All of the big universities in the middle west already had ‘made plans for carrying out the 1918 schedules and the request for the abandonment of the intercollegiate sport came as & distinct surprise. Practice was to have etarted in the “Big Ten" con- ference next Monday and simtlar plans for the practice season were under 'way in the Missouri valley conference. Extensive schedules had beer arrang- ed in every important _institution, many of the games being scheduled with_service teams. Officiale of the University of Chica- o said the war department request undoubtedly means that all spare the time of the students will be devoted to military instruction instead of athletics and that there would -be no time for the development of football The abandonment of the game will result in heavy financia] losses, as the proceeds of the sport usually met the LAST YEAR is burning while y ad this adves ment.

Boston, Sept. 12.—Suspension of col- legiate football as a war measure, as requested today by the war depart- ment, will not upset any plans made by eastern universites and colleges.

Polis of Hartford beat the Groton Iron Works team“$ to 1 in Hartford Sunday afternoon in a game which had to be called after five and a half in- nings on account of rain. Manager Barnett of the Academy football team has not yet arranged his schedula for this fall, Jiggs Donohue, the old time Chicago American first-baseman rated by most authorities as the best intial sack man the game has ever seen, died several years ago in'an '}.hu.ne asylum. Lieut. Ed. McKay, now of Ca.mp Custer, is spending a few days here. He is looking fie and apparently en- joying the army life. If, as it has been announced, the majority of college men are to be in active service by next June, prospects for any baseball at all next year are exceedingly slim. Carl Parker, captain of the N. F. A. 1918 baseball team, who resigned last fall, has enlisted in the navy as a musician. He also played football at the Academy. Miss Molla Bjurstedt the National Singles Woman champion has con- clusively proved her right to the title. She has won it for four successi years. Blank McCloskey of Chicago recent- ly stayed with Jack Johnson for four rounds at Madrid. Spain. He got the entire purse of $3,000, as Johnson had agreed to knock him out in four rounds or forfeit the money. Prospects for a championship foot- ball team at the Academy are exceed- ingly good this year. In Captain Jesse Wilcox the team has a man who is & wonderful ground gainer for, a high school player. Counihan, Tirrell, Sup- licki, Covello and R. Wilcox are also good men and may be expected to shine this year, Trapshocting has been adopted at twenty aviation schools in this coun- try as a means of making the fliers accustomed to shooting at moving ob- jects. One of the latest recruits secured by Platt Adams, who is seeking men to 50 over seas as athletic direciors was Edwin H. Crowdis who played guard at Princeton at the same time as Big Bill Edwards. At least one big figure in sport can play on and not be accused of elack- erism, although of military age—Miss Molla Bjurstedt. Pop” Anson wants a ruling which would do away with the gloves on all players except the catcher and first baseman. He says it would make the same faster. ‘Who is the oldest trapshooter in the country? “Uncle Joe” Heineman of Wasam, Wis. is 93 and is still shoot- ing at the Wausaw Fish and Game club. He can make a good score with the aid of eyeglasses. The fans that attended the recent Phil Bloom-Joe Welling battle that was staged in Weehawken a while ago had a narrow escape. Before any of the fans were let into the club they had to show their registration cards, and those who didn’'t show them were turned over to the police, who had ahout 20 police wagons stationed out- side the club. There wi probably be a reversion to straight oid-fashioned footbtll in the colleges this fall ws with the military work the teams will have big little time to learn any complicated plays or formations. In the official war report issued in Washington on Saturday was the an- nouncement that Lieut. Billy Moore, former athletic and gridiron star of Princeton, has been decorated with the distinguished service cross, Benny Kauff is reporteq to have pulled a good line when he reported to his draft board for military service. “Well, here I am,” piped Benja, “ready to swap the outfield for the | Enfield!” According te Harry R. Stringer of the War Department commission on Training Activities who has just re- turned from a trip to France, base- ball will be an international sport after the war. According to James McGuire, Editor of Outdoor Life the lordly moments doomed to follow the buffaiv and the antelope if the practice of killing the cows for meat is not stopped. Capt. A. H. Hardy in an article written for the American Shooter de- clares that it is as much the duty of every man registered in the draft to learn to shoot before entering the army as it is the duty of the football team to practice before a game. State Game Commissioners and sportsmen everywhere report that more game birds were killed during the last open season than ever be- fore. They attribute this the aboli- tion of spring shooting under the migratory game law. Gun clubs all over the country are now setting aside one day each year) as “Old Timers Day.” It is as good as a G. A. R. reunion to hear the old fellows talk of the days when the tar- gets were live bird: Johnny Martin did so well against Walter Butler in Boston that he has been signed to box Dave Powers. Mar- tin, so_we understand, is. courting a sound lacing. Nineteen hundred and two persons ~1605 men and 297 women received instruction in trapshooting at the At- lantic City Million Dollar Pier this summer up to Aug. 1 who had never before handled a gun. The Cincinnati - Reds players have subscribed for $45000 of Liberty bonds. Hoboken, N. ], claims to be the first home of Laseball, the game being played theie in 1833, You can’t prove it by us. The boxing promoters are hopeful of being able before iong to stage 10- round bouts in Seattle, where the lm- it of the ring contests is now fixed at four rounds. The new home just opened by the | Milwaukee Athletic club is declared to be one of the finest and best equipped clubhouses of its kind in the entire country. Lovers of this sport say that trap- shooting will be the greatest sport in the world after the war for they claim that he men who have used a gun in the army will want to keep in touch after they get back. Tennis appears to be holding its own better than the majority of sports in these days of war. The Wisconsin Boxing commis- sion is on the warpath again. This time the board didm’t pick on the boxers, but turned its attention to the promoters. The comish warned the promoters of Wisconsin not to be too liberal with the complimen- tary tickets. and that they give away only five press tickets, Every man in America should keep up his trapshooting for who knows but what before long he may get his chance at shooting at hand grenades in France which is some bully little sporting proposition and should ap- peal to all lovers of true sport. The Red Cross trapshooting tourna- ment soon to be held at Camp Fun- ston promises to be one of the banner events of the season. J. Harvey Finch of Greenwich, is the' leading trap shooter in the state according to the latest averages is- sued by the Inter-state trapshooting association. He has broken 1699 out of 1825 targets for an average of 9309. The other state shooters in the iist_with ‘their averages are: Ierbert C. Barstow, Rockville, .8244; W.

