Tom Kenney will pitch for

Alva Gipe or Orvial Eley will
pitch for Tacoma, with
Walt Genin catching.
Attendance at ball games

HEINE GROH ONE OF
GREATEST PLAYERS

the fact that the diminutive Gin
cinnatian is one of the really great
third basemen of the game.
There are some who would
rank Weaver, Gardner, Baker and
zimmerman out ahead of him, but
If they are the margin is slight.
This year Groh has been batting
right around 800. He was the
first National league player to
make 100 hits and his base steal
ing average does not rank much
behind that of the best pilferers in
the league.
AS a fielder there are few who
rank ahead of Groh at the hot
corner.
Heine may not be as spectacular
as some other big league third
basemen, but he gets the results
which win ball games.

A few weeks ago when Ty Cobb
was trying to break his own
record of hitting safely in 40
consecutive games, the eyes of
baseball were upon him.
A few days ago a National
league player, not generally cred
tied with being a great hitter, per-
formed batting feat, which for
him was as great as Cobb's hitting
in 35 consecutive games.
The player was Heine Groh of
the Reds, who batted safely in 23
consecutive games before being
stopped in the last game of a
double-header against Boston.
The hitting was the more remark
able as most of it was accom-
plished during the Reds slump
which volplaned them from second
into fourth place.
All of which draws attention to

in staging this spectacular film,
easily the biggest in which Little
Mary has ever been shown. Great
battle scenes stir the blood; the
torpedoing of monster liner is
so realistically done thta one can
almost hear the screams of the
drowning passengers.
The story deals with the adven-
lures of an American girl who
falls into the hands of the Ger
mans. How she is saved by a
young Prussian who turns against
the kaiser for her sake forms an
absorbing romance.

not often found on circus lots, and

TO FEED FRANCE
u. S. Merchantmen Will Be
Used to Supply Allies.

The American merchant marine will be
used to supply the nations allies with
food, clothing. and munitions.
Federal shipping authorities last night
agreed that practically the whole strength
of American shipping at this time will
be diverted to carry supplies to France.
where the need is greatest and where
the chief fighting is going on.
Plans for the diversion Of American
merchant ships to the France-American
trade were discussed at a conference be-
tween Ambassador Jusserand, of France,
and Chairman William Denman, of the
Shipping Board
While no announcement was forthcom-
ing as to the details of the plan, it was
plain from the Ambassadors brief COM
ment later that he was elated over the
assurance of quick and unstinted aid of
American shipping interests.
Details as to the number of ships and
what class of ships will be so diverted
were in course of preparation, but it
was evident that the energies of gov
ernment heads will be bent to give
promptly and in greatest measure the
help Francesnow sorely needs to strength
en- her spring campaigns along all fronts.
American merchant shtpping's vital part
In the plan to fill up Frances depleted
stocks of war supplies were discussed
by the President at conference with
Chairman Denman. Thsy also discussed
plans already projected by the Shipping
Board for the immediate construction of
large fleet of small but speedy wooden
ships to be used in running Germany's
submarine blockade
The President, it is said. was given
assurances that the shipping boards
program is being speedily pushed for
ward and was informed that at least
hundred representative shipbuilding
concerns have agreed to give the ship
ping boards orders precedence over all
others, excepting of course those for
navy account.

WAR HITS SOCIETY
Official Entertaining to Be
Curtailed During War.

Washington society got its first real
taste Of the horrors Of war yesterday.
In a statement issued by Mrs. Robert
Lansing. wife of the Secretary of State,
the women Of America were urged to
eliminate extravaganza in food, drink
and clothes and to come to a basis of
war economy without delay.
Although the statement was issued by
Mrs. Lansing, it was understood to have
been given out with the sanction of Mrs.
Wilson, wife of the President and with
the backing OF the entire Cabinet circle
OF women. The effect of the appeal IL
was said last night. would be to COM
pletely ban further social lavishness in
Washington. Philadelphia. New York
and other big social centers OF America
during the war;
The statement OF Mrs. Lansing indi-
Gated that hereafter, state dinners ON the
usual lavish scale will be frowned upon
by the White House and the Cabinet
Additionally, extravagant expenditures
for gowns also will be considered de trop,
and 1t was even hinted that Washington
PROBABLY would anticipate the effective
date of prohibition ia great extent.
Social circles 'of the Capital were agog
over the statement last night. which
created a sensation. Social wiseacres
undertook to point out the loss of bril-
lance that would be almost, sure to at
tend state affairs next winter when
Washington probably will be officially in
mourning, unless the war is terminated
before that time. That the appeal was
aimed directly at American social lead
ers was indicated by the fact that this
class alone, through ability to ignore high
living costs, had been guilty of extrava-
gance during the past few years.
In lining American society up for war
economy, Mrs. Wilson has merely fol-
lowed in the lead OF British social usage,
which has frowned upon all sorts of ex-
travagance in food and dress, ever since
early in the present war
Another advantage of the adoption of
greater economy in entertaining, it was
pointed out, would result from the fact
that women of the country would have
more time to devote to the study of nurs-
ing. and to the pursuit of work which
would be Of value to the nation.
