I think we will take this step Wednesday. "Every major league ball club is carrying considerable dead timber, players who rarely get a chance to break, into the line-up.

FIRST BREAK IN SPORTS IN FORTY-ONE SEASONS; HARVARD LEADS IN HONORS New York, May 22.—N0 better il lustration of the effect of the war upon college athletics can be cited than is contained in the announce ment that the Intercollegiate track and field championships, even in the form of patriotic games, have been abandoned. Not since the initial meet in 1876 has there been a break in these national titular contests. Now after a period of forty-one years, the season of 1917 will be blank in the records and history of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America. No other form of college athletics or sports has ever had such a broad and continuous record in its gwn par ticular field of activity in this coun try. For this reason, if no other, the devotee of track and field com petition has been hoping against hope that the games would be con tinued, even though in a curtailed manner, for the present season at least. First Big Meet In order to appreciate the record of consistency of the I. C. A. A. A.

Fred Mitchell, so-called "Miracle Man" of the 1917 baseball season, on account of the wonderful results ho has obtained with the Chicago Cubs. His biggest achievement was a run of ten straight victories prior to engaging the Phillies in the pres ent series. Tho triumphant march of the "baby" manager of the Na tional League was halted by Grover Alexander, who held the Cubs to four hits as he jolted them for a 3 to 1 decision. MUST USE PASSPORTS London, Klay 22.—The British for eign office has notified the public that henceforth all persons traveling to the United States must have their passports vised by a United States diplomatic or consular o V4ce. This is one of the changes in passports regulations made necessary by the entry of the United States into the war.

Y., with Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Bowdoin, Dartmouth, Columbia, Williams and City College of New York among the competing institutions. Since that date forty one meets have been held without a break at various points in the PJast including New York, Yhiladelphia and Cambridge. During this period thirty-seven colleges or universities have been represented" by athletes who have won at least one place or point. The list includes almost every institution of the East, Michigan, of the Middle West, and California and Stanford of the Pacific Coast. While it is impossible to state with accuracy the number of athletes who have striven for tracjt and field honor in these meets it is estimated that the total would run into into many thousands. In championships l won Harvard leads with thirteen; Yale is second with nine; Pennsylva nia third with eight; Cornell, fourth with seven; Columbia fifth with three and Princeton last with one: the Tigers taking the first meet in 1876. American Association Is Not United on Series Cut Chicago, May 22. —Club owners of the American Association met infor mally here yesterday on President Hickey's move in canceling the In terleague series with the Interna tional League. Every club in the association save Louisville was rep resented. Indications before the conference were that President Hickey's acti ( on would be approved, as five of the eight club owners were reported to favor cancelation. Kogers Bresnahan, owner of the Toledo club, said he was undecided, and James McGill, president of tho Indinnapolis club, with O. H. Wathen, of Louisville, are said to be in favor of going through with the series. Joseph Tinker, president of the Columbus club, issued a statement approving of President Hickey's move. The Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Kansas City clubs also favor calling off the series. The International League at a i meeting in Buffalo yesterday placed the issue before the association for I decision. ENGLISH FARMS SINK Chester, England, May 22.—Farm- I ers in alarge area of Cheshire have i their work complicated by tho fact that the surface of their farms is steadily sinking at a rate reaching in many places several Inches year ly. This subsidence occurs in the dis trict. of the great salt mines. The suit deposits are about 400 feet below the surface, and there is everywhere at this depth a total thickness of at liast 200 feet of salt. Tho gradual removal of the salt is tho cause of the subsidence of the land. PLANING MILL WINS The hitting of Anderson was ' a feature yesterday In the victory of the Planing Mill nine over the Clerks team by a acore of 310 1. It was a Lucknow Shop League contest. An derson had two two-base hits, and scored ono run. Weaver, of the I Clerks, secured the only hit made by his team, and that was a triple. [ AMUSEMENTS j \ f?? Ji Akt j|L*"i ... SI OTIS SKINNEII a SUCCESS, THOUGH A MINISTER'S SON There is an old theory that to be horn a minister's son is a handicap. It may be true, but there are exceptions. Otis Skinner, one of the most success ful actors on the American stage (coming to the. Orpheum Theater for a single performance only, which will take place Friday evening. May 25, in his new play, "Mister Antonio, is one of them. He is the son of a minister from whom it is quite possible he in herited at least one of the gifts that has pushed him to the t°P C his pro fession—his rare gift of elocution. His father was a noted pugilist orator, and at Hartford, Conn., where he preached, they say a church couldn't be found that was big enough to accommodate the crowds that flocked to hear ht®i. Mr. Skinner was born at Cambridge, Mass., but he grew up at Hartford, and it was there he made his first pub lic appearance as a reader and elocu tionist. Later he made his debut as an actor at the Philadelphia Museum, playing an old darkey in a rural drama entitled "Woodleigh." Then he joined the .stock company at the Wal nut Street Theater, t'hilartelphia. He made his debut in New York in 187S> in Kiralfy's spectacle, "Enchantment," at Niblo's Garden. After that ho play ed successively at Booth's Theater, at the Boston Museum and in Law rence Barrett's company. He was a member of Augustin Daly's famous company for five years and he was leading man for Mme. Modjeska from 182 to 1893. Since then he has been a star. 1/e made his greatest success of his career a few years ago as Hadji, the Beggar, in "Kismet." In "Mister An tonio" he plays a philosophic organ grinder—an Italian beloved vagabond —and enacts a commonplace charac ter with romantic charm and personal The teller will tell you that people grow prosperous through the wise use of money.
