes Doing "Bit"

That the draft OF men between the
ages Of Fl and 81 for the national
army probably next month will be
felt by local baseball teams is highly
probable. Although a large number
of the local athletes are members of
the national guard, there are many
others who are in every way qualified
to serve in the army, especially be-
cause of their athletic training, who
will undoubtedly be taken.
Already the war has had its effect
on island football 1t is probable that
the national guard will have no team
this year because so many of its men
have been enlisted in the officers
training camp at Schofeld. Likewise,
many Of the men who played on the
team last year, are in war work.
Concerning the effect of war on
baseball on the mainland, the Sport
ing Life" says:
While the war has not affected
baseball to any extent in the major
leagues, it has played havoc with the
minor circuits, most Of which are in

U. OF P. MAY ABANDON
SPORTS DURING WAR

In a statement recently issued, Maj.
NJ. ]. Pickering, graduate manager OF
athletics of the University of Penn
sylvania, said that the recommends
lions made by the National Collegiate
Athletic Association at its recent
meeting in Washington have been I'M
animously Endorsed by the university
authorities. There will be no prelimin-
airy football training and the football
coach will meet the candidates for
the team for the first time on Sep
TENDER 2s, the day the university
opens. There will be no training table
either for football or any other sport
while the present conditions exist and
coaching expenses will be cut to the
minimum through the enlistment of
a corps Of volunteer assistants. So
far as known Capt. Miller will be the
only. veteran member of the football
team who will return to college this
fall

COLUMBIA PLANS TO
HAVE FOOTBALL TEAM

Nelson Metcaf will have charge OF
football at Columbia again this fall
and the team should make as fair
progress as can be expected under a
one-man system with the majority OF
players not those really born to the
game. If Columbia continues inter
collegiate football as expected, it will
mark the third year under this mar
from the West. Columbia has made no
great stir under Metcalf, but the
teams have done as we'll as one could
expect with the lack of classy ma
terial and no really high interest
among the Morningside collegians.
For two years Columbia has not
played a full schedule, and this has
checked enthusiasm, no doubt. There
is prospect this year, however, of ar.
ranging eight. or nine contests, and
that will mean action every week for
the entire season.

CHAMPIONS TO COMPETE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept IL
Wars inroads on the athletic talent
of the country's young men of selec-
tive draft age may not be- felt so
much as was believed some time ago
at the Far Western track and field
championship meet to be held In
Fresno, Cal, September %. Entrance
of a number of champions and ex-
champions who have not been called
to the colors in various events is ex-
pected to offset wars drain On the
athletic field.
Among others George HORNE, for
mer worlds record holder for the
high Jump, who has been tossing hay
quite regularly and javelin now and
then on his ranch near Winton, Cal,
is said to be planning to enter the
Fresno meet.
A world record holder in low hurd-
les may be among the contestants,
Frank Foster, coach Of the Olympic
Club, San Francisco, believes some
of his men are due to break several
records at Fresno. Foster is partic-
larry enthusiastic over showing made
on Labor Day by John Norton and
Maurice Kirksey.
Norton, who holds the 220-yard low
hurdle world record, on Labor Day
established a Pacific coast record for
the 12O-yard low hurdles Of OLA 3-5.
Kirkesy, who has been out of the
game for some time, showed all kinds
of class in the Labor Day sprint
events here and, according to Foster,
is sure to be considered in the award
ing of titles at the Fresno meet.

The first game Of today's double

ness as the great pitching of Grover
Alexander for Philadelphia. Honolulu
fans well remember how this big
blonde youth can burn 'em over and
curve 'em over, for he visited Homo
lulu with the big leaguers couple
OF winters ago. Today Philadelphia
had precisely the same battery that
showed in Honolulu for the ALMA.

while Jeff Tesreau, the New York
Giant who also visited Honolulu at
that time, was in the box for the
Giants. Alexander twirled one of his
best games and while. Tesreau was
only fairly good Alexander was the
winner all the way.
In the second game Eppa Rixey, the
tall Philly southpaw, pitched against
Ferdinand Schupp, the young left
handler who has been the sensation
of the league this season. 1t was about
honors even but the Phils would have
won the game had not their catcher,
Adams, uncorked wild throw toward
second which allowed the winning run
to come across.
OutfiIder 10 Strong
In every game the New Workers are
getting men on bases and leaving them
standing there. That kind of ball
won't win a worlds series. They
have a tremendous batting: lineup, but
about every other man is failing to
hit. Heinie Zimmerman and Herzog
fall down repeatedly. George Burns,
Bonnie Kauff and Dave Robertson, the
outfield, are doing most of the hit
ting. Kauff is a real ballplayer-a
chunky little chap who can run like a
flash, is very dangerous in a pinch at
bat, throws like a shot and isn't
afraid to throw from the outfield to
any base, and seems to be the most
popular man on the New York team.
Jim Thorpe, the big Indian. is back
with the Giants and plays pretty
often, but can't win a regular berth
in this crack outfield. He saved the
second game today with a great run
ming catch but he is still inclined to
swing his head off at trick curve
balls.
If the worlds series starts in New
York, the Giants will go in about 10
to fayorites, according to the figur.

ing in local sporting circles. In Chi
oago, the sports say that the White
Sox will be even money, but New.
Workers feel sure mat McGraw will
win another worlds pennant. The
New York team figures up far better
than the Sox and If it were delivering
the goods now up to its form on
paper, it would be 2 to l favorite.
Perhaps in the next three weeks Nc
Graw can get his team hitting con-
sistently and as his pitchers are at
least as good as those Of the Sox-on
paper-the Giants will be logical ia
vorites in the big series. But-the Sox
will 60 into the series with a world
of confidence, because that's White
Sox tradition.
CThe Chicago White Sox cinched
the American league championship by
winning their game yesterday from
the Athletics at Philadelphia. They
will play the New York Giants for the
worlds championship. The first game
will probably be played on Saturday,

Of war, perhaps, without a declara-
tIon.
The difference between formal
declaration of war by Congress and
the authorization of the President
TO use the military power OF the
United States is the difference be
TWEEN tweedledum and tweedledee,
out 1t is regarded as important.
There is "a different spirit in the
government at Washington. 1t is
born Of the satisfying feeling that a
decision has been made, that there
need be no further hesitation TO act,
although there may be slowness to
act.
The fact that the President has made
up his mind probably means also the
quick sailing of the American merchant
ships. most of which have been tied to
their docks since the declaration OF the
submarine blockade. In fact, it was
said by a high Official of the govern
ment this afternoon that the difficulties
confronting the sailing of the Ameri-
can ships soon would be cleared up.
The State Department has agreed
with the Navy Department on a plan
which is believed to be practicable
whether it means conveying or arm.
ing the ships cannot be said now. But
It means action.
So far Germany, by means of her
reign of terror on the seas, has ac-
ouired all possible military advan-
