II President Ford succeeds In plac-
ing the Cedar Rapids baseball club In
Webster City or Clear Lake, as 1t nov
seems probable he will, the Central
association will be one of the very few
minor leagues and probably the only
class D organization to 60 thru the
disastrous season OF 1917.
League after league has been over
taken by disaster and fallen by the
wayslde and It will be quite a distinc-
ton for the league Of d standing that
can weather the storm.
Not alone are the smaller organiza-
tions affected by the conditions exist
ing in baseballdom, but the majors
have been so sorely afflicted by the
war that the officials have deemed II
advisable to announce that the schedule
will be cut materially If it>is deemed
necessary. Ban Johnson, of the AM
erican league, has gone further, de-
claring that the worlds series Will be
abandoned II conditions become any
more serious.
With all due respect to Bans good
intentions. 1t Is more than likely that
the head of the American league was
seeking some free world series adver-
Using when he made the statement.
Because Of the danger Of losing star
players drafted for military service
President Hickey, Of the American as
ISOLATION, has announced that the
player limit has been abolished on his
circuit. The clubs hereafter will be
permitted to carry as many players as
they choose. Heretofore they have
been restricted to fifteen.
Hickey explained that several play
ers are certain to be lost in the draft
and to prevent the clubs from beins
seriously weakened new players may
be signed at once SO as to give the
managers an opportunity to try them
out.
Why Some Leagues Fail.
Some of the clubs which have been
forced to retire this season would have
dropped by the wayside whether the
world had been at peace or war. In
eXcusable expenditure Of money to Sc
cure pennant winning teams Is the
main reason for the failure OF many
clubs
In the Central association, for in
stance. managers have carried from
twelve to seventeen men turnout the
season, regardless Of the poor attend
ance due to the unsettled state Of af'
fairs and without regard to the player
limit rules Of the national association
Even in a more bountiful year these
clubs would have been unable to sc
thru the season without a deficit. The
Cedar Rapids club Is an example
Probably at no time after the season
opened did the Cedar Rapids manage
ment get down to the tWelve-mah
limit, and at times there were sixteen
to eighteen men on the pay roll. ThiI
drain on the treasury would have been
sufficient to have drained the treasury
had the club been playing to normal
business.
The bitter phase of the whole situa'
ton L. that Cedar Rapids, with all hel
surplus men, failed to get a real hai
team.

Los Angeles Inventor Suggests ManIess
Diver Be Sent Up 'kiel Canal.

Los Angeles, Aug. IA submarine
controlled entirely by wireless that OPP
crates on the surface or under water,
dives and energies, fires shells and
torpedoes, apparently OF it's own Volt
ton. is the invention Of Robert Morton
of Los Angeles.
Morton gave the first public demon
stration of his invention yesterday at
Glendale. The machine used is eight
feet. six inches long and weighs 500
pounds. 1t worked successfully at every
turn and responded like a living thing
to Morton's touches on a wireless in
strument key.
The model ran the length Of the tank
as the inventor touched the key Of his
wireless. Another touch reversed the
propellers and the model returned to
its base.
Then another wave opened the valves
Of the little craft and 1t sank until
only It's antennae were showing. A tiny
torpedo attached to the bow was then
released by the wireless and sped to
the end OF the tank where II exploded.
Again the key flashed and the water
around the craft became suddenly agi-
tated. The pumps OF Radio l." the
name of the model. were forcing out
the water that had ben taken aboard.
In less than five minutes the boat
was on the surface once more.
There was a gun mounted on the deck
OF the craft, apparently for show, but
Morton manipulated the wireless once
more and the gun fired a miniature
shell which. like the torpedo, exploded.
IT can make q 50 foot submarine or
these ltnes.' the inventor said. "fill 1t
half full Of nitroglycerin, guide 1t into
the Kiel canal from an airplane and
destroy every ship within radius OF
miles, or can guide the submarine in
to the mine fields OF Helgoland, blow 1t
up and sweep the entrance OF the Ger
man naval base clear Of mines. It sim
ply means using the submarine itself
as a huge mine."

when it is considered that Iowa

she consumes 1t Is time more cheese
was made in the state" says M. Nor
Jensen, head of the dairy department
at Iowa State College. IAN absolute
saving would result in making soft
cheeses in many market milk plants
and ice cream plants in Iowa, while
it would be q step toward household
economy to make more soft cheese at
home and on the farm. Any person
who can make bowl OF oatmeal can
make cottage cheese" he told the com
missioners. He pointed out that the
consumption Of cheese In America is
but s.45 pounds per head compared to

"Altho pound for pound, cheese has

are therefore advocating the use OF
cheese one a week In every home. II
