Los Angeles Diver Promises
To Attain Highest Ranking

Brighton, will not take place until
later 1t is proposed to obtain for it
an entry of national calibre, and eli
forts to secure some of the wanted can
didates for the chosen date have been
unsuccessful, so the event is being
postponed in order to make sure Of a
thoroughly representative field.
The action of the intercollegiate
Swimming Association in granting no
sanction for the annual tournament for
the team championships in swimming
and water polo promises actually to IN
crease interest in varsity aquatics. in
fact all the leading colleges are now
booked to try conclusions. so the ques-
ton of supremacy will be fully decided
IN competition. even though no titles
are officially at stake. Further, the
lack of the usual sanction will permit
teams holding only associate member
ship in the league, like Amherst,
Massachusetts Tech. and others, to en-
ter the battle for leadership. Hitherto
they have been unable to take part in
the swimming championship, owing TO
a rule which allows only colleges rep
resented in water polo to take full
membership, but nothing can prevent
their claiming the pennant this year'if
they succeed in defeating all rivals.
One OF the surprises of the season
was furnished in the aquatic champion
ships of Detroit last week, when Mrs
Vonnie Malcomson, the Central A. A.
Z. and state holder, was defeated for
the city's fancy diving title by Miss B.
Jones, a newcomer. Il deserves men
ton, however. that Mrs. Malcomson
was lust recovering from sickness and
in no condition to do herself Justice
She is now training for the district
title test, and her friends feel confident
she will demonstrate her superiority
in the event.

New Baseball
Field for Bronx

Baseball players in the Bronx have
been very much agitated by the con-
struction Of number of roads through
the famous old baseball diamond at
177th Street, near Third Avenue. at the
northerly end of Crotona Park.
Park Commissioner Hennessy has
under construction q diamond which
he believes will be far superior to the
old one 1t is located at Fulton Avenue
near 172d Street. and after consider
able grading has been done it viii be
the equal of any park baseball dia-
mond in New York City.
In the rear of the backstop will be
grandstand with dressing accommoda-
tions and along the first and third base
lines will be bleachers accommodating
several thousand persons.
Commissioner Hennessy has large
force of men at work on this field and
expects to have it completed in time
for the opening Of the baseball season.
There is a diamond on the site at pres
emit, but the new field will be made
much larger through the shifting Of a
road and the grading of the present
hill in the outfield.

The name of Philip Kenneth vase
wan. of the Los Angeles A. c., was
totally unknown week ago in aquatic
circles at least outside of Los Angeles.
To-day it is attracting attention
+hronghoui the country, for this new
candidate for fancy diving laurels has
been pronounced by his coach. Vance
Vieth, the greatest springooard arusV
ever developed.
1t seems strange that an athlete
should attain championship rank COM
pletely under cover. but the expiana-
tion is to be found in the fact that
Wiseman could not be induced until q
few days ago to become contestant
Writes Vieth concerning his protege:
~ have known ever since Wlseman
took up diving seven years ago that he
had exceptional ability, but there was
no use making claim for him, as his
,rnwillingness TO compete made 1t I'M
POSSIBLE to prove them. But now that
he is ready to meet all corners | have
no hesitation in declaring him the
finest springboard diver | ever laid
ewes on; and ! have seen Americas
best.
"His form is superb, and he has a
repertorv which includes feats one
would hardly believe could be executed.
Not only does he perform faultlessly
every dive on the A. A. U. table, but
also some more difficult ones, which are
not even listed. l feel absolutely con-
ident he will defeat all rivals, for he
is marvel" Wiseman is husky
youth of twenty three, unusually heav-
lily built for diver, and we may soon
learn how he compares with other top
notchers, for he expects to bid for the
national title.

The Professor in Business.

