COLLEGES TO RETAIN SPORTS Except Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Virginia, All Expect to Have Foot- Ball Teams. Washtington, D. C., Aug. 3.—Re- tention of college athletics during the war was decided on by the national collegiate association at a conference at Washington yesterday after Secre- tary Baker had declared in an address to the delegates that competitive sports should “be continued to equip young men for the reception of mili- tary training.” Nearly all the eastern colleges and many from the middle west and the coast were represented, and it was said afterward the decision meant that with the exception of Yale, Har- vard, Princeton and possibly Vir- ginia, all the larger Institutions will play intercollegiate football this fall. Abandonment of the sport by insti- tutions named was described to the lack of material, most members of last year’s squads now being in some branch of the military service. Both Princeton and Harvard have indicat- ed that they will be represented in freshman football this fall. The conference adopted the follow- ing resolution: ‘““Whereas, College athletics, as stated by Secretary Baker in his ad- dress to the conference, are of great use in developing the qualities of a good soldier; ‘““Resolved, that we recommend to the colleges that the program of athletic sports for the coming year be continued with increased efforts to develop athletics for all students rather than for a chosen few, and that the schedule of intercollegiate sports be carried out as far ag local conditions allow, care being taken not to interfere with the military training of the students or to con- flict with the military interests of tha nation. “That we recommend that there be no pre-season coaching during the coming academic year; “That training tables be given up; “That professional coaching and other expenses incidental thereto be reduced to a mimimum; that the number of ofiicials at Intercolleglate games and their fees be kept as low as possible; “That the association reiterates its belief in the eligibllity rules which it has already endorsed, including the freshman rule, and recommends that there be no lowering of eligibility standards because of existing condi~ tions.” CROZIER WINS WITH BRINWORTH Weymouth, Mass., Aug. 3.—Straight heat wins were the rule in yesterday's racing on the Bay State Short Ship circuit, except in the 2:12 trot.

Aug. 3.—President Wil- son’s opinion expressed through his secretary, J. P. Tumulty, “that there is no necessity at all for stopping or curtailing baseball schedules,” was read with enthusiasm by heads of major league teams here today. “That's the best news I have re- celved for a long time,” said Charles Comiskey, owner of the White Sox. “I think we baseball men are as pa- triotic as ony other class of citizens. ‘We stand behind the president all the time. If he should ask us to close our gates as a matter of patriotism, the gates would be closed without a murmer. But I believe we can do our country a genuine service by keeping Its people interested in healthy outdoor sport, and recreation during our period of stress. “President Wilson’s opinion is a tribute to baseball an immense help to us all.” President Weeghman said: “The president’s announcement is a great thing for baseball and I for one club owner, am greatful. In the long run the country will be better off for not discontinulng the sport, although I belleve every man connected with the game should do his bit one way or another. of the Cubs NO O'DOWD-LEWIS BOUT.

Boston, Mass., Aug. 3.—Sherwood R. Magee, the Boston National league club outflelder, has been claimed by the Cincinnati club and was yesterday released by the Boston club. (GOTHAM HAVEN FOR THE LIGHT FINGERED Only 10 Per Cent. of Crooks Arrested Out of 3,600 New York, Aug. 3.—A sweeping in- vestigation of the police department, in which the failure in the Ruth Cru- ger case is expected to play only a minor part, is being planned by Spe- clal Deputy District Attorney James W. Osborne, when the grand jury or- dered by Governor Whitman for a special term of the supreme court under Justice Goff is impanelled Aug. 27. This, it 1s expected, will include an inquiry into the failure of the police to catch the men responsible for a large number of robberies in the city during seven months. The number of such robberies was given yesterday by Judge McIntyre of general ses- sions, in discharging the grand jury, as 8,600, in less than 10 per cent. of which, the judge said, the thieves had. been arrested. Mr. Osborne had within the last week told Governor Whitman the ex- traordinary grand jury was needed, and the governor outlined the work that he would approve. Before the new term private detectives will work under the direction of Mr. Osborne. A large agency has been engaged, and a score or more operatives will delve into the activities of the po- lice. Mr. Osborne refused yesterday to divulge any information which led him to ask for the special grand Jury. The additional grand jury before which the testimony relating to the Cruger case has been presented will conclude its labors today. Two in- dictments are predicted and a pre- sentment criticising methods in the detective bureau. Detective Files Demurrer. C. J. Sullivan, counsel for Detective John Lagarenne, indicted a week ago for alleged neglect of duty in failing to discover the bady of Ruth Criger, yes- terday asked Judge MclIntyre to sus- tain a demurrer to the indictment, on the ground that the regulation which Lagarenne is accused of having vio- lated is a rule of the police depart- ment and not a law. Assistant District Attorney Talley told the court a rule of the depart- ment had all the force and effect of law, and ignoring such a rule was within the criminal statute. Mr. Sul- livan replied that the statute under which the indictment was found ap plied anly to precinct commande who fail te enforce laws relating to disorderly houses. Judge Mclntyre reserved decision. He added: “T am glad you were working along the lines that have brought so much complaint from the merchants of the city. The police department record: show that since the 1st there have been 3,600 committed, less than 10 per cent. of which have been cleared up or the thieves apprehended. This is a con- dition that does not merit commenda- tion.” How far the special grand jury will go will depend on the work of the private detectives. Reports have reached the district attorney that in one instance a policeman made a proposition to a burglar whom he had just arrested that for $1,000 he would be permitted to go free. The burglar is said to have said he took the police- man to a bank to show he did not have the amount demanded and the arrest was then made. The prosecutor has also obtained records of alleged recelvers of stolen goods against whom sufficlent evidence was not produced. TWO KILLED WHEN PLANE GOES WRONG One Victim Son of Muiti-Millon- aire Julius L. Fleischmann New York, Aug. 3.—Charles Fleischman, son of Julius L. Fleisch- mann, multi-millionaire yeast manu- facturer of Cincinnati, Ohio, was kill- ed at 5:30 o'clock yesterday after- noon when a hydro-airplane owned and driven by Harry Witts of Bay Shore, L. I. fell into the waters of Great South Bay, between Bay Shore and Saltaire, Fire Island. Witts was also killed. Mr. Fleischman’s engagement to Miss Florence McGregor Sheldon of Brooklyn was announced only last Sunday. . Earller yesterday Capt. Ralph L. Taylor of the Officers Reserve, chief instructor of the Government Avia- tion Training 8chool at Mineola, who was married June 2, was crushed to death when a training biplane, clas- sified as ‘“No. 172, fell 800 feet in Hempstead, striking in the garden of Martin V. Hall Taylor's wife was attending her brother’s wedding when informed of the tragedy. Thomags E. Pell of Lykens, Pa., who was with Taylor, was taken to the Nassau Hospital with internal in- jurles and many cuts, He will prob- ably recover. Mr. Fleischmann, who was twenty- four years old, had left New London, Conn.,, Monday, where he and his fiancee had been visiting Julius L. Fleischmann, end had gone to the training station at Bay Shore. Tutored by Witt. Mr. Fleischmann had not been ad- mitted to the school regularly, army officers said last night, but hoped to be. In order to gain information he had engaged Witts to take him up at intervals in a new machine Witts had built last winter.
