NeWs From the World Of Sport
BOYNToN OF WILLIAMS rs STAR
ON EASTERN GRIDS THIS FALL

Williamstown, Mass, Nov. S.-Ben-
Jamin Boynton, quarterback on the
fast Williams eleven, is regarded as
one of the most brilliant young stars
on eastern grfdirons this fall. Boynton
halls from Houston, Tex, where they
appear to raise them stout and speedy.
In the recent game with Colum bia,
Boynton's forward passing, line
plunging and blocking of Columbia
passes and punts were features of the
affair. While 1t can't be said that he
won the game alone he came nearer
doing 1t than anyone else present. And
what Ted Coy was to Yale, Jim
Thorpe to the Carlisle Indians, Oil
plant to the Army, Boynton is to Will
liams. -.
Boynton can heave forward passes
with a speed and accuracy unsur-
passed, and though not the heaviest
man on the team he can rip holes in
the adversaries' line in a way that Is
making him famous. In the games he
has had part in so far this season he
has shown a grand ability to be all
over the field at once, darting out of
the pile to, bring a runner low at the
most opportune moments
Boynton is the rare star who shows
strength as well as speed and who is
as strong on defense as in attack. He
is never far from the ball and has
done much to correct the chief fault
of his teammates, a lack of the proper
alertness in following the ball at all
times. Williams showing this season
may largely be credited to the speed
and punch of this brilliant young
quarterback a ....

BALL CHANGES
Professional End of Ma

vised, Belief
(Rv Asshciated Press.N

New York, Nov. s.-Baseball mag
mates, players and followers of the
game in general, are almost unani-
nous in expression of the opinion
witness important changes in the
methods and arrangements governing
the professional end of the national
sport. 1t appears certain that out of
the mass of suggested and proposed
changes radical certain developments
will occur relative to the conduct OF
the business end of the game during
the duration of the war at least
Both major ana minor league mag
mates will discuss and consider num-
erous suggestions looking toward i'm
provement OF conditions existing at
the present time during the coming
annual meetings. While no hasty acz
tion will be taken, IL is considered
likely that several innovations both in
combination and conduct of the sport
will be adopted before the season of
1918 is reached. Owing to the diner
ence of opinion on these points among
the various club owners, 1t is difficult
to name the proposals which may
eventually be enacted in baseball law
but there has been no dearth of these
both from official and unofficial
sources. tsiy 4
4 Among the plans advanced are the
following: Shorter season and sched-
ule in the major leagues, coupled with
a suggestion to start the world ser
les several weeks earlier than has
been the case in recent years; curtail-
ment of the number of players now
permitted to each cub and a reduc-
ton of the present salaries; the shift
ing of one or more club franchises to
new and more profitable fields of pa
tronage; the elimination of long and
expensive southern training trips; re-
ARRANGEMENT of schedules with the
idea of reducing the large annual
TRANSPORTATION bills; readjustment or
combination of minor league circuits
in order to provtae more attractive
and lucrative play.
1t is exceedingly doubtful II all OF
these suggestions are adopted, but It
is equally certain that some Will ma
their way into the codes or agree
ments of the league since those in
charge realize that baseball, like all
other sports, is confronted by condt-
tions which are far from normal. An
example of these conditions can be
cited in the draft problem which con-
fronts the magnates. A number OF
major and minor league players Will
probably be lost to the game in this
manner before the spring practice be
gins and their places must be f1lled.
1t is expected that the big league
clubs will draw upon the minors for
wartime substitutes. If this is done
both the quality and quantity of play
NAV decrease on certain circuits.
Viewed from any angle, the position
of the baseball magnate cannot be
Compared to the proverbial~ bed OF
roses at this time.

