ton. The same thing sfares
baseball in the face for the COM
ing year. but the big leagues are
planning to 20 ahead with only
minor reductions in their ex-
penses.
Baseball. It has been stated, is at a
disadvantage just at this time, main
~ because il IS played in the after
Moons. Sports carried on at night
are doing immensely. Boxing has
suffered. hut mainly because Gov.

It is probable football soon viii be
back at the old stand, drumming up
war business. Last summer when the
first punch from Mars caught col
leges squarely on the nose, Yale, Har-
ward and Princeton, wishing 10 devote
an energy possible TO the war, called
off football schedules. Since that
time a public clamOr has arisen for a
return of the sport. Il is quite likely
that this big triumvirate OF colleges
viii have elevens on the field next
year.
College baseball will be cut short
this year owing to the fact that col
leges are cutting their semesters

suffer from the same cause. The a.
