After watching the noble athletes l in action yesterday at Newheid park

IARSEN'S HIGH JUMPING
 FEATURE OF ATHLETIC
 MEET. AT PENNSYLVANIA

New York. April S0-The University of Pennsylvaniare relay carnival on Fri day and Saturday of last week mark cd the beginning and the end of com petitive track athletics in the Eastern colleges this year on anything like the old scale. Where in other years the relays have been the real beginning of tho outdoor college track season, this spring saw none of the Eastern colleges of the first class represented, and tl1e few secondary Institutions which accepted the invitation of Penn sylvania to follow their accustomed plans and send teams to the big meet responded poorly both ass to the big meet and quality.
 The high jumping of Larsen of Brigham Young University, the record breaking race run by the Pennsylva- mia freshman relay team, and the phenomenal performances of Howard Berry in the two days carnival were the outstanding features. In fact, they were the only features, for not one of the championship relays was run in anything that even approached record time.
 Larsen, the Utah high jumper, more than lived up to the fondest expecta- lions of tie Pennsylvania authorities, who went to deal of trouble to have him come East. Tn hiS first exhibition In the East, Larsen did far better than Alma Richards, who originally came from Brigham Young, bursting upon the athletic horizon as a really good jumper In the spring Of 1912. just in time to be chosen for the 1913 Olympic team, Larsen is a much bet ter jumper than Richards was when the big Cornell man first came out of tho West.

BAKER DECLARES
 TANKS WILL GET
 INTO STRIDE SOON

New York, April 30-'This team, !" said J. Franklin Baker yesterday as he strolled down upper Broadway taking the air, "has never yet this season shown it's real strength" '-This team" was the Yankees "No, sir" continued the man with the punch. we have not shown our real hitting strength at any time.''
 What about the outfield? Do you think it can hit?"
 "Yes. I do. High and Gi1hooley are not hitting, but they can hit much better than they're doing We know that to be so, because they hit lots better last year. Magee has done good hitting in other years and that's the best evidence that he'll get go- ing. The only thing there is to go by in regard to a mans hitting is what he has done. No, sir,. the real strength of this team has not been shown yet. Ours is no mean chance to finish in front. If we're strong enough to stay up there the first part of the season you can bet we'll be strong enough to do it the last part"

 AS regards his pugilistic plans for the immediate future, he has none that are definite. He is ready to box the first man the public demands that he should meet, but personally I don't think-and neither does Jess-that there is a, man in the ring today that could give him a battle.
 Another thing that must be con. sidered when talk is made of bout with Willard in it is the amount of money that would be attracted to the exhibition. Take Morris, for, instance He couldn't draw enough to make a bout between himself and Willard a profitable venture, and, as far as box ing ability is concerned, he does not begin to compare, with Jess.
 We have a three weeks clause in our contract with the circus people, which means that we are ready to jump; into battle any time a suitable offer is made. If Fulton had been successful in his bout with Morris it is possible that he might have been matched with Willard, for there seemed to be some demand for Will lard-Eulton bout.

New York, April 30.-Jess Willard, worlds heavyweight boxing champion, who at present is giving his undivided attention and services to the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show and Circus, got into New York yesterday morning at 8 o'clock at the head of the circus paraphernalia, cowboys, Indian war rfors and sQuaws, bareback riders. and everything needed to stage a rep resentation of the wild and woody in its widest and wooliest days. The big Kansan will remain hereabouts for one week, while the aggregation plays over at Washington, Park,e Brooklyn, which site formerly housed the Brook lyn Federal league baseball team.

ZIMMERMAN TOLD
 TO PAY DEBT TO.
 OLD CLUB MATE

Chicago, April 30-Heinie Zimmer- man, third baseman of the Giants, borrowed $75 from Pete Knisely, a former Cub outfielder, some time ago, and neglected to settle his obligation. That is Zimmerman would have paid it, but for the war. The war, oddly enough, has affected some folks fi- pancial resources.
 Yesterday the National League au- thorities promulgated the startling intelligence that unless the Giant third baseman satisfied Knisely's claim they would be forced to suspend him. Zimmerman, it is now understood, will settle the debt some time in the inn mediate future. He incurred the ob- ligation when he was a Cub.

YALE Vs. HARVARD SERIES

It appears now that Yale and liar ward are sorry. they were so hasty in calling off athletic contests Already negotiations have started for a re- sumption of relations between the two universities this season. There is some talk of arranging baseball one game to be played in New Haven and the other in Cambridge. If the teams meet the receipts will be turn ed over to the Red Cross. The Yale players have disbanded but it would be an easy matter for them to re- sume practice.
 Doc More, the pitcher, who was with Springfield a few years ago and later went to Portland, Me-, will not report to the Maine club this season.
 President Dan O'Neil of the East ern league has not yet announced his umpires The only news that leaked out is that all the old staff, includ- ing Mutt Waters, will be released. None will be missed.
 Hartford was scheduled to start practice today and New Haven gets under way tomorrow. Bridgeport has a weeks start on the other clubs and should have big advantage in the matter of condition when the sea- son opens.
 It looks as if baseball will have a big year in this city. Although the air was chilly yesterday afternoon a crowd of about 1000 turned out to see Bridgeport battle with Jersey City at Newfield park.

