NO DEFINITE ACTION
ON 1918 FOOTBALL

New York, July 5.-Although a ma
jority of the eastern colleges which will
support football during the coming au-
tumn have completed their piayine
schedules, no definite action in this di.
rection has been taken by Harvard
Princeton or Yale. The situation is still
being discussed in an informal way by
both graduate and faculty representa-
tives, but no concrete program is likely
to be announced for some times
That the prospects for the RESUMPTION
or the game at these larger institutions
are improving is indicated by a report
that football may be played, though up-
on a restricted basis. 1t Is said that the
proposal has been made to limit practice
TO not more than two or three sessions
week with a game scheduled for everv
other Saturday. If this agreement
should be adopted not more than six
games would be played in the 1918 sea
son, during which each of the big
Three" elevens would play the other two
teams forming the triangular league.

London, July 5.
In the baseball game that was a fea

defeated the army by score of to |
at the Chelsea football grounds.
The day was a perfect one for base
ball. A huge crowd greeted the roval
party when it arrived. In addition to
thousands of American soldiers and
sailors there were many British and
Canadian officers and men in the grand
stand. The stand also sheltered Admiral
Sims, General Biddle and other Amer
leans of prominence. together with
Lieutenant General Jan Christian SHUTS,

to King George before the game.
Herb Pennock. formerly an American
League pitcher for the Philadelphia Ath-
letics and the Boston Red Sox. twirIed
for the victors, He held the army team
pretty nearly helpers throughout the
game.
King George was an interested spec.
tator, and clapped his hands repeatedly,
although his roofing could not equal in
righteousness that of the thousands of
jackies and Sammies in the stand.
King George followed the game closely
and enjoyed it thoroughly At the close
he turned to Admiral Sims and General
Biddle and expressed the hope that he
might be able to see many games before
the summer was over. Before the game
the King walked out on the field and
shook hands with Umpire Arlie Latham
and the captains Of the army and navy
teams.
1t had been planned 10 have the King
throw out the first ball, but this was
abandoned because of the netting in
front of the royal box. so the King
brought the ball out on the field and
handed 1t to the umpire. One of the
balls used was autographed by the King
with an American fountain pen and
mailed to President Wilson as a souvenir
of the game.

A HOLIDAY throng. one that packed

saw veteran Elmer Collins, Of Newark,
y. j., pedal his way to a clean-cut
triumph In the forty mile motorpaced
race at the Point Breeze motordrome

colonel great admirer of the vet

the receipts to witness the big race and
see the thirty-eight-year-od wonder

van Collins was a champion in 1900.
III was a great night for the race and
me long grind was run CT with only
one slight mishap. The PAGERS had their
motors in good working order and the
well-oiled engines hummed smoothly as
they buzzed around the saucer-like track.
Rody Lehman. Swiss sensation who
paced many winners in European cir
cults, scored his second win in four
starts when he led Collins over the line
winner. He and Jimmy Hunter now
are tied.
Breaks With Collins
Everything went smoothly for the aged
cycle hero Collins. In the draw for pace
maker he had the first choice and with
out any hesitancy selected Lehman. Paul
Sutter, another Swiss athlete, failed to
get his countryman, Lehman, but as he
had second choice he quickly named
Hunter Frank Corri, Australian repre-
sentative. called upon Norman Ander-
son to act as a windshield, while Percy
Lawrence depended upon Speedy Van
derberry to pilot him to the front
Corri was the first to get his pace and
ing let up for eight miles. Then the severe
st4ain began to demand its toll. He let
down and when he did the always chal-
lenging Lawrence shot into the lead.
Corri was in second position with Col
lins one-half lap in the rear of the lead
er. Sutter was last. Collins passed Corri
In the fourteenth mile and from this
point on it was a fight between Collins
and Lawrence.
Suffer Has Tire Trouble
Just about the time Sutter began to
grow dangerous. due to the careful pac-
ing of Jimmy Hunter. he developed tire
trouble. and before he changed bicycles
he had lost three laps. Hunter began
to burn up space and carried his man
around the disk at a dizzy pace. He cut
down one lap On Corri but failed to
make any gain on the now fast going
Collins and Lawrence.
Going into the nineteenth mile Collins
now on high speed sped along the upper
part of the track. successfully challenged
Lawrence. broke the deadlock, and from
this stage until the finish always was in
front Lehman carried his man along
steadily. and at the thirty-sixth mile
gained one lap on Lawrence The latter
had one lap on Corri, with Sutter three
laps behind the leader. This same order
remained at the end of the race The
time was 54.O3 4-5.

great exodus from chaotic Russia, largely OF
Jews, has already begun and it creates domestic
proposition of the largest dimensions.
The Jew Is wanderer but he demands stable
government, and the uncertainties about the gov
ernments of most European countries naturally
make our government, established for over CEN
tury, especially attractive to him, and he is un-
doubtedly coming to us, sooner or later by
the scores of thousands.
Our proposition-and it is tremendous one
is to turn this Jewish immigration to agriculture
and horticulture. To permit it to pack the lower
quarters of the cities certain danger TO our
institutions and criminal negligence toward the inn
migrants.
The Poles, as we'll as the native Russians, have
long abused the Jews denying them political rights,
right of land ownership and most all other privi-
leges promotive of good citizenship. We want to
make these incoming people good Americans. The
best quickest way is to make them home owners,
or the beginnings OF such.
We have big financial machine for the loaning
of money on easy payments. California, alone, has
enough untitled, arabic land to supply with farms,
ranches and gardens all the immigrants that can
get over from Russia in a decade Our problem
is to skilfully apply resources to those citizens
in the raw and it is too early to seriously be-
