The fact that the government authorities had issued such notice did not become public until senators at Washington began to receive protests from educational institutions in their home states.

The action of the Washington authorities can be regarded in the light of a war measure, although the heads of the various institutions undoubtedly will look upon its" issuance as being more drastic than necessary.

However, the ruling will not go into effect without vigorous protest from the big institutions. Last season there was not much football because of the war. The games that were played were popularly known as "informal" football contests, because the big college elevens were not up to. the former standard and many of the prominent pigskin athletes had joined the colors.

It looks as though the government officials believe that the spare time of the students should be devoted to miliatry instruction instead of football tactics. Boston sends out word that suspension of collegiate football as a war measure will not interfere with the plans of eastern institutions.

The Washington ruling undoubtedly will upset any plans in the making. The University of Buffalo may be affected by the ruling, but it has announced plans for a season's football schedule and Coach Powell has issued a call for practice next week.

Bill Klem in particular, for Johnny Evers is studying: French. The little Trojan, who is now director of baseball for the Knights of Columbus, in France, has a dire purpose for his study of French. It came ou. when he met Hank Gowdy, the Boston Braves star, the other day. "Say, Hank, how do you cuss in French?" queried Evers.

"What do you, want to know that for?" asked Gowdy. "Well, I expect the war will be over by next season and I'll be back in the States playing ball again. When I get out on the lot I want to be able to tell Bill Klem I think of him, and I'm going to say it in French so he won't understand it. He can't put me off the field then," quoth Johnny. BOXING DOES GIVE BAYONET FIGHTERS Formal Denial of Statements in Published Articles to the Effect That Boxing Was Not Beneficial to Soldiers is Issued by Dr.

Roy-croft of Training Camp Activities Commission. Washington, Sept. 13. Published articles to the effect that boxing does not I give a useful training as a basis for bayonet fighting and that the two have no common relationship have been em; phatically denied in a formal statement that has been issued "by Dr. Joseph E.

Raycroft. head of the athletic division of -the war department on training camp activities, which directs the athletic ac-. tlvitles in the military camps throughout the country. The statement ''Several more less uninformed critics have published articles to the effect that boxing does not give useful training as a basis for bayonet fighting. Criticism Based on Ignorance.

'Such criticisms are based upon ignorance bayonet fighting and military boxing. The experience of the past year in the training camps shows that boxing has great value as a preparation for bayonet fighting, and in the develop-' merit of tlioBe physical and spiritual qualities that tre characteristic of the aggressive fighting man. "The great majority of our young men, who makes up the army, have had little or no experience in physical contact games that develop self-reliance, cour-ace, quick thinking, and quick decisions under fire. Bayonet training at its best is a in which sreed. endurance, and skill in handling the weapon are developed, but in the nature of things, there can be no practice contests with the bayonets.

Boxing supplies this important Contest factor and furnishes a means of training men to keep their heads and to carry out an effective plan of attack, even though they are being punished by their opponents. In this way qualities needed in the make-up of a bayonet flphter are developed by practice in boxing to an extent and with a rapidity that is impossible in any other plan of training thus far tried. "The commanding officers of the training camps in this country have almost universally testified to the value of boxing as a part of military training. In many of the principal camps it has been made a regular and definite part of the daily routine. The following statements from generals commanding training camps are typical: 'Boxing, undoubtedly, is one of the most useful forms of phrsical training which a soldier can have.

Kspecially is this true in the case of the bayonet men, whose physical prowess is an absolute essential, and whose greater spirit and punch than his opponent make him sure winner in the bayonet 'Men who. have taken courses in boxing, after one or more lessons, begin to show an aggreslveness which they did not previously have and which is absolutely necessary, not only in bayonet ex- erclaes, but in all personal Teaches Give and Take. "The primary object of boxing, as taught in the army, is to make skillful, self-reliant, hard-hitting men, rather than expert boxers. An efficient soldier must not only be trained in the technique of offense and defense, but he must be charged -ith the proper fighting spirit. Experience in boxing develops that spirit.

