Cleveland has lost Pitcher Klepfer,

AS war and time have claimed their

start the season with new men in the
regular lineup. Sam Crawford, the
mighty slugger Of pennant days, has
played his last game with Detroit. George

hard work. Boland, Cunningham, Mitch

finally has decided to rejoin the club, will
be the first string catchers, with Yelle

fellow from the Blue Ridge League, and
Clary, a Cornell star, are the candidates
for emergency backstop, and thus far
Cobb seems to have the call.

ALEXANDER MUST co,
DRAFT CHAIRMAN SAYS
Head of Exemption Board Officially
Announces Pitcher Is in
Next Quota.

LINCOLN, Neb., April 13.-There was
no doubt in the minds of base ball
followers here tonight. that Grover
Cleveland Alexander, star pitcher of
the Chicago National League team,
would be one of the drafted men to go
to Camp Funston, Kan, from this state
the latter part of this month.
The statement early today by K. d.
Bahensky, member of the draft board
at st. Paul, Neb., Alexander's home,
that the question as to whether or not
Alexander would be called this month
depended upon the number of men the
board exempted for agricultural rea-
sons, gave rise to the belief that the
spond to the call to the colors-at least
as a member of the April quota.
Later IN the day, however, Sheriff
William H. Atwood of ST. Paul, chair
man of the county draft board. sent a
telegram to the Lincoln office of the
Associated Press saying that Alexan-
der had been called to go in the next
quota, but that he had not been off,
cially notified because the board had
not yet been informed just when the
men were to entrain for camp.
This telegram was in ca2frmation of
statement made by 81 if Atwood
last Friday morning, when said that
1t was true that Alexander would have
to go in the April quota.
Mr.. Bahenskys assertion that the
question of Alexander's going to camp
this month was still undetermined was
believed in sporting circles here to-
might to have been made because he did
not desire to make positive statement
on the matter before official notiflca-
ton had been sent to Alexander.

Will Play Foot Ball Games.

Hardly any doubt exists that practi-
cally all the colleges will go through
with their foot ball schedules next fall,
but further than that it is almost i'm
possible even to guess, and there is not
any too much certainty in looking that
far ahead.
Athletics undoubtedly will depend in
a large measure-competitive athletics,
that is-except for college foot ball. on
the high and prep schools and on teams
representing organizations of soldiers.
The war will not affect scholastic
sports near so much as it will the COL
leges, as 1t will take away practically
none of the material, and scholastic
sports are financed in such ways that
they will be affected little from that
standpoint. Equipment is the main
need of soldier teams. and there will be
as many teams as can be provided for.
There is not going to be any lack of
competitive athletics during the war,
but the colleges are going to have
hard time weathering the adverse con-
ditions unless they cut everything to
the bone and concentrate on one or
two lines.
Evening star., 1918-04-14
Track Sports Suffer Also.

Track and field sports are suffering
also. Maryland State will not hold its
annual meet, and, from all that can
be learned. the only attempt to be made
to put on a, set of intercollegiate track
and field events in this section is that
to be made by the officials OF the
South Atlantic intercollegiate A A at
Baltimore on the second triday ana
Saturday in May. Excepting that meet,
the only opportunity now apparent Tor
college track squads to compete Will
be at the University OF Pennsyivanaa
relay races the last Saturday in April.
Consequently this lack of opportunities
for competition has resulted in a failure
on the part of colleges to develop track
and field squads Little success is al
tending efforts to build up good set OF
events for the South Atlantic 1ntercol-
legiate A. A. and hard time is being
experienced in getting enough colleges 10
enter teams at Pennsylvania in the south
Atlantic intercollegiate A A champion
ship event put on in the relay games
there to make really interesting race
Georgetown never has paid any great at
tention to outdoor track work, at least
not in recent years, though 1t probably
will have few men in the-South Atlanflcs
and send a relay four to Penn. Usually
it has not been represented at Philadei-
phia George Washington, Maryland State
Virginia and Catholic University. The
other teams that have paid especial at
tention to track sports are not repre-
sented at all. Hopkins has squad. but
compared to previous Hopkins squads
the present one is not much better than
a high school combination.

Try to Fill Diamond Dates.

