grew out of the strike of the street
car men and operatives at the Swift
Spinning mills.
Striking carmen have maintained gooc
order, but their sympathizers have
thrown bricks at cars. When deputies
were sworn in last night their guns
were taken from them.
Sheriff Beard telegraphed Governor

Athletics toAid
lnWin inning War

BOSTON, May 17.-College athletics
as factor in preparing the youth Of
the country for military training, were
discussed at the annual meeting of the
Association Of New England Colleges
TOR Conference on Athletics tonight.
Dr.. Paul c. Phillips, who represented
Amherst College, said that intercol-
legiate athletics should now be directed
toward contributing the greatest pos
sible help in the war; Experinc in
this conflict would show, he said, what
was essential and what could be dis
penscd with in the conduct Of ath-
letics as means for training young
men to be good soldiers.
Colleges could gain valuable lessons
on the conduct of athletics from the
experiences Of the National Army can
tonments, Captain Nelligan, directof
of athletics at Camp Devens, said. Spe-
cialized athletes played no prominent
part in army sports, he added, pointing
out that games in camp were conducted
for the good of the many, and that the
results obtained would merit the study
of college athletic directors.
There was discussion on whether the
hammer-throwing event should be elm
mated from intercollegiate meets, but
no definite action was taken. Among
the colleges represented were Harvard.

The former Purdue University star.
who entered the Military Academy as
cadet in 1914, is to graduate with his
class next month and be commissioned
as lieutenant in the army.
Oliphant has been prominent in all
branches of sport since his admission
to West Point. He is the only man
ever graduated from the institution
who has won his letter "a" in four
sports. Oliphant holds a track record
made at West Point, for which he was
awarded the coveted letter, and wears
an "a" for football, basketball and
baseball as we'll.
He is captain of the Army baseball

give up much of his diamond actiyi-

Cardinals Call
Semi-Pro. Here
For a Iry-Out

st. Louis newspapers relate that
President Branch Hickey of the Car
dinals has had Manager Hendricks
write Walter Simpson, New York
semi-pro catcher, requesting him to re-
port to the St. Louis club when it
reaches New York on June 1, if he is
interested in a possible career in pro-
fessional baseball.
Simpson, whose home is at 393 Audu-
bon Avenue, is the first-string receiver
for the New York Athletic Club team
this year. A week ago, playing with
the Chambers Arrows at Montclair,
N. j., he doffed the mask and pad when
the Manhattan teams pitcher was bat
ted out of the box in the first inning,
and held the strong Montclair Athletic
Club hitless during the 82-3 innings.
Simpson has powerful throwing arm
but prefers to remain on the receiving
end Of the batteries.
At his home last night he said he
had replied to Hendricks's invitation,

Detroit Gets News of mo
Auto Cut" Later Than
Other Points
By G. E. r. Scharns


DETROIT, May 17.-News that the
government does not intend making
any fixed reduction in the output of
passenger motor cars has just reached
this city officially. The morning news
papers to-day informed the motor car
centre Of the United States of this stu
alton, although it has been known at
other places for the better part of
week.
Certain persons vitality interested in
the motor car industry are severely
critical of those in Washington to
whom the welfare of the business has
been committed that they did not more
than year ago, as was then suggested
to them, form bureau of information
relating to the industry. If this had
been done, great deal of misinforma-
tion regarding the industry never
would have reached the public. Fur
thermore, q lot Of hurtful rumors and
reports about cutting production and
the like would not have gone forth If
there had been any automobile bureau
III Washington to consult regarding the
truth or falsity of stories that started
no one seems to know where.
1t is too late now to bewail the stu
alton. The automobile industry is
lucky to be as we'll off as it is, con-
sidering the way publicity in its in
terest was handled.
Labor is the scarcest thing in this
motor car manufacturing city. 1t is
estimated that there are between $4,000
and 10000 men too few for the needs
of the industry. At that, automobile
people from other towns seem to be-
lieve that there are surplus mechanics
here and are sending over all the time
to get some. In vain, however.
Driveaways are proving tests Of tires
chine has done 1000 miles or SO on
the road from factory to dealer, if the
tires show up we'll, a pretty good line
is had on what they amount to. The
other day l saw several cars that had
made nearly 1000 miles on the road.
One make Of tires, after washing,
looked as if they had never touched
pavement. Another brand Of castings
had the tread worn down so much that
any one might have thought they had
