BAKER AGAIN
WINS FEATURE
Local international Champion
Defeats Large Field in Feat
ure 1,000-yd Run

Homer Baker, the local internal
tional half-mile champion. continued
his winning streak at the Thirteenth
Regiment Armory in Brooklyn last
night by outfooting a big field n
capturing the 1000 yard handicap
race. the feature event of the evening.
Baker, flying the colors of the Gill
Hspie A. c., again started from the
scratch mark and finished in the ex-
~ceptionally fast time OF two minutes
and II as second, considering
the fact that Homer had to run around
his field II order to get to the tape
first. Jack Sellers. whom the local
runner has now defeated for the third
time occupied the honor mark with
aBake." but the large handicaps al
lotted were too much for the etropol-
ftan champ and he finished fifth.
Starting from the full distance mark
Baker darted away from Sellers at the
outset and soon opened a gap or ten
yards over the Mercury footer. Homer
had TO run fast all the way. as he
found great difficulty in treading his
way through the twenty odd unnsr
that spotted the path In front OF MIN
and for the most part had to run
around each runner which made him
cover many extra yards.
J.. Scarlata, unattached. who had
an allowance of ffty-five yards. took
the lead al the crack of the gun and
heid~it until the turn for the home
stretch. Here Baker overlook hin.
and in a wild sprint to the tape beat
the leader by four yards. G. II. Hill.
Glencoe A. c., As yards. finished third.
The large crowd received a real
brill whom more than fifty of Per-
shing's Veterans" of Chateau-Thlerry
mrached across the drill hall. Every

Great Revival Of Sports
After Peace Is Decided

NEW YORK. Nov. 21-Sport gov
erning bodies. both amateur and pro-
fessional. are preparing for an extern
sive revival of competition during
the coming year. Reports from all
sections of the country are to the ef-
feet hat authorities and organizations
are already planning to ~re-enter the
field of their particular activity and
aid in re-establishing sport upon q
better and broader basis than reached
at II time previous to the war.
While 1t Is yet too soon to more than
outline h possibilities, 1t can be said
that many annual meetings of such
bodies which were expected to be per-
functory oil omitted entirely, will now
take on momentous interest In the re-
construction period which Is coming
in sport.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
major and minor baseball leagues will
resume business next spring. 1t IA
not likely that h game will immedi-
ately reach the heights to which 1t
had climbed when the world war frat
took hold of Americas most popular
sport 1t is pointed out, however, that
baseball has established a record in

loss OF certain star players and main.
~tenanace OF duplicate parks IN some
cities must be solved and this will be
accomplished between now Ind next
April.
Baseball and rowing two other ma
ior sports at the colleges during the
spring will also be revived. II the
8. A. T. C. rules continue In effect I'M
til h close of the June term the
games and races will be conducted
along the same lines which now pre-
vail in football. College mines will be
permitted to play nearby rivals and
dual regattas will be staged. If the
restrictions are eased or entirely re-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-11-22

moved more ambitious schedules will
be arranged for the mines and there is
a possibility of q revival of the East
ern rowing classics. Football may
be expected to resume its normal
place in college sport next fall: as by
that 1t is thought that the colleges will
have resumed their normal functions.
In the realm of the motors, plans
are taking shape for the restoration
of many sport competitions. Racing
enthusiasts are looking forward to the
establishing of many new records on
land, water and in the air through the
use of the Liberty Motor, which 1t is
expected will be available for compe-
titive purposes next spring.
The Automobile Association. Aero
Club of America and the American
Power Boat Association will all stage
championship races in their respective
classes during 1919 as preliminary to
the resumption of International con-
tests for amous trophies Trotting
pacing and racing. which have con-
tinued throughout the duration of
the war will be developed upon a
larger scale. according to the state
ments of those interested in these
sports. The yacht clubs of the At
lantic Coast are also polishing race
trophies and brushing the dust OFF
nautical charts In preparation for a
revival of yachting and a number of
regattas and cruises, abandoned dur
ing the past few years will be re-
.vived summer. The officials of
the bicycle racing bodies intend to
broaden the scope OF competition and
the same holds true Of many minor
sport governing bodies according to
information cleaned in a hasty ran
vas of the country.
On every side there Is convincing
evidence thai the war has and will
prove a great stimulus to sport and
the coming year will be but a ma
tional period of preparation for the
greater era of international competi-
ton to come.

Cleaning q la Ruth.

A Kentucky farmer makes to the
louisville Courier-Journal the sugges-
ton that cleaners should 60 into the
wheat fields this summer and gather
up every stalk of wheat which the
binder has missed. He estimates thai
ten bushels of wheat, or about two bar
rels of flour, would be saved in every
2O-acre field.
The custom has been to turn hogs
into the stubble and let them clean VI
what the harveSters have left. 1t Is
suggested that while we are trying tC
save flour for the prosecution of the
war cleaners instead Of pigs should
follow the harvest. as was the custom
in Biblical times.
