MeatIess and Wheatless Days.

One meatless and one wheatless day
each week for the citizens OF Nebraska
is part of the conservation program
outlined by Food Administrators Watt
les In a recent letter to Governor Ne
vile. The food administrator urges
the governor to issue a proclamation
asking that the people throughout the
state of Nebraska refrain from eating
meat on meatless days and wheat on
wheatless days.
Mr.. Wattles has computed the saw
ing in bread that might be effected by
such q plan. He estimates that II each
person In the nation would save a
single n OF bread. or one-sixteenth
OF a loaf each day, the amount Of this
saving in round numbers would be
$50, 900. 900 bushels of wheat per year.
Applied to Nebraska 1t means that
the 100000 inhabitants would make
q lei annual saving Of ATE, 1000 bushels.
In his letter to the governor, Mr..
Wattles states that unless such saving
Is effected there will be great suffering
this winter among soldiers and fami-
lies OF the allies and perhaps among
the United States soldiers.

DE COMBAT TO RELINQUISH CROWN TO J. KILL

With Passing of the Great Honus Eight Sue
cessors Stand Out Prominently and 1t Is
Case of Taking Your Pick
By GRANTLAND RICE

COME one, a day or two ago, was dis
- cussing the question Of Hans Wagner's
successor.
The King has abdicated--has passed on
out---and so far the throne is still vacant.
In our hazy opinion this matter OF award
ing the 1917 title--King of Shortstops-is
the toughest assignment in sport
There are two or three first basemen who
loom above the mass--two or three second
basemen such as Collins Herzog and
Barry--and two or three third basemen--
such as Baker and Gardner.
But when the argument begins to bubble
and pop around shortstop, the matted tan
gle grows apace.
Who Is He?
Expert shortstoppng isn't matter of
one or two men, Around this job more
stars are buzzing than any other position
In the game may carry. There are six
teen major league shortstops-all told. or
this number at least eight are stars. No
other position can boast of so per cent of
stardom The catchers can't-the pitchers
cant-and neither can the outfelders, where
average big league play predominates.
But take a brief slant at the shortstop
array:
Maranville--Boston Nationals.
Peckinpaugh-New York Americans.
Fletcher-New York Nationals.
Scott-BostOn Americans.
Chapman-CleveIand Americans.
Observation-Disclosures Nationals.
Bush--Detroit Americans.
HOrnsby--St. Louis Nationals.
