MAY ROB AMERICA
OF COLLEGE STARS.
Aggravation of Financing
Problem Also Is Seen
in Toxic Decision.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS,


CHICAGO, March 19.-Inasmuch
as 80 per cent Of the track and field
points scored by the United States in
the last Olympiad at Berlin was &C.
complished by under or recent college
graduates. the value of campus ath-
letes In the international games Is
without dispute. Consequently, men,
bers OF the United States Olympic
committees are worried considerably
by Japan's decision to stage the 1910
games between September 2l and Oc-
tober 6.
This means that undergraduate
members OF any United States team
Will not be able to resume classroom
exercises until late in October, when
the fall semester or quarter will have
been under way from six weeks to
month. Since colleges have strict
rules for matriculation and registra-
ton. 1t further means that members
OF the Olympic teams probably must
miss the full quarter or semester. The
probable result will be that a good
percentage Of college athletes will pass
up the Olympics in order to maintain
class standing. That particularly is
true OF football players, and in the
past many of our weight men also
have been gridiron stars.
May Hinder Financing.
The situation also may handicap
the financing of the United States
track and field, swimming and wres-
Ting teams and the crew, since that
task was to be undertaken to a large
extent by the colleges of the country
II the colleges are not able to have
thelr usual representation, it follows
they Will not have their customary in
terest IN financing the teams. With
out the normal complement of college
stars. the United States would be
weakened greatly in track and field
but that probably will be satisfactory
to several nations, who are Jealous
OF our continued supremacy in those
events.
The late dates for the 1910 Olympics
will work no hardship on any country
except the United States, for none OF
the others is so dependent upon COL
lege performers. European track and
feld teams are composed mainly of
club men who are available at anv
time OF the year. Further, many Euro
pean teams are financed by their gov
ernments, which eliminates the prob
lem OF raising funds by public SUBJ
scrlption or other means.
Abetted by Germany, Italy.
While members of the United States
Olympic Committee refuse to believe
the late dates for the 1910 games were
suggested by any political motive, thev
40 point out that Japan was supported
by Germany and Italy, two totalitarian
nations. There seems to be little SEN
timent for the withdrawal of the
United States from the games, al
though that may develop to some ex-
tent IN the future. The United States
only can play the role of good sport
IN the matter, even though it results in
our sending an unrepresentative team,
There also Is a presentiment among
some Olympic Committee members
that world events will prevent the
games being held in Toxic and that.
perhaps, is one reason why they pre-
Ter to wait on the happenings of the
next year before doing any heavy wor-
fy1ng.

almost unbelievable, but he pieced to-
gether strings Of 157, 165, 1873 and ISL
from 1929-l932.
But Simmons is not the mighty
man at the bat he used to be. In his
last four campaigns, Simmons record
IN that phase Of the game is 379 runs.
Al need not apologize for 37s, Of
course. The point Is that when q
ball club has two right-handed hitters
like Simmons and Bonura driving
runs across and left-handed swatters
like Almada, Lewis, Myer, Stone and
Travis getting on base, Washington
ought to have a pretty fair country
o1ense.
Wasdell Finally Gets Chance.
Bonura Is due to arrive In Orlando
tomorrow morning. while the Nationals
will be at Lakeland TO play the De-
troit Tigers. Zeke, who had been
holding out from the White Sox, Is
not in shape to play ball. He will need
a week or 10 days Of preliminary work.
Thus Rookie Jimmy Wasdell, who
had been trying to supplant Kuhel,
will get his big chance at last. Until
Bonura whips himself into shape, the
22-year-old youngster will hold sway
at first base in his first sustained trial
since he was purchased from Min
neapolis more than a year ago.
There is, Of course, 4 bare chance
that Wasdell may perform 30 well that
Bonura never will make" the Grins.
Don't bet on that, however, and this
IS not saying that Wasdell Is not 4
nne ball player. But the Mats have
been cunning for that big Italian
thumper too long to waste him on the
bench. Wasdell would have to hit $50
to stay on the bag. The trade wasn't
tough on Kuhel, nor on Bonura, It
was Rookie Jimmy who got the bad
break.

