Ted Meredith, one of the grea stance runners ever America, sends tr the trenches that his countrymen war should not overlook the import- ance of maintaining a high develop- ment in athletics. It is the young athlete who war for Uncle Sam,' writes the former versity of Penusylvanla star. can e this better demonstrated each day that I am spending here on the fighting line. The youth who has had an athletic career is winning greater honors than his un- athletic brother. This war Is little more than a gigantic athletic strug- gle. Often I am reminded of the big college football game by the way one side pushes an opponent down the field only to be held on the ten-yard line by a marvellous bit of defensive work. "The lad 'who has learned his les- son of taking a sound drubbing in athletics without showing the 'yel- low streak' is the soldier that the Allies want over here. "The tried veteran of the athletic field makes the superior goldier. If vou follow my advice you will do all in your power to 'prove to the American people that athleties are playing a most important part in the big strife over here. "Po discontinue athletics at the present time would be to handicap the troops who are at present on the firing }ine, and supporters must be constantly backing up the lads in the first-line trenches or -else the victory which 'we are all hoplug for will be denied us. "It is only by a thorough athletic training that the real soldier can be developed. To stop all sports would be to deny the overseas forces their just deserts 1 am sure that when the real facts in the case are bho- roughly known every person in Am- erica will be a most enthusiastic ad- vocate of sport." \ is SPENCER Quits in Crucial Race at Newark-- Kramer Regains Crown. Arthur Spencer of Toronto, the American cyeling champion of 1917, was Wednesday night at Newark, N.J., relieved of his crown by the veteran Frank Kramer cof East Orange, N.J. Kramer was beaten last season by the youthful Toronto rider after holding the champion- ship for sixteen years. The old master was tendered a tremendous ovation when he regained laur- els in the two-mile race. Spencer quit again He den most unsatisfactorily in many of hig races of late. The Canadian unquestionably has terrific speed when he wants to call upon it, but he has made repeated claims to the effect that he is being discriminated against by the promoters and other officials. The lad was an idol last season, but his popularity has wan- ed. Although he was a poor second in the points record, Spencer had a chance to retain his title. » Kramer by winning the two-mile event has a lead that cannot be NEWFOUNDLAND his has rid Accompanied hy officers from the Island eolony, which has i the PREMIER JOHN WHITE | Well-known Cornwall Indian lacrosse | layer, who was badly hurt in oronto Saturday.

Tener Resigns, The resignation of John K. Tener as president of the National Baseball League was received in.Chicago at National League headquarters. In a letter addressed to all' the club presidents in the Nat onal League, President Tener said: "Having declined to serve further on the National Commission for the good reason familiar to ead h of you, 1 must ask that my resignation as your president, tendered last Decem- ber, be now accepted. "I am prompted to take this course out of consideration of the present gituation and that you may more speedily select-my successor, Ww ho will, if you desire, serve on the tom- mission under the circumstances." The resignation of President Tener will ¢lear up the involved situation in the National Commission and ex- pedite the work of that organization in preparing for the proposed world's series, scheduled to begin Sept. 3rd ith. or at a Grift Is Lizely Choice. The trend of baseball talk is that Clarke Griffith will be the next presi- dent of the American League. Grif- fith has gone in for the big stuff. His Bat and Ball Fund is a great enter- prise, and he knows how to meet and talk with big men.

Boxing is to be an essential part | of the training of every British sol- dier henceforth, The average train. ing period of the British recruit now | ie not more than six months, but sev. eral hours of each week will be de voted to boxing, partly in an effort te counteract the deadening influence of continuous drilling, and partly be- cause boxing is regarded as the best possible means of developing the "combative spirit" in soldiers, Dur- ing the present summer a compre- hensive program of boxing tourna. ! ments will be carried out in every . training camp in England. In an instruction leafiet Col. H. G. | Mayes, Director of the Canadian Army Gymnastic Staff; says: "The cultivation of the fighting spirit is the greatest problem with which we are faced. For some time | past the bayonet has been our espe- {<a weapon, and no other nation has { ever achieved such success with cold steel. But there is something still lacking in the training. The soldier is taught the spirit of the bayonet, taught that he must strike hard to kill, but he is not taught to take as well as give, punishment. "There is practically only one pas time to give our men this essential experience. That is boxing. In Bo { other sport is the spirit of give and take so strongly developed. And that | is why a new era in the training of | the British soldier has come into ex- | istence. We are going to try to teach our, men that an offensive, com- bativ spirit is the greatest asset a soldier can possess. "In order to beat the Germans, the average soldier must realize that a tremendous effort has yet to be made, | both physical and mental, Courage is created or largely based on confi- dence. Boxing teaches a man self- | confidence, how to take a blow or a succession of blows, knowing that his opportunity is coming. "What we owe to boxing and other sports in this crisis it Is impossible | to calculate, notwithstanding that only ten per cent. of the nation par- | ticipated. The mere fact of watching | boxing and other sports has tended in a measure to keep alive. the com- bative instinct of the British race, although it must be remembered that watching a game may Increase an individual's spirit, but does not im- prove his physique." Gathered In About 600. Jack Britton, the Chicago middle- weight, and Soldier Bartfield, of New York, fought six fast rounds.to a draw at Philadelphia last night. In the fifth round Britton dropped his opponent -to the mat, but Bartfield came back strong in the sixth and earned a draw. In the first bout on the programme Harry Greb; Pittsburg, won the popu- lar decision over Battling Levinsky, of New York. Greb was the aggres sor throughout. Sam Langford, Boston, won easily from Jack Thompson, Kansas City Langford had the better of all rounds, Before the first tout 300 Govern-| ment agents went through the crowd and arrested about 600 alleged draft evaders, six A Hard-lnck Horse, The fact that Omar Khayyam has contracted a quarter crack that pos- sibly will put him on the retired list for the rest of the season was matter of deep regret and disappointment to racing followersshere. The champion three-year-old of 1917 was counted on to fake a leading part in the big handicaps at the Spa. Turf follow ers were anxious to see him measure strides with Cudgel, Roamer and other crack handicappers. He appa» ently had fully recovered from the | illness that set him back early thi spring and he promised to be just as great a sensation as he was last y when he ran off with every big three. . year-old stake of the meeting. Willard To Box For Benefit. Jess Willard, champion heavy- weight pugilist, will box in Chicago Saturday for the benefit of the Over seas War Fund of the Salvation Army, This announcement was made, | based on a telegram from Willard at { Lawrence, Kan., reading: "Have altered busiress arrange- ments and will be with you August 10th: Gold brick purchasers are born {often enough to keep the manufac- (turers from going out of business. it is as difficult for some young imen to slow down rapidly as it is for some to make haste slowly.