The Wilmington Delaware Trap- shooting Association placed its club at the disposal of their local police force for one afternoon each week for several months and the guardians of the peace were instructed in the yse of the riot gun. The gun used was the Winchester Pump, 1897 mod- el, with 20-inch cylmder bore barrel, Doings in The Auto World WHEN THE POLICE GET YOU. 1. Don't try to make the traffic of- ficer out a liar. This is without a doubt, the most serious offence you can commit when being tried for a traffic violation. 2. Don't say your gpeedometer was out of order. 3. Don't say_your-car can't go as fast as the officer testifies, ' because you will be in wrong right from the start. 4. Don't tell the judge you were speeding to the assistance of a sick friend, unless you are a doctor, and if so, be sure to bring your patient into court to corroborate your state- ‘ment. 5. Don't say you were hurrying to catch @ boat or train; these two are 80 old they have long whiskers. 6. Don't say your muffler was mak- ing a loud noise and the officer thought you were going fast. 7. Don't say you didn't know that you had to keep your cutout closed during the day. It must be closed all the time. 8. Don't, if the judge asks you what have you to say to this charge of speeding, answer “Nothing,” or “I haven't anything to sa: 9. Last, but not least, if you have never been arrested before be sure to tell the judge that this is your first oftence and the first time you have ever been arrested for violating the traffic law. William C. Poernter, president- eleet of the Motor club of New York, is of the opinion that an educational campaign to teach people to cross the streets at street crossings only would be a highly beneficial act and tend to decrease the number of au- tomobile accidents. “Any one who drives a car can- not help but notice how often pede: trians leave the sidewalk in the mid- die of the block, attempting to ecrgss the street at an angle, and in nine cages out of tem failing to look to see whether or mot automobiles are approaching,” says Mr. Poertner. “Frequently this means that the driver is forced to steer in an arc to get around the person or else pull his brakes suddenly, in a manner which endangers other automobiles that may be following closely. “If ‘there were an ordinance in force requiring pedestrians to cross only at regular street intersections they would learn to adhere to the rule, and the fact that chauffeurs as a rule slow down at a street cross- ing or are prepared to slow down would greatly lessen the number of accidents. Each season many chil- dren are injured not because of the motors but because of the is fauits of the children dodging behind cars in middle of the block. Of course it more difficult to teach this to ch dren than to adults, but much ef- fective work could be done in this way by school teachers. “The street car companies have accomplished considerable in their campaign, teaching women not to step off car platforms backward and police regulations about automobiles coming to a standstill when pedes- trians are getting on or off the street car, as well as the eight-foot rule, resulted most satisfactorily, and nowadays there are far fewer accidents resulting from a combina- tion of street car and automobile. “In Paris. 1 understand, there an ordinance that pedestrians must not cross the street in .the middle of the hiock. and when an accident occurs the pedestrian is liable to arrest for disobedience of this ordi- " LEBANON Gardiner of New London ng her daughter, Mrs. is Mrs. visit! ter.

Pen 70 White Leghorns en- tered by Tom Barron, Catforth, Eng- land, were first with 34 eggs. The “Oregons” were a close second w4 53 eggs to their credit. Two pens of Leghorns, namely: pen 69 owned by Will Barron, Bartle, England and pen 73 owned by A, P. Robinson, Calverton . Y., were third with 51 esgs. A pen of Barred Rocks entered by Ingleside Farm, Palenville, N. Y, and a Den of Rhode Island Reds entered by Charles C. Polhemus, Newburgh, N, Y., were tied for fourth place, having laid eggs each. TLast year White Leghorns were the first breed to reach a pen production of 2,000 egzs. This year the “Ore- "onfl” have the honor and are a week | ahead in doing it. To date the “Ore- 50 gons” have laid 2041 egss, while the leading pen last year had laid 1982 dvring the first fortv-five weeks.
