SUGAR is Plentiful
No Danger of a Famine, Hoover Tells
the Nation

Washington. Sept. 5.-"Don't hoard
sugar. Be economical in it's use, but
do not stint the household There is
no immediate prospect of a sugar
famine.
This. in effect. is the suggestion
made to the United Stat IS by the food
administration.
1t is not actually a lack of sugar
the people, but the question of it's dis
tribution. After October ], with good
luck. the sugar situation WILL be prac-
tically normal in the United States.
The world shortage is small and
practically confined to Europe. With
the stocks on hand in this country
and Cuba and those now coming from
Hawaii, it appears that with proper
management and with speculation and
boarding eliminated, Mr.. Hoover says,
there will be no scarcity, even while
awaiting the new crop.
And with the exports administrative
board planning to bring into Ameri-
can ports a goodly percentage of the
100000 tons product by Java. the
chances for shortage are lsssened even
further. The world supply of sugar
for the present year, it stated, is esti-
mated at 1S,659.792 tons against an
average production befor. the war of
1S.712997 tons. The Cuban crop for
1867 has just closed and is up to

something radically wrong. In the
fourteen years Bender has pitched he
has failed to finish with a percentage
below 500 only three times. One of
the lean years was in 1915 with the
Baltimore Feds, when he was over
worked.
Chief Meyers is on the down grade,
no doubt, but George Stallings saved
him from dropping out of the majors
by picking him out of Brooklyn's dis
cards. Meyers was once demon
slugger and a wonderful catcher in
every way. He has lost much of his
old time steam. but he knows the
game inside and out and is still a
valuable man to have around.
Should Be Asset.
Like George Gibson, who was
picked up by McGraw after he had
outlived his usefulness at Pittsburg,
Meyers should prove a valuable asset
to Stallings, who is rebuilding his club
and needs an experienced old-timer
like the chief to lend him assistance.
Jim Thorpe has never really made
good as big Lacquer. McGraw gave
the Olympic star every chance in the
world and hung onto him as long as
he possibly could before turning him
over to Matty. AS member of the
Reds Thorpe has failed to shine, but
he's still under contract.
Those aborigines sure do hang on.