Catholic University. Georgetown and
Maryland State have been making some
strenuous efforts to fill dates on their
base ball schedules, but without great
deal of success The last mentioned
especially is trying to arrange some
kind of a representative list Of games
to run until the 1st of June. Owing
to certain complications which resulted
in only a few contests being bookedS
the list for the remainder of the year
Is small and unpretentious.
Tennis, the third sport in which all
the colleges indulge. is taboo. Nothing
is known of attempts on the part OF
any of them to carry out an organized
plan for a court season. Maryland
State has been playing lacrosse. but
as early as last fall decided not to at.
tempt to turn out a team this year.
With the lack of material for teams
and the gradually increasing cost OF
financing sports, college athletics dur
ing the periods OF the war seem to be
reaching more precarious position
with every day. While Princeton. Yale
and Harvard were censured consider
ably for calling of their schedules as
soon as war was declared. 1T begins TO
look as if they saw little further
ahead than most of the other fnstitu-
tions or were in a position to know
more what conditions were likely to be
met in the course of a year or more
of warfare.

Chicago.

The Chicago Americans will stand
pat with the team which won the world
championship from the New York Ma
tionals last season. President Charles
A. Comiskey and his manager, Clarence
Rowland, feel confident that the team
which won base balls highest honors
last season has the class to, repeat
this year.
In speaking of the club, Manager
Rowland said:
II am perfectly satisfied with our
team and am ready to start where we
left off, OF course make no predic-
tions, but whatever club beats us will
play lot of high-class ball"
The weakest spot on the club is the
pitching department. It was the same
worry Rowland experienced last year.
men who were able to go the full nine
innings on the mound. These were
Cico..e and Faber. Williams and Dam
forth, southpaws, were "ifty-f1fty'
pair whose team work in relieving each
other also helped the Chicago club.
Danforth also was a frst-class flnisher
for some of the other twirlers. These
two pitchers are expected to "go the
route" this season, and II they can full
fill Rowlands expectations the pennant
chances of the White Sox are exceed
ingly bright.
Washington.
Manager griffith of the Washington
club recently remarked that his team had
a chance of finishing anywhere IL the draft
did not take any more of his men. Since
then 1t has lost Sam Price, the best batter
on the team. The addition of OutfleldeT
Bert Shotton and Shortstop Lavan, OBJ
tanned in the winter from st. Louis, un-
doubtedly has strengthened the Nationals
in spots where they were weak last sea-
son, which, with the well known strength
of the pitching staff. headed by Walter
Johnson, should land the outfit In the
first division, If 1t is able to display any
punch on the offensive.
Joe Judges broken ankle has healed
nicely and he will be back at first. Nor
gan at second, Lavan at short and Foster
at third make up the infleld. As fielders
this quartet ranks fast, and with the stick
I it is above the average.
The outfield is to be composed of Milan
Shotton and Shanks. 1t compares favor
ably with the best trio in the league In
fielding.
The pitching force has johnson, Shaw
Ayers. Harper. Du Mont. Yingling. Graft
and Waldbauer as a winning possibility
The first four named will be the regulars
Eddie Ainsmith will do all the catching
this year. as he demonstrated last season
that the more he worked the better he
played. Charity will substitute for him
in case Of injury.

LITTLE OF PROMISE
IN COLLEGE SPORTS
Base Ball and Track This
Spring Offer Little That
Is Attractive.
FEW CONTESTS ARE LISTED
BY Il. C. BYRD.

College athletics in this i'm
mediate vicinity are enjoying less
success this spring than for many
years. With the bad weather of
the last week putting damper
on several base ball games, prac-
tically third of the season gone
without much in the way of real
contests, and the apparent in
ability to develop anything big
in the way of track events, the
outlook for collegiate sports DUR
ing the period of the year when
usually there is competition IN
four different branches is not
bright, to say the best.
In previous seasons Catholic Univer-
sity. Georgetown and Maryland State
had by the middle of April played the
most important parts n>their schedules
Big teams from the north had finished
their Easter trips. and more real base
ball usually had been seen by this
time than during the whole of the re-
naming part of the season. So far this
year. though, Catholic University has
played three contests. Maryland state
and Gallaudet one each and George
town none. Neither of these tnstitu-
tions has a particularly promising ust
of contests for the remainder Of the
year, and no very good prospect of OBJ
tanning anything especially worth
while
