Soccer Suffers
In Quality by
War Demands

Whatever the contributing causes
and however severely the new draft
ruling may hit the game, soccer foot
ball had it's most successful season in
this country in the first year of the
nations participation in the European
war.
1t is strange paradox. Football
officials are not able to explain it,
They are counting on rapid strides
after the war, in consequence of the
adoption Of the game as the all-sea-
sons, and therefore most generally
played game, Of the army and navy
training camps. But they had forti-
fed themselves and their organizations
at the start Of the 1917-1S season,
the leanest year of all-and there were
many lean years when the game was
struggling for recognition. Their sue
cess in the first war year, therefore,
came as complete and doubtless
gratifying surprise.
Just as in the case of the minor
leagues of baseball, the smaller fry in
the kicking game found it stiff going
in 1917-'1S. A dozen or more widely
scattered small leagues and cup COM
petitions went under, not SO much from
lack of support from the public as from
the dearth Of talent for teams. For
soccer, in the player department, is
conceded to have been the hardest hit
by the war Of all American sports.

$1,000 Offered
To Chevrolet
To Win Race
Drivers Tune Up at III
Miles an Hour at the
Speedway

Charles H. Porter, manager of the
Chicago Speedway, last night wired
William H. Wellman, promoter of the
Hardness Handicap, which will be held
at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway to-
morrow afternoon, to offer Louis Chew
rolet a bonus Of $4,000 to win the $780,
600 Hardness purse.
The offer is made by Mr. Porter to
increase the interest in the Chicago
Derby race on June %. Chevrolet is to
compete. A victory for Chevrolet, who
won the Harkness Gold Trophy last
year in record time with an average of
110 miles an hour, would be big boost
to his prestige as q driver in the Windy
City event.
All of the drivers who will compete
in the Shecpshead Bay races tomorrow
were on the big oval yesterday tuning
up their cars for the speed contests.
The performances of Chevrolet and De
Palma were watched with unusual in
terest by the few present. Each was
clockcd at speed faster than l12 miles
an hour, but it is believed that neither
pushed his car to the limit.
After the workouts to day there will
be a meeting Of the drivers to discuss
the handicaps for the Futurity, with
Fred J. Wagner, the official handicap
per. The Futurity will be contested i'm
mediately before the Hardness, and will
be decided in two ten-mile heats and a
final. Thus far it is known that only
De Palma and Resta will be placed on
scratch
The popular price idea which Pro
moter Wellman introduced in the Hark-
ness Gold Tronhv last wear will ha re
tanned. This has created a wide inter
est in these speed events, and the large
sale of tickets in advance would indi-
cate that the largest crowd ever as
sembled at the Sheepshead Bay track
will witness the races. The attendance
is estimated under favorable weather
conditions at 100000, which is far be-
yond the record-breaking crowd which
saw the races last September.

Training Ship
Sailors Vie in
N.Y.A.C.M Meet
By A. c. Cavagnaro

The New York Athletic Club played
host to the sailors of the training
ship Granite State with a set OF
track and field games on the recrea-
tion field at the foot of West Ninety
sixth Street yesterday. A rowing race
and several boxing exhibitions between
prominent men added zest to the pro-
ceedings. A thunderstorm stopped fes-
tAvites for several minutes, but the
student sailors returned to compete on
the muddy ground.
Superiority in all the sports was re-
turned by the members of the gas en-
gine division, who scored a total of "a
points in the team competition. Their
first places of the eight-event pro-
LIST Division seamen. with 1917 points,
with the I'd Division men third, with
10 points.
Joe Bonds, the former heavyweight
boxer, proved himself promising
weight man when he finished second
in the 12-pound shot event. 1t was the
first time that Bonds competed in ath-
| letics, and his put of SO feet inches
was only five inches less than George
lack of knowledge in getting the most
of his tosses, although one of his
trials, which unfortunately was foul
sailed a distance Of more than forty
| feet.
Indian Wins Two Prizes
A. F. Cutler an Indian, attached to
the 1st Division, won two of the prizes
donated by the Winged Foot club. Cut
| ler, who is massively built, finished
second in the three-legged race, and
later, with j. F. Hoorigan, a division
mate, captured the rescue race.
Several boxing exhibitions concluded
boxed three rounds with Tommy Muir
ply. Bonds returned to his old love
in a two-round affair with Billy Grupp
Later Grupp and Bonds faced Frank
| Sprague for one round each.
Most exciting of the past;me was
the whale and cutter race, at one mile
with the crew from the I'd Division
pulling away in the last 100 yards, to
beat the Sd Division oarsmen by one
boat length.
