Baker, Secretary of y'nr, lmld a glowing tribute to tha achieve-ment- s obtained from mass athletes In the college In the United States nt a meeting of the National Collegiate Ath-letl- o Association held yesterday In tho Alitor Hotel. The Secretary addrcssod the Catherine of more than a hundred educators rep- resenting four score Institutions at tho morning session. He i'oka extempo- raneously and mado a profound Impres- sion on his hearers. After tho Secretary had finished his address tho association cot down to business and pasied a resolution recom- mending that nil universities and col leges In Amrelca bar freshmen from all varsity competition, me uoiiy nirn wem on record as being In favor of boxing fti an Intercollegiate sport Mr. Baker was th prlnclpnl figure of the day. He was accompanied by Lieut.-Ge- Robert I Bullard, who also made a brief address. M.ijor-Go- O'Ryan 'made nn Infornul talk. \Had .It not been ror tho college ath- letes and the collety; men In gpnerul who responded so really to the call of war,\ began the ScerMnry. \our army would have been In n serious dilemma for officer material. As a result of their physical education these men came to us In tho 'pink of condition' and 1.11 awkward task was made really easy, comparatively speaking.\ The Secretary referred to the fact that 65 per cent, of tho mass of soldiers were found to be ' physically fit. Th others, he paid, were not entirely In- capacitated, but were unabto to perform full military duty. \A map of the United States show. Ing the proportionate distribution nf physical fitness,\ he continued, \would make It evident that the proportion arles as It Is affected In the various sections by local and climatic condi- tions. In the New KnK'and States tha physical nvera.ro seems to be Inwost. while the middle Weft seems to be the best developed section. In the. middle West only 85 per cent, of the pros- pective roldlers were rejected on ac- count of physlc.il unfltners. In New York State, the city Included, 49 per cent, of the applicants were able to make the grade. \I wish t ocommend th moral con- duct of the American soldier abroad. The reports of army chap'nln and wel fare workers have been most gratirying. ThlP, In -- turn, is a striking tribute to athletics as a moral lever with which to restrain the baser Instincts of man by providing ample opportunity for the\ exhalation of surplus energy. ITnlse for Y. 31. C. A. \There Is nothing that I could say that would sufficiently oxnrs the dPbt of cratitude we owe the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus the Y. M. H. Am i the P.ed Cross and kindred oraranisatlons i which facilitated the furtherance of letlcs In the A. E. F. They, of course, based their activities on the work that had been done in American colleges be- fore the war. \While no one hopes more than I that the recent war will prove to b the last war, It is always tho unexpected that happens. If ever again we want to have manhood that is fit we should start now to eliminate that 35 per cent, of phys- ically unfit. 'Mass athletic,' which mado such gratifying progress during the last year, seem to me to furnish the only means for solving the problem. And I take great pleasure In commend- ing you gentlemcrj uport the efficient use to which you, who hold this miar.s with- in your grasp, have put It, especially Uncn the war. \The young men of the nation re- turned home from the war anxious to continue active exercise, as Is proved by tho unprecedented success of miss play In the colleges during the last year. It behooves nil of'us to fall 'into this same spirit of youth, to profit by the example of the young men of our land and to see that the coming generation always has ample facilities for proper, healthful recreation.\ Stnrtft Delinte. Football, ever one of the disturbing factors In the association, again proved the force that shook the delegates Into activity. The subject mode thn meeting ring .with debate. Dr. F. W. Nicholson of Wesleyan, acting fAr the executive committee, proposed the adoption of a reconnnendatlcn looking 'to prevent freshmen from participating In Inter collegiate competition.

Tele- grams from leading colleges are pour- ing In to the Crimson delegation In large numbers dally, giving encouragement and appealing to Harvard to defeat tho Westerners. The messages come not only to Fred W. Moore and Dob Fisher, but also to Casey, the Horwcens and other Indi- viduals ot the Crimson aggrega'lon as well. It Is a manifestation of the loyalty of the Easterners, who want the't repre- sentatives from ncross the Charles to demonstrate to the \cocky\ West that the product of the Pacific seaboard Is not superior to that of the Atlnntle.

