Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1917-09-27
TO CORRESPONDENTS

The Saturday News expects to is
sue an enlarged edition next week and
it desires especially that correspond
ents send their copy earlier than us
ual. No press in Watertown, nor,
indeed, in the entire northern half of
the state, has capacity to print the
entire edition in one operation; hence
il is necessary to print the paper in
sections. %Inasmuch. as it will require
about sixty hours of continuous oper-
alton for The Saturday News news
paper press to complete the edition, it
viii be observed that the process of
printing will have to begin very early
in the week. Correspondence that
does not reach the Office as early as
Monday or Tuesday morning may have
10 go owe Owing to the extraordin-
Iarils large number of copies that will
be printed, and the number Of extra
pages the edition will contain, NO cor
respondent should be unrepresented
in this special number. The paper
will go into every home in Codington
county and into most of the homes
of the surrounding counties. The
purpose lis three-fold: to advertise the
Fall Festival to be held in Watertown.
in October, to advertise the Saturday
News and to advertise those who adj
yertise in The Saturday News. Incl
dentally, 1T may be suggested that
there is still aonther object. namely,
10 advertise the splendid corps Of
correspondents who supply the news
Of the neighboMng communities in
The Saturday News. If any other
newspaper IN the state has a better
and nor lively corps Of correspond
ents than has this paper we'd like 70
see the color of its hair. SO, friends,

Ball Situation Again
'Perplexing Magnates

The question of the effect of a
war tax, the probable loss of hun
dreds of ball players in the war
draft, the possibility of no base
ball next year-all will be given
the most serious attention. The
meeting is likely to be of the
greatest importance. 1t is not be-
lieved likely that any drastic steps
will be made public.

OLD MAN ALIBI
ON JOB TO-DAY
Has Many Good Reasons Why Tacoma Didn't Have
Chance to VIM Anyway One Defeat Doesn't
Lose Pennant; Why Worry?
YEP, THEY BEAT US!


compared to straight run Of IL
Victories, and at the opening OF
the season, toof
That s to 8 setback yestei day
was just a hesitation in the 1ig-
ers winning streak. And look at
the good excuses Old Man Alibi
has to offer today.
In the first place, had we won
yesterdays game, 1t would have
been 13 straight games for the
home team. That number is too
unlucky for anyone to take a
chance on.
Second, 1t rained all the time,
and the ball was slippery. Russ
Halls colts got the worst end of
every break of luck.
Third, AL Bonner was due to
start the game, but AL Is no mud
horse, and before he had time to
say "Enuf,' the Hesterics had
walked over his frame to tune
of three runs and six hits.
Mr.. o. M. Alibi says he could
continue with legitimate reasons
for that defeat all afternoon.
1T WAS A BAD day for ball
game. Rain started at $3.50, and
continued right up to the time of
the game. Umpire Cusick start
cd the battle a half hour late,
after the drizzle had subsidized
temporarily, but Jupe Pluvius tip
ped up his sprinkkling can a few
moments later and 1t rained
throughout the game. In spite of
The weather, and fine bunch OF
fans-and adybugs-turned out
TO root for the Tigers and moot
Rowdy Hester.
BONNER ONLY lasted until the
middle of the third. Ray Alexan-
der replaced him, and was nit just
as hard. Tiger errors and sloppy
infield work helped to delay the
game and pile up tallies for the
visitors. Tacoma's first two runs
came in the first inning on sim
gle by Daniels, single by Harper,
sacrifice fly by Connolly and sin
Gle by Bogart. In the fourth 30
CART scored on Alexander's liner to
left.
TACOMA HAD A nice chance
In the fifth, with the bases full
and two out. Thompson wasn't
equal to the task, and sent a high
fly to center. We had two on al
the end Of the game, when Harper
walked and Connolly singled In
the ninth. But Eddie Bogart dis
appointed the fans by tapping a
Grounder to second.
UMPIRE CUSICK and
Manager Raymond did the
right thing by sending Stew
ems off the field i'm the fourth
for using bad language. The
fans have been criticising
Hester and his players for
their loose talk, and there Is
NO reason why Tacoma play
ers should be given any priv
ileges. Hester is peeved he
cause the fans and the papers
have been rubbing Il i'm. He
has no peeve coming. Never
In the memory of Tacoma
fans has such an abusive, vul-
gar, ungentlemanly baseball
manager been permitted to
play in a Tacoma park. Let
Hester show that he deserves
respect, and the fans won't be
slow giving IL to him.

May 14.-Departurs of . italian commerciai houses and busi- ness men have declared themselves, through their chambers of commerce, to be in accord with. those of other parts of the British empire in plan- ming to prohibit or restrict trade with enemy countries for term of years after the war. They also approve the plan adopted in London and Paris conferences on after-ware business conditions to give permanent prefer ence to trading between the different parts of the empire and with allied countries, as against enemy countries. Favorable treatment to neutral na- tions in this respect also is approved. Proposals along those lines were recommended by the London Cham Der of Commerce and have been adopted by the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Australia.
 It Is intended to accomplish most of these results affecting business af- ter the war by revision of the tariff and of the shipping and naturaliza- tion laws. Among the after-war steps approved by tho Australian Cham bers of Commerce were:
 Restriction of enemy traders with in the empire.
 Penalizatton of enemy shipping.
 Retention of all German ships now in possession of the Entente allies. . Replacement by the Teutonic allies of all ships sunk by them.
 Encouragement within tho empire of industries necessary to the public safety.
 Prevention of the control by enemy countries of raw materials and re- sources of tho British empire.
