BIG SUN.
IS WASTED
In MAJORS
Magnates Spend Money
Knowing it is Lost, Says
Jennings, of Detroit.
(By Associated Presg.)

Waxahacie. Tex. March 26.-
Manager Jennings Of the Detroit Am
orleans declares that major league
clubs waste $4,000 year. He claims
that magnates spend a share of this
money knowing it will be wasted. Fear
OF being called Cheap skates" by the
baseball populace is the reason for the
wastage, Jennings says.
Jennings. a student of the old school,
believes that. the major league play
er limit easily could be reduced to
twenty men and that teams could get
along with a squad Of eighteen play
ers. ......
THE ball team that wins remnants
is the team that has the fewest num-
Der Of men," he declares.
Jennings points out the remarkable
success of the old Baltimore Orioles.
OF which he was member. which won
pennants with SQUAD that never
totaled more than eighteen athletes.
Very often. the Detroit manager de-
clares. baseball manager will recon-
mend to the club owner that several
recruits be released Immediately after
they have been looked over at the
training camp. Magnates hesitate to
release them. fearing they may lose a
diamond in the rough and be criticize
ed by fandom. AS a result. Jennings
said. many hopeless ball tossers con-
tinue to eat major league meals or find
fine berths with class "A" clubs. at the
expense Of the major organization.
Training expenses. and the cost of
travelling. uniforms. equipment, hotel
bills and many minor incidentals would
greatly be reduced. says Jennings, If
big league ball clubs had the nerve
to employ squad Of twenty men.

BEER IN ENGLAND.

Reduction in Production Assigned TO
New and Unusual Causes.
The production of beer is to be re-
duced by 80 per cent Of the amount
brewed in the current fiscal year. The
food controller explains that this is
not in any way a temperance or social
measure, and Il is. quite right that he
should make 1t clear what is his OBJ
ject, although there would not really
be any reason to blush for temperance
or social reform even in time of war,
and economy in national energy is not
less important than economy in sugar.
However, it is to a better use of sugar.
barley and other brewers materials
and the saving of transport. labor, and
fuel that the food controller Is look
ing, and we do not see how the keen
est critic can find fault with him. The
reform has long been overdue. The
opponents of this branch Of national
economy have made much of a recent
statement by Mr.. Prothero, the min
lister Of agriculture, who enlarged on
the Importance of brewing by-products
as feeding-stuff for mich cows. The
food controller, however, takes diff
ferent view and says that milk pro-
duction is likely to be bettered when
the barley passes through the hands OF
the miller rather than those Of the
brewer.
The change is to be accompanied by
an equivalent restriction of the
amount of wines and spirits which
can be taken out OF bond and this is,
perhaps, If we may be daring enough
to say It, intended both as a temper
ance measure and as a means of pre-
venting the waste in another way of
the tonnage, transport and labor that
are to be saved on beer. We shall thus
achieve a substantial economy. and
there is no doubt that the food con-
troller and the cabinet. as they re-
view our habits. will find many other
ways of putting our national re-
sources to mora profitable USE
