RUTGERS PUSHES SPORTS.
Athlatio Work Being Developed ae Aid
to Military Training.
One hundred athletes of Rutgers col
lege, New Brunswick, N. J., have form
ed a company and volunteered their |
services to the Home Defense league
of that city In case of need. Rutgers
students are all undergoing strenuous
military training and are being whip
ped Into shape for war service, but ath
letics at the college are being devel
oped further than ever as an aid to
this war training.
Only two gumes, Columbia and
Georgetown, have been formally can
celed from the Rutgers baseball sched
ule owing to the war situation, and the
rrincetou game Is doubtful, but the
rest of the schedule will be played out
unless there is a call for men before
the end of the present college year, in
that event the schedule will be aban
doned. Diplomas will be granted all
seniors who volunteer, and other stu
dents will be considered as having
passed the work of the present yenr.
Track and tennis us well as baseball
are being developed, and a special ef
fort is being made to get all the stu
dents of the college into active partiei- j
pation.
WE HAVE BEST JUMPERS.
English Schoolboys Do Not Go In In
tensively For Field Sport.
The latest budget of athletic news
from London Includes an item to the ;
effect that Philip of Harrow had set a
new English interscholastic record for j
the running high jump at 5 feet 9
inches. This does not compare very
favorably with the American inter
scholastic mark of li feet 3% inches,
credited to Wesley Oler when he was
at Pawling.
The difference between the British
and American high jump records is
quite a true index to the general supe
riority of our schoolboy athletes over
the English. While the men from Ox
ford and Cambridge generally can give
our best college athletes a good con
test, the status of scholastic athletes in
the tight little isle is far inferior to
that here. The English schoolboys do
not go in as intensively for track and
field sports as do the youths of our
schools. The English schoolboy ath
lete is more of a general performer.
ENTIRE TEAM ENLISTS.
Every Member of Club Heede the Call
to Join Country’s Forces.
An entire baseball team has left a
church league in Cook county. 111., to
enlist for service with the national
guard. Six members of the team rep
resenting the Bethlehem Norwegian
Lutheran church have enlisted in the
First Illinois cavalry, four others are
preparing to follow them, and the man
ager of the team, Karl Peterson, a for
mer navy man, has announced his in
tention of returning to the navy as a
gun pointer.
Albert Christensen, shortstop of the
baseball team, was unable to qualify
for enlistment because of his weight,
but his companions fed him bananas
and water until he acquired enough
weight to pass the examination.
Hors* Racing Despite War,
Horse racing is one of the sports that
continues in times of war. Last year,
despite the European war, Russia, Ita
ly and Austria had successful seasons,
while racing flourished in the British
colonies, Canada and Australia.

BILLY SUNDAY SAYS
KIND WORD FOB BOXING
Sport, Proporlj Regulated, All
Right; Gan Handle His Dukes.
The Rev. Billy Sunday, the evangel
ist, is a lxjxing as well as a baseball
enthusiast. Talking on the ring game
recently, he said:
“Nothing wrong with it. Boxing
properly regulated is not harmful and
does a certain amount of good. Cer
tainly won't corrupt any one's morals.
There can't be any harm ns long as
they don't jiug with the bare knuckles,
as in the <•'.<; days,” added Mr. Sunday.
“Boxing r-^^es a fellow courageous,
makes him self dependent. The boy
or man who can box isn’t afraid. lie
knows he can protect himself, and you
never find that sort of fellow seeking
trouble. Every boy should be taught
to box. Bully exercise. I want my
boy to be able to box and protect him
self. You never heard of a good boxer
going around with a gun in Ills pocket,
did you? No, you bet you didn't.
"I believe in boxing and all manly
sports, just as 1 believe in universal
military training. Good things for the
nation at large. Makes boys and men
strong of body and mind. That's what
we want—strong men, not weak old
fossils. Athletics keep you in good
health. That's the main thing.
“And,” concluded Mr. Sunday, with
a wink, “I don't mind telling you that
I cau handle my own dukes pretty
well. In my younger days I was some
what of a boxer myself, and X haven’t
forgotten how.”
EARL GARDNER OUT.
Was Released at His Own Request by
the Toledo Club.
Another well known ball player has
retired from the game. Earl Gardner,
who once covered second base for the
Yankees, was released at his own re
quest by the Toledo club. Gardner
notified Manager Roger Bresnahan
that he had decided to stick to his
winter Job as cashier In a bank.
Gardner Is said to have been dissat
isfied with the terms of a new con
tract, but It Is too late now to get In
out of the wet, as the Toledo club will
fill his place with Lute Boone, who
was let out by Bill Donovan last fall.
