SYMPTOMS OF
SPORT FEVER
Uncle Sam Came Out Of the War
With Severe Attack of Ath-
leticitis Which Seems
IncurabIe.
[By Henry L. Farrell, United Press

'[By Henry L. Farrell, United Press
Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 5.-Uncle Sam
came out of the war with the sport
fever. Symptoms Of a deadly in
Iterest' in athletics were shown by
the government when the Yank army
was being trained and later when il
WIS yearning for something to do in
the dull after armistice days.
| The army then got its feet real
wet in sports. 1t promoted two of
the biggest games of history, the A..
E. F. tournament and the inter-allied
games. The task called for execu-
tive genius, unlimited tact, indie
,fatigable energy and carloads of
american pep. The success Of the
two big ventures not only brought
universal commentator upon the
athletic officers of the army, but it
gave them valuable experience and
showed the potential possibilities of
the army's hand in the athletic
wheels.
The war department has declared
a policy Of government control of
athletics. but it is slowly working
into it unofficially.
! The handwriting is evident on the
wall with government support of
collegiate polo, reorganization of the
New York military league, numerous
indoor track meets held this season
under the auspices of various armv
organizations and boxing bouts held
by the army and posts of the Ameri-
can Legion.
If universal training is adopted 'by
the United States it is a safe asser-
ition that the army will direct prac-
Etically all of the nations junior ath-
Iletic activities, as is the case in Bel
GUM and several other European ma.
..tions The Olympic games, as is
known, are to be conducted by the
Belgian war department

Auto Licenses Sus-
pended and Revoked

Secretary of State Frank w Ball
during the present year. under the
power by the registration laws, has
revoked the automobile licenses of %
persons. In 10 instances the revoca
tons were the result of convictions in
court of driving an automobile while
under the influence of intoxicating
liquor and in the other seven in
stances reckless driving was the
cause.
|. During the year Secretary Ball sus-
pended 26 persons for the reckless
driving of automobiles and in three
instances the suspensions were re-
moved, after it was thought by the
authorities that the persons had been
sufficiently punished.
The Maine law shows distinction
and a marked one between suspension
and revocation of an automobile
license. When a person is suspend
ed. he may be re-instated, but when
the license is revoked. shat person
will not be permitted to operate a
motor vehicle for period of three
years.

SHIRLEY MASON
HAS THE ROLE
OF A Roy

Shirley Mason as a boy--it seems
hard to believe it, but that is just
the role she plays in Treasure ISL
and" Maurice Tourneur's great Par
amount Aircraft picture that will be
seen at the Augusta Opera house
Friday and Saturday. While Tour
neur. was selecting the cast for this
super feature, he searched far and
wide for boy actor to play the role
of Jim Hawkins, hero Of the Robert
Louis Stevenson novel. He inter-
viewed several youthful aspirants,
but somehow none Of them seemed to
fit Mr.. Tourncur's conception of Jim.
Suddenly the thought flashed through
his mind that girl could probably
lend more charm and piquancy to
the part than any boy could hope to
attain. He at once hit upon Shirley
Mason as the ideal type, and he sent
for her.
Miss Mason was enthusiastic at
once. 1t developed that Treasure
Island was her fayorite novel and
that, from continual re-readings. she
knew the exploits Of Jim Hawkins
like a book. Boys in the period OF
the Stevenson story wore their hair
long so there was no trouble on that
score. Miss Mason quickly proved
herself IL sturdy Jim. ready to take
d strenuous part in the rough and
tumble fights that the action re-

Silver, and Al Filson is Bill Bones.
Treasure Island" is given with all
the layishness that has made Maui
rice Tourneur one of the worlds
greatest directors and the superior
of them all in sea pictures. The ia
nous story by Stevenson is repro
duced so faithfully and with such
