NEXT WORLD'S SERIES

Entire Proceeds To Go To Founding Home For Crippled Yanks And Gobs.

CHICAGO. Oct. 24.—•Wh«fl next world's series is played, and by whomsoever it is played, it will be solely for the benefit of our wounded soldiers and sailors, if a thought, sponsored by President. Johnson of the American league, is approver! by the United States government.

Briefly, the idea is to devote the entire proceeds of the next world's contest to founding a permanent home for those Yanks and Gobs who come back from the trenches and the sa lanes so seriously crippled that they cannot be restored to business or professional pursuits to contribute the proceeds of subsequent world's series, so far as necessary, to completing or enlarging this home, and to set aside from nil future events oil the kind sufficient revenue for maintenance and the assurance of all comforts to those who gave everything except their lives to make the world safe for democracy.

In the establishment, equipment, and maintenance of the proposed institution, the government will be asked to assume the supervision and disbursement of all moneys according to the latest and best ideas the American medical world has evolved, the function of professional baseball being merely to supply the necessary funds through the medium of its woild's series. "Proceeds" in this case will not mean a certain percentage, nor what is left after the participants in the contest have extracted tlielr bits. It will mean absolutely all the receipts over and above the actual, necessary cost of conducting the affair, such as transportation etc.

I'layera Eqicettl to Comply. Included In the thought is the expectation that the players, umpires, and everybody concerned in the staging of the world's series will gladly serve without pay. so as to make the postseason a 100 per cent benefit for the nation's helpless heroes.

This plan, if acceptable to the government when conditions permit the resumption of professional baseball, will convert a bane into a blessing. For more than a do'/.en yearn ».ne world's series has been the bane of the major leagues. It. was responsible for substituting the dollar sign for honor. ]t converted a lot of players into grasping, greedy financiers. It was responsible for the Federal league and all the ensuing evils. In practically every newspaper the receipts of a game took precedence over the result of it, because the majority of the fans wanted to know the attendance figures before they did the score.

Coin, not the world's pennant, came to be the stake played for. And^ it needed only the strike of the Red Sox and Cubs last September to make that world's series the crowning disgrace of a decadent sport.

By reviving it, as President Johnson suggests, under government auspices, as a benefit for the disabled soldiers and sailors, all the old evils can be eliminated for all time, i* is thought, and at the same time a national service performed. The public will then know the players will be animated only by the desire to win the world's pennant. There will be no dollars at stake for them. That alone will convert the series into the grea£ sporting event it was intended to be.

Cure for Scalping Evil.

The public will know, too. that the money it pays to watch the games will be devoted entirely to the greatest possible good. It will then be possiole to auction off box seats snd reservations to the highest bidders, none of whom will protest the cost, because they jvill be assured under government supervision that their donations will reach the intended destination. And the old scalping scandal will be wiped out absolutely, because the blackguard who might attempt to profiteer out of a benefit for the beloved wards of a grateful nation would learn the real meaninjf of, the slogan, "Treat 'em rough.''

Merely to give an idea of the possibilities of this proposition, the gross receipts of the world's series of 1912, when baseball was at its zenith, were S190.S33, or very close to half a million dollars, at fixed prices. With reservations sold at auction, without limit on the patriotism of bidders, undoubtedly a greater sum could be realized for a purpose to which every American would be eager to subscribe.

WABASH WILL PLAY.

Flu Or No Flu, Scarlet Meets Butler Saturday. CR AWFOHDSVILLE, lnd., Oct. 24 Wabash college is expecting to clash with Butler here Saturday afterncon and iinal arrangements have already been completed for the scrap. Permission has been received from Tjieut. P. R. Knoll, and Coach Townscnrt says that there is no "may" in the story, but that the game is certain.

This will, if the above i» carried out. be perhaps the only football game in the state Saturday. The manner In which the management of the Little Giants expect to avoid having the gaxe canceled by the health ruling 13 by holding it in private. Therefore, the game will be staged as was an interschool contest at Wabash last w?ek end. The S. A. T. C. students at Wabash will then be the only spectators to witness the game from the sida lines.

