METzeER's COLUMN.
By SOL. METzGER.

From Sol MetZger, Bedford, Pa.
 There has been more agitation and argument over college athletics since Uncle Sam entered the war than ever before in their history. And the main evidences of this turmoil is brought to light in the questions of whether or not college sport should be continued? of whether it should be formal or in formal? of whether coaches and train CTS should be canned or continued in office? and of just what to do about gate receipts?
 Now none of this turmoil over col lege sport is caused by war; the war but provided the opportunity to bring to a head a long planned reform in intercollegiate sport It but hurried long delayed collision between two forces in college athletics, if not in American athletics, which for want of better names we called the practical and the ideal The practical is that force which represents athletics as they have existed; the ideal is the force which represents the view of those seeking, a new field for our athletics.
 To arrive at an understanding of the athletic situation in our colleges we but have to study American institu- tions and character in general What is true of us as a nation in a general way must be true of the nation in a physical way. The good and the bad of our scheme of existence is bound to be reflected in our scheme of play; in other words in our athletics. Our whole tendency is to heroize the man who is outstanding, and who outranks other men in any field of activity Therefore, it is not strange that we seek out and praise beyond others the winning athlete. He is but the pro- duct of our code of life applied to athletics. The average American likes the extraordinary man. Our big lea que pitchers and big four fullbacks are but extraordinary men in an atfl- letic sense. And as we are always boys at heart we tend to popularize the supreme in physical above all else
 There are many among us who do not care for our scheme of life. In- deed they do not hesitate to attack it. AS all the plans of man have their faults it is not strange then that there is much in our athletic system that it's critics may find fault with. For one thing it is fact that our athletics do not benefit all men equally. As our colleges are the last word in mat ters of education it is not surprising that the college athletic systems re- fecting as they do the American con-

LIBERTY BONDS ACTIVE
One Block of s1,7oO,ooo Second Fours
 Sold at g7.50.

New York, March 26-Dealings in stocks today were completely eclipsed by the huge transactions in Liberty bonds. which reached record breaking proportions.
 The, demand concentrated in the second As, that issue changing hands in almost countless lots ranging from several thousand dollars to one block Of $1,7OO,00O at 97.50.
 Quotations for the second As were mainly on an advancing scale from SPA to 9794, maximum gain of S4- 100. first As sold at 97.20 to 97.70. an extreme gain of 7S-100, and the 1-2's were quoted at 9840 to 99, gain of SO-10O. Total sales of Liberty bonds (par value) approximated s26.000 e00 the second As contributing over $23.- coo 900.
 Extraordinary absorption of Liberty bonds was naturally ascribed to pub lication of details outlining the next or third issue.
 Stocks were occasionally stimulated by the strength of bonds, but dealings were light and tentative.

INTERNATIONAL OWNERS TO MEET TODAY
Question of Continuing League Will Probably be Definitely Decided General Opinion Is That the League Will Sus- pend Operations For the Duration of the War-Jack Dunn of Baltimore May Endeavor to Form New Lea que

New York March 2s.-Club owners and others interested in the affairs of the International league arrived here today for informal conferences, pre- liminary to a meeting of the league tomorrow, at which it is expected defi- nite action will be. taken on the long delayed question of whether to start the season or suspend operations dur ing the war.
 As many of the best players in the league have been disposed of to ma jor leagues, and interest is reported to be lukewarm in a majority of the cit ies composing the circuit, the opinion is held generally that the Organization will not attempt to start.
 The Baltimore and Toronto manage ments, in their efforts to induce other cities to fill the gaps caused by res ignations, have met with virtually no encouragement. Jack Dunn of Balti- more. it is said, will endeavor to form a new league, if the International sus- bends operations.

WOMEN BASEBALL FANS
 NOT TAXED ON LADIES' DAY.
This Ruling Has Been Laid Down by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

Washington, March 26. = Ladies day" at baseball parks will not be af- fected by the war tax, according to an announcement made today by the bu- reau of internal revenue. The bureau has ruled that 'the admission of a lady on a gentlemen's ticket without extra charge is not taxable. because the same ticket covers both, even though an unaccompanied lady must pay the same admission as a gentle man."
 Others who are exempt are baseball writers. telegraph operators, bonafide employees of the baseball associations, public officials on official business and children under IF years of age who are admitted free. The bureaus an nouncement explains that the exemp- tion does not apply to newspaper critics and reporters occupying seats in the audience" but only to those who occupy special spaces such as press boxes The term Public officers in cludes policemen and firemen only when in attendance in the course of their duty.
 There will be no change in the time honored custom of letting in for noth- 4ilo tue pOy Who IeSONSAo tie Oea1l c1l- ter it has been knocked over the fence, the statement says.
 The bureau has decided that hold CTS of season boxes or seats must pay the tax for every game whether the seats or boxes are occupied or not. In the case of a season pass the hold CT. "at the option of the proprietor" may pay the tax on all the admis- sions to which it entitled him at the time the pass is issued or whenever it is presented on each single admis- sion.
