CUB CATCHERS WEAK - DOYLE
TO START AT SECOND BASE
BY Mark Shields


There is something of a chuckIe in
the news that jim Archer has
signed a contract to catch for the
Cubs during the coming season.
Some weeks ago, when Archer was
kicking on a reduction in his stipend,
a statement came from the Cub Of
fees to the effect that Jim wasn't
any great shucks as a catcher in
1916, was out of the game a great
portion Of the time, and was more
of a liability than an asset to the
team.
1t was, in effect, stated that the
team would be just as well off with
out him in 1917. Some other re-
marks were made that carried a sting
that wasn't called for. Evidently
some one explained how UndiplO-
matte that statement was, in view of
the high esteem in which Archer
was held by Cub fans, and in subse-
qUent interviews an effort was made
to take the sting out Of the first mis-
guided remarks. The first statement
probably wasn't prepared by Pres.
Weeghman at all, but came from a
source in his Office.
At any rate, Archer comes Back
now. His salary for the coming sea-
son isn't known and it concerns only
jim and his boss. But Jim is entitled
to a loud gUffaw when he thinks of
what they said of him few weeks
ago.
But there is another and very seri-
Gus side to the question. It con-
Germs the strength of the Cub catch
ing staff. The signing of Archer, after
the declaration that he was through,
seems a confession that Wilson, FL
lott and Dillhoeffer have not been
impressive on the training trip and
that Mitchell is in dire need of the
services of another receiver, even
though he is a veteran, who may be
out of the came through injuries.

er S most ardent admirers, that ne IS
not the same squat-throw dead shot
of two or three years ago. Jim has
slowed up and his pegs to second
base lack their old snap and accu-
racy.
Even so, he is needed. DiIIhoefer
should hit we'll, but reports from the
front are to the effect that his arm is
still bad and his throwing to bases
is not Of big league 'caliber. Elliott is
a good average baIlplayer, energetic
and aggressive in the game, but he
will never be a star. And Wilson
must take the dust Of several catch
ers in the Tener organization.
When the club started on its train
ing trip there were several opinions
that the real test would come in the
ability of the backstOps. Strength
there has come to mean a lot in win
ming ball games. Even the gIamor of
a spring training trip could not give
reports about the candidates the
proper glow, and now, with the sign
ing Of Archer, we get a confession
or, at least, fear-that the receiV-
eTs would not hold up to major class.
They may come, of course. Elliott
and DillhOefer are young and have
not the responsibility and experience
to should such heavy task. In the
meantime an old head is needed.
Larry'DoyIe will be at second base
in the opening game for the Cubs
next Wednesday on the North Side.
That became an assured fact yester-
day when he played the bag against
Kansas City and went through the
entire game, Workman being sta
toned at short. Deal and Safer made
up the remainder of the infeld, and
Flack, Williams and WOlter were the
OUtpOsts. The only possible change
in the alignment is the substitution
of Mann for Flack.
Phil Douglass went the route and
allowed four hits. That is a commen-

THE RAILROAD MENU.

Like people, railroads are su fer
ing from the increased cost O. liv-
ing.
A heavy Mallet locomotive cos S
nearly twice as much as two years
ago, same as steers and sugar.
The increase in cost of such a 10
connective would buy an 160- acre
farm at $125 an acre.
In addition it would build a S.
600 residence on tbs place and buy
$500 worth of implements.
Besides it would buy 25 dairy COWS
at SIS each, 500 worth of teams
and wagons, a $500 automobile and
leave s15G for gasoline.
All this represents only the in
CREASE in cost o. enc locomotive and
cars and other mate rial have gone
up the same.
We complain at the increased cost
of living due to advances in two
dozen articles necessary to life.
But on the railroad bill o. fare
are eighty-five time as many ar
ticles and all have gone up the
same.
The things we consume, like bread,
butter, mSat and potatoes, have
gone up fifty per cent or mora.
This railroads consume copper, steel
iron, oil and lumber that have gone
up from 100 to 500 per cent.
Labor cost has advanced on the
railroads, and while the individual
can use cheaper foods, the rail-
road has fixed diet.

