THE WAR CONDITIONS eral Participation-of Youth in Athletics.

On the | contrary the war will do mere than any other factor to bring about gen- eral participation in sports by Am- | erican youth," was Dr. Sharpe's opin ion. He looks for an athletic regen- | eration. "Football will suffer somewhat in quality because the time to develop teams like those in the past is lack- ing," he continued." 'The college men will want to give more time to military training, and they should.

Fight or forfeit the title. This is the ultimatum *"an angry fight Tan" would issue to Jess Willard. * Mr. Fan has expressed the sentiments of nmiany thousands ,of boxing enthusi {asts in the United States. Willard has come to. be regarded as cham- | pion in name-only. But who is there with the authority to strip Jess Wil- lard of his erown and award it to another heavyweight? Jess doesn't want to fight. Every- one knows that. He would like to retire, but doesn't dare because his | circus depends upon his chambion- | ship. But it is apparent the fans | are getting. tired of his inactivity. | Once since winning the title from { Jack Johnson, more than two yéars | ago, has Jess condescended (for a paltry $47,500) to re-enter the ring. That once was a year ago last March. It's a long time between bouts. | That a champion is able to re- { main idle so long without defending his title proves that a governing { body such as the National Sporting Club of London is needed in this t country. There is. an organization which was founded on the prospect of controlling the sport, but govern. {ing boxing in the United Stat.s, or, rather, not controlling the sport, but governing it so far as uniform- | ity of rules and weights is cogcern- ed, with a view also to make cham- pions in all divisions defend their | title within stated intervals.

"The Giants are unusually | strong, particularly in batting," said | Manager Mack, "and it will take | some great pitching by Cicotte, Fa- {ber, Russell and Williams to hold | them down | "Cicotte is a first-class pitcher, in | spite of the 'shine ball' which he has been using all season. He would get the same results without it. But the 'shine ball' is just as legal as the 'spit ball,' so there should be no kick about it. "I'm not in the habit -of picking winners, but being an American Lea- gue man, I'd be glad to see the White Sox come out on top. They'll have to play harder than ever to whip the Giants however and for that reason I think the coming series will be one of the hest in the history of base- Another World's Record. A new world's swimming record was set at San Francisco when Miss Claire Galligan, of New York, com. pleted the women's national 500- yard championship in 7 minutes 31 2-5 seconds. This bettered Miss Fannie Durack's time of 7 minutes 32 2.5 seconds, made at Sydney, Australia, in 1915. Miss Galligan swam in a 25.yard tank. But Was it Lacrosse? Goal scoring records for past sea- son in the National Lacrosse Union are not available. However, in the slugging department "Newsy" La- londe leads with six or seven knock- outs to his credit. Neil Penny, George Roberts and Degray are also well up, while Montreal police fig- nred in kayo specialties in several pases. No wonder Joe Lally quit in lisgust! | SOME FLY CATCHER. hte .

The McCallum Granite Company, Ltd. 897 Princess Street. Junior Hockey in Saskatchewan Junior hockey is going to be pro- mefed on an extensive scale in Sas- katchewan this coming winter. "We feel it is very important at the pres- ent time, in view of conscription, to promote the game among the young- er boys," writes "Billy" Bettschen, secretary of the Saskatchewan Ama- teur Hockey League. "I felt this very strongly last March, wh I saw the brave little Vices of Winnipeg do battle with the older players of To- ronto and Port Arthur. Nothing like starting early, and when "the Winter comes we will find ourselves organized." A cynic is a man who must be un- happy in order to appear happy. 1 Gives Giant Fang Confidence. Giant fans are prepariig - to put their last dollar on the McGraw clan in the coming clash with the White, Sox. Reason: Charley Herzog is back with his old zip and pep. Reports from Philadelphia of the fire Her- zog displayed in the games against the Phillies brought assurance to the Giant followers that the New York infield will be on the job with its full strength in the world's series. Herzog had a good rest at his home. His back, which caused his layoff, is strong again. There is no doubt that Herzog's fighting spirit carries the Giants to heights they never attain without him. MoGraw's pitchers are also ready.
