Wilson Approves College Chief Magistrate Says They Contribute to National Defense in Preparing Young Men Physically—Major Baseball Re- sults—American Association Owners Favor Cancellation of Series With International League. Washington, May 22.—Wholesale abandonment of college and school athietic sports during_the war is not advisable, President Wilson believes, not because of their value to divert the American people, but because they contribute to national defense. In a letter to Lawrence Perry, of the New York Bvening Post, made public to- day, the president said: *“I entirely agree with the conclusion contained in your letter of May 15th. I would be sincerely sorry to see the men and boys in our colleges and schools give most_sincerely that the normal course of college sports will be continued as far as possible not to afford a diver- sion to the American people In the days to come when we shall no doubt have our share of mental depression, 91 Main 8t [hut as a real contribution to the na- tional defense, for our young men must be made physically fit in order that later they may take the place of those who are now of military age and exhibit the vigor and alertness which we are proud to have a the Character- tio of our young men.” ARMY TO INVADE CONNECTICUT Memorial Day Selected as the Dats of Invasion When Marathon Race Will Take Place. It has been discovered that an in vasion has been planned in Connecti- cut with Norwich as the center of op- erations. It was further learned that the morning of Memorial Day, May 30, was the time selected when the mara- thon race takes place in competition ‘Active prepara- tions are being made to give the in- vading force a proper reception. All the detalls are not known, but enough has been learned to put the authorities thoroughly upon their guard. It seems that last year a similar at- tempt was made, but was properly cared for and no damage resulted: this year the officials were on the alert for the first symptoms. For some time past mysterious fig- ures have been seen on the roads in the vicinity, clad in unfamiliar uni- forms. Upon investigation they have been found to be the advance suard of the annual Memorial Day marathon race, who have been training over the roads of the vicinity. Considerable in- terest is being evidenced, as reports have been received that several indi- viduals in New London, Willimantic, and other nearby citles have been tralving In the different sections. ‘While several applications have al- ready been received, all those who are intending to run should hand _their names to Physical Director Crosby at the Norwich Y.

May 22—Indecision mark- ed the early course of today's active and broader market, but this condition was almost wholly rectified in the fi- nal hour, when U. S. Steel led the general list to new maximums for the current movement. Trading covered wider scope, taking info a greater ex- tent than recently the rails, metals, oils and_specialties. Wall Steeet professed to see favor- able portents in the decision of the United States supreme court which postponed reargument of pending “trust” suits for a year. The growing popularity of the liberty loan was an- other encouraging influence. There ere intimations, also, of an early an- nouncement of the Interstate Com- merce Commission rezarding the plea of the railroads for increased rates. 1. S. Steel's steady advance of 1 3-4 points to the new mark of 127 3-8 put that stock within 2 3-8 points of its record. Absorption of Steel was most_impressive and infused fresh vitality into the market after an inter- mediate perfod of Iassitude. Other_equipments and the munitions lagged by comparison, the only note- worthy features of that division being Midvale Steel, which Tose 2 1-8 to 62 3-4 and Bethlehem Steel new stock, which fafled to hold more than a part of its nominal advances. All the coppers and allied shares were higher by one to two points on very large accumulation. Gains in this group ran from one to two points, Ttah, Inspiration and American Smelting being most in favor. The inquiry for olls took invirtuall every issue of that description. Tex- as Company registered a gross gain of 2 3-4 points, while Maxican Petroleum, Sinclair Ofl ard California_Petroleum preferred advanced one to almost two points. Motors made further recov- eries from Jast week's setback and high priced specialties and utili- ties were again featured by Industrial Alcohol and Ohio Gas, those issues rising one to two points at their best. All classes of rails were Included in the one to two point advances. Total sales amounted to 1,025.000 shares. Bonds were irregular and lacking in essential features. Total sales, par value, aggregated $2,53,000. T. §.bonds were unchanged on call, but the coupon 3's fell 1-2 per cent on sales. STOCKS.

BASEBALL HAS PROVED POPULAR IN WAR Nations in Encounter Have Learned to Respect Sports Mor They land. it with are playing baseball in Eng- What is more, they are playing a zest and enthusiasm such as the gzame never known before. {What the people of America long thought impossible is now an acgom- plished fact. The great American me has spanned the Atlantic and taken firm root in British soil. The war has taught England, among other things, a wholesome respect and a growing fondness for the sports of other nations. Baseball is a great game. In the opinion of those who know it, no other sport can rival it But a sport has to be understood be- fore it can be appreciated. No mat- ter how great it may be people must know it, have seen it played it and understand something of Its rules be- fore they can appreciate it. That has been the great trouble in England. The people did not understand baseball. They had no opportunity to under- stand it. Spectacular tours, like that of the Giants and White Sox are all very well as hippodrome features, but they are nothing more. A large, 50od natured crowd turned out to see the well advertised event. Most of the crowd didn't know a two bagger from a base on balls. And naturally they didn’t appreciate the game. The: wanted to see what sort of sports ap- pealed to Americans just as Americans would turn out to see a_ Spanish bull fight from curiosity and little else, says the June Baseball Magazine. The com of the war completely upset athletic sports but the general effect ha en to stimulate interest in baseball. This has been due pri- marlly to the presence of a great num- ber of Canadian and American sol- diers who were either convalescing from wounds received at the front or were belng whipped Into shape at the enormous camps established for that purpose. The leading people in Fng- land have been quick to apreciate the need of a wholesome entertainment for these men. And as baseball seemed Eastern League, Springfield at New Haren.

Practically all these men have been devoted followers of baseball and many of them amateur players of no small ability. Baseball in America People have played the gzame they were young. They have read about the game for many years. They have absorbed the game. They feel it live it. But without that fifty years of preparation baseball even in Amer- fca_would not be the game it is. Efforts have been made by the mili- tary authorities to increase the zen- eral scope of baseball this summer and I look for a bigger season than cver before. Most people who are unfamiliar with the situation in England look upon cricket as the great English sport. But cricket is a game for the leisure class It requires several dayvs to play a cricket match, and while the game is @ good one for the participants it is rather- tedious from the spectators’ standpoint. The great mass of the Bnglish people have not the time, eve if they had the inclination, to attend a cricket match. Football, which is the popular sport and which attracts crowds of 150,000 or more, is immensely popular but it is played from September to April, dur- ing the winter months. The summe the ideal time, has no really popula srow when is a . sport to occupy the attention of the people. Baseball would fiil this gap 2nd in combination with football would glve England a continuous exhibition of professional sport all the ye round. There are now twenty baseball playing around London.
