WEST TO ITS OWN
1918 Should See 1t Claiming
Big League Ascendancy.
Several Teams Showing East
Some Real Baseball.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Sept. Western ma +or
league clubs are slowly but surely
coming back into their own.
After a stretch of seven years in
the National League, and eight sea-
sons in the American, the teams on
the far side of the Allegheny range
are showing strong signs of cham
pionship fcaliber, and if the war
doesn't knock the props from beneath
the national pastime, the season of
1918 is very apt to find western teams
in both leagues dominating the pen
nant races
For the good of baseball generally,
nothing better could happen The
east has nominated both major league
circuits so long that even the worlds
series fails to enthuse the west as it
once did. But the worm will turn.
Red SOx the Hogs.
The Boston Red Sox have upheld
the east in the American League for
three years. including the present sea-
son, and prior to that time the Red
Sox sandwiched in between three of
Connie Mack's pennant winners.
Detroit's American League cham
pions of 1909 were the last to win a
pennant in the west, and Detroit lost
the worlds series of that year to the
Pittsburg Pirates, also a western
entry. The Cubs of 1910, the last Ma
=
west, fell an easy prey to the Ath-
letics, losing four out of five games.
But the west is coming back. The
Cardinals and Reds have the earmarks
of hot contenders again next season,
and a good many wise baseball men
are predicting that the Giants will dis
integrate, just as the Champion
Dodgers have done this year, because
several of McGraws most important
players are getting we'll along in
years.
Cubs Are Coming.
Fred Mitchel1s Cubs must also be
figured. The team, as it stands to-
day, is not a championship aggrega-
ton by any means, but Mitchell has
lines laid for rebuilding that should
get results. The Cub leader recently
announced that he will have nothing
to do with players who come to the
club as a gamble" He wants men
of recognized ability, and he has Presi-
dent Weeghman's permission to go out
and get them, regardless of the price
In the American league, Chicago,
Detroit and Cleveland are three pow
erful clubs. The strength of the
White Sox has been SO prominent all
season that it is needless to mention
the class of Rowland's men. The
Tigers and Indians, with better pitch
ing next season, may be expected to
win from 5 to % per cent more
games than they have won this year,
if the dope is correct.

but even the corner store trade in
meats, was sought by the packers,
witnesses declared, large markets
were established in strategic posi-
tons in various large cities where
packers named the price at which
meats could be sold. at retail, ac-
cording to testimony. These prices
were said to be below that at which
the small retailer could sell. As a
result 1t was said. the neighborhood
butchers were closing up their shops
in ever increasing numbers because
customers were drawn to the larger
stores. Witnesses named the Mohi-
can company, which has a chain Of
stores throughout New England, as
specific instance of this kind.
Thus, Mr.. Heney pointed out, the
packers controlled the entire field OF
the country's meat business. At the
Washington hearing. it was brought
out, he said, that they controlled the
stockyards and the extensive termin-
al facilities in Chicago.
Now 1t was shown, he continued,
that they also controlled the valu-
able by-products from butcher waste
and were making business nearly
unbearable for the small butcher.
Driven Out BY Trust.
Many of the witnesses heard to-
day gave their versions of being
driven out OF business by what they
termed the trust, or Of getting in
to the combine in order to live. Two
Of the witnesses enlivened the ses-
sion by Voicing their defiance to the
packers.
John GIennie of North Andover
stated that he had refused an offer
of $250,O00 for his plant, which, ac-,
cording to his own estimate, was
worth not more than $4,000.
This offer was made. he said, when
the trust" tried to put him out of
business. They resorted first to the
usual methods, he said. of bidding
UP prices for war materials, by hir-
ing away his men, and by leasing"
away his customers by the bonus
system.
Finally, he said, Representative
Of the combine came to me and said
that sympathetically he was sorry,
but If l persisted in being stubborn
it would be necessary to put me out
of the business, much as the MEM
bers of the combine hated to do it,.
And you persisted?" asked Mr..
Heney.
II went into their own territory
after their business, Glennie re-
piled.
Even at the prices they boosted
up, / was able to make a living. /

knew what my men were doing. /
didn't have the heavy overhead ex-
penses of the combine.
When Glennie stepped down from
the stand, he was warmly thanked
by Mr.. Heney and other members Of
the trade commissions party.
The other so-called "trust-bucker"
to testify was e. ]. McCaffrey who
conducted, with his brother, the What
Cheer Chemical company OF Paw
tucket, r. T. He told OF meeting
stiff opposition in getting waste
products and of refusing offers to
sell his business.
II told 'em" he said in describing
his meetings with an official Of the
combine in Boston, at which efforts
were made to buy him out, that
they didn't have money enough to
make me sell out. was told at that
meeting that they didn't like the
shape of my jaw.
MCCaffrey said he was able to do
business at profit by his low over
head expenses as compared with
those of the combine.

CORN MEAL WILL
LOWER \. c. OF |.

Corn meal is a cheap and nutri-
tIous cereal which deserves more at
tentiOn. To be at its best it should
be home ground; the Kindred pro-
duct from which the germ has been
removed is dry and tasteless. There
are mills where the meal is ground
as it should be, and if you buy your
supply insist on having the whole

boiling rapidly, sprinkle gradually
one CupfUl of cOrn-meal, stirring it
vigorously all the while, and add salt
to taste. If your family is large
double the recipe Cook it hard for
half an hour, beating it thoroughly
every few moments. 1t can then be
transferred to the fireless cooker,
where it should cook not less than
four hours, or it can be cooked in a
double boiler on the back of the stove
until supper time. The secret of good
mush, or 'hasty-pudding," is the
long, slow cooking The hot mush,
served with milk, is an excellent sup
per dish, or may be reheated for the
breakfast cereal. Whatever is left
may be poured into a pan and set
away to cool; it can then be sliced
