URGES BROAD patriotism.


The need Of a broader, higher and
more thorough system Of Sunday School
teaching was emphasized by Rev. Will

New York City. speaking last night at
Epiphany Parish Hall, 1877 @ street
northwest, before the Sunday School
Institute Diocese of Washington.
Something more than mere patriotism
is needed in these days." said the pas

mixed with strong radical UNCONVENTIONAL
lines" The speaker also stated that
there was a great need Of teaching a
child the Bible in such a manner that
future education would not break down

warning nations which have been sup
plying this country with wool, has
fallen off to such an extent that it is
difficult to buy wool abroad.
Although it is not generally known,
census figures show that the average
sheep has increased in value over forty
per cent in the last year. On January
1, 1916, the average value of a sheep
in this country was $5.17. On January
1, 1917, the average value of sheep
had scared to STA. Sheep values are
still on the jump, and it is not known
how far they will go. Live sheep are
bringing from twelve to thirteen cents
a pound, and wool of good quality is
selling for over fifty cents pound.
AS food training camp in the vol
untary service of the government, the
fair is attempting to assist in over
coming this crisis by inducing leading
breeders of sheep to bring their finest
animals for private sale to farmers in
this territory. A special appeal has
been issued to local breeders. Sheep
specialists believe that sheep can be
grown at big profit in this part of
the country, and every attempt will
be made by the fair to induce local
farmers to purchase breeding stock.
The Department of Agriculture at
washington, mindful of the need for
more sheep, approves of the action
of the fair.

CAS- nearly as can be found" says a
prominent official Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, "our wheat
crop will hardly exceed 600,000,000
bushels, practically all of which will
be needed at home unless some sub
stitutes for wheat flour are used. 1t
emphasizes the necessity for strict
economy, if we are to furnish Great
Britain and France with any wheat at
all.
Several ways of substituting other
foods Of fresh and canned vegetables
for ten pounds of the ITO pounds of
meat which are eaten by the average
person in this country each year is
one means of releasing about 100000
900 bushels Of grain for export. The
1,000,000,000 pounds of meat saved by
this substitution requires about that
amount of grain il it's production.
Again, corn, rye and barley flour
must be substituted for wheat flour
whenever possible. Bread made from
wheat flour, blended with corn, rye
and barley flour, is very palatable and
fully as nutritious and it's use will be
encouraged everywhere. In fact, this
substitution and others will not render
it difficult for us to set aside 100000
900 bushels of wheat for Great Britain
and France until another year, when it
will be possible to increase our acre.

STRONG MINOR LEAGUE CLUB
Umpire Frank Connolly Praises Jack
Hendricks for Way He Has Built
Up Indian Team.

Frank Connolly, until recently an
empire In the American association,
and good one, too, said the other day
that the Indianapolis Indians, Jack
Hendricks entries in the A. A. pen
nant race, are one Of the strongest
minor league clubs ever got together.
Hendricks has built the club up
himself" said Connolly, "and in three
years he has got a bunch of play
ers together who look like sure pen
nant winners in the league this year.
Only one member of the club, Reilley.
an outfielder, remains of the aggre-
cation Hendricks inherited when he
went to the Indiana capital with
Jimmy McGill.
''The pitching staff Of the Indian
apolis club is it's strongest point. Fill
1ingim, a youngster, is one of the best
pitchers I've seen in many a day.
Gene Dale, Rex Dawson, Jake North
rup, Try Kantlehner and Clint Royce
make up the staff.
'The A. A. is faster this year than
it has ever been before. There are
more good clubs in the league, and
1t is too bad there must be trouble
between the league president and his
club owners. The way look at it,
wrangiing takes much OF the color out

Russell Ford.

York at $4,000, Big Ed got another pal
and battery mate in Ray Heating.
Sweeney taught Heating the emery ball
trick. The secret was too good for
Heating to keep all to himself. They
do say Ray told every pitcher he met.
1t wasn't secret at all very long, and
the first victim exposed was none other
than Heating himself. Eddie Collins
had Heating unmasked before Sat.
urday crowd at the Polo grounds.
The emery ball Is barred in the ma
jor leagues. Anyone using it will be
subjected to severe discipline. Alert
as all ball players are, no trace of the
evil has been disclosed. 1t does seem
in these days of slow games that the
players are allowed too great leeway
in looking for the emery ball. They
often try to alibi themselves with just
such tricks as these.