It develops in him a willingness and ability to fight at close quarters and to give and take punishment. Practice in boxing has an additional value because many of the blows and movements taught the men in boxing classes havi their close counterparts in bayonet fighting. For example, a left lead to the head is very similar to a long point to the throat; a right hook to the jaw. or the body is like the blows with the butt of a rifle. Of course, there are thrusts and parries in bayonet lighting that are different from any lead, block or counter in boxing, but the principle is the same and the sequence of action, the body balance, and the ability to take advantage "of openings tn the opponent's defense developed in boxing are fundamentally important for the bayonet fighter.

"In the nnal analysis all physical training in the army, must have a prac- tical military significance; boxing possesses this significance to -in unusual ex- 1 tent, so that particular stress has been laid upon the instruction of the soldiers rather than upon the development of a few experts. Instructors Most In my opinion, the boxing instructors are doing a very valuable piece of work, und it is due to their efforts that boxing in the camps Is now regarded by many military experts as second only to the I. o. mnt-trv drill, as a means of de veloping the power of concentration and the ability, to reach promptly and effec tively io new BASIS FOR TRAINING Kings BELMONT PARK.

FITZGERALD ell-Known umaai ana JocKey Club Starter Will Officiate at Derby Show Tomorrow. J. FitzGerald of the New York LJockey club will be one of the Judges of the Derby horse show next Saturday. One of the purposes of the Derby horse show is to stimulate interest throughout Western New York In the breeding of half-bred horses, preferably with thoroughbred sires, for th use of the government in cavalry and artillery service. There is quite a nonimiml lark nt stiff icJenfc horses of this type, and during the continuance of the war and some time thereafter the breeding of his type of horse will be of profit to farmers and horse raisers.

It is also the opinion of qualified' horsemen that the use of the saddle horse for pleasure is distinctly on the increase, and will be developed very materially after the war by the demands from returned soldiers for ai sport of this character.

5 the order ef the War Department thena WANTS WEIGHT MADE. The recent announcement of Al Rogers, manager of Dickie Dundee, that Dickie was ready to make his comeback ftunt and would meet any bantam up to 122 pounds, aroused the curiosity of A. C. Barone, manager of Mike Pearle, who weighs 112 pounds when stripped for action. So Barone approached Rogers at the shipyards where Al labors for the government, and spoke about a match between Pearle and Dundee.

It happens the shipbuilders are going to have a. War-Savings Stamp drive on Saturday evening around the Liberty pole, and a few open-air boxing bouts are carded. One match proposed was between Dundee and Pearle. According to Barone he asked Al about weight and conditions. Al ris reported to have charged that Barone didn know much about fighters and fighting.

Barone said he had heard Dundee was going to whip Pearle in lnstead of just staging an exhibition. One word led to another, and Barone says Al took a swing at him. Now Manager Barone comes forward with the statement that if Dundee can make 116 pounds, ringside, as his manager claims he can, Pearle will gladly box him in private or before any boxing club. This little grievance might mean a genuine battle when they do don the gloves in the roped arena. But Dundee must not weigh more than 116 pounds.

LE LAUGHS 1 BY JACK VEIOCK. International News Sports Editor. New York, Sept. 13. Please excuse Fred Merkle while he indulged in a hearty guffaw.

Fred feels a bit Joyful these days, and you can't blame him a bit for his mirthful attitude. It wasn't long ago that Merkle was a plain, every-day goat of the common- garaen variety. He was a target for all sorts of jibes from the stands, thanks to- a lapse of memory he suffered when the Giants and the Cubs met in the memorable series which decided the National, league pennant in 1908 the series in which Merkle forgot to touch second. But look at Merkle today. There he stands, wearing a Cub uniform the uniform of the ,1918 National 1 xnere ne stanas, witn a grin, won-deriner how John Mrfipaw.

anl his 'Giants feel about being pushed out of tne limeiignt by a team which he. Merkle, helped to win the pennant. Small wonder Merkle smiles. He has two reasons. One is the fact that he has iived down his erstwhile famous boner.

