Gary, Ind., May 18, 1917. Sporting- Editor TIMES: The Boss Specials wish to challenge any of the junior teams in Xik county. Most of the teams around this neighborhood, are kind of skeptical about arranging1 frames with the Specials. The Hammond Grays and the Marino Colts are preferred.

WASHINGTON, May 33. President Wilson yesterday, In a letter to Lawrence Ferry of New Tork advocating the continuance of sports in college, wrote: "I would he sincerely sorry to see the men and hoys in our colleges and schools give up their athletic sports and Z hope inoBt sincerely that the normal course of college sports will be continued, so far as possible, not only to afford a diversion to the American people In the days to come, when we shall no doubt hare our share of mental depression, but as a real contribution to the national defense, for our young men must be made physically fit, in order that later they may take the place of those who now are of military ag"e and exhibit the rigor and alertness which we are proud to believe to be characteristic of our young men."

Here's a baseball team that can't date them up fast enough. Winning all down the line the Ross Specials, who train at Gary, want some meat as will be seen by the above challenge. Last Sunday they waxed strong and took the second game of the series from the Acker & Schmidt team of Gary. 8 to 0 at Glen Park. The best the losers could do was to register one safe blow and not till the ninth Inning did they get a man as far as third. In the ninth G. Vilson led oft for Acker & Schmidt with a single. Murray fanned and "Wilson etole second. Garver walked rfind both runnrs moved up on a passed hall. Foraked fanned and Brueckheimer popped out. "Brandy" Marquardt starred for the Specials with a single, two two-baggers and a three-bagger. In the third Jansen

Next Sunday the Specials play the Indiana Harbor Nationals at the Harbor.

Sporting Editor: 'My Dear Friend In order to increase the funds of th Red Cross I have written to our governor. Mr. Phillips, that 1 would gladly box any one they select for me, the entire share of the boxers to go for the good of the cause. In this way I could help swell the bank account of the Red Cross to a considerable amount. I would also gladly meet Red Dolan. Knock-Out Meyers. Joe Bishop or any other boxer of any reputation that Hammond or East Chicago promoters could secure for me, th entire amount, outside of traveling expenses, to go to the Red Cross. 1 trust that this will meet with the approval of all the promoters around Lake county. Also remember that the boxers of this country are more than willing to do the most for their country, but in this way the boys can gather in a -good amount of money for the government before actually Jumping in and going to the front. Nevertheless, just watch our regiment of boxers that will bring in all the good ones in the pug line now being organized In Missouri, of which I am a membei Hoping that Hammond or East Chicago matchmakers will see fit to arrange this bout. I remain. Your old friend, R. Sicbert, Jr.

Manager Howard has a tough proposition in filling the hole, but has several prospects in sight and expects to land fast players for the released positions. "Bill" has been in a quandary over Bart and Hudson. Both are crack catchers. Bart has a bit more pep and Howard

definitely announced last night that he

would keep Bart behind the bat and play Hudson either In the outfield or keep him on the bench as utility batsman. Davis, a Hubbard Steel Foundry player, will be given another try Sunday In the gardens. If he makes good he will be retained. The Chicago Giants, a colored team, will play at Parduhn park Sunday afternoon.

By H. C. HAJeiI.TOK i (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, May 2 "The National league must win some world's championships or baseball as well as the National league is going to suffer." said John K. Tener. president of the National league, today. "The case with which the Red Sot defeated Brooklyn last year and the fact that they had little trouble in winning from Philadelphia the year before makes it rather hard for the Nation league . "We haven't been winning world's championships often enough. The reputations of the old Cubs and the old Giant:- doesn't do us much good. The fact that the Braves established a rec-

in four straight games, defeating what is called the greatest baseball machine ever pieced together, doesn't get us any prestige at all. We've got to win championships and keep on winning tnem. "I realize just as much as any one that our league doesn't seem to shape up with the American, although I know

In my own heart that by comparison honest comparison on the record years tha; we do not suffer." Tener undoubtedly has grasped point on which the National league k.: of baseball is going to live or die. Taxational league will have to win sonv championships before it can take rani witbj the brand produced by Ban Johnson's subjects. Xew Tork has acquired considerable of a National league baseball club. II is expected everywhere that It will wir the National league championship. If It does It will provide some pretty strong opposition for anything the American league can trot out. In a short series it would be a hard task to defeat that aggregation of high-strung, hard-playing athletes. The regularity with which the Athletics formerly crushed National league opposition, the success of the Red Sox tyi 1912 and their two later victories In 1915 and 1916 look rather bad for the National bague -and all this in spite of the wonderful Cubs, the. Pirates and the amazing feats of the Braves.