In preparations for this game, which he asserts will be the initial game of the season here, .Coach Townsend» is sending his men through daily scrimmages. Defensive practice has been his emphatic point in the daily scuffles for the past two weeks and as a result he has developed a line which will be no ea?v task to brean.

The back field quartet is exceptionally strong. Of this galaxy. Burns, the Iowa boy, looms up as the individual star. He wilt line up in the fullback position. King, last year's smashing half, will be in the left side, and Gauge, the Cincinnati boy, will bold down the right half. Captain Huffine, whose previous records marks him as a star, will be on the job at quarter.

APPOINTED MORALE OFFICER.

Capt. Paul Hyde Davie* Gets Promotion at Camp Custer. Captain Paul Hyde Davies. 160th depot brigade, has been appointed actin? camp morale officer and has reported for dutj. This is a new department recently established. The duties of the camp morale officer include investigation of the morale of the men in the local camp, promoting those endeavors which will raise the morale and looking into all things which seem to hinder or decrease the morale.

Captain Davies was formerly with the 337th infantry but was transferred to the depot brigade when the 80th division went overseas. He i? a singer of great ability and won considerable prominence through his solo work with the Sjth division band when that organization was under tbe direction of Bohumir Kryl.

BOXERS NAMED. FOR I

Great Lakes To Be Represented In Allied Bouts By Five Fistic Experts.

CHICAGO. Oct. 24.—Gr«at Lakes Xaval Training station will be represented in the interallied boxing tournament in London on Dec. 11 and 12 by a team composed of five fighters of professional caliber. With the selection o/ Hichie Mitchell, lightweight Jack Heinen, heavyweight Dennis O'Keefe, welterweight, and Pal Moore, bantamweight, already made, it remained fo?" the battles of yesterday in the ravine arena to decide the fifth man. That man was Cal Delaney of Cleveland, lightweight scrapper.

The business of discovering the best man for the "fifth wheel'' was the feature of the weekly serieej of bouts. Four scrappers, all of whom had engaged in professional boxing, sought the coveted trip to London. Great Lakes officials decided that a committee composed of seven judges should pick the man best for a place ^n the team. Three of the judges were-navy men, Lieut. Kelly, Knsfgn Retd «rid Lieut. Quand, the other judges bein^ newspaper men.

Deiar.ey was sent against Joe Sherman. southern lightweight, and tbeyput up a great scrap for three rounds. The opinion of most ringaidcrs wjs a draw but that Delaney appeared in the tter form. Then the other contenders for the open place on tho team were culled into action. They wera Vincent Pokorney of Cleveland and J'omiry Schiffer of Buffalo. This was a hot Engagement, but it would have done an injustice to either boxer to trive it to the other. The decision of the judges settled tbe matter with Delaney the selection.

WILLARD IS WILLING.

"QtTANAH, Tex., Oct. 24.—"f shall be very glad to do everything in my power to make the campaign a great success," Jess Wiilard said when shown an Associated Press dispatch quoting a New York telegram requesting the heavyweight champion to give his pugilistic services in a campaign to raise funds for army welfare organizations. Being without details of the plan, he said, he could make no further statement.

Wiilard is in Quanah looking after his oil interests.

RACE MEETING OFF.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 24.—It has been found necessary to once more defer the opening of the Latonia Jockey club's fall race meeting, which, after two previous postponements, had been pet for the coming Thursday. The influenza situation has not improved to the point where the health authorities of Kentucky considered It advisable to lift the ban against"public gatherings at this time.

The announcement for further postponement of the opening was made esterdav afternoon by General Manager John Tfachmeister, of tho Latonia track, after consultation with the health officials of Kentucky. Hachmeister, in making the announcement that the meeting would not begin today. said that he considered it best not to attempt to set a date when it was hoped to proceed with the racing, as had been done when the opening was previously postponed, only to have the racing people disappointed by inability to carry oat th# plans tentatively made.