CBy JACK VEIOCK,

rnternationai News Sports Editor.)
Two young pitchers who are earn
ing their cakes in the big leagues this
season show promise GO putting up rec
ords before they 0ut;ire their useful
ness on the rubber that will give them
place in that select set which in
cludes only the greatest siabmen of
the game.
One of these two youngsters is
Ferdinand "Stubblefeld" Schupp, the
brilliant young southpaw of the
Giants. The other is Stanley Cove
leskie, the sensation Of the Cleveland
Indians.
Schupp is perhaps the most remark
able Of the pair, because he is a
southpaw, and as rule the south
paws have tough time when they
turn their steps toward the pitching
hall of fame.
McGraw has kept his weather eye
on the work of young Mr.. Schupp for
five years. He has always maintained
that Schupp had the makings of a
wonderful pitcher, but though Ferdie
failed to show him anything sensation
nj In the pitching line until last fall
he chung to him, and the season of
1917 has so far proved that McGraw
knew what he was about.
Schupp Is in his twenty-fifth year,
and he is without a doubt the best
sOuthpaw pitcher in the National
league. He is considered by many to
be equally as good as Ruth and Leon

PLAYERS NOT GIVEN PASSES
Customary Little Bits of Pasteboard
Conspicuous This Season by
Their WoefuI Absence.

In years gone by, it has been GUS
tomary for each American league play
er to get two passes good for all games
both at home and on the road. Sell
dom were these pasteboards idle, as
friends of the ball tossers took advan-
tage of the opportunity. At the Amer
lean league meeting last winter, it was
decided by the club owners that these
passes should be cut out, and nothing
was said about it. When the players
asked, a few days after the start of
the race, for the little bits of paste
board, they heard the sad news, and
their friends have been hearing it
since, whenever they asked for one of
the tickets.

STANLEY COvELESKIE
EARNING THEIR CAKES IN BIG LEAGUES.

ard the famous Boston portsiders, and
from the pitching he has done so far
this season there is no great argument
that can be advanced to offset Schupp's
standing in fOrk-handed ranks.
Schupp has formidable young rival
for pitching fame in Stanley Coveles-
kie, the Cleveland Highlander. Cove
leskie is twenty-six years old. Like
Schupp, young COveleskie has youth
on his side, and today he stands out
as pitching phenon who is just be-
ginning to come into his own as a
winner.
Coveleskie's work with the Cleve-
land Indians has been one of the big
geSt features of the season In so faI
as pitching goes. He has pitched
against every club in the league, and
has come through on the long end of
a big majority of his games. He is
che OF the most effective pitchers in
the big leagues this year, for he has
started already to pile up a string of
shutOuts. Last year he allowed an
average of 3.41 runs per nine innings
pitched, but his 1917 record will show
smaller percentage.
Compared to his southpaw brother
on the Detroit club, Stanley Coveles-
kie promises to do the most to plaster
fame on the family moniker, for al
though the older Coveleskie is won
derful performer, his kid brother is
coming on so fast that he bids fair to
pass him as winning pitcher, and at
that he has his work cut out for him,

CLUBS CLAIMING JOE DUGAN
Jesse Burkett Is Said to Have induced
Holy Cross Players to Sign
With Boston Sox.

Joe Dugan, infielder of the Holy
Cross College baseball team, coached
by Jesse Burkett, is likely to be the
cause of some controversy. Connie
Mack was supposed to have an agree
ment with him that if he took up pro-
fessional ball he would join the Ath-
letics, but Burkett, according to re-
port, has induced him to pledge him
self to the Red Sox. Now both clubs
are claiming him. Dugan has tenn

BIG WOOL PRIZES
State Fair Would Encourage Wool
Production.

In an effort to interest farmers in
this territory in the raising of more
sheep, not only because of the tremen-
dous rise in the price of mutton but
because Of the pressing need for more
wool to be used in the manufacture Of
blankets and clothing for our soldiers,
the fair is offering liberal premiums to
owners of purebred sheep of the lead
ing breeds.
So much wool Is to be required in
the making of uniforms, socks, over
