H } MARKET WAS HEAVY \’ Barely New York, April 9.—Attention was vided today between the progress of the ‘Liberty loan campaign and the course of events along the Franco- Beigian front. To the renewal of Teutontc diver- sions in the lafter quarter was attrib- uted the heaviess of prices.and grad- ual reduction of dealings, ‘total sales barely apprmfinmng 175,000 shares.

Washington & Jefferson Coach Tells ‘of Effect of Daylight Saving on _ Athletics in the Army—Big Three Vindicate His Views on Intercolle- giate: Sport. Gaining an Hour each day is bound to have far-reaching results in ath- letics the: country over, especially in army athletics where the question of time has been a difficult one. Indeed, Guring the short winter days sport for the army has been a difficult ac- complishment because of the limited, facilities for indoor play. And with] summer coming the problem did loom large until the new scheme of time was put into effect. Here was about the way the sport situation was in the camps in Amer- ica in regard to summer. Owing to a rigorous and necessary military sched~ ule which abated only on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons of the week days, it lookeq difficult to even figure out a scheme which would give every ball team a chance to play at least once ‘a week. Diamonds might be built on all the available space but there was mot enough leisure _time available to permit all the teams to get in their games. Afternoons, other than the two mentioned, offered little opportunity for play. But the new daylight law has done away with all that. Games may now be scheduled practically évery day of the weekand baseball will, as a result, come into its own in the cam Army baseball is the biggest hase- ball proposition America has ever seen. Pretty nearly every smail camp in the United States can boast of more teams than -we have in both major leagues, But when you get to the big cantonments then you find figures that are amagzing. Teams run into the hundreds and most of them are ip leagues of some kind or other. The number of games played, the number of balls and bats to be used | ang the cost of all the needed equip- ‘ment is staggering even when one makes a guess at the whole. Indeed, no one can do other than guess at it. 1t's impossible to do otherwise. But baseball, as big as is its scale in the camps and cantonments, is but a small factor in the general of physfcal fitness and sport in the army. Take a camp of thirty thous- and men, all of whom are urged and encourazed in every way to get into sport. If anyope can fizure out a plan whereby everv one of thosp men can play in baseball games two or thres times a weelk he is canable of leading s to_Berlin. Nothing else to ! Fact is the thinz cannot be done and in order to zet all the men into sports and athletics. the armv wishes, plans have, to be made and carried out for games of a kind that i eround area thanl basebail and which get the great mass of soidiers into them. These sames must also be of the sort that require no cauipment. Thus they solve a big problem in that they may be played at any time and by most any number. They are mora or less of spontaneol natur patterned after those we p boys; games that fulfill the inherent desire for recreation: and zames that re therefore a big factor in keeping everyone happy. Schools. recogni and promoted by the mi autho ties, are often the means of getting these games made a part of the sol- dier's knowledge and that they serve i nkeeping men both fit and happy in no small degree a rea ¥ have become so popular throuzhout the army. Strange as it may_seem there is a certain percentage of men in the draft army who never before piayed at all. The; mes are a big r in the lives of thesa men. They | erve to quicken ang speed up the army types of this sorl. There has been no more and popular game in t swat tag. Last fall I saw it hefore a foot d and universal rmy than regiment crowd o the fun o ot enjoyment out of this impromptu game than | | | | i | informat ar out of th Mass athietics is the term which tsed to cover ail this recreation wor in the army, the kind of work that organizations such as the Y. M. C have been promoting for many throughout -the country in a biz way and without any bluster of- advertls- | ing. “Poday the Y. M. C. A. has found a big fleld for this sort of work and it is: meeting it—as it always has— without seekinz glory in the act. It is a service it is rendering the men of the army, quietly ang with efficiency, as it is doing each part of its big task. — | Recent statements from New Ha- ven and Cambridge lead one to be- lieve that the contemplated reforms which were to come in intercollegiate athletics at these two institutions 3 a result of this war are all but go it not forgotten, just as this column Fas so_often predicted would be the case. Here is a sample of the views now in vosue taken from a recent sue of the “Harvard Alumni Bu tin”: “Intercollegiate contests are now to bé resumed, hefore the worl peace again. The coaching at least for spring athletics, materfally modified, and it rem to be seen whether the proposed strictions' will bring about " ail simplification in a scheme of things which has been so much desired. We heartily hope it will; but unless considerable vigilance is exercised we suspect it will not and that before one knows it we shall that over-elaborate have drifted back into all the old; ways. Should any of such a tendency appear in the months to come, ft fs much to he hoped that some entirely new em of intercol- legiate contests may be devised fore any peace-time football season | comes und. The plan of combined | intramural ang intercollegiate games suggested already in the Bulletin might then be considered.” So goes the world at Yale and Prince- ton so far as sport is concerned, and so it will continue to go. One thing sport, college, civil or army, needs a stimulus and coilege sport 'will not thrive without intercollegiate competi- tion any more. than will other sports without what some choose to call the hippodroming feature. And from what other source will the money come which we must have for con- ducting sport? Even in the army box- ing, almost a necessity for the Infan- try, gets its stimulus from numerous bouts among the men from varlous organizations and from the fact that the instructors .are usually pugilists or former pugilists whose names and reputations help to push it alos “Bill" Clark, Princeto baseball coach of long went abroad in Y.