The other is the fact that he figured in every game of the world's series as a member of the champion Cubs, holding down first base for Fred Mitchell, who believed in him when other club owners and managers turned him down as a has-been. Please excuse Mr. Merkle. He has a perfect right to laugh out loud. IT WAS OLD DOC.

The other day there slipped into Boston from the west a pitcher whose stvle and manner seemed strangely familiar as he warmed up the bull pen at Braves field. The St. Louis Cardinals were working out for a scheduled game in Boston and they, watched the newcomer they speculated on who he might be. "Don't seem to have much," said one Cardinal. "Whoever he is we ought to beat him.

And another said: "One thing he ain't got is a fast one. I can see that." And then the boy with the megaphone announced that Crandall would pitch for the Braves. Yep. it was old Doc Crandall, who had come on from Los Angeles to help out. A seasoned youngster, indeed, and still something In his glove and noodle.

If he didn't have the speed, for he beat the Cardinals rather handily that day. Seems- a long time since' Old Do pitched and pinch hit for the Giants, and it is, but Crandall is another one' of those veterans who fool you. just as he fooled old-time friends who joshed him about his age when he pulled his registration card and showed that he won't be thirty-one for some time yet. Doc Is one of the old youngsters for he has been in baseball for more than a decade, but in the Pacific Coast league the past season he ranked high as a pitcher in wins and effectiveness, showing th.it be stin has eomet.r iry fewiaak Mat jm MERK LONG AND 000 There is a well-defined impression among local students of boxing that Dick Loadman Is in' for a rough time when he meets Jack Sharkey in the Buffalo baseball park ring tonight for -the members of the Queensberry Athletic club; And as the downfall of Sir Richard would be bound to be a sensational bit of boxing it is no wonder that members of the club to the number of 3,000 or 4,000 are expected at the park tonight for the big glove festivities. Many reservations stand for tonight and a good number of new applications for membership in the club have been filed.

When the postponement because of rain was announced yesterday afternoon Manager Joe Wagner took Sharkey down to the Allie Smith gymnasium to wacm up and the little fellow did a most impressive workout. He boxed with Joe Mendo and tackled the gymnasium apparatus and showed great power and agility. Built on the lines of the great Tom "Sharkey, Jack appears to delight in the hitting game which has so long been the forte of Loadman and there should be a bustling battle when the two come together in the center of the ring. Says He'll Win. "I'll be Just as good Friday night as I would have been tonight," said Jack, last evening, "and I'm going to take Dick's measure.

He won't be bothering about any disputes over the title with Pete Herman when we get through." And there are not a few members of the club who have seen him work who thoroughly agree with Sharkey. Loadman, when the notice of the postponement was phoned to him yesterday at once resumed work in the Duffy gym. The little conqueror of Johnny Ertle has trained down to, splendid form and will give a great account of himself. Jimmy Mack, his trainer, is back' from a wedding journey to Cleveland, and he says the "little guy looks to be in the pink of condition. If Sharkey stands up to him, as he says he will, it will be a great bout, for.

when Dick begins, to back out he's gone and I've never yet seen him back out." Protected Against Weather. 1 Weather indications are that everything will be propitious for the sport tonight. The big grandstand at the ball park ensures protection against the elements in any event, but the club, appreciating the importance of this match wished it boxed out with no rain hazards and consequently put it over till tonight during the showers of yesterday afternoon. Thes down-town office of the club at the Main Arcade, No, 319 Main street, is booking many 'reservations and where also applications for membership can be filed. There will be a sub-office in the vicinity of the ball park tonight to care for late applications.

PORTER TO BUY HORSES OF THE IMPORTED TYPE Saratoga, N. Sept. .13. Henry A. Porter intends to devote more time to breeding horses than racing them.

"It was his first idea when entering the racing field," said Trainer Harry Morrissey. "Mr. Porter would rather breed than race bourses, and that is his intention, and I enjoy the same opinion, The farm for mine, as I like it better than traveling around from one track to another. Before Mr. Porter gets through he will, have a fine lot of stock, and it will be mostly imported so far as the mares are concerned." Mr.

