This was indicated by Garry Herr
mann, chairman of the commission.
"Some action must be taken to
cut down the expense of operating
major league clubs," said Herrmann.
"I do not think it is up to either
league to start retrenching. The
action must be taken in union.
Commission First
"For that reason I believe the first
step should be taken by the commis
sion. 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. Why not
put these fellows back in the minors,
where they can improve themselves
by playing regularly, and at the
same time increase the standing of
baseball in those leagues."

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.

In order to appreciate the record
of consistency of the I. C. A. A. A. A.,
it is necessary to go back to July 21,

Cubs. His biggest achievement was
a run of ten straight victories prior
to engaging the Phillies in the pres

of the "baby" manager of the Na

Alexander, who held the Cubs to
four hits as he jolted them for a
3 to 1 decision.

London, Klay 22.—The British for

that henceforth all persons traveling
to the United States must have their

is one of the changes in passports

entry of the United States into the

meet of the assiociatlon was held at
Saratoga, N. 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

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.

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

of "The Bottle Imp" has to do with
the adventures of a poor fisherman,
who seeks a girl of royal blood for his
wife. The star has for his leading
woman in this production a Hawaiian
girl, who in reality is of royal blood,
being a direct deseendent of Queen
Liliuokalani. The setting of the story
is picturesque Hawaii, and the

Hawaii for the production.
