SPORTS BOOM
AFTER BIG WAR
Death Of Organized Base

for Amateur Athletics.

The Crowder work-or-fght order
has wrecked professional baseball.
Whether or not a temporary least
of life is given the sport for the bal
ance of the present. season. base
ball has received q blow from which
it will not recover within half a
dozen years after its resumption
This is the opinion of men who
have thousands of dollars invested
in the sport, which has taken fifty
years in the making
But with the demise of profess
sional baseball come opportunities for
amateur and semi-professional sport
so comprehensive that it will be
months before these possibilities can
be fully appreciated and grasped.
Right now there are more than
100000 young men in our national
army. Before these men went to
camp the athletic activities of the
majority of them was confined to
sitting in the. bleachers and root
ing for the home club. edging into
a Tingside seat to see a couple of
pugs maui each other. or playing a
little "ketch" on the street when
the con wasn't looking.
Now these same fellows are going
in for sport activity. Athletic train.
ing at army cantonments has drawn
practically all our soldiers Into some
branch of sport They play base.
ball. football of basketball. They
box and wrestle. They engage in
al sorts of field and track athletics.
After the war they will not be con-
tent to sit idly by and watch some-
one else play their games for them.
, They will want to be in the games
themselves.
And the examples set by these
Young men will be followed 1y their
fellows and particularly by the 70 ing
er generation.
1t means that, after the wa, in.
stead of about per cent of our ) 9th
being actively engaged in sport, about
20 per cent will participate.
There is no limit to the possibilities.
and already broad-minded college
and school boards are taking advan.
tage of this. The result will un.
doubtedly be that practically every
boy in school will have an oppor,
tunity to develop his body by cngaz.

son in Colleges Of Mid
die West. IL.

Philadelphia, July 29.-All fear as
to the future Of the gridiron game
in the MiddIs West may be dis
counted now that the faculty COM
mittee of the University of Montana
has ratified the appointment Of Bill
Schrieber, former Wisconsin star, as
head coach of their football squad.
1t has been known for some time
that the Montana officials were
holding of from their present action
until a true estimate of the weight
of President Bryaa's attack on the
continuation of intercollegiate sports
could be had. That they had seen
fit to announce Schrieber's appoint
ment means that the Indiana Uni
versity prexy's endeavors to call a
halt to all athletics have failed.
In SchriebeR the Montana coll
legians obtain the services of a real
gridiron mentor. Pat O'Dea. John
ny Dewitt, Jim Thorpe and Charley
Brickley are the only pigskin boot
ers who ever succeeded in reaching
standard equal to that of this
former Wisconsin star for scoring
via the toe route.
Many of the games which assisted
the Madison collegians to the West
ern Conference championships in
1899, 1900 and 1901 were through
the ability of Schrieber to outboot
all rivals. He also was a good
ground gaining fullback, and a
sterling defensive player. Since his
graduation he has filed in as physi-
cal director at a number Of our best
secondary schools.

MAJOR LEAGUE CLUB OWNERS DESIRE
WORLD SERIES AFTER SEASON is OVER

Despite the assertion Of John X.
Tener that there win be no world
series this season. II IL known that .
number Of club owners favor the
autumn contests and will vote THAI
they be held when the league meets
this week in New York to discuss the
latest developments in the contro-
versy over the work or fight rule.
At least four club owners in the
National League and a number In the
American League are understood TO
favor the scheme OF playing the woriq
series next autumn. probably the hrst
week In September. The American
League clubs also will confer This
week, and it is likely that they, too.
will take upt the idea of playing the
big series early in September. -
Despite the view of Tener. 1t ep-
pears to be the general impression IN
local baseball circles that the major
league clubs will be able to maintain
their playing strength until the end
OF the season at least. The danger
of wholesale desertion Of players has
passed. The men are proving their
loyalty to their employers splendidly.
And even should many Of the players
who are subject to draft quit the
teams to enter a more productive en-
ployment. II is altogether likely that
the two major leagues will be able
to maintain sixteen clubs of veterans
and youngsters outside the draft
Both the National and American
leagues will probably hold meetings

New York. July 2s.-Jack Curley.
who promoted the Jack Dempsey
Fred Fulton fight Saturday in Har-
rison, n. j., declared tonight that
he is ready to match Jess Willard
with Fulton's conqueror at any time.
Let these other fellows talk about
it for a WHILE" he said. "I'll be
along when the time gets right. and
if Jess thinks he wants to meet this
fellow or if he thinks he's good
enough to beat him. let him say so.
The public wants the bout IL Jess
will take the right attitude. The
fact that Saturdays bout was pulled
of is evidence enough that a real
bout can be staged at any time"
Curley lost $4,000 on the Dempsey
Fulton bout.
However" he said. Il feel re-
paid. The people came out to see
the scrap In quantity and quality.
If the public wants a fight 1t can
have it. A wiuard-Dempsey bout
should arouse enthusiasm. Other
contests should come. regardless of
what happened last night. l am ready
to take further risks"
Financially the bout was fail
ure. The total gate receipts amount
ed to $4,000. Fulton and Dempsey
received $4,000. Fulton was paid s12,
900 before he left his hotel for the
scene of battle and Dempsey was
paid 5000 on Friday night. 1t prob
ably cost the promoters a total OF
$4,000 to stage the bout. This means
that approximately $4,000 was lost
on the venture.
