BIG WEEK FOR SCHOLASTIC BASKETBALL LEAGUE TEAMS-MAJORS IN SESSION
DISCLOSURES TO
COME THIS WEEB
Garry Herrmann Is Ready tc
Turn Fraternity Upside
Down;
New York, Feb. 12. The openlii!
skirmish of the 1917 baseball seusoi
will be witnessed in New York am
environs this week, for the scheduh
meetings of the major and big mlno
leagues are usually looked upon a
the .first otlleial move in that direc
tion.
* The schedule meetings of the Xa
tional and American Leagues thii
spring !j*ar an unusual significance
because of the threatened strike 01
the part of the players and proximity
of the general mobiliz ition in tlii
Southern training camps. There is
moreover, the possibility of this coun
try's participation in war with a Kn
ropeail Power. Each and all of th<
many new contingencies may or maj
not have some direct bearing on tin
future policies ot the conduct of thi.
great summer sport. '
If the wor* ui August Herrmann
chairman of the National Commission
is to be relied upon. Certain Strang,
and startling disclosures on tLo sidt
may be expected. Herrmann declaie.
that the iraternity propaganda o
David L. Fultz and his lieutenants ha:
failed. He says tl.e meetings here wit
prove it and that when the case i
proven he will disclose documentary
evidence to show that the whole prcf
posed strike was trumped up with th<
view of maintaining x\,r uie salaries
Players I'mlcr Contract
"I have been m.communication witl
Messrs. J. K. Teller and 11. H. John
son. my fellow commissioners," de
Glared .Mr. Herrmann to-day, "anil
know that enough players are nov
under contract to both major league
to make a hi: e joke of any attemptec
strike. Tl.e strike, therefore, is dead
but that does not mean that it will b<
* allowed to rest in peace."
Herrmann is ot the opinion that th<
major leagues will show the stromal
of their hands not only in clifvibh
players, but in policy as wen, on thi:
occasion. The schedule meetings wil
fall just one week before the Cubs
* departure lor Pasadena, Cal. A Urn
stand on policy, therefore, would tun
to the advantage of those club owner:
Who have planned for an early start
Alllo* the:' > are those in control o
the Giants and Yankees. The ti^.- :
squads of these tenuis will hi d soutV
a week from Saturday.
Aside from the n<ar trouble witl
players the two major leagues hav<
an unusual lot of business to keei
their minds occupied for several days

sj This xx'eek xvill be tho first time this

"! Most important on the list is the

the Tech team on the Armory lloor,!

[ j good game should result. 11" wi 11 be
I an opportunity for the Maroon to got;
" j out of the cellar position. Lebanon j
xvill lutve its hands full because of the'

~ improvement in their work xvitli each !
( . .line, and their team play reached a!
climax Friday night xvlien they com-
I, pe\b d the Central 'team to go an cx- <

As the situation stands, every one of

Barney Dreyfuss, of the Pittsburgh i
Pirates, is going to the schedule meet
, I ing of the National League next week j
"'with a brand nexv suggestion to in-j
1 crease batting, xvhich is. in a way.
along the line of his well-kn<nvn poi
! icy of holding a team membership
l ' liown to the lowest ebb. Said he, to
'• i day:
"They want; increased batting, and
- I am going to suggest to the league
• ('.irectors that we make a stringent
: rule forbidding any club from carrv
r Ing more than five pitchers. That will
stop a manager from sticking in sev
eral pitchers in one game where op
- i posing batsmen have their batting
si . yes peeled. A team leader isn't go
'. i ing to' use up his best pitchers every
- day, and therefore xvill be obliged to
r keep his txvlrler In even xvhen he is
getting a lacing. That xvill increase
! batting xvithout a very radical change
S in the rules; in.fact, no change at ail
e ! in the playing rul<s"
A CHIXI'SK MARY GOODK
- (Gardner L. Harding, in World Out
o| look For. February.)
A typical instance of the far-reach
! Ing appeal of th" Door of Hope is
s the story of the Chinese oplum-smok
). ing mistress of an evil resort who
e was convicted of cruelty by tho insti
oltutirin's efforts, was fined S6OO, and
s; exiled from the International Settle
ment at the end of her prison term.
I This vice-scarred xvoman went to the
| Poor of Hope, in spito of tho fact that
s i it brad ruined her material livelihood.
n | and in sincere repentance professed
,1 i Christianity. When she died sho left
t. her money for a badly needed sani
njtarium, in xvhicli the vic tims of the
e I many pitiable diseases of that mercl-
I less life find through the Door of

