ATHLETES ID TRAIN
 DURING VACATION
Baseball, Track and Crew Men to
 Work During Easter Layof

New Haven, March 25.-Major $ports have been revived at Yale to Nhe extent of squads in rowing. base ball and football being ordered to Eematn here for the Easter vacation, which begins next Wednesday. The H mild weather of the past week has Tempted all of them outdoors for the &second time this season, and all be- #lfeve that practice events will be pos < sble before tho close of the holiday week.
 8 Yale Field has been made ready for < the baseball and track squads after a years disuse. The squad retained here will number twenty-three play CTS and two hines will be formed for the first intersquad games of the season, unless adverse weather pre- vents. Dutch" Carter, "Zeke" Bron- yon. former Yale players, and train sr Walter Mace will direct the coach Ing The track men will work under Coaches John Muck and Billy Queal. The quarter mile cinder track is in fair shape for tbe tryouts which are planned.
 Professor Matber Abbott the crew coach, will have two varsity and two freshman eights on the harbor till the squads are dism j8sed Saturday for an Easter outing of two or three days. With Captain Hyatt, Vail and Meads three veterans in tho first eight the varsity outlook in rowing is the most promising Of any of the spring sports.
 Vale Strongest in Wafer.
 Yale's superiority promises to be confined to the water this year, as the swimming team of the winter sport organizations alone took an intercol- lcgiato title, and the chances arc brightest for the crew of the spring ;eams.
 The makeup Of the varsity eight is at present as follows, although Dr, Abbott makes frequent changes and the order will not he settled till close upon the date for the opening race with Pennsylvania, and probably Col Hmbia on the Housatonic May II:
 Stroke, Captain Hyatt; No. !, Vail: No. 6, Robinson; No. 5, Knox; No. 1, Adams; No. 3, Mead; No. ?, Patter- son; bow, Weir: coXswain, Knott.
 Failure of the freshman class to produce more than four crews has disappointed Dr. Abbott. Last sea son there were eleven in the squad.
 During the first practice baseball games of the season the Yale nine will 6e composed as fellows: Pitche Lynch and Porter; catchcrs, Prior and Conway: first base, Lane; second base Sawyer; shortstOp, Captain Iy- man; third base Prann outfeld Boyd, Gordon. Gage and Sanderson

HARVARD CREWS OUT
Crimson Oarsmen Will All Re Practic- ing on Charles River This Week. Varsity Looks Strong.

Cambridge, Mass, March 2o.-- Practically all the Harvard crews will be on the river tomorrow A number of minor eights have been rowing for several days. On Wednesday last the varsity and freshmen got overheard for the first time. Coach Haines had the Pup rigged up on Thursday, and followed first the varsity and then the freshmen for several miles up and down long stretch up above the var sity bOathouse.
 The first varsity eight, judged large ly from its work in the tank, seems to be individually strong. Weaknesses, of course, are showing glaringly, but that is to be expected early in the season.
 Dick Enmet is stroking the eight, and without a doubt should remain there all spring. Heady, possessing a well-timed stroke, which has behind it lots of power, Emmet is expected to prove one of the best stroke oars liar ward has had in years. Fred Whit man. on probation, has been brought up from the second craft and placed at No 7 Whitman was a. member of the freshman crew explained by Elm met which defeated Yale two seasons ago on the Thames. Coleman, strong, and himself no mean stroke. is at No. ., and Captaln HalkIHah al No. ). The latter is awkward, but is showing improvement. He rowed with Emmet and Whitman in 1916.
 Harrison is at No. 3 and Moves a7 No. ?. Bowen continues to row at bow, but coxswains for the varsity are few and far between. Pierson. a freshman, has been guiding the rudder this week, but Durfee or Gerou1d upper classmen, will report tomorrow and be assigned to the crews.

Z6nk with you and tell you that I Edon't think that you or any other man can whip John L. Sullivan. Just the same, the gentlemen here like you well enopgh in this first meeting to take a chance on you"
 That's rig1tt," chorused the others.
 And so," added Dwyer slowly, you can annSunce tomorrow morn ing that you wfll accept Sullivan's challenge and we'll see to it that you go to the post on time. Forget your worries about the financial end of it. We'll take care of the $1o,oo0 side bet and all you need to do from now on is to get yourself into the best condition of your career to fight the champion"
 No kid in the world ever was hap pier than ! during the rest of the night and the next day. Immediately that I got back to Philadelphia I told William A. Brady, my manager, of my wonderful good fortune and at once wired John l.. that I would ac- cept his challenge in it's entirety. The news was flashed around the eoun- try, creating something of a sensation and Q mighty big laugh.
 Tho thought of a youngster nearly 40 pounds lighter than John L.. try in. conclusions with him appealed to the sporting public as a huge joke. l wasn't conceded even the ghost of a chance. I had been fighting profes- sionally less than two years; John l.. was the unbeaten veteran of nearly 300 battles. Yes, it did look--to the world at large--that it was going to be "easy picking' for the champ. But I had my own ideas about the affair-ideas radically different from the rest of the world.

