 Dates for the meetings to decide whether baseball will continue its wartime operation were set yester- day. The American and National league meetings are scheduled Dec. I-2, the joint session of the majors Dec. 3 and the confab of the minors Dec. 1.
 As soon as baseball Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis returns from a vacation in Michigan, he is expected to prepare the list of topics to be discussed. It was believed that Lan- dis, individually or with other rank ing diamond officials, would seek from President Roosevelt new statement. on the governments att titude towards baseball's play next season.
 Last Jan. IS President Roosevelt gave ms appIOVa4 AOE tAAe eaAAS continuance.
 Sanction Needed
 Conditions have changed since and many baseball men believe it essential to get a new okay before going ahead with plans.
 With g governmental Ego ahead" " the big problem will be transporta- tion.
 A recent order of the Office of Defense Transportation prohibits the chartering of special Pullman cars such as the teams used last season. Without some travel sanc- tion from the government, it is doubtful that teams could consistent ly get accommodations required to meet schedule dates.

Players Participating in Gambling Racket, However Small, Principal Evil at Kent State; Athletes Were Selling Football Pool Tickets

That is where the bad angle comes in. One gambling involvement brings on another. It goes without saying that college boys, especially combat ants, should be steered clear of gambling in any form.
 As I remarked previously, this is the first time college football has felt the breath of scandal on the back of its broad neck.
 College officials should take good care that 1t is the last.

Fernando answered E. ."All right then, your old
fashioned girl gets the place of honor at the
party"
This place of honor did Fernando's magma

set in the middle of the floor under bright green
lights specially constructed. In this coffin lay
the girl, whensthe party began. She was covered,
then with nothing but her hair which, strangely
enough, seemed to be long. About the girl in
the place of honor lay twelve other girls, also
naked save for wisp of veil They all were grouped
on Turkish carpets around the central girl
So the dim lights shone, the hidden orchestra
started up the overture, and the German officers
stepped upon the balcony where they were to sup
and watch the performance on the floor below
Then they shouted out with loud cries of approba-
ton. Gott this party!

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Haircuts and haberdashery have
played an important part in the
motion picture career Of Charles
Drake.
Formerly an athlete at Nichols
College, Dudley, Mass, the youth
full, collegiate-type actor first came
to Hollywood on his own money.
Two months later, after a futile ef-
fort to crash the movies, he still
had enough change left to get back
to New York.
The second time Drake got to the
film capital, he came as the winner
of a contest conducted by Producer
Jesse L. Lasky.
He wore a collegiate crew haircut
and clothes and looked every bit
the part of typical rah-rah boy.
However, his agent politely called
him that if he would let his hair
grow longer there was good role
in the movies awaiting him.
He did just that, but later was
told that Warmers would give him
test if he would wear a crew hair
cut and typical college clothes for
the tryout.
So he had his hair cut again, dug
his collegiate clothes out of the
trunk. and sure enough the studio
was right. 1t gave him the test and
signed him to a contract.
Now he Is appearing in picture
