More Air

ISSUED Tuesday from the Office of DR.
l.. u. Bristol, the State health com
missioner:
More Air
More fresh air in the schoolroom
and the office and the home will ma
terially decrease the number of colds,
according to the State Department of
Health. Most sickness comes in win
ter and one great reason for this is
the tendency to give up the outdoor
life when the weather is cold. When
people are shut up together in air
tight houses they can easily exchange
infections. as it were. and with the re-
duced vitality which indoor life occa
sions there is little to stop the spread
of colds and other ailments.
The slogan of More Fresh Air"
means different things to different
people: to some it means getting out
Of doors for a limited time during the
day and then getting back to the air.
tight compartment again: TO others
More Fresh Air" means the letting of
outdoor air into the living and sleep
ing rooms; to still others. More Fresh
Air" means a combination of outdoor
life and of perfect ventilation in the
home and Office. TO these latter. the
slogan becomes a daily guard against
| infection and illness.
Germs and Germans
The rerms that undermine the
health OF American communities are
allies of the Germans. A war on the
autocracy of the Germans is necessary
to the future OF democracy A war on
the treacherous authority of the germs
! is as necessary to the future welfare Of
America. The State Department of
Health has uttered the death sentence
that marks the approaching doom of
germdom in Maine just as the Milliken
, regiment has joined in uttering the
death sentence of autocracy in Ger
many. Both sentences may take time
to carry out. But in both cases the
people have spoken and the work will
be done.
The State Department of Health of
! Maine is giving publicity to health
creed issued for the boys and girls of
Massachusetts by the State Depart
mcnt of Health in Boston. The creed
is as follows:
MY BODY is THE TEMPLE OF MY.
Therefore:
] will keep my body clean within
and without
| will breathe pure air and | will
live in the sunlight
| will do no act that might en-
danger the health of others
| will try to learn and practice the
rules of healthy living.
l will work and rest and play at
the right time and in the right way
so that my mind will be strong and
my body healthy and so that | will
lead a useful life and be an honor to
my parents. to my friends and to my
country.

HEAVY SCHEDULE FOR
TOME SCHOOL RUNNERS

Port Deposit. Md. April 6.-Outdoor
track practice is receiving a great deal
of attention at the Tome School during
these first days of the spring term. The
indoor season. although not producing
any stars, uncovered some excellent
men. The outdoor schedule this year is
a very heavy one and is the hardest
attempted at Tome in some years. To
start the new season, however. Coach
Green will have the services of Capt.
Robert Bradford. who runs both the
high and low sticks and the quarter
mile: William Baker. an excellent
miller; Wrightson Tolson. a valuable
weight man and a promising middle
distance runner; Baldwin Spillman, a
high jumper. and Hardesty, a good
dash man. From the new men. Prid-
more, a sterling quarter-miler and
dash man and hurdler; Brock. a
sprinter; Goldsmith. another sprinter.
and the Clark brothers, have all re-
ported and have been working daily.
The outdoor schedule is as follows:
April 81, New York University
meet, New York; April 90, Penn Re
lay. Philadelphia; May 6. Maryland
state College. Washington. D. C: May
10, Princeton interscholastics. Trenton,

GONZAGA CLUB STARTS
SEASON WITH VICTORY

The Gonzaga baseball team has to
date played two games, one with the
Central High School and one with
Eastern. and the outlook OF the team
appears very promising
From last years club GonZaga has
six veterans in Ford. Greene, Ring,
Dyser, and Costello. Ford, the main
stay of Gonzaga last year, is doing
the bulk of the pitching. while Collins,
Wilson. and Morris, of extraordinary
ability, are to assist IN the slab work
Sullivan and Murray are doing the
receiving. Greene. captain of the
squad. is holding down the initial
sack. In the infield are Ralph, Duffy,
Dyser. and McCann. Ring, Costello, and
Frank will be found In the outer gar
den.
With the players now listed with
the Coinage team they look forward
to giving the local AS well as schools
in the vicinity a hard run for the long
end of the score.

COACHES NOW HANDY
FOR OUR UNCLE sam
Athletic Trainers May Be Commission
ed BY Government During Wartime.