Porter is going over to Europe in time for the December sales, and will purchase more mares and a stal-Jion or, two. "I have not yet decided what I shall get, but all the mares will be either stake winners or the dams of stake winners," said Mr. Porter. "So far I have not yet decided what stallions I shall purchase, being content to wait until I get there, but I shall at least get one or two of the best I can buy, and probably more." HERE'S A TIP FOR THE GAY OLD BOYS Boys and men who come within the 18 to 45 classification for the nejtt draft, if they are will start getting ready for the work they will have to do now. Men who have passed the two-score mark will, if assigned to rigid military duty, find the work almost unbearable for some time unless they pave the way for the unaccustomed work by starting light training at- home.

Setting up exercises, long walks, a sensible diet and swimmnig will soon toughen the body so the work the drafted man must do will not prdve exhaustive. If everyone who comes within the wording of the proposed draft would start In this evening to get into condition, it would be a wonderful army that steps out when Uncle Sam calls "Forward!" DELL WOODS TO HOLD PRACTICE. This evening the Dellwoods will hold practice at Dellwood park and Manager Niklas requests all players to be on hand not Hater than 8 o'clock.

The Eagles and Alerts who played off last Sunday to decide second place in the Jefferson league of the Buffalo Municipal Baseball association will have to play their contest over. The Alerts won but the Eagles protested the game on account of the Alerts playing an ineligible player and, the board of directors instead of forfeiting the contest to the O.

E. ordered the game played over. The contest will not be played the coming Sunday as was at first announced but will be played Sunday, September 22. Time and place will be announced later. i Annual Feature at Belmont Park Tomorrqw Will be Marred by Many Scratches Billy Kelly of Ross Stable and Eternal, Winner of Hopeful Stakes, Will be Absent Keen Expected Notwithstanding.

New York. Sept. 13. The Futurity, one of America's richest produce races for two-year-olds, which will be renewed at Belmont park next Saturday, will have a value of about $30,000. It is impossible to say.

just how much. It will pay the winner. Races for which nominations are made before the nominees are in being, and which have all sorts of forfeits, are hard to figure. But it is likely that it will pay to the winner as much as the Hopeful yielded to the light-footed Eternal at Saratoga, a week ago last Saturday. Eternal's share of the Hopeful purse was $30,150.

One would think that a race of such -value would bring to the post the best two-year-old talent. And -fairly often the Futurity field is as good as regards class as any two-year-old race attracts in a season. But this year's Futurity will hardly attract more than half the great colts and fillies. Billy Kelly, the Juvenile hero of the Saratoga meeting and the acknowledged champion of his time, will not be among those present. MoitVmr wtii "Rternal.

the Hooeful win ner. will Blue Laddie, the star of the Maryland spring meetings. Nor may Cresson, Bon Jour, Ace, Elfin Queen, Sweep On, Terentia, War Marvel and War Pennant. Good Ones Absent. In some cases the owners of the dams of these youngsters; all of which have shown form at one time or another this season, overlooked the Futurity when it closed for mares some three seasons back.

In other cases the youngsters themselves were scratched because they did not look'promis-ing as foals or as yearlings. Billy Kelly, Sweep On, Eternal, Blue Laddie, Terentia, War Marvel and War Pennant will be sorely missed, the others in' a lesser degree. Nevertheless the Futurity of 1918 promises well. With Dunboyne, Hannibal, Thunderstorm, Rodgers, High Time, Purchase, Bat- tercake. Scoots, Lady Rosebud, Delaware, Star Realm, Star Hampton, Lads-Love, SirV Barton, Vindex and Pigeon Wing all ready for the colors, and all fairly certain of starting, the field will be nicely balanced and the winner will be hard to pick.

And they will draw a first rate crowd to Belmont Park for getaway day of the Westchester association's fall meeting. The Futurity has been a trenmen-dously popular race with American turf folk ever since it was instituted at Sheepshead Bay thitry-one years ago. It is, perhaps, a more widely advertised race than the Kentucky Derby, which is saying a lot, and its annual renewals bring to New York thousands of horsemen and horsefolk from all parts of the United States and Canada. People on this side of the Atlantic, who like quick action, pay more attention to two-year-oldt racing than folks do abroad.