Both elevens are ready for battle,

Both said they looked for a hard

MOOrhead Is Crippled.
The Moorhead steam is crippled by

not only those pertaining to military
and naval operations, but also the
financial, commercial, economic and
other phases of the present situation,
which are OF vital importance to the
successful prosecution of. the war.
Aim Is CO. Operation. -s
There will undoubtedly be an eff
fort to avoid any conflict OF interest
among the participants, and there
is every reason to anticipate that
the result will be fuller cooperation
and consequently a much higher
efficiency and more vigorous
prosecution Of the war.
THE United States in the en-
ployment of its man power and ma
terial resources desires to use them
to the greatest advantage against
Germany. 1t has been no easy prob
lem to determine how they can be
used NOSE effectively, since the inde-
pendent presentation of requirements
by the allied governments has been
OF each governments appreciation Of
its own wants, which are naturally
given greater Importance than the
wants of other governments. BY a
general survey Of the whole situation
and a free discussion of the needs
of all, the approaching conference
will undoubtedly be able to give the
demands of the several governments
their true perspective and proper
place in the general plans for the
conduct OF the war o."
Although the resources of this
country are vast and although there
is every purpose to devote them all,
If need be, to winning the war, they
are not without limit. But even IL
they were greater, they should all
be used to the highest advantage In
attaining the supreme object for
which we are fighting. This can
only be done by a full and frank
discussion OF the plans and needs OF
the various belligerents. 1t Is the
earnest wish of this government to
employ its military and naval forces
and its resources and energy where
they will give the greatest return In
advancing the common cause. The
exchange of views which will take
place at the conference, and the con-
illusions which will be reached, will
be of the highest value in preventing
waste Of energy and in bringing into
harmony the activities Of the nations
which have been unavoidably acting
in a measure independently.
"In looking forward to the assemb-
ling of the conference, it cannot be
too strongly emphasized that it is a
war conference and nothing else,
devoted to devising ways and means
to intensity the efforts of the
beIIigerents against Germany by
complete cooperation under a gen.
eraI plan and thus bring the con-
flict to a speedy and satisfactory
conclusion"

(By Assooiated Press.l

Cleveland, O., Nov. S.--As wartime
measure, the American league probao-
ly will cut it's player limit to twenty
or tWenty-one men next season, &C
cordins to James c. Dunn, president
of the Cleveland club. The question
will be settled at the annual meeting
Of the league to be held, in Chicago
the latter part of this month.
Dunn believes that all of the clubs
are carrying too many pitchers ana
that each team can reduce its roster
without impairing its strength. Six
pitchers are SUFFICIENT for any major
league club, he believes, providing the
six are willing to work and keep IN

Many Textbooks Objectionable.
More than half the textbooks ex-
Hmined contained one or more OBJ
3ectionable feature, most often in the
torn Of pictures, insignia, songs or
poems, the report states. The COM
mittee declined to condemn such
elimination Of numerous passages,
pictures, songs and poems. 1t recon-
mended also that boards of educa-
ton, superintendents and super
visors be warned to exercise dill
gent caution in scrutinizing all
books used, and the method of in
struction, pointing out that the
text is sometimes less dangerous
than the attitude Of the teacher.

BIGGER DEMAND
FOR SUPPLIES
BRINGS CHANGE
Sub-chairmen Named To
Handle Various Angles
Of Moorhead Work

In an effort to keep apace with the
constantly increasing demands for
the output Of the Red Cross workers,
President Aasgaard today divided
the duties of the committee on com
forts of fighting mem, now in charge
of Mrs. A. H. Costain. AS hereto
fore, Mrs. Costain will be the director
of this work. but there will be three
sub chairmen who will be responsible
to her. Mrs. j, A. Seaver will have
supervision of the knitting of socks5
Mrs. T. /. Lewis, the knitting of
sweaters, and Mrs. julius Aske, the
comfort kits.
The next shipment Of knitted
goods from the Moorhead chapter
will be sent out Nov. Is. 1t is urged
that all persons working in this de-
partment, complete as many pieces as
possible before that date that the
shipment may be a large one.
An appeal has just been received
from the national director that the
output of socks and sweaters be
greatly increased. II persons now
how some are working and sacri-
ficing that this appeal might be met,
there would be a generous response
from many not now assisting in the
work.
The rooms in the postofice build
ing are open every afternoon from
2:30 to $3.50. The following persons
are in charge: Monday, Mrs. ChaS
S. Marden; Tuesday, Mrs. ]. A.
SeaVer; Wednesday, Mrs. Howard
Moody; Thursday. Mrs. H. WIKI;
Friday, Mrs. o. E. Malvey; Saturday,
Mrs. w. B. Auxer.
The knitting class is held every
Friday evening at 1880 in the Red
Cross rooms. Instruction is given
by Mrs. Seaver. Mrs. Grasse and
Mrs. Lewis.
Mrs. ]. A. Seaver is the director of
the county branches in knitting OF all
kinds and she is prepared to give any
assistance desired in this direction.
Again, an effort has been made to
discredit the splendid work Of the
Red Cross, the story thiG&ime COM
ing nearer home. 1t is reported that
Mrs. Blanchard received one of the
notes announcing the purchase of
socks made by her. 1t need only be
said in this connection that Mrs.
Blanchard has not at any time COM
pleted a pair Of socks for the Red
Cross. High minded men and wo-
men will ignore all such reports.
