HIGH COST OF
 ATHLE LETlG3 HaS
 ALARMED FAMS

New York, Sept -5-Rccent pro tes,- of star amateur athletes who have been invited to take part in contests in various parts of the COuu- try that they cannot live properly dur Ing the meets on the amount of e,- peuse money allowed Ig tine rules os the Amateur Athletic Union, and that they intend to file % protest with the national body at its meeting in Phil adeIphia, call renewed attention to the fact that sport and Ia-,iuo are not exempt from the law of supply and demand. The II. C. of L. strikes ar athletics as much as aL Oth- CT activities. Nor is this effect con- fined 10 athletes who travel from one meet or tournament to another; it concerns especially the moro humble follower oL sport, who mus pay more for his racquet or his ball and club or his rod or his gun.
 The demand for recreation in sports has increased immCasurably since the
 war ended. Citizens and soldiers alike feel the call of the open. The latter especially find their transition 10 a civilian existence, difficult as it is at the best much less trying if they can gratify a taste for athletics which the army dld much 10 incuIcatc. and if they can continue, in a measure al least, the physical activity which was so much a part of their lives in the field
 That is the principal explanation for the increased demand for sports and for a demand that is likely to con tinue. And that demand is answer cd, in the final analysis. by the high CT prices of sport. Athletics of one sort or another have become great CT necessity than ever before. and people in general are willing to pay whatever is asked for them
 It is in that fact that the danger lies of the probable failure of a re- turn to normal. Naturally, with everything else up in price, it would be impossible to expect that the cost of sport would remain at the old level particularly as no government or legislative policy toward the reduc- ton of the hi-h cost of living could be expected to embrace athletics But it is unfortunate that a standard of eNtrava gauce in sport should be estab- lished at this time of it's Crea test value and importance. Perhaps a majority will be able 10 meet the ad- vance. But there will be many oth- CTS who, when sport becomes eNpens- i've, will of necessity, be excluded from it's benefits. Extravagance and OstenratiOn are opposed to the demo- cratic ideals of the game.

COLUMBIA ID
 LEAVE HUDSON FOR THE HARLEM

New York; Sept. 15.---Columbia is preparing for the greatest rowing year in its history, accordiuE to Jim Rice, the veteran coach, who returned to his berth at Morningsde Heights last week. Yesterday Coach Rice made known some of the rowing plans he has formulated and most important of all the changes is that Columbia will abandon is rowing equipment on the Hudson and do all its practice work on the Harlem River.
 This step is being taken only after careful consideration of the rowing opportunities on both waters, because 1t means that Columbia's two boat houses on the Hudson River hence forth will be given up. The principal part of the equipment has been the Gould boat house, at the foot of 115th street, expensively constructed and well appointed quarters, with a large storage space for the shells. Assist ant Coach Fred Plaisted has made his home here for several years and has acted as 5boatman of the club. Across the river, at Edgewater, E- T. Co., lumbia, Oarsmen for many seasons have had their practice spins on the Hudson. Here the equipment includes a remOdeled shed and river barge, where, in addition to the space for the shells, are located dressing quar- teTs and shower baths.
 Coach Rice has practically comp1et- ed arrangements with the Union Boat Club on the Harlem River to house the Columbia shells and equipment until a permanent location can be ob- tained. Rice pointed out to the uni versity authorities that at best rowing is possible only three or four days a week on the Hudson. The tides, cur rent, and most of all, the sweep of
 wind rOughs the water easily. even on the somewhat protected Jersey side under the lee of the Palisades. In past seasons day after day it was found too dangeraus to send out the fraiI shells, and, on many occasions in the middle of the practice season, the water was much too rough for even the sturdier barges. On the Harlem, however, smooth water is assured and the improvement of the sewage sys- tenn in recent years has corrected one of the bad features of rowing there.

RAYN-CARTER SIX ROUNDER.

