GOOD STORIES TOLD

American League umpires. once dis

Jack really meant 1t, too. George Hill
debrand. now a trusted official oper-
ating for Ban johnson. has always
maintained that an umpire is always
right; that is, since Hildebrand has
been umpiring. When he was a player
umpires detested him like the bubonic
plague because he was continually dis
putting their decisions.
The majority of the umpires have
honestly deluded themselves into think

CORN BREAD, FOOD OF
ANCESTORS, COMING BACK

Cornmeal Is destined to play q great
part in the winning of the war.
Corn bread. corn "pone," corn cakes,
corn mufins and hominy grits ana hom-
my boiled and fried are going to make
their appearance on tables where they
have never been before. There is going
to be no hardship in this for men and
women. They are going to receive an
education as to the manifold virtues Of
corn. It was the mainstay of the peo-
pie who set up the government of the
United States, and it is going to guard
tho nation against the dangers which
now threaten 1t.
Wheat has come to be considered as
about the only grain which Americans
ought to turn into bread. 1t has be-
come a fashion or a habit to make the
bread of the people out of wheat flour
instead OF cornmeal and the other i'm
portant grains; rye oats and barley
having generally been given over to
other uses than that Of human food.
Rice and buckwheat are even looked
on by the great masses of the Ameri-
can people as of doubtful value as food.
The Department of Agriculture has
rendered a report that the condition Of
the winter wheat crop is the poorest for
a long series of years. The latest fore
cast puts the country's winter wheat
yield at 266, 200, 900 bushels, the smallest
in thirteen years. There is to be no Of
fetal estimate of spring wheat until
July. The normal American consump-
tion with seed requirements is general
ly rated as something in excess of 6O0,-
100000 bushels. The greatest spring
wheat crop Of the United States was in
1915, when the total Of the crop was
352,000,000 bushels. The flve-year av-
erage from 1910 to 1914 Is $4,000, 900
bushels The estimated production this
year Of 266,000,000 bushels Of winter
wheat falls 116.ooo,oo0 bushels short Of
last years poor crop and 30S, ,O00, 900
bushels below that Of 1915, which was
"a bumper crop. 1t is 129,00O.0 900 BUSH
els below the average for the preced-
ing FIVE years.
It is said that the wheat requirements

BAD FORM TO TR|FlE
WITH WALLE SCHANG
Yankees Make Fun Of Catcher's
Mustache and He Wins Game
With Homer.

This is the story of a mustache-a
bit Of shredded wheat, upon which the
New York Yankees look with pro-
found respect.
1t all happened at the Polo Grounds
when Connie Mack led his made-over
misfts against the men of Bill DON
ovan for the first time this season.
but 1t Is still fresh in the memory Of
the Yankees, particularly Allen Rus
sell. boxman and sharpshooter.
The drapery in question was dis
covered adorning the mezzanine lip
Of one Wallie Schang. mitt artist. 1t
was grown in the balmy atmosphere
southern sunshine. it f1ourished and
looked out upon strange world.
Wallie Schang thought so well of it
probably because 1t gave him mill
tary appearance-that he lured It back
north and brought 1t along to the Polo
Grounds.
Wallie Goes to Bat.
As stated before. the Macks and the
Yankees were playing ball, and along
vans boys throwing out their chests
over 2 to 1 lead, Wallie and his mus
tache got the cue to enter.
Mr.. Allen Russell was pitching su-
Perb pc 9,b ball; He had been whizzing ,em
zip" But in that ninth inning
Stuffy McInnis got his bludgeon in the
path of one of Russell's slants and it
sailed into safety. Then came Bates.
and. like McInnis, he iambasted the pill
two-thirds populated. Wallie Schang
and his third eyebrow advanced to the
platter. Right then and there Mr..
Schang came in for q panning. The
Yanks kidded him numerically about
his consomme strainer. Mr.. Russell
was not one Of the least Of these. He
shot over a fast one nose high and
close in.
"Howdyuh like at one for q close
shaver he how1ed. Pretty nifty, huh?
BARRIERS walk out in Phillyf Here's an
other" and he unraveled his long
arm.
Then Came q Crash.
Then came a loud and resounding
crash.
It might have been another NUM-
tions plant going up; 1t might have
been one Of Uncle Samuers battling
ships at target practice. But it was
Wallie Schans's mustache quivered
defiantly as he dashed toward first
base. 1t twitched noticeably as he
turned second. and 1t bristled as he
rounded third and followed two run
ners home. The ball was bounding
around in the upper grandstand, hav-
ing the time of its young life. when
Wallie and his crop Of spinach pulled
up at the plate, for Wallie had hit a
home run; had turned defeat into VIC
tory.
Never again will the Yankees be SO
strainer under his proboscis. Never
again will they tempt the fates that
keep watch over three or four mis-
placed and wild hairs. It was too much.

