AUSTRIAN PRESS HOPES
PEACE MOVE SUCCEEDS

AMSTERDAM. October 7.-Dispatches
from Vienna show Austrian newspapers
to be deeply impressed with tho i'm
portance OF the peace move made by
the central powers and filed with hope
for its success.
The Fremdenblatt has some doubts,
saying. I'VE must reckon with every
thing and must be armed for all events. I"
Never before was 1t necessary to look
forward to coming events with such de-
termination" says the Neue Freie
Presse. 1T is not military necessity
which forces the monarchy to make
such concessions"
The Abendblatt hopes president Will
son, whose declarations certainly were
seriously meant, will not hesitate to
seize the hand that Is stretched forth
and show the world he intends to real
ize the ideas he has laid before it in

what players We shall need. As soon
as that time comes, you'll find my

thing, though, that is that Cleveland
will hare as good a ball club as can
be obtained"
The Indians are likely to lose Bob

and Harry Lunte, an fnfielder draft
ed from Mobile. All four have been
placed in class ! under the question
naire. Roth. and Harris will leave
the biggest holes, but the other two
are valuable TO the team. Harris was
caught in the draft. but ordered to
wait for the call, which has yet to
come to him. There seems small
chance of his playing ball next sum-
mer.
Lee Fohl will send his pitchers and
catchers TO New Orleans on March 10,

HADDOCK. Ga. Jan. 2.-George

Giants for Charlie Herzog because,

StaIlinEs, who is attending to his blue

something to do with his seeking the

says Stallings. who sees much in base
ball that escapes the eye OF the veriest

you might call a hard hitter, but he is a
clever hitter. He knows what to do up
there at the plate. that's what / mean
to say. He practically made George
Burns a scoring baserunner by himself
Watch Burns next summer getting along
without Herzog, and you'll see that I'm

That the 1918 contracts going out 20
the various members OF the Washing
ton club are carrying rather unwel-
come, welI-nigh surprising cuts is
shown by the hurried visits OF Harry
Harper and Doc Ayers to the Capital.
Harper hoped down from Hacken-
sack, n. J., for a conference with the
Old Fox. Now Doc Ayers is the latest
TO call upon his boss and seek some
sort OF an explanation for the size
OF the contract offered him.
Word from Baltimore, too, has Ray
Morgan throwing a fit when he took
a peek at his 1918 salary offer. Nor
gan's wartime contract ended last
October. He expected a cut. but he
has told friends that he didn't expect
80 small a salary as that rendered
him by Manager Griffith.
Manager Griffith's reputation is eS
cellent when it comes TO generosity
toward his players. However, the
halcyon days OF fat contracts, forced
by the eyer-present shadow of the in
dependent circuit, have gone. Next
season the players will have to share
in the expected slump in attendance
figures. The Washington club has
suffered in the past, along with 9th
er major league clubs. but a decided
change in policy has been adopted for
the immediate future.

Manager Griffith is always cIose-
mOuthed about the financial side Of
his club. an excellent habit, too, b.
the way, in these days Of Weeghmans,
but It is a well-understood fact that
the Griffmen to draw the money here
after will be those who produce the
goods on the field. 1t is not diff

PHYSICAL STANDARD, WITH MENTAL, is
REQUIREMENT FOR ALL UNIVERSITIES
Copyright. ISIS. BY International News Service

For one thing. it would give our col
leges q personnel fit to play games
and pave the way for sport for all in
each educational institution. Within
the college the mental parallel could
well be applied to the physical.
Immediately we confront a schedule
in physical culture which calls for
certain elective games and certain
compulsory calisthenics. All that IL
needed Is time for each, a detail that
is easily arranged. Proper instruc-
tion in both games and physical cuI-
ture should be supplied.
Don't Make for Character.
CaIisthenics are all right, but like
mass exercises they do not make for
character. This brings us to the
matter of intercollegiate athletics.
Again we must follow the mental
parallel. Why not make the inter
collegiate team-the varslty-the goal
of physical effort such as we make
the honor man the goal OF the men,
tai, recognizing that a happy com
bination OF the two Is best ftted for
that which follows commencement.
The varsity, as we know, is the
stimulus. or should be the stimulus,
in a comprehensive plan OF physical
education.
There is above all else the financial
problem. How better can II be solved
than by using the receipts from our
intercollegiate games for working out
a plan OF this kind?
But II We continue intercollegiate
sport even under such conditions its
so-called evils-professionalis prose
lyting, great efforts to win, and
others too numerous to mention, will
remain with us. To take care OF all
this would II not be best to confine
our varsity teams to the senior class
alone? Just as the class day honor
men must prove their worth by four
years OF mental effort
Would Drive Out Evils.
Such a scheme would rid us OF many
of the present evils OF intercollegiate
athletics: IL would make our varsity
teams truly representative OF Inc
educational work OF the college; and
1t would give to each student the op-
portunity of winning his letter as
the reward OF merit. With this goal
in view would not intramural sport
flourish as now dreamed of by its
most active advocates?
ouSh a pldn Is
1t is practical. and II answers a
worlds call for sound minds and
sound bodies for its leaders. The plan
Is not the writer's own. but il is a
summary OF such information as he
has been able to obtain from those
men who have been thinking deeply
about the practical solution OF our
educational problem OF sport for all.
Whatever plan is adopted we gain
nothing by casting aside intercollegi-
ate athletics. Its best features must
be incorporated into a spOTts-fOr-all
program.
Those who would cast intorcol-
legiate sport into the scrap heap are
of the. type that forgets Marathon
when finding a Greek root. To them