NEW YORK, April 8.-The last
chapter of the story of the fight of
Robert R. Young versus Wall street
interests for control of the Chesa-
peake g. Ohio Railroad will not be
written today; thanks to last-minute
legal coup. there's more to come.
The scene of the struggle was shift
ed to the United States Circuit Court
Of Appeals, however. when Judge AL
bert c. Coke of the Federal District
Court. granted Mr.. Young permission
to carry to the circuit bench his fight
to oust the Guaranty Trust Co. from
the trusteeship of bonds for which it
holds as collateral stock that means
voting control of the Chesapeake Corp

Sought Injunction.
Mr. Young, who won"supreme power
In the Van Sweringen system last
spring. contends Guaranty Trust in
tended to vote the Chesapeake stock at
stockholders meeting in Baltimore
today in violation of its trusteeship and
for reasons connected with its financial
relationship with powerful banking in
tereSts. Mr.. Young named these inter-
ests as J. P. Morgan &, Co., General
Motors Corp; Morgan, Stanley e. Co..
and others.
He sought an injunction to restrain
Guaranty Trust from voting the Ches-
apeake shares and removal of the bank
as trustee for the Allegheny bonds.
1t seemed he had lost when Judge
Coke denied the plea yesterday, say
ing he found no evidence of bad faith
on the part of the bank This meant
that Guaranty Trust would have gone
to the Chesapeake stockholders meet
Ing today with free hand.
Order Issued.
But later Judge Coke gave pern1is-
sion to carry the plea to the Circuit
Court and Judge Martin T. Manton,
presiding on that bench. issued a re-
straining order and called on the bank
to show cause on Monday why pre-
liminary injunction should not be IS
sued.
BY stipulation the Chesapeake meet
ing was adjourned until April Is. four
days before the annual meeting of

Compliment to E. l.. Haynes

Compliment to E. l.. Haynes
Col. Edgar L. Haynes Of
Wilmington, well known in
Smyrna where his parents,
the late Rev. and Mrs. Thomas
H. Haynes made their home,
has again been reelected
president of the Board of
Park Commissioners of the
City of Wilmington. We quite
agree with the Journal-Every
Evening that it is a deserved
recognition to a long and
faithful service ana a "vote
of confidence in his policy and
the program he is ably direct
ing. Col. Haynes completed
II years as president of the
board, and now starts on his
thirteenth year. The eXecu-
tive head of the Park Commits
sion has great responsibility.
The president and other mem
bers of the board devote much
of their time to the dtails. In
fact, the present president,
and those who have preceded
him in that office, have given
constant attention to the
work.
Says the Journal-Every Ev-
ening: "The park commission
ers receive no pay. They serve
because they consider it a
duty to the public. They give
of theri time that the trust
assigned them may be carried
out in a proper manner.
"Wilmington's park system
/ is one Of the city's best assets.

"It is in the nature Of
things that police service
should keep pace with re
quirements and in adding to
the personnel the new mem
bers should be chosen on a
basis of proper qualifications
and fitness for their tasks as
a prime requisite, rather than
as a reward for political activ-
tiles.
"The state police force will
function best when its mem
bers are fully assured that
their positions are secure SO
long as they perform their
duties meritoriously and effic-
iently, and that they are not
subject to removal to crafty
mere partisan whims."

give this high type of service

Policing of Our Highways

With the multiplying of
automobiles on our public
highways and the growing
number of auto accidents, we
agree with the Journal-Every
Evening. ''The State High
way Commission will be justi-
fed in increasing the state po-
lice force, which, according to
a member of the board, is
probable. While the members
of the force are required to
perform general police work
they are obligated to give
special attention to traffic.
One of the principal response
bilities of the department is to
patrol the highways.
"This obligation has in
creased very materially since
the state took over the coun-
ty roads. General police work
is increasing, also, with the
expansion in residential de
velopment outside Of the cities
and towns.

Attract Some Factories Here


Rumor has it that there is
possibility of getting one or
two industries to locate in
Smyrna, one of which will en-
ploy a hundred or more men
and women. Our Town Coun-
Gil and Business Mems Asso-
citation are cooperating to lend
every reasonable inducement
to bring industries to Smyrna.
And why not! No commun-
ity in the state can offer more
in the way of resources, be-
ing near railroad, naviga-
ton and boulevard. Smyrna
can supply said industries
with electricity, water and
sewer. All the inducements
needed are right here. Help
and housing conditions will
take care of themselves at the
word Of the industrial owners.
Smyrna needs industries to
help the community grow
with industries will come pep
lei stores and business houses
and a livelier community in
every way. We are happy tx
note Smyrna Town Council
and its Business Mems Asso-
citation are alive to the oppor-
tunity. Let Us hope their eff
forts will bring results.

 A war will now probably not of- fer us any chance of selling vast quantities of goods at high prices; and the promised peace will settle no problems but merely give us a breathing space to try to settle them in quiet.
 War would probably have de- stroyed our civilization. Now we have a chance to salvage what we can of the old values which made that civilization cherished by ln- dependent democracies, and to re- adjust the social and economic machinery to permanently altered conditions.
 If we can solve our domestic problems, I believe that conditions in Europe mean that the star oi destiny will shine above the New and not the Old World in the fu- ture, but not that they mean any sudden or immediate shift in oul own economic world position.