Many Games Won.

Bert Ga1lia and Jim vaugha. we're
winners last year. Gallia won eighteen
games for Washington and Vaughn
grabbed seventeen victories for the
Cubs. while Fred Toney. iron man that
he is, won fourteen and lost seventeen
with Cincinnati. Bill Doak won twelve
games and lost eight and Dave Daven-
port, who was by no means in his best
shape last year. copped an even dozen
games and lost eleven with the Browns
But what a difference q run-getting
club would make in the averages Of
this staff in a season! Every one Of
them should be good for from eighteen
to twenty victories IL they were called
upon to pitch that many games. and
the manager who had stan like this
would be sure of sending in a reliable
hurler to the hill every day.
While 1t Is unfortunate in q way that
such pitchers must be tied down to
some Of the weaker offensive clubs. il
is a mighty good thing for base bali.
The weaker teams often upset a win
ming streak started by the stronger
clubs, and when they hook UP with
such stars as Walter johnson, Grover
Alexander, Babe Ruth. Guy Morton.
Slim Sallee. Ferdie Schupp or Reb Rus
sell there is generally a pretty mound
battle in store for the fans.

All Good Twirlers.

Every player named here has natural
pitching ability. Every one Of them
can give the best clubs in the big
leagues a battle on the mound and ali
OF them lose many close games be-
cause. as q rule. the teams they are
hind them.
There isn't manager in either big
league who wouldn't be proud of a
staff like the one named here, for al
though Jim Vaughn is the only south
paw, the rfghthanders all have class,
and they would be consistent winners
with a strong offensive team.
Bush and Mamaux are the brightest
stars in the bunch. The latter won a
total OF twenty-one games for the Pi-
rates last year. while Bush lost twenty
four games and won fifteen for the
Athletics. But put the Giants, Red Sox
or Tigers behind either of these twirl-
ers and they would win a great many
more games every year. They would
not drop SO many heart-breakers by
one or two run margins against in
ferior pitching, as they often do.

Save the Waste Paper

The Domestic Science association has done
praiseworthy work in Richmond 1t is cultiva-
ting field of service which too often is over
looked and neglected.
One of it's best and most efficient depart
ments is the Day Nursery. The particular pur-
pose of this charity has been explained at length
and is sufficiently well known to preclude the
necessity of calling attention to it again.
The Day Nursery is in need of money. Many
solicitations for financial donations have been
made in Richmond recently. Many citizens have
become weary for the present of the constant
appeals.
The Domestic Science association is not ask
ing for money, but is asking you to save your
old newspapers and magazines. The Boy Scouts
will call for them on July Is.
The price of paper is exorbitant. Junk deal
paying high prices for all kinds of dis
carded paper. The Domestic Science association
intends to make money for it's charity by CAPT.
talizing on a waste. It's allies are the Boy
Scouts.
Both the cause and the method of raising
funds are worthy of support Nine-tenths of the
families of the city do not save their paper and
magazines: the one-tenth that does can make the
donation without irnparing the family exche-
quer.
Here's hoping that the Boy Scouts are
swamped with paper and are forced to call on re-
serves.
