College Baseball To Gain
 Post-War Popularity

to set up a baseball diamond when they get shore leave on an island
 Baseball is the most popular sports among the men who man the ships" Becker told his listeners in Weightman Hall. They can't wait to get ashore to start playing And they talk about the sport all the time. The average American boy regards baseball as the national sport whether he is a player or a plain fan"
 This year, despite the war and the loss of large number of players who would have made the team even stronger than it is, Pennsyl- vania is enjoying it's best baseball season since 1881 when it won the Eastern Inter- Collegiate champion ship. One more game with Prince ton at home next Saturday after noon, remains before the end of the season.

Silver Stars Looking For Games With All Teams:

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Town Crier used to sing out all day long time ago; once again this call is be- ing taken up but not by the Town Crier. It is being taken up by the Silver Stars who are Whooping for games. This team has played two so far this season and has won two And now it wants to play any of the following teams, High School teams, Amateur League teams, Independent teams, or in other words, any team that is looking for game or a ser ieS of games. This team is willing to travel or to have you play on their field, or both. For further informa- tion, write or get in touch with Yin Maloney, in care of the Sports De- partment of this paper.

Philadelphia, May 13 - College baseball is due after the war to have a resurgence in both spectator and player interest that may return it to the popularity it enjoyed im- mediately after the last war, in the opinion of Dr. Walter Cariss, coach of Pennsylvania's diamond teams for the past g years.
 'In 1921, just two years after many of the players had been dis charged from the services, college baseball enjoyed one of its most popular years" said the veteran coach himself a captain in the Medical Corps in the last war.
 That was my first year of var sity coaching" he continued. "The squad that reported was larger than either I or anyone connected with Pennsylvania's athletics expected. Many of the players were a year or two older than the average college youth. Poise and experience, two valuable factors in baseball, were more abundant among the older players than the younger ones.
 Every college felt the urge for baseball. Our schedule contained 28 games, eight to ten more than we played in recent years. We won 18 of them. A year later we played 26 and won 16; in 1923 we played 28 and won 23, and in 1924, wep layed 9, won eighteen, lost three and tied one.
 Most Popular
 "In every camp there are scores of baseball teams representing the camps, divisions, regiments, com- panies and even platoons. Baseball is the most popular sport among the men in service. With the experience they will have gained in camp and their natural desire to play the sport, those returning to college after the war should give us a brand of baseball that will be far superior to what we have had the past ten or twelve years.
 pr. Cariss pointed out that the lowering of the draft age to SAtoAAoSSA AiuO tuhCll 1lOIIl UIlC campuses of the nation many po- tential baseball stars who either played a season of freshman base ball or played on their high school or prep school teams. These young sters will want to return to college after the war and because of their training, will also want to continue in athletics and more particularly in baseball when they do take their places in the classroomS of the schools and college.
 Becker Speaks
 To lend additional weight to Dr. CariSs' statement, Lieutenant George A. Becker, of the Navy centerhelder on the varsity baseball team in 1888, returned to the campus last week after year and a half in the South Pacific and told how the man on the battleships, cruisers, destroyers and other ships of war make for the first open field

H. B. SWOPE SEES CO-0RDINA
 AT WASHINGTON
"CIearing House Needed" Says New York State
 Racing Chairman
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

BY JACK CUDDY
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, May 13.-CUP)-The sports world today eagerly awaited official Washington reaction to Her. bert Bayard SWope's surprise predic- tion that national sports co-ordin- ator will be appointed soon-pos- sibly U. s. Senator James Mead of Buffalo, N. Y.
 SWope, chairman of the New York state racing commission and a con- sultant of the War Department, made this unexpected forecast at last nights dinner of the National Association of State Racing commits sioners at the Waldorf Astoria.
 Addressing the commissioners, Swope said, T do not know who is going to get the job. Several men are being discussed" Later he told the United Press that Senator Mead seemed the leading candidate. Mead is an important stockholder in the Buffalo Club of the Inter national Baseball league
 DCCh
 SWope emphasized that certain administrators" in Washington heartily favor the appointment of a co-ordinator to obtain the utmost cooperation of professional sports in the war effort without interfer- ing with the rationing of rubber and gasoline and other transportation difficulties.
 SWope said a co-ordinator in Washington would do sports "a lot of good' because he could forestaIl mistakes and achieve a unity of &C., tion among sports leaders that in some instances has been lacking since Pearl Harbor.
 "A clearing house is needed in Washington" he continued. The way it is now, man doing a good job in San Francisco, for example, may not even be heard of in Coney Island. Many sports have not talk en their problems to Washington, thus far, and have suffered as a result"
 Asked how much authority the CO., ordinator would have Swope said, "the power of any man is gov erned by his ability"
 Actually, I doubt if the appoint ment will be clothed with much of- ficial authority" he added, but it will have much moral authority in obtaining sports coordination with the war effort. One of his first jobs would be to learn what is the national attitude toward profess sional sports and to arrange the sports program to conform with war regulations.
 N. Y. Racing Approved
 Concerning the conduct of rac- ing, Swope said that William Jeff fers, national rubber administrator, and Joseph Eastman, administrator of the Office of Defense Transpor- tation, have approved the extent of cooperation given war measures by New Yorok tracks.
 At the meeting before last nights association dinner, Major Tom H. McCreery, head of the HorSemen'S s Benevolent and Protective Associa- tion, suggested that committee of two qualified rainers and one stew ard be named to judge the com potency of all trainers.
 Charles F. Connors, chairman of the Massachusetts commission, was elected president of the commis- sioners' association.

stars are still tere-the four hieh- wire Wallendas, the six Loyal. Rapensky's balanced at 0 gallop in their equestrian pyramid, the amaz- ing Chinese NaittoS. These are joined by new stars for whom the high top is a war haven. Talk of the show is a new, mysterious aerial ballet performer, slim young La- lage. Some say she's French; others, Swiss; again, they say she's up from South America.
 ANOTHER LILLIAN LETTZEL
 But every time Mile Lelage takes hold of the web rope, hang ing from the center top, practically everybody who can remember the all-time wonder of aerial acrobatics whispers, Gee = another Lillian Leitzel?"
 The production numbers include only a couple of wartime notes: In Let Freedom Ring" all the United Nations peoples come out in hol- iday dress, and in "TIie Changing of the Guard" the elephants march in scarlet coats and military hats.
 As its direct contribution to the war, the. circus has set aside an "honor section" of seats for every performance. Tickets for that sec- ton are coupons given the GUS toners who buy war bonds. Every seat was turned over to Uncle Sam on opening night here in Madison Square Garden, and the place was self-otit.
