Garry Wants the Eighteen

Members OF the national commits
sion can't agree upon the proper
method of conducting baseball dur

ment between Garry Hermann. pres

chairman of the commission, and B.
B. johnson, of the American league.
Mr.. Hermann wants to cut the
limit Of players to a club to Is and
retrench and Mr. Johnson declines
to stand for the display of one bit
OF economy in the way Of trimming

Tener. of the National league. so far
has displayed a hands off policy.

OF the game was being cheapened.
He wants to go down with colors
flying IL he does go down. But he
has no idea that baseball will be in
jured during the world war.
The president of the American
league again seems to hold the whip
hand. The National leaguers may
trim il they desire. OF course. and
no one can stop them, but they could
scarcely afford to carry only IS play

up for the coming football season.
Prior to the presidents announce
ment there was little hope held forth
by the sponsors of football that the
great college game would be able to
flourish this fall.
With hundreds of college foot
hall players nockinG to the col
ors and the student bodies OF ali

which occupied most of the time
they had free from the pursuance
of their studies, Indulgence in
football was not looked for ex-
cept on n small scale.
But now all is changed The presi-
dent Of our country has recommended
that the undergraduates at our
schools and colleges keep up their
sports as usual, reminding them that
'-our young men must be made physi-
cally fit in order that they may take
the place of those now of military
age. and exhibit the vigor and alert
ness which we are proud to believe
to be characteristic of America"
Since the president issued his state

collegiate football season in both
east and west as usual While many
star players will be missing from the
lineups, the oncomtng crop Of grid

the teams, and with the strong hold
that football has on the sport loving
public the game viii not lose IN pop

College sports Of all sorts were in
bad way before the president came
TO their rescue with his timely and
welcome suggestions College ath-
letes. almost to a man. led the way
for the vast army Of undergraduates
in hundreds of schools throughout
the country.
The military spirit swept over
our Institutions OF learning in
great and powerful wave Sports
were dropped, drills taken mp and
athletic schedules cancelled. Sports
In so far as the colleges were
concerned, were dying n slow
death. More than so per cent OF
the students in all schools rose
TO support the cOlOrs in one way
or another.
Though the stars in all branches Of
college sports will be missing, the
way is opened now for a continuance
Of sports and new and enthusiastic
army of college athletes will be up

To Organize Trap Leagues President Favors Meets

~OMPETITION in one form OF an
other has done more TO popular
~ ize sport than any other one
factor.
It is the spirit of -eompetition- that
adds zest to a contest and makes it
more interesting to participants and
spectators alike. This applies both
to contests between individuals and
teams
A college football squad at prac-
tice attracts very little attention, ex-
cept from a few loyal students, but
on the day OF the Yale Harvard game
il is almost impossible to buy a seat
for the scrimmage- II is the desire
TO see the strength and strategy OF
one team matched against that Of
the other which attracts the crowd
The same principle applies to base
ball. 1t is the big league games that
attract the most people, because in
them competition is the keenest- The
result of one game places the club
nearer the coveted pennant or fur
Their away from il.
Although the clubs in the worlds
series for some years have been OF
the east, Just as much interest Is
evidenced in the result throughout
the west.
IL Is the battle Tor supremacy
that has been the incentive OF
contestants In every match Of
skill or strength. since the time
of the old EIadiatOriaI contests.
Every sport since has owed its
success to some form of eOmpeu-
tfon, and because of this cOmpeti-
tive spirit sports OF all kinds
have been made interesting ana
attractive to all
Trapshooters realizing that their
sport could be made even more popu-
lar by introducing the element OF
competition among gun clubs or
ganized trapshooters' leagues con-
sisting of from three to II clubs each-
The result has been that the CLUB
members are now deriving more
pleasure and a greater incentive for
concentrated effort through the me-
dunn Of friendly competition

ing leagues in existence could De
