HENDRYX'S HOMERS
 HELPFUL ID TANKS
Sir Timothy Sends Ball Into
 BleaChers Twice in First Game

New York, June 21.-Yesterday
 was Home Run Day on the Polo
 Grounds for Timothy Hendryx, cor
 poral in tho Yankee infantry and for
 merly private in the Florida National Guard. Tim rammed two homers into the left field bleachers in the
 hrst half of a twin bill, and 1t was
 most fortunate for the Yankees that
 he set off these explosives. Twice
 these circuit clouts knotted the
 score and in the ninth inning Pipp
 and Nunamaker squeezed in the
 winning run. enabling the Gotham
 band to win by a score of to. 2.
 In the second game Timothy sub-
 sided. through the fly hawk Hooper
 pulled down one clout from his can-
 non which had . very homerunny
 appearance. As a consequences the
 worlds. champions were the lads who
 broke a tie in the ninth inning.

 Tim tested his range when he sent
 a crash into the bleachers which
 was foul by few feet. With Boston
 ahead to 0. Hendryx led of tho Now York half of the sixth by lining
 out a drive welt over tho bleacher fence. By the time Tim came to bat again in the eighth the champs of the universe again had taken the lead by a run, but once more tho bifnng Dixie Irishman smashed homer into the bleachers tying 1t up. This drive landed down near tho foul line, and the blond matched Sam Agnew argued % long and loudly that 1t was out of bounds that Bill Dineen be- came a trihe bored, not to say Tiled. and dismissed Samuel for the after noon.

WEEKLY REVIE w OF TRADE

New York. March 4.-Dun's Weekly
Review of trade tomorrow says:
Neither legitimate business nor spec
ulative markets have been disturbed by
the recent significant events in the for
eisn situation. In producing and distrIb-
Uttng channels, as in banking circles,
caution continues general and many in
terests are still waiting. but there is no
lack OF confidence which Is essential to
the economic welfare of the nation.
That activity has abated in some
branches in about all sections Is not sur
prising, in view of the unexampled rise
Cf prices and the limits to which the
buying movment was previously car
RED. and nearly everywhere, commit
ments for the far future are undertaken
with prudence. Yet in steel and iron
there is little haIting. either in respect
10 demand or prices. With more open
weather. less is heard OF delays in trans
rortation and the adjus' ment of the rail-
way labor controversy has removed an
Unsettling and retarding element. Diff
Guilty in obtaining raw material has not
l'cen eliminated, however. and manufac-
turing operations remain hindered, with
the shortage OF skilled hands an added
drawback. Costs of production are ris-
ing In many directions and naturally
have an important effect on prices in
distributing circles and the prevailing
tendency in retail lines is toward in
creased conservatism in purchasing.
Yet that consumption continues re-
lrarkahly large under the conditions is
evidenced by reports from the principal
Centers and bank clearings. ss.4 per cent
greater this week than last year at the
leading outside cities. reflect not only
the influence OF high prices but also
the magnitude of current transactions.
The Washington herald., 1917-03-24

New York. March 2.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Though streaked with evidences of con-
servatism as regards distant buying,
trade currents tend to run more freely
and certainly superabundance Of activity
reigns in most of the leading industries
Suspense incident to fears of a strike
on the railways has been lefted and while
the imminence of war with Germany
prompts some interests to mark time
and others still to be chary about grant,
ing credits, there Is. nevertheless, the
ever-present fear Of a shortage of goods
which, in turn, Is reflected in what might
be termed safety buying and, of course,
the preparations of our government for
eventualities has undeniably stimulated
lines that provide war supplies.
Thus the net result Of international
conditions has been further animation,
a pyramiding. as 1t were. of already
heavy business, In the face of which
conservatism has been almost wholly
overshadowed.. Indeed, buying of gem
eral lines for nearby use Is invested with
considerable snap. and while retail deal
ers In sections where cold weather has
hung on are inclined to buy in a spartng
way.
OF course, country trade is hampered
BY poor roads as well as by fam work,
but this situation is the usual seasonal
one 1t has been intimated that distant
buying Of staples proceeds under check
retns, but even this aspect OF things is
taking on an emproved appearance pre-
sumably because hopes Of much lower
prices have been almost abandoned and
also because 1t is recognized that 1t is
better to get orders booked than to
run the risk of going without goods
at later date.

CAMPFIRE GIRLS PLAN
TO Aid nation in WAR
Will Stay at Home and Do Work Of
Absent Ones.

During the present international crisis
the Camp Fire Girls Of Washington are
busy planning how they can best serve
the country in case Of war.
Someone must stay home and attend
to the work left behind by members Of
other organizations, such as the Red
Cross. and other patriotic organizations
which contemplate active participation in
the event OF hostilities. This Is what the
Camp Fire Girls of this city are going
to do They will constitute an important
branch Of the home guard. their leaders
say.
Miss Ruth Waters Cole. OF winona
Camp, says that all Camp Fire Girls Of
this city have already planned their ac-
tivities in case of war. The girls realize
that the youngsters left behind by SOL
dier and sailor fathers might need help,
and they promise to be right on the job
when it comes to scientific baby feeding
and nursing
There are quite a number Of expert
bandage makers among the Camp Fire
Girls. However, their principle activity
will be to chase away an army of
''glooms'' and spread sunshine.