Philadelphia, Pa. April 6.-Though in
the present crisis the athletic coach ap-
pears to be person OF very little use
he's likely to turn out to be a mighty
handy man to have around before the
piping times of peace come to the world
again. England, in her task of harden
Ing her army of possibly 100000 men,
has found men equipped to improve the
physical condition of the British SOL
diers among the most valuable Of those
who have sought to aid their country b.
doing auxiliary work of the actual fight
Ing line.
In England the fellows who train the
thousands Of soldier competitors for their
sports are rated as ''nOnComs." but while
their rank Is minor one, these men have
everything to say regarding the actions
of the men while on the sport field and
are generally looked uPon with as much
respect as are commissioned officers.
In the event of a cessation of inter-
collegiate sports following the expected
war declaration dozens of athletic coaches
will not exactly be out OF jobs, they will
have little to do in their line
The suggestion has been made. and
wisely, that the government commission
these men and station them at the vari-
Gus training camps TO supervise the
athletic work that will be carried on in
connection with the training of Uncle
SANS new. soldiers. There is every rea-
son to believe that this scheme would
work out admirably
The soldiers would naturally take more
interest in their sports if they were di-
rected by men who knew their business
thoroughly, and the coaches. too, would
feel that in working with the army they
will be doing their bit for the cause.

TENER SAYS LEAGUES
WILL NOT Be CLOSED
Major Circuit Games Will Be Conduct
ed on Business Plans During Strife.

New York, April 6.-with the nation
poised on the threshold Of the world
strife. organized baseball Is sitting tight
and awaiting developments. The officials
who control the sport. so far as the major
leagues are concerned. will be governed
in their actions entirely by what the fu-
ture brings forth. At this time their pol
icy Is one of watchful waiting.
According to John K. Tener, president
OF the National League. the game will be
conducted like any other business in time
of strife. Too much money has been in
vested in the pastime to close up the
maio: league ball parks unless circum-
stances compel.
There also are many players who de-
pend upon their earnings on the diamond
for support and their contracts cannot be
rCpUdiated. But if conditions demand 1t
bats and balls will be put away for the
rifle and organized baseball will march
forth to do its share in the battle for
civilization.
We have made no definite arrange
mcnts for the conduct of baseball after
the United states becomes involved de-
Clared Mr.. Tener. But baseball is ready
to do its share in the crisis. We will run
the MAJOR leagues like any other business.
Unless II becomes actually necessary for
the country to abandon sports we expect
TO continue throughout the season. How
ever we will he governed entirely by

MORAN REFUSES TO
LET PHILLES PLAY
Game Between Quakers and Nationals
at Norfolk Called Off.

Norfolk. Va, April 6.-After League
Park was partly filled with fans who had
)ourneyed out to witness the scheduled
contest between the Senators and Phillies
this afternoon, Manager Pat Moran. of
me touakers, arrived on the scene, gave
the neld the once-over, and declared that
ne would not permit his stars to risk a
leg or neck on the slippery, muddy
ground
george Mcbride. in charge of the Ma
tlonals, appeared to be In a quasi-recep-
i've mood, and in all likelihood would
nave consented to play had the Phila-
deiphia manager deigned to do so. At
any rate all the Kings horses and all the
kings men could not drag a smile OF
condescension to Moran's visage, and the
game was called off because of wet
grounds.
" had ceased to rain last night at SOB
U clock. and with a stiff wind blowing.
combined with the efforts of the Norfolk
riuo to get the grounds into shape there
was every reason TO believe that the
lnter-League clash would eventuate. At
the Monticello Hotel this morning the
management of both big league teams
assured the Virginia Leaguers that every
thing was in ship-shape order and to
dispeil every doubt the visitors were
asked to inspect the grounds and to con-
vince themselves. They did not feel it
necessary with the above result
Moran appeared to be indignant over
the condition of the field. just as IL the
Norfolk management had not been
solicitous in the first place by, asking his
opinion. The attitude of the Senators
lacked this rampant spirit.
Both teams put in IS minutes Of prac-
tice and the fans, to whom the price of
admittance was returned. got something
for their trip.
'Mollie" Craft and Rice of the Sena-
tors. and Rixie Mayer and ''Stringbean''

greeted by the folks who had seen them
performing in other than the custo-
merry of the big tent.
The Bugs" were all Of the opinion
that Craft has been taught how to i'm
part speed to his delivery. Its a faster
ball that the local favorite exhibited to-
day than he ever produced while on the
Norfolk club.
In spite of Moran's concern over the
members Of his squad. he did not hesitate
to let his players bat the ball around the
infeld. All the more remarkable since
Pat had claimed in stentorian tones that
not alone could the field not be played on
but even walked upon. Both the Senators
and Phillies left tonight for Washington.