MARSANS' ABSENCE
 WORRIES HUGGINS
Cuban Player Fails to Appear at
 Macon Training Camp

Macon, Ga, March 25.-Mystery stalks within the camp of the Yan- kees while an outtielder stalks with out. When Armando Marsans failed to appear on the day named in his reporting orders, little attention was paid to his failure to arrive.
 Those Cubans always report late,' explained Miller Huggins who has had experience with players from the sunny isle before coming to the Yankees.
 AS Huggins figured that Marsans would arrive in few days no inn portance was placed on his failure to report on March 14. Ten days have gone by, and as nothing has been heard from the fleet outaelder the Yankee manager is beginning to wonder what all this absence is about.
 A notice in a St. Louis paper that Mike Gonzales was due to arrive at San Antonio Saturday led Huggins to expect that Marsans would be in Ma con about the same time. He figured that the two Cubans left Havana to- gether for New Orleans, but it is evident now that if Mike arrived at the Cardinals camp on the day an nounced he came without Marsans.
 NJarsans Drops Out of Sight.
 Inquiries about Marsans develop the information that no word of any kind has been received from the Gu ban since he left New York for home last September. He spent many weeks in the hospital after breaking an ankle at the Polo Grounds, and from all the news heard from him during the winter the club officials are led to believe that he has been suffering from writer's cramp. They do not know whether he is a holdout, whether be plans to retire from base ball, whether he is in the army, or what has happened to him.
 The contract sent to Marsans in January was received and receipted for. Whether the figures proved sat isfactory or otherwise, nobody con- nected with the Yankees seems to know.
 That contract is still in Cuba or perhaps with Marsans, en route. He has not signed for 1918. nor has he complained about the amount of fered him. He is simply annoying the club with the thunder of silence" tIuggins is not saying much, but it is safe to assume that Marsans' de- lay in reporting is beginning to get on Miller's nerves.
 If by any chance Marsans is not to be member of the Yankees this season Higgins will have to do some switching on his original plans. The Cuban had been picked to hold down the centertleld assignment, which fell to him last July. when he came to the Yankees in 8, trade for Lee Ma gee.
 Cuban's Speed Is Missed.
 As a fly chaser the speedy Cuban must be ranked in the top five of ma jor league outfelders. His batting last season was weak. but the fan- kees have no outfelder but l3odle who stands high enough above Mar sans to crowd him onto the bench. Fuggins believes that Marsans can dc much better with the stick than he showed last season, and as his presence adds to the fielding and base running strength of the club the Cuban is a much desired person at this time.
 Huggins is expected to send some tracers out this week and get a real

SACRED TO
THREE RELIGIONS.

AS a religious center, Jerusalem
has been in the hands of the Jews
about 1910 years of its total known
existence of almost 1000 years; in
the hands of the Christians about Alt
years (this is the period which has
especially left it's impress on the land
in architectural and cultural re-
mains); in the hands of the Romans
255 years, and of the Moslems HAT
years; not counting the 1000 years
of its earlier history before it's con-
quest by David. During a relatively
small portion of this long period has
Jerusalem been independent, and al
ways, on account of it's strategic posi-
ton, it has tended to be bone of
contention between the Asiatic great
powers and Egypt, being, however,
oftener in the possession of the for
mer than of the latter.-From "Jeru-
salem Redeemed" by John P. Peters,

STORE ROBBED.

Mr.. Chalker, who runs small gro
Gerry on Cherokee street near the
suburbs, had visitors at some time
during Wednesday night who tried
to make it unnecessary for him pay
any further attention to food or fuel
orders.
Possibly the visitors did not like
the recent fifty-fifty flour and meal
orders, for they removed every sack
of flour from the store, a shipment
having come in the previous evening
made the quantity of flour much
greater than of meal.
However, they were impartial in
the attention paid to the stock in
general and as far as it appears to
have been possible, they removed ev-
erything that was not nailed down,
and would probably have swept the
floor if a new broom had been at
hand.
Mr.. Chal6er will have no qualms
of conscience, if he advertises on
opening up again that his stock is
all fresh stock.
In the meantime he would be glad
to have his visitors to meet the
sheriff and be entertained for a while
at the expense of the county.

TO THE PRESS.

In addition to the minutes of the
grocers' meeting Monday afternoon,
l wish to make few announcements
of new rulings: Also to thank the
grocers for the kindly way they have
taken to the governments regula-
tions and their hearty support of
my efforts to see that they are pro-
perly observed.
First, all dealers, whether large or
small, any where in the county, are
subject to the regulations from the
time they are published, and should
keep themselves informed so as to
avoid violating the regulations.
Effective Monday, January 28th,
and in future sales no dealer may
sell flour to any one unless he sells
an equal amount of corn meal, roll
ed oats, grits, rice or some similar
cereal. Il construe this to mean
that he make up the equal amount of
cereal from several of the line-as
oat meal, rice and corn meal, or other
combinations.)
The government has released it's
control over oysters, so far as fix
ing the price is concerned.
Prices fixed on bran, shorts, etc,
as announced some days ago, are
liable to be misleading, as those
prices were "at the mills in the wheat
growing section far west.
Mondays and Wednesdays have
been set apart as wheatless days, and
people are urged to observe them,
but / do not understand this to be
compulsory; Tuesdays should be OBJ
served as meatless days.
Advertisements tending to induce
people to buy largely of sugar and
flour, are held to be decidedly against
public policy.
What is called "profiteering" by
retail grocers is strictly against reg
ulations; a grocer bought canned
goods at cents and sold them at
15 cents. This was classed as "pro-
fiteering" and the grocer was not
allowed to buy further of any goods
from licensed dealers.

A REST ROOM.

Again we feel like bringing to the
attention of our people, the need of
a woman's rest room in the city, par
ticularly for the use of ladies from
the country who may have to spend
several hours in town on occasions,
and who do not care to spend the
time in the stores.
Our merchants can not put few
dollars per month into a project that
will be more appreciated by the
country people, and we feel sure that
our business men will support this
if it is taken up to them directly.
Mrs. Sawyer, the Home Demon
stration Agent for the county, is
anxious to see the matter acted upon,
and would be able to be of some as
sistance in the matter of some of our

the matter up? We feel safe in say

our people.