PAPER Price FIXERS
BESET BY TROUBLES
Federal Trade Body Has Difficult Tn.
dertakins On 1t. Hands.

The Federal Trade Commission is run
ming into shoal waters in its efforts to
bring newspaper publishers and manufac-
turers Of newsprint paper into one happy
family where there will be no sQuabbling
over prices and quantities.
The Commission Is actively seeking for
more paper manufacturers to sign the
agreement to sell news print paper at
la cents q pound-the price named as
reasonable by the Commission-and for
more newspaper publishers to agree to
relinquish 5 per cent a month of their
contract supplies of paper in order that
small publishers without contracts may
be supplied.
Considerable contumacy is developing
on both sides and the Commission has
a difficult task on its hands to accom-
modate the differences of the producing
and consuming sides Of this paper trade.
Big publishers with good supplies under
contract fear that II they rehnquish
the desired percentage they will be short.
Manufacturers who are doing nicely in
their business dislike to submit to d
price fixed by a government body. How
ever, the Commission is sanguine that
the plan will work out successfully.

HAMPERS RECRUITING
Officers Expect Rush to Colors in Case
of Hostilties,

Because the average man wants q little
bit Of adventure mixed with his patriot
ism. recruiting at the Ninth street and
Pennsylvania avenue station Of the navy,
has not been as brisk as that which Ia
expected to follow an actual declaration
Of war.
Most men who enter the navy want to
| see active service" say the recruiting Of
ficers, "and the speciad order authorizing
service during time of war will find the
recruiting officers working overtime to
enlist new sailors for the United States
sinsuiariy enough, It IL the women who
are now showing the patriotic spirit.
Fifteen women inquired how they might
enter the naval reserve for women at the
Ninth street ofiice yesterday. Three OF
these women came to the ONCE In auto
mobiles and were apparently Of the
society class" The others were women
In moderate stations in life, but all were
anxious to do what they could to help the
country in a practical way in the i'm
pending crisis. They were referred to the
old Naval Hospital between Ninth and
Tenth streets on Pennsylvania avenue
| southeast and two passed the physical
examination, met the other requirements
and were formally sworn into the reserve.

northwest.
Mrs. Cissei will be assigned . third
class yeoman and work in the ofiice Of
supplies and accounts of the Navy De-
partment. Miss Saunders will have the
Same rating and be employed in the Dis
bursting Office
There were FIVE men applicants at the
Ninth street office yesterday and one
was accepted. Six men applied for infor-
nation as to enlistment routine and are
expected to return later for examination.
The slowness in recruiting Is said to
be due to the fact that the pnen are not
keen for a prolonged seige without active
service, such as the Guardsmen expe-
rienced on the Mexican border.
Let them once see that there Is a pos
sibility for action and there will be plenty
of men for the navy" say the officials.
Those enlisting now serve the full term,
but in the event of war a special en-
listment covering the period Of actual
hostilities will be permitted.
The announced intention OF Secretary
of the Navy Daniels to increase the pay
OF enlisted men Is also expected to stimu-
late recruiting.
Last week twelve candidates were ac-
cepted, which is much better than the
average week and the oficisls expected
this number to be materially increased
within the next fortnight.

Higher Freight RATES
Petition OF RAILWAYS
File Brief With Commission for In
creased Tariffs.

On behalf of the railroads in ofncial
classification territory, covering the re-
gion east OF the Mississippi River and
north of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers. a
petition was filed yesterday afternoon
with the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion intended to pave the way for a nat
percentage increase in freight rates, to
become operative at the earliest possible
date.
With this end in view. the Interstate
Commerce Commission is asked by the
carriers to amend its rules so as to per-
NIT the application for advanced rates to
be made by simple amendments to exist
Ing tariffs.
Enormous decreases in net operating
Income" is the reason set forth in the
petition as making a general advance in
freight rates imperative. This condi-
ton Is attributed to large increases in
wages, cost OF fuel coal. and the cost of
other material and supplies and equip
ment. and in taxes: and to increased cost
of capital"
Strengthening the position Of the rail-
roads. 1t Is declared in the petition, is
absolutely essential to the welfare OF the
nation, not only for commercial reasons.
but to meet the needs Of the national de-
Tense. which require that the transpor-
tation machine shall be as efficient as Is
humanity possible" The petition adds:
That cannot be done under the present
revenues and rates OF the carriers"
Bituminous coal, coke and ore, It is
announced. will not be included in the
proposed nat increases. Rates on these
commodities. 1t 10 set forth, can be dealt
with in accordance with the present rules.
The petition was filed by George Stuart
Patterson, general solicitor of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company; Clyde
Brown, general solicitor of the New York
Central Lines; George F. BrownelI VICE
president and general solicitor of the
Erie Railroad, and Hugh l. Bond, jr.,