Clubs Expect to ITavo Trouble Signing Up Stnrs Jilg'ht Yanks in Line. Mr I'll 101)13 OK (I, 1,11511, Tho New York Yankees are appa- rently far bettor fortified than most clubs to resist tho salary drives which the players are expected to mako on their employers after tho 1920 contracts nro distributed. Tho major leaguo clubs nre ohllyed to put those contracts In the mall, by 12 o'clock In order to reservo player. In announcing yesterday that con tracts had been placed In the malls for twenty-thre- o New York Amirlcan play ers, Harry Sparrow, business manager of the team, revealed the fnct that eight members of the Yankees already nre signed up for next yc.ir, They aro Hogcr Pceklnpauah. shortstop and cap- tain of the te.im; Del Pratt, the sepond Uflhemnn: Waliy I'Iho. the first baso- - man; Carl Mays, Jack Qulnn and Krnlo Shorn, pitchers Muddy Iluel, catcher, and Al WIckland. Pratt, Shore and Peoklnpaugh- - wore holdouts lost sprln. It was known that the Yankees hod granted any two year contracts last season, but with tha exoeptlon of lUiel all of these players have contracts that still a year to run, Ruel signed for 1920 shortly be- fore leaving New York Inst fall. Mlllor Hugglns, manager of tho Yan- kees, Intends to taku only thirty men to the Jacksonville training u,ui nrxi spring. The others, most of whom wcro recalled from other clubs last fall, will be r'lei.ed during the next few days. As far ns Is known the Giants have on.y three legularrf signed up for next year. Fred Toney, Artie Nehf and Miguel Gonzales signed contracts before they left Now Yoik last fall. The Brooklyn club has slgnod up its players who live) In tho greater city. Among the Dodger regulars who have signed for 1924 nrn Bubo Mnrquard, Otto Miller, Ernie Krueger. Jimmy John- ston and Ivun Olson. Cubs Kxpect Tronble. The Indications are that a lot of clubs will experience trouble signing players during the winter. There was much dis- satisfaction with the salaries during the 1919 season. When the players were signed last winter most of the magnates expected a poor season immediately after war and salaries wore considerably below those offered players during the Federal League war. With the exception the stars players drew top notch salaries. Instead of 1919 being poor season It turned out to b one of very best and many players as early ns last sum- mer announced that they were going \to get theirs\ next year. Thero was a report around town that Bobble Roth, traded on Mon- day from the Red Sox to the Senators, eventually land In New York, Hug- glns was very sweet on Roth last winter and endeavored to get1 him from Cleve-lrn- d In trade before the Athletics made a better offer and gave up Larry Gard- ner, Elmer Myers and Jacobson for him. Hugglns also tried to get h(m from tho Athletics last summer when word was passed along thnt 'Mack was willing to part with him. Hugglns hsd some dealings with Grif- fith during the annual meeting, when the New Yorker tried to get Sam Rice from the Senators, but Rice Is ono man that Griffith will not let go. It Is under- stood thnt Hugglns might have had Clyde Milan, hut Zeb is beginning to slip and Hugglni declined to make\ any denl' for him. Several years ago any manager would have Jumped at tho chonco to get Milan. The release of Harper to Boston leaves Griffith with only two first class pitchers Walter Johnson and Jim Shaw. The Yankees mny help out Grif- fith with pitchers In exchange for Roth. Minora Going Sonth. Signs prosperity for the Interna, tlonal League wero shown by the an- - rounccment Arthur Irwin, manager of the Rochester team, that his club prob- - ably will train In Goldboro. N. C next spring. Irwin will lenve here In a day or two for Goldboro to complete ar- rangements for the trip. Thero was time a few years back when all International League nnd American Ansociatlon teams went South to train the same as the hk? league clubs. But during the Federal League and the world war years the little fel- lows were forced to glvo up the prac- tice. What training was done was at their own ball yards. Tho Yankees are going to have a Murphy battery next senson. Among (he rookies are Pitcher Cheater Murphy nn WInnAMc nnrl Pntrhrr Dan Murphy. rookie from Toledo. Chester Murphy Bhould be winner. He had no knowledge that he would be retained, but he wrote such an eloquent letter to Harry Sparrow for ?250 advance salary that Sparrow sent him check for it.