The Twentieth Century was just two years old when Tommy Ryan and Kid Carter met at Fort Erie. In the fight Carter rushed as usual and pasted away anXiously until Ryan. who was waiting for an opening. found it. Then Tommy swung his right to Carter's jaw, and Carter went down for a nine count. He was knocked down several times before he stayed for ten full seconds. but after the first clout Tom my Ryan never gave him chance to recover. Each time Ryan struck just one blow, and the referee had his counting to do until the sixth when the kid took his time about get..=- up and the ref couldn't think of any number higher than ten.

Archer who acted as willards -- rotary at Toledo, has also been tour- ing the West telling of Willard's fine condition.
 The Sun declares Willard had his chance in the Dempsey bout and while he made the most of it finan- cially he did not give the public the best he had. It is stated that Will lard's retirement from the ring was great thing for the game as there has been great interest in the heavy weight class since he went back to the farm.
 Willard was never a popular cham p,on because he showed that he cared nothing for fighting but was in the game only for what money he could get out of it.

 Hats were thrown in the air and the crowd cheered for almost five minutes. Kramer was delighted with ! his victory. Eaton was crowned is champion and was given two large bouquets of flowers, but his reception was nowhere near ss enthusiastic a. that which greeted Kramer.

HARVEST HANDS
SEIZE TRAINS
AND MOVE NORTH
Railroads Unable to Stop Men
From Taking Free Rides;
$50 Board Train, Defy
Crew.

Passenger travel on the freight
trains is the heaviest in years, yet it
is not a revenue producer for the
railroads, or for the government.
The men who are riding are harvest
hands and they are moving north
out of Oklahoma, Kansas and Ne
braska. They are riding in car
lots, and railroad officials are I'M
able to stop the movement or col
lect fares. The facts are that, as a
rule, they are permitting the men
to move on to the fields of the Da-
kotas and Minnesota, there to
gather the grain that is about ready
for the harvest.
A few weeks ago the railroad adj
ministration and the government
labor employment bureau, through
publicity departments, urged men to
hurry to the harvest fields. The
result was that--they swarmed over
Oklahoma and Kansas. When the
harvest was finished in these two
states, the harvesters invaded Ne
braska and with the small grain crop
gathered in this state, the men are
ready to move north and they are
moving.
Monday night something like $50
harvest hands boarded a Burlington
freight train at small stations IN
southern Nebraska and northern
Kansas, defied the train crew to put
them off and rode on north. Some
thing like 100 of them stopped off
in Lincoln and the others came on
through into Omaha. Yesterday they
were in the freight yards, waiting
for for train going north.
The Union Pacific and Rock
Island are having similar expert
ences. The harvest is over and hum
dreds of men are moving, or ready
to move north.
While railroad officials are not en-
couraging the men to take posses
sion of freight cars and ride free,
recognizing the importance of the
harvest of the Dakotas and Mime
sofa being gathered, no concerted
move is made to break up the prac-
tice. Railroad special agents usually
meet the large parties of harvesters
at terminals and if they locate l.
w. VS., they take them out, Jail
them, or make them pay fare from
the points where they boarded the
trains.
As a rule the harvesters, so rail-
road officials say, are working men
and boys from the eastrn states who
have been lured west by the reports
of high wages and a long period Ct
steady work. Few of them desire
to remain in the cities and towns.

To Take Up Plan Next
Week for Building for
Small Manufacturers

Consideration by Omaha realtors
of the proposition to erect an in
dustrial building in which space,
power and light will be leased to
small manufacturing concerns, has
gone over until next week, due to
the fact that so many of the inter-
ested parties are away on their va
cations.
F. H. Myers, who is boosting the
movement to put up an industrial
building, has several locations in
view, all of which have trackage
His idea is that the structure should
be not less than six stories high and
1872 feet square He has made a
canvass among the real estate men
of the city and finds that generally
they look with favor upon the prop
osition. Most of them would put
money into the erection of such a
building.
Mr.. Myers asserts that there are
scores of small manufacturers who
are anxious to come to Omaha, but
the inability to obtain space and
power is keeping them away. A
building, such as is contemplated,
it is believed could be filled with
tenants Immediately upon its COM