GOING To CALL OUT
NATIONAL GUARD
ENTIRE FORCE WILL BE IN THE FEDERAL SERVICE
BY FIFTH Of AUGUST
Press)
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, July 10.-President
Wilson has issued a proclamation
which calls for the drafting of the en-
tire National Guard of the country
into the United States army begin
ming with August 5th, 1917. The reg
iments will be called out for active
service on August 5th, however.
Prior to the application of the draft
of the National Guard on August 9Th
the regiments in the northern and
eastern sections of the country will
be called into federal service as ma
tional guardsmen in two increments.
They will be modified on July 18th
and 25th. The guard from other
states will be modified the day of
the draft. This arrangement is made
necessary to provide for the move
ment of the troops from the South to
the concentration camps.
The day for drafting all in at one
time was delayed until August 5th so
that all regiments will be taken in
simultaneously so as to avoid equal
tiles.

Jacksonville, July 10.-The two
great universities of Florida, one for

for men, at Gainesville, recognized
the country over as two of the golden
dozen of higher educational institu-
tions in America, are in a good way
to be head-over-heels in politics for

that his resignation would be accept
able because he had stated that he
would not vote for any man who ever
sold liquor for chairman of board
having charge of a girls college and
because he was leaning toward Kel-
lum in place of Bryan Mack, who was
slated for position, it is said.
He handed in his resignation and
left for Pensacola Saturday night.

pointed in Armstrong; place.
The board met yesterday in Jack

have voted for Armstrong for chair
man and let Pensacola continue to
have that honor and Armstrong would
have voted to take care of Kellum. 1t
was finally agreed between members
of the board that they would pay both
Kellum and Mack $1,000 each.

FOOLED THE FISHERMEN
Promising Looking Cask Proved to be
a Mine Which Tore Them
to Pieces
ASSOCIATED Press)

Galway, Ireland, June 30.-(Cor-
resepondence)-Nine Galway fisher
men were blown to pieces a few days
ago while examining German "bar-
rel mine" which they had found at
sea and towed ashore.
Irish fishermen have made lately a
great many lucky hauls of barrels
containing petrol, tallow, oils and
similar treasures, supposedly from
torpedoed ships. This time they saw
a promising looking barrel afoat
some distance from land, with a con-
venient handle on each side, and they
promptly towed it ashore, rolling it
up the beach for examination.
Four men were in the boat, and six
more gathered around while the prize
was on the beach. One man, Joseph
Joseph O'Flaherty, had suspicion OF
danger, and warned the others, but
they paid no attention to him, and he
hid himself behind a rock.
One of the fishermen removed g
couple of screws from the head Of
the barrel, and then began to pull out
piece of cord. The explosion which
followed was heard miles away, anc
shook houses four miles distant.
After a time O'Flaherty, who haC
been wounded in the head with E
piece of stone, stood up, but not {
trace of the mine or the men was tC
be seen. There was only great hole
in the beach. Searchers found {
portion of the fishermen's boat nearly
mile away. A small boy whose at
tention was attracted to the group o.
men on the shore was running to
ward them just as the mine exploded
| One of his arms was afterward
found near his home, but there wa
| no other trace of him.

TOUGH ON THE TEUTONS
Ill Treatment of Dutch Fishermen
Reacts on the German
People
(Asseciated Press)

Ymuiden, Netherlands, June 3d.
(Correspondence).-For many hap
less boatload of submarine victims in
the North Sea the laying up of the
big Ymuiden and Vlaardingen fishing
fleets is calculated to have vital con-
sequences. Their chances of saliva
tion, at any rate so far as a very wide
area of that sea is concerned, now
virtually has been restricted to the
finding of lghtship, to making land
or being picked up by the compara-
lively rare passing steamship or oc-
casional warship squadron. What the
absence of these fishing craft must
mean may be judged from the fact
that since the proclamation of the
sharpened submarine war alone more
than 200 such victims have been land
ed at Ymuiden by fishing vessels
seamen of all nationalities, but most
ly belonging to neutral nations, who
had been found drifting in open boats
on the high seas. The total thus
saved since the outbreak of the war is
more than 600.
Despite the German governments
assurances respecting the safety OF
neutral fishing craft in certain pre-
scribed parts of the North Sea, a
number of Dutch trawlers and other
fishing boats have been ruthlessly de-
stroyed and others taken into Ger
man ports, with the result that the
fishermen resolved to suspend THEN
operations and sent two deputations
to Berlin on the subject. The recent
action is really most harmful to Ger.
many's own vital interests in view OF
the food scarcity prevailing there
seeing that the German markets are
thereby robbed of their trainloads OF
fish from Holland and thousands OF
Geremans of comparatively cheaI
and nourishing food.
