WHLY'S C0lNER
s g eAAT s.. & &

The st. Mary's C. C. of Steelton, is
not losing any time to get started in
baseball. The team has been reor-
ganized and a schedule will be ar
ranged to start in April. Nicholas p.
Zerance is president and M. Sostar
manager. This team was quite promi-
nent last season.
Judging by the activity on the part
of baseball players to sign up for next
season. the much talked about strike
is not likely to happen. Players VINO
stick with the fraternity will probably
include those who have other busi-
ness to look after and play baseball
as q side issue. This means probably
score of stars whose places will be
filed by promising youngsters.
Eugene (Shorty) Miller was yester-
day selected as track coach for Gen.
trail High School. He will start at
once with a large squad in preparation
for the big carnival in Philadelphia
the latter part of April. A coach will
be selected next week. There are al
ready 40 candidates on the list.

EGGS ARE SCARCE
AND MAY BE WORSE
Dairy and Food Commissioner
Foust Makes Statement Re-
garding Cold Storage

State Dairy and Food Commissioner
James Foust to-day declared that
Pennsylvania sis facing a serious egg
shortage, with less than three eggs
per capita in cold storage at the pres
ent time" This statement was made
after a study of the reports of the
seventy-one cold storage warehouses
operating under state licenses and
supplying the public. Only forty of
the plants hold any eggs.
THE only hope is from the south-
ern eggs. Only a short time ago a
million dozen eggs were taken out of
this state for shipment abroad and if
any congestion occurs on the railroads
which are supplying the eggs from
the southern states, there will be
trouble" said he. Il fear a shortage.
The cities are now dependent upon
cold storage eggs and so are many of
the smaller towns"
Mr.. Foust estimated that the de-
cline in eggs in storage in Pennsylva-
MIA during the quarter ending De-
cember 81 was the worst ever KNOWN
On September so there were 12,220,-
S57 dozens of eggs in storage, and
on January l, only 2,1775,992 dozens.
Philadelphia warehouses hold 1,011,-
$50 eggs in the shell and PSI, ,S39
pounds out of the shell and Pitts
burgh reported 236,S60 dozens and
124, 400 pounds.
r. Butter in storage dropped in the
last quarter of 1916 from 9,555,966
pounds to 5,069,830 pounds, Phila-
delphia holding on January /, $685.
900 pounds and Pittsburgh 541,149.
Poultry and game rose, the attractive
prices for chickens having evidently
caused big sales by farmers. On jan
uary l there were 4,135,311 pounds OF
poultry and 46,3S4 pounds of game In
storage, against 1,931,423 pounds OF
poultry at the end of September. A
year ago there were 2,305,000 pounds
of poultry in storage.
In the meat line the holdings in
storage on December 81 of caroasses
were 612,607 pounds, against 64,953
in September and 5SS,6S5 O. year ago
and of parts 1,074,3S7 pounds, against
!, 1,04S,45 TLe report on hogs showed
122,270 pounds in storage, against
$50, ,421 three months since.
Forty warehouses report eggs In
storage, thirty-nine butter, sixteen
fish, twenty-seven poultry and twen-
ty-two beef.

Court in Kansas City, Kan, by Lorne
Stoneberg and Edward Hook, who
filed habeas corpus proceedings to OBJ
tain their release from the Federal

fense, Judge Pollock took the matter

New York, Jan. 2O.-According to
latest advices, the date for the ma
tional amateur golf championship
tournament at the .Oakmont Country
Club will not be in June, as recent
rumor had it. The United States Golf
Association has been in communication
with Oakmont for the last few days
and it is now understood that the
Pittsburgh organization, because of the
pending clubhouse improvements, will
not be ready until late in the summer.
This makes it look as if the tourna-
ment will fall some time in August,
or possibly later.

AMATEUR BASEBALL PLANS

Toledo, o., Jan. 20. = The execu-

teur Baseball Federation met here
yesterday and received suggestions for
amendments to the constitution to be
voted on at the annual meeting of the
federation this afternoon.
The most important of these sug-
gestions have to do with the new
classification of the competing teams.
Legislation is contemplated barring
teams whose members are not bona
fide employees of commercial bodies or
industrial concerns; prohibiting play
ers receiving money for their services,
and making players ineligible who are
under contract to or on the reserve
list of national agreement teams prior
to August 1, 1917.

HOME FOR VETERAN PLAYERS

Chicago, Jan. 20. - Establishment
of a home for aged baseball players
is proposal that in all probability
will be submitted to club owners OF
the American and National Leagues,
B. b. Johnson, president of the Am.
erican League, announced last night.
Such a home could easily be estab-
lished and maintained" he said. TT
might be feasible to give part of
the worlds series receipts to such a
cause, and club owners probably
could be induced to contribute to the
fund. Several benevolent organiza-
tions have homes for the aged, and
think baseball players should have
one.'
The subject, President Johnson
said, has been discussed informally
by certain major league club owners,
but no action has been taken.

The Washington herald., 1917-05-14
MIR. Balfour to Stay?

A dispatch from London yesterday
stated that the British government is
considering keeping Mr.. Balfour here
as a Special commissioner" during
the remainder of the war.
A happier thought could not have
been conceived. Let US hope the
news is true. If there be any doubt
in London about the tremendous i'm
preston that Mr.. Balfour has made
upon the United States; if there be
any doubt about the splendid work
he has done in the interest of a per-
manent Anglo American entente,
that doubt should be completely ban
ished by the nature of the welcome
that the British foreign secretary
has received in New York.
If Great Britain can spare Mr.. Bal
four during the critical period just
ahead of the allied nations, Wash
ington will be delighted to have him
stay. We do not know that there is
any great practical work for him to
accomplish here; but the moral eff
feet of his presence, the spell of his
personality over the whole subject OF
our relations with Great Britain, will
be incalculable. If the decision were
left to Mr.. Balfour, himself, we have
no doubt that the path of his inclina-
ton, at least, would be to remain, al
though he may have some qualms
over his ability to stand the steady
strain of American hospitality.
The work of cooperation between
America and Great Britain is broad
ening SO rapidly, the scope of Amer
ican participation is so far exceeding
our conceptions of even two months
ago, that a permanent British COM
missioner in Washington-and per-
haps a permanent American commits
soner in London-may become i'm
perative. For the former post every
American will hope that Mr.. Balfour
be chosen.