Oyster Conditions Generally Reported
As Very Good.

Lieut.. William H. Killian, of the
State Conservation Commission, re-
turned yesterday. after a ten-day
trip over the oyster territory in the
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.
He reports the oyster outlook exceed
ingly good That. while there has
not been a great catch of young oys-
ters during the past summer, he finds
that the hivalves on the various beds
in particularly good condition, and
predicts that Maryland oystermen
during this season Will receive more
per bushel for their catch than over
before known. provided, however, Mr.
Killian added, there is strict enforce
ment of the Gull law, and the CO.
operation of those engaged in the oys-
ter business.
He has instructed each of the dep
uty commanders in the service of the
State to enforce the Gull law, and he
will issue circular letter to those
engaged in the catching of oysters,
urging them to cooperation.
Lieutenant Killian has been noti-
fed by the commanding officer of the
Fifth naval district that a signal off,
GERS from the United States naval
forces will be assigned to the Chesa-
peake Bay fleet to instruct the men
in the patrol service in signal duties.

MIDDIES PREPARING FOR
MARYLAND STATE GAME
Northeast Storm Interrupts TOday's
Program, But They Are Undaunted
Over Saturdays Loss.

With the reverse which they suffer
ed at the hands of the University OF
West Virginia last Saturday, when
they went down to defeat by a score
of to 0, the Navy football players
have started to point themselves for
the game with the eleven of Maryland
State College, of College Park, Md,
on the coming Saturday The Col
legians. however. are not as strong as
they were last season, and it it not
expected they will give much trouble
to the Middies.
The sailor lads got in some good
practice yesterday afternoon. Not so
today, however, owing to the north
east storm that set in last night an
brought a plentiful supply of rain.
AS a result, the gridiron of Farragut
Field is like a mire; anything but con-
ducive to football. The defeat by the
West Virginias has not discouraged
the embryo Admirals and they are
building hopes of trimming the Mary
land State boys by comfortable
score Thus far, the Middies have not
suffered seriously by injuries, although
Perry, big fellow who played in the
backfield last season, and now looks
to be conner at guard or tackle, has
been out of the game for the past week
with a bad ankle, but he will prob
ably be available for play in the
game against Maryland State

nation IS OBSERVING
"DEEFLESS' TUESDAY
But Occasion Was Overlooked By
The Hotels Here.
MEANS A BIG SAVING
Estimated That a Saving Of About IL
Per Cent. In Consumption For
Day VIII Result.

This is "Beef1ess Tuesday" and
that article of food was expected to
be conspicuous by its absence on the
menus of the hotels, and restaurants.
and also in private families. in line
with the nationwide move for the
conservation of food. Neither of the
local hotels, however, is observing the
slogan, judging by the items on their
menu cards, and the same was true
with the several lunch rooms about
the city. 1t is expected, however,
that all hands will fall in line and get
the "beefless'' habit.
The proprietor of one of the lead
ing hotels of the city said this morn
ing that he entirely overlooked the
matter due to the pressure of other
business affairs, but that he expected
to adopt the slogan in the future In
many of the private families, how
ever. not only beef but all other
meats were placed in the discard for
the day.

Mems Association, held last week, it

day each week until further orders,
and today is the first time that beef is
supposed to have been taken off the
menus.
Beefless Tuesdays will bring about
a saving of about $4,000 worth of
beef each month in 10 of the largest
hotels in the big cities. The day is
also being observed throughout the
United States, and this will mean
saving of about II per cent of the beet
consumed. 1t is hard to estimate just
what this will amount to, but it will
save thousands of pounds of beef for
the use of the government and also
keep the price down for the consum-
ers.
On each of the menus in the hotels
throughout the country should be
printed the following:
"The United States Food Admins
tration makes an appeal to the pa
triotism of the people of our country
and asks cooperation in discourage
ing the use of beef on Tuesday
Therefore, we do not offer our pa
irons beef in any form on the menu