j The Door of Hope illustrates, as do

(the brooadentng trend of the cx-an
rtilizing after the example of
i the religious world at home, toward

URGE PHYSICAL
TRAINING PLAN
Leading Educators to Press
Foe Adoption of Bill by State
Legislature
Washington, Feb. 12. According lo
its slogan President" Wilson's recent
statement that "physical training Is
needed but can be had without com
pulsory military servlc'e," a commit
tee of leading educators has been
formed to press for the adoption, in
tho various Stifles, of a "model" State
bill, drafted by Dr. Dudley A. Sar
gent, of Harvard, providing for the
introduction of physical training,
xvithout military features, in the pub
lic schools. The new committee,
which bears the title of "The Com- i
mittee lor Promoting Physical Edu-;
cation in the Public Schools of the'
United States," has opened headquar
teers-ln the Munsey bunding in this 1
city, with Mrs. Harriet P. Thomas as
secretary in charge. *
The committee consists of Dr. John'
Dewey, of Columbia University; J. Y.
Joyner, State Superintendent of Pub-,
lie Instruction, North Carolina; Mrs. 1
Ella Flagg Young, former Superin- 1
tendent of Schools in Chicago; Presl- I
dent DaVid B. Johnson, of tho Win
tlirop Normal and Educational Col
lege, of Rock Hill, South Carolina; !
Carroll G. Pears e, of Milwaukee, pres- ;
ident of the Milwaukee ,'tate .Normal
School: Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, of:
Denver. State Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction of Colorado; Frank G.
Blair, State Superintendent of Public
Instruction in Illinois; Mrs. Josephine
.Preston, State Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction 4n the State of Wash
ington, and Dr. Sargent, the physical
education expert of Harvard.
In its announcement the committee j
say!*, in part:
"We believe that the time has come
xvhen the public schools can, and
should, enter deliberately and pur
posefully upon a definite plan for the ,
preparation of our youth physically
lor the exigencies of life ami for all
the demands of citizenship. We need
to spend more money and more time
upon physical training intended to de
velop the body so tfeat both boys and
girls niay be prepared equally for the
pursuits of peace or tho vicissitudes of
war."
The bill is officially entitled "a bill
to upbuild national vitality through!
the establishment of physical educa
tion and training in the public schools'
of the Stale." It is described as a
tentative draft xvhich may l e easily
modified to meet tlie xarylng financial
and educational conditions In the dit"-"
feernt States. Its .proponents are
careful to assert that they are not pro
posing to impose an "labor:Ue and
i xpensive machinery" upon any
State merely to indicate the way to
bcsrln in tho; belief that public opinion
has. now her n educated to the point'
where it will supnort physical trail
ing in the schools, especially xxhen
that training is shorn of military fea
tures.
The bill, with suitable modifica
tion". has been Introduced this week i
in the Massachusetts General Apsein- '
Ily (by special consent) and in the
L gislatu'r< s of California and Indi
ana. Its introduction in other States
Is expected to follow shortly.

Xoxx is the time to prepare for yonr
garden.
Many varieties of seeds are x-ery
scarce. Fortunately xve have a
good supply and prices arc about
the same as last year. I advise or
dering your seeds soon.
Every Gardener and' Farmer
should make every acre of soil pro
duce the greatest possible quantity
of food crops.
Never has there been such a de
mand tor vegetable crops—and in
dications point to high prices this
I year.
Every Family xvith yard enough
for a lionic garden should use it.
That will mean real economy—
and would cut down your lixing
costs greatly. We have the tools,
the manure to fertilize and the
soeds to plant.
