AVIATORS TO
HAVE TRAINER
Physical Culture Expert Of
College World to Be with
Aeroplane- Squads.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Every aero
plane squadron in the immense
fleet to serve Uncle Sam will have
an expert physical trainer to
guarantee the fitness of f,its flyers.
according to a plan which gained
decided impetus today, at the meet
ing of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association in the Hotel
Astor.
Walter Camp. the Yale veteran,
representing Raymond 3. Fosdick,
who heads the Naval Board of
Athletics, came to the meeting to
ask permission of the delegates to
negotiate with the trainers of their
respective universities and received
unanimous consent.
There should be a trainer with
every squadron to look after the
aviators," said Mr.. Camp. 1T is
particularly necessary to have a
trainer who will tell the squadron
commander about the physical con-
dition Of the men and will pre-
vent sending up for aerial flights
aviators who are not entirely fit
or are temporarily indisposed. An
aviator, just as a football player,
will confide in the trainer, but not
the commander. In both cases they
avoid telling the coach they are
in bad shape; they are afraid of be-
ing considered yellow. An aviator's
physical fitness is more important
than that of any other man in the
military scheme, Mr.. Camp pointed
out, due to the disaster that might
result from the slightest false
movement of a lever.
Il have talked with DR.. ]. E.
Raycroft. member of. the War De-
partment Commission on training
activities" he continued, "and Z
believe the plan can be financed, II
not out of the Fosdick commission
funds. through private subscription.
"But 1 want to go further. I
want to ask the authorities of the
colleges here present permission to
approach their trainers-men like
lawson Robertson. Dohovan of
Harvard. Fitzpatrick of Princeton,
Mack Of Yale and a number of
others. Will you let US have them?"
A chorus OF YES" answered him.
That was what he came to
achieve, and after the meeting he
returned to Washington to gec
busy on the administration of the
scheme.

MAGNATES ARE
NOW PUZZLED
Government Control oi
Railroads May Interfere
with Training Trips.

Chicago, Dec. S.-Oficials Of the two
major league baseball clubs of this
city today discussed the probable ef-
feet government control of the rail-
roads would have on spring training
trips and the regular schedule of
games during the season.
While radical changes are looked
for by the baseball men in handling
the teams on the part OF the railroads,
1t was said that the new order of
things would not seriously disarrange
plans Of the Chicago Nationals TO con-
dition in Pasadena. Cal, or curtail
the training trip of the White Sox In
Texas.
Railroad traffic officials who are in
terested in baseball pointed out that
the players may experience some in
conveniences on long journeys. as the
number of passenger trains and sleep
ing cars in all probability would be
reduced and in many instances dining
being substituted.
The question Of rates was discussed,
but no one was able to say whether
the teams would continue to receive
the benefit OF party rates Of would be
compelled to pay the full tariff.
II do not ehink the spring training
trips will be interfered with to any
great extent" said Ban Johnson, pres
ident OF the American League. "As
for comforts, the players should not
complain. They are not travelling in
Pullmans back of the trenches"
Mr.. johnson said August Hermann,
chairman of the National Commission.
would be here next Monday, and the
new method of dividing among the
clubs the money derived from the
worlds series would be announced at
that time.

PRES. TENER
REFUNDS FINES
National League Executive
Uses Honor System to
Stamp Out Rowdyism.

New York, Dec. 2S-The honor sys-
tenn Of handling rowdyism on the ball
field was tried out by President Tener.
OF the National League. last season
and the experiment was successful
Tener admitted yesterday that he had
refunded at the end OF the season the
fines OF three players guilty OF offen-
sive tactics on the diamond after the
players had lived down the offense."
The players placed on their honor
were Catchers Hank Gowdy and WAL
ter Tragesser, OF the Braves, and
Catcher Bill Kilhfer. Of Philadelphia,
recently sold to Chicago. These play
ers were punished early In the season,
but their fines were remitted at the
end Of the season after they had given
their personal pledge to Tener not to
repeat the offense All three players
visited Tener after fines had been plas-
tered on them to tell their side OF the
story and in each case Tener agreed
to remit the fine to the player pro-
vided there would be no fresh out
burst on his part
II am proud TO say that not one OF
these boys violated the confidence I
had placed in them" said Tener.' Il
had a heart-to- heart talk with each
and we thoroughly understood each
other. I might say that so far only
one player has taken advantage Of
me after I decided to be lenient with
him.
Remission Of q fine to an offend
ing player often does more than to
let II stand. Ine remission in many
cases makes quite an impression
on the player. He knows the lea
que is inclined to deal squarely
with him and he Is in honor bound
not to repeat his offense.
There are some players with
whom the system would not work.
but I believe they are in the min
ority. Nothing makes an impress
sion on such players but q heavy
penalty, and penalties act as a club
to keep the player within bounds.
But on the whole I have found
that leniency, IL it is not misunder-
stood as weakness, has brought
about splendid results.
President Hampstead. of the
Giants. who mas been absent from
the city since the recent National
League meeting. was back at his
desk at Giant headquarters yester-
day. Hampstead began today to
tackle the job of contracts for next
season. Contracts must be sent to
all members of last years team
with the exception of Zimmerman
and Herzog. The contracts, how
ever, will not be sent out until the
latter part of next month.
While most clubs will use the ak
on their salaries next season, the
Giants on the whole will escape q
great reduction. 1t usually is con-
sjdered poor policy to cut salaries
directly after a team wins a pen
nant. The fate Of the Brooklyn
club in 1917 is shining example.
Some of the veteran members of
the team, who have slowed up
since the fat days of the Federal
League, must accept cuts. Such
salaries will be reduced because of
the declining efficiency Of the
player rather than as a war policy.

AN APPEAL FOR
BALL PLAYERS

Chicago. Dec 2s.-The British-Ca-
madam recruiting mission today issued
an official appeal to baseball players
to enlist because of their natural
adaptability to grenade throwing.
Baseball players can do better at
grenade throwing han any other
men," says a bulletin ISSUED by re-
cruiting officers. I'VE can train or
binary men for this service, but this
is an age Of specification, and ball
players are better fitted to become
grenade throwers than any other class
of men,"