Editor the AIissourian: The war

status. Popular opinion of profess

PEELED by the exhibition of competence
in many fields outside the classroom
during the war. In the words of
President Strayer OF the National Edu-
cation Association, 1.-The war has actu-
ally created a market for college pro-
fessors" A list of the professors in
the United States will include some of
the biggest names in the story of the
achievements of the war.
The effect is inevitably to inspire a
competition which the colleges must
meet through larger salaries if they
are to rtain the services of teachers
of the first rank. Men of superior en-
dowments whose ambition and field
was limited to university honors have
matched minds with men in other pur-
suits with results that would dispose
them to continue in the larger field

work, the traditions of the schools,
the social standing and other things
that bind so many men to the univer-

AIRPLANE RACE FROM N. Y.
Slow Ship May Win $4,000 Prize, Ac'
c0rding to Rules.

Iy United Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Airplanes of
all sorts were to start today in the
round-trip handicap race for Ameri-
can-built planes between New York
and Toronto. The American Flying
Club has charge of the program.
Commercial, as well as pleasure
cars, were to take part in the contest,
which, according to the rules, may as
well be won by slow ship as a
speedy one. The directors have work
ed out mathematical formula, they
contend, whereby the slower ships,
benefited by handicap, may finish
last and yet win the prizes. The for
mula includes horsepower, weight
and time of flight.
The prizes run form small amounts
to the Commodore Prize of $4,000.
Army fiiers will be entered, but the
War Department has forbidden their
acceptance of any prizes.

CONSERVE OUR LUMBER!

1t is estimated by careful investiga-
tors that the American timber supply
at the present rate of consumption
will be exhausted in about sixty years.
For a number of years the United
States has furnished half of the
worlds lumber. Our great forests
are going at the rate of 15,O0O,OOO
acres a year.
Forest fires in Wisconsin and Mich
igan wastefully destroyed S,4O0,OOO
acres of trees valued at $2S,500,000 in
1918. This summer saw another loss
in this way in the timber of Washing
ton and Oregon. Someone's careless
ness was responsible for all these
losses.
Lieut.. John Hopkins of Omaha, who
for many months was stationed in the
airplane spruce-cutting lumber camps
of Washington, claims that 100000
feet of spruce lumber were cut for
every 1000 feet used in airplanes. He
charges that contractors wasted, cut
and slashed in every direction and
that Washington lumber companies
used the government to further their
own ends to obtain choice trees.
The Lumbermen's Association says
that within five years 5000 sawmills
in the South will go out of business
on account of the exhaustion of pine
The forests of Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota produce little timber
now
Years ago many European countries
realized that timberless condition
was threatening. They made begin
ming in forestry and the conservation
of lumber. Today France and Ger
many keep at least fifth of their
land in trees 1t is looked upon as
necessary crop.
Perhaps it is not too late now if the
United States government would in,
augurate rigid system to increase
our lumber crop and to prevent fur.
ther needless waste. If lumber com
panies were forbidden to saw up trees
of less than a certain age in order tc
guarantee more lumber from every
tree and were compelled to plant two
trees for every one removed, then per
haps We could continue ur heavy ex
ports of lumber The situation is i'm
perative. Drastic measures must bt
taken or cur forests and lumber tredt
will go to way of the deer and the buf
falo in the United States.

WHISKY

For every good there is an evil. This
is true in the case of national prohlpi-
ton. Bootlegging flourished exten-
sively in dry states, but when the Ma
ton went on the water wagon bootleg
ging became a capitalized business.
There is story in circulation that
somewhere around Wichita, Kan,
there is cached 10000 cases of whisky
purchased for $40 case. According
to street quotations whisky is worth
So a pint in Wichita, and at this rate
the amount cached is worth S2,4OO,OoO.
Captain Kidd's treasure chests would
look cheap in comparison.
This does not mean that revenue
officers are sleeping. No doubt they
were the first to learn of this. but
the chances of apprehending the own
ers are small as the liquor is handled
by a third party who is usually sur
rounded by such circumstances that
he dare not reveal his employers.
There is a fascination in this traffic
other than that of making enormous
profits. 1t is the fascination of elud-
ing the law-doing something that is
prohibited Many novelist could
make a haloed hero of bootlegger,
while the culprit peddling his wares
might curse his luck for being driven
to it
