Mr. Johnson stated his belief that a majority of the American League play- ers were eligible, under the proposed terms of the conscription laws and would be called upon to serve in the army. Mr. Johnson will leave for Wash- ington tonight to confer with govern- ment authorities rezarding the pro- posed tax to be imposed upon baseball Cclubs, and the question of the enlist- ment of players will also be discussed. “I am convinced,” Mr. Johnson said, ‘that the nation requires the coopera- tion of every young and able-bodied man at this time. A majority of ball players in our league are quite likely to be called to the colors and none of the American League magnates will in any manner stand in thelr way or of- fer obstacles toward a discharge of their duty. nless there should be unexpected and serious developments during the coming summer the American Leagus> plans to finish the present pennant race and complete the baseball season with the world’s series. If the coun- try is still involved in the war in the following_spring no attempts will be made to begin another season and the ball parks will remain closed until the return of peaceful times.” Statement by President Tener. President John K. Tener, of the Na- tional league, said that he had not discussed the proposition to _drop baseball at the close of the present season and that such action would de- pend upon the developments of the next few months. He stated it ac his opinion that the young men of the states would be called upon to serve with the army and navy and that the bail players of both the major and or leagues would naturaily be conscripted ow to_their excellent physical condition. “Every man connected with baseball —both player and magnate—wants to do his share,” sald President Tener, “and just as soon as we know what the government expects of us we will prepare for action.

Present College Sports. Situation Ex- plained by Metzge The sole examples we can find in this country to apply to the present situation in intercollegiate athletics i |is at the service academies, at West Point and Annapolis. While it is true that there has never been a similar situation it is also true that prepara- tion for war is the function of these two academies. Today, our universi- ties and colleges are being made over into somewhat similar schools, with the exception that physical fitness is not a requirement for admission and the scholastic curriculum differs ma terially. Army officers are in charge of the military training at these edu- cational institutions adn the purpose in the fighting force which is to be formed. Therefore ,our istitutions of learning have much ‘the same function for the present that has everbeen the purpose of the two service academies. There is the difference: War is now an actuality. At both West Point and Annapolis intercollegiate sport is and has always been encouraged and fostered. It is recognized as a splendid part of the course of preparation which has con- stantly been going on. But it has been conducted on different lines than at the majority of our colleges. There has always been this difference: Less time is permitted for practice than elsewhere. At that th results in ac- tual competition with the largest col- leges have in no way suffered. Many of the big ones have left the two grid- irons at West Point and Annapolis with the small end of the score. There is much system and much concentration in everything done at the two service schools. As has been said the function of them is to fit young men for commanding our armies and navies. Like unti them today is the function of the various colleges ad universities. If these institutions are to continue with itercollegiate athletics it is not stretching the imagi- nation to say that they will follow much the same plan that has been in vogue at West Point and Annapolis. Take football, for example. 1 spite of the cry that is continually raised agaonst the game on account of the time given to it has been found that an eleven can be brought to champion- ship form in five hours of practice a week. At West Point and Annapolis the teams have each approximately sixty hours of practice in all for their final clash around Thanksgiving time and the game suffers not in compari- played by any others whether they have practised sixty or one hundred nad sixty hours during the two and a half months of season. Thus, if we are to have competitive sport between colleges by fall, it is likely to be of such a nature for these two academies have found it possible % [to educate boys thoroughly, to fit and prepare them for war and to have them at the same time participate in intercollegiate athletics. Which is just about what we as a nation wish every college to do as long as this war lasts. The direct athletic problem is an- other matter. Most of the. athletes will be In this war when the army is at the front. That is as it should be. All history has proven the outdoor man make sthe best soldier. And the outdoor man is nothing if not an ath- letee. Thus we come to a situation which will be a good thing in the end for intercollegiate athletics as it will force us otdevelop boys from the raw to fill the places of the veterans. We are to learn much of future value in this respect. Athletics, physical fit- ness and preparation are to be boomed by this war. A football coach has said that very few coaches and very few players will turn out this fall in case of war as they will fear being called slackers. If the country is then represented by an army at the front it would be best for all voung fellows able to fight to be with this army. But preparation L0 130 Jats T TR TS Dl amm s oy o5 5 EE Y is first necessary before going to the front and college men will likely be so fitted at their respective institutions is to fit these young men to be officers | Hi 3 United States Tires are carried by the following Sales types of United States Tires exactly suits your needs: A Tice for Bovery Need of Price and Use— Nobby ‘Chain’ “Royal Cord® Used ‘Plain’ \ Make Us ,Respon‘sible For Your Tires You don’t have to “shop” among tire dealers to get the exact tire you want, —nor buy one make of tire for your rear wheels and another make for your front wheels ‘—but you can get exactly the tires which will give you the lowest-cost-per-mile of service among the five different types of United States Tires.
