LAWRY, MACK INFIELDER.
RELEASED TO BALTIMORE
Failure to Hit Big League Pitching
Causes Downfall of Maine
Recruit

One of the speediest youths in the big
leagues has failed to make good in the big
snow Otis Lawry, former University Of
Maine track and baseball star, has been
handed his release by Connie Mack and
now Is n member of the Baltimore club
Lawry came to Mack last year heralded
as a sure thing for the second base post
However. he failed to solve the pitchers and
his fielding alone was not sufficient to win
him a regular berth
The coming of Joe Dugan really marked
his passing. The former Holy Cross youth
has made such an impression upon Mack
that Connie had no place for Otis with
Witt, Grover, D.ugan and Griffin now In
harness to take care of work around the
keystone sack Otis was left far from n
regular berth. His hitting will have to
show much improvement even to retain a
place in the minors.

UP TO THE RETAILERS

We have il from the tbest auIhorl-
ties that poultry ought to'be comPara-
lively cheap, as there is n large. sur
plus OF this nutritious food available,
il retailers will take small profits. II
your dealer asks the old and fancy
prices don't pay them, unless you
want TO encourage greed. According
10 the latest government. figures there
is a decided congestion in the frozen
poultry market, and it is up to,the re-
taller as well as the wholesaler TO re-
lieye this congestion at reasonable
prices. An increased use of poultry
now will tend to conserve other meats
which are of more Importance to our
troops in Europe and our allies. 1t Is
also pointed out that unless the un-
usually heavy holdings Of dressed
poultry in gold storage are moved
quickly. farmers who have increased
this years Aocks in response to pa
triotic appeal will not nave normal
marketing conditions when their sur
plus comes 10 market.
The storage supplies of poultry In
the summer OF 1915 were unusually
low because of small original hold
inss and large export demands. This
resulted in unusually high prices TO
producers during the fall and winter
of 1915 The supply was unexpect-
edly heavy and large stocks were
stored at high costs. Then export de-
mands fell off. the wave of economy
