The boys marched with irregular step. They did not follow in detail the in- struction of their file closers, veterans of the Spanish American war. But they were of strong appearance. They walked erect. They were apparently proud that they had met the require ments of the government. and were judged fit to fight the Kaiser.

New York, September 23.-Chicago ciinched the American league pennant Friday but the New York Nationals still have one more game to win be- fore the 1917 National league flag Is theirs beyond dispute. Today both leading teams were idle. the White Box being in the east, and the Giants not having game scheduled.
 It was fitting that Clarence Rowland should win his first major league cham pionship from the club which has been Chicagos strongest opponent the Red Sox. It was on their home grounds that the 191 champions finally fell before the White Sox. The game was hard fought and 1t took the new champions 10 innings to overcome Boston by to score. From now on the Chicago players can get into condition for the great series against New York, the first time that teams representing the two largest cities in the country have met in the baseball classic.
 WEEK WITH WHITE SOX
 Beginning the week by refeating St. Louis in 10 innings, the White Sox met Philadelphia in three games, winning two. The one defeat was due to wild throw by Leibold in the ninth inning. Then came the first game of the final series with Boston and the Red Sox lost it and the White Sox gained the pen nant. Saturday Rowlands men took things easy and the Red Sox won, to l. Previous to Friday Boston had lost three straight to Detroit. The defeats were of great assistance to Chicago.
 Cleveland set the pace in the Ameri- can league last week by winning all of it's seven games. The Indians have been going very well recently, but there is little chance of overhauling Boston. Detroit triumphed in five out of six Washington early in the week took fifth place from New York and finished the week in that position, the Yankees losing six out of seven. In the National league New York began It's final tn- tersectional games against Chicago on Monday and in three games was vic- torious twice. The Giants had strenu- ous battle with Pittsburg, the hardest l worked team in the league last week. !! The first game went 10 innings to a | to g tie.

coacn or Washington and Jefferson AS our educational institutions are
 opening let us lay aside football for
 the moment and give attention to a far
 broader athletic problem, one of na
 tional concern. It deals with athletics
 Tor all and means much toward our
 national physical fitness It does not
 mean the abolition either of intercol- legiate athletics or of physical culture or the calisthenic sort. Rather 1t re-
 rers to happy blending of the best of each for all undergraduates
 mere Is no more important problem before our educators It has been brought to public attention because of the war, but 1t applies as well to times or peace The war, for one thing. may see 1t solved but as it's solution costs money the war, for another thing, may hinder Its march for economic reasons.
 Athletics for all" has been as mis- used cloak by educators as has the Stars and Stripes by politicians. The former, who may rant about intercol legiate sport and attack 1t because few receive its benefits shout forth the slogan Athletics for allp and-then sit down. Their constructive reason ing Is as shallow as was that of Marie Antoinette who, upon learning that the French revolutionary mob demanded bread. inquired why Its members did not eat cake. It is this group western college athletic officials are now deal Ing with, men who advocate the aboli- ton of intercollegiate athletics during war with the thought back in their heads that once eliminated they will be ended.
 WANTS STUDENTS INTERESTED
 Recently the writer talked over the plans that the athletic authorities of the Pennsylvania State college are hoping to carry out for getting all students into athletics with the gradu- ate manager of it's association Ray H. smith. Ray Smith Is broad in that lic sees good in our present Intensive intercollegiate athletics system IS well as in our compulsory scheme of physi- cal education of the calisthenc kind. He sees the need of an educational athletic system to include all stu dents which not only blends the two but has the support of educational hends and students alike. The Penn State idea has fine chance for suc- cess because 1t meets with the support of Edwin H. Sparks, its president, as well as of it's athletic coaches.
 State college has already set aside an 80-acre field fro the purpose of carrying out it's plan, but 1t Is up against wartime economy. Its plan Is used as an example here because the institution is a land grant college. sup ported in part by state and what ever 1t succeeds in doing will apply more universally than like result at a privately endowed institution. Fur thermore, Penn State is taking a lead in this work which others may do well tc follow.
 Ray Smith thinks that intercollcgi- ate atheletics are sort of collage ap pendix, as they have been developed and are now controlled almost solely by students and alumni. The object Is to win games. Educators have lit tie to do with intercollegiate sport He sees no harm in all this and is in- clined to praise intercollegiate sport because those who enjoy it not only

NATURES BosLINs

In the Salt River valley, Arizona, nature has assembled all the re- quirements for rebuilding health and renewing energy. Here are dry air, sunshine, proper altitude, nour- ishment, pleasant surroundings. Here has nature perfected a mild and balmy climate with an even temperature and at an altitude of only HOO feet, with a dryness of atmosphere equalled by few locali- ties and excelIed by none other in the world.
 The Salt River valley is protected from all cold winds by high noun tain ranges to the north and east, with the Sierra Nevada and coast ranges to the west. From the south the valley. .s receives a sufficient shelter from a short spur of low lying hills. The Gulf of California, though distant about one hundred so miles to the south and west, ex- erts a beneficial influence through it's prevailing warm winds and ocean currents. Here is a locality with tropical advantages with none of the disadvantages, humidity and malaria, which are usually asso- ciated with tropical countries.
