Mars is now nearing the earth ano
telescopes big and little are being turn
ed toward it,
This is a time when the owner OF a
small telescope need not envy the own
er Of a larger one. for when it come:
TO seeing things at night on Mars, the
amateur with an active imagination can
beat the big observatories. He can in
terpret the red color and the blush
greenish and greyish patches as he
pleases and endow the planet with such
corresponding forms Of life as he can
conjure up. The astronomical auihori.
Ties may never believe him but they
cannot yet disprove him.
Mars is one of the few fields left for
the sport speculation.
Mars may now be seen any clear ev-
ening above the southeastern horizon,
after the brighter Venus has set in the
west.
Mars comes nearer TO the earth this
month than it has been since 1909 OF
than il will be until 1924. On May Is,
Mars was 5l.5OO,OOO miles away from
us. At 5 p. m. on June l8 it was A.
3500O0 miles away. Then the two plan
cts will draw apart until by September
!. Mars will be 67,000OO0 miles distant.
The planets 90 around the sun in the
same direction at varying rates of speed
like racing horses. Mars, being on an
outside ring. requires nearly twice as
long as the earth to complete its year.
They come closest of course whenever
they happen 10 pass on the same side
Of the sun. but since they do not move
in perfect circles. they come nearer at
the earth and Mars will come about as
close together as they ever can, that is,
less than 35,OOO,OO0 miles.
In former times the approach Of the
fiery red martial planet would have
aroused public alarm as presaging wars
and revolutions but nowadays the signs
Of such calamaties are son conspicuous on
earth that We have no need TO seek them
in the heavens.
PUBLIC Is INTERESTED
But il is curious TO notice that the
public takes more interest than the as
tronomers in the nearing of Mars. This
is because Of the popular expectation
of some evidence Of animal life, per-
haps even of civilization.
Man has already had a horror of be-
ing left alone in the universe and has
eagerly grasped the slightest signs of
the habtability of other worlds than
ours. Forty-fye years ago an Italian as
tronomer, Schiaparelli, announced the
discovery Of dark streaks on the disk of
Mars, which he called canals" and sur
missed TO be belts Of irrigated crops.
He spent the next ten years trying to
convince his incredulous colleagues Of
the reality Of his observations and the
truth Of his theory. though with little
success.
But he secured a valiant champion in
the late Percival Lowell, who set up an
observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona. for the
express study of Mars. He was, like his
sister, Miss Amy. Lowell, a brilliant
writer and in the course Of the next
ten years had impressed the public with
the belief that Mars was inhabitated by
highly civilized beings, who utilized the

Neither Greb
Nor Gibbons
DempSey's Match
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. }
NEW YORK, March s2.-Neither
Tom Gibbons nor Harry Greb are
ready to be thrown in the cage with
Jack Dempsey.
1t was perfectly clear to all who saw
the recent Gibbons-Greb fight that if
they are the nearest contenders
Dempsey will not have to go to bed
early every night.
The very serious doubt now exists
that either will ever be worthy op-
ponet for the champion.
Most of the aspiring heavyweights
so along on the theory-"We'n let
Dempsey alone for a couple of years
and he'll whip himself"
1t may be all right to figure that
Dempsey will lose some class with in
creasing age, but both Greb and Glib
bons will be getting older at the same
time and both have two or three years
on the champion.
Greb is great little fighter, but he
Is hardly more than a heavy" mid
dleweight. If he could ever lure
Johnny Wilson into the ring, the title
would pass over to him. If he could
get Gene Tuney into the ring there
would be fine chance for new
light-heavyweight champion, but if he
Got Dempsey there could be nothing
but another victim on the Manassa
maulers list. >fe
Friends of the Pittsburgh hoy point
out that he mussed up the champion
considerably when he was sparring
with him before the Dempsey -Bren-
nan fight. He may have bothered
him then and he would annoy the
champion for while If they went
into the ring now, but 1t would be
only for a while. Against Gibbons.
Greb showed that he can't hit a lick
and no one is going to stand q chance
with Dempsey who cannot hurt the
big fellow.
Gibbons ought to make an opponent
for Dempsey. but he lacks something.

dollars. He has the size, he is cleverl

Move Made to
Give u. S. Better
Olympic Teams
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. }
NEW YORK. March 22.-Morc
good moves to prepare for the 1924
Olympic games are being made by
American athletic heads.
The need of distance runners and
field meh is SO generally recognized
that special efforts will be made this
year to develop stars in these depart
ments.
The intercollegiate athletic associa-
ton recently added the discus and ia
relin throw to the program for the
college championships and it is likely
that the five mile race and the 440-
Yards hurdles will be included on the
card for this years. championships at
Harvard
The discus and javelin events were
added for the sole purpose of interest
ing college men in line of athletics
that has been neglected. America has
MT a man in either event that can
come up to the stars of several Euro
pean nations and it is extremely
doubtful if any American can, ever
reach the point of perfection with the
Jarelin that marks the throwing Of the
Fins. The discus is more Of an.
american event, however.
With the A. A. L. and the college
authorities working together in the
campaign to develop more distance
runners there is little doubt that the
team which will be, sent To Paris will
make a better showing in the middle
and long distance races than the last
team made in Antwerp.
Success in the future will depend
largely upon the degree of interest
-'hHt can he worked up among the
high schol and prep school boys.
There are any number of promising
Young runners now, especially among
the college freshmen.