The suddon Jump from winter's cold to summer's heat Is likely to raise hob with tho Harvard players. It Is likely to throw tho whole eleven out of physical gear. Harvard broko training on Thanks giving Day and did not resume tho grind until fortnight ago. The short tralnlnrr period was then halted by long rldo acros.i the continent.

The fortune that awaits the manager of a heavyweight champion Is the mag- net that keeps those who make a busi- ness of boxing continually In search of promising young giants. Ons bv oris the youngsters blossom, usually to fad awny ns quickly as they bloomed. Al- ways there are tips going the rounds on some \wonder\ In the maklngi. Usually the \jvonder\ prove a bloomer, but there Is always the chance he will maks good and work his way up tha ladder to fame and fortuna. From up Stata tha tip has filterad Into New York of a young heavyweight of rare promlte. fo great Is ha said to ho thnt mnny of the metropolitan fistic sharps nre going to make a special trip to Syracuse on Naw Year's to see him perform. Ha Is Frank Rice, young farmer from R.clplo, a hamlet Just out- ride of. Auburn, N, Y, Rico will get hlu first real test In a bout-ftgaln- Al Ben- edict at Joe Dunfee's club in Syracuse Thursday. Rke has Just turned 21 years-o- f age. Ha Is a splendid physical specimen. Ha tips tha beam at 210 pounds and has tho strength of an ox. Ha wanted to play football, but a few weeks ago soma of his friends Induced him to take up boxing. Ha stopped his first opponent with one punch. Since then he has fought six bouts and In none of them has his opponent been ablo to last mora than three rounds. Considering Rice's splendid start, his youth, build and enormous strength it Is no wonder ho Is attracting attention. He may prove a bloomer like most ot the other vonnir \nhennms\ that are un earthed. The bout with Benedict, how- ever, should give a real lino on his ability. Some of the fistic sharps hve a \hunch\ that Rice Is n real find and will climb high In flstlana. Chnnrr Deserves Chance, Young Chaney, who decisively out- pointed Johnny Kllb.me on Monday night, deserves a title bout with the featherweight champion. Many of those who saw the encounter In Jersey are In- clined to overestimate Kllbarte'p whirl- wind finish. After tlncannlng for seven rounds and letting Chaney do all tha work Johnny cut loose with a rally so sharp, sudden nnd savage that ha bat- tered Chaney about the ring. Yet de- spite the fact that the Baltimore hoy was tired from his early exertions, Kllbane. who elbowsd, heeled, gouged and wres- tled, could not knock hln off his feat. Chaney was strong and full of fight at the finish. Leaving tho club, we he-- iI tans ex- - press the opinion that If Kllbane had 'fut Ioos' thrt fl7t rouncl ns he .tn 'Bt ? wouU1 hv n a quick wrong, however. Johnny put all he had behind a one-tw- n punch at the start of the fight, nnd when he found that It filled to even slow up Chaney he wifely followed tho safe plan of battle. That was to box on the defensive and sava his title. Against a man of Chanty's nblllty a first round o.nblaught like the one Kll- bane flashed In the final round might have wrought he.voc with the champion. Johnny N a veternn. He does not re- - lcunenite ns miiekl\ nn he used to. and \ his sUmlnn nnd vitality are lower. Tf Kllbane had fought from tho rtart as he did In the final round the champion prolnbly would have become weaker and weaker. To have attempted to rough It with Clinney for eight round practically would be equivalent to Kllbane present- ing tho Baltimore boy with the title. \Profesnor\ Gibbons.
