ENACING the year which waits just
II over the crest the two major leagues
are up against the greatest uncertainty
they have ever known.
Just what effect the draft will have
on their talent and just what effect the
first big casualty lists will have on pub
lie interest are things not to be figured
until the actual test is made.
But there is one thing fairly evident
that is, the strength Of Chicago in the
coming campaign.

Northeast Wins Two big Sports"

Honors were fairly evenly distributed
in the high school ranks, all the institu-
tions with the exception of Germantown
winning one or more titles. Regarding
indoor and outdoor track as two sepa-
rate sports, Northeast High was the only
school to capture leading honors in two
big sports, the representatives of the
Archive coming through in football and
outdoor track.
During the course of the year several
athletes stood head and shoulders above
their teammates and rivals. In track,
Captain Dewey" Rogers and Al Whita-
ker. of Northeast; MellirEer, of Ccu-

SONS OF v,
ATTENTION

Inc following extracts taken from a
circular letter to the chairman and
workers III the branches of the surei-
cal dressings committee make plain the
great and practical work which that
splendid organization known as the
Red Cross is doing and in which We
may all have a part.
The President in his message ia
congress says with great sanity and
common sense. I'VE should keen con-
SANITY in mind the wisdom Of inter-
ferlng as little as possible in our own
preparation and in the equipment of
our military forces with the duty
for 1t will be a very practical duty
OF supplying the nations already at
wal with Germany with the materials
which they can obtain only from us
or by u assistance. They are in the
held and we should help them in every
q to be effective there"
I'm accord with so wise a policy it
IS only necessary for lis to continue as
we are doing. and strain every nerve
10 send as many dressings to the AL
hes, now u allies, as possible. The
need for dressings his ummer on the
other side will be greater than ever, for
the most terrible battles Of the war are
probably still to be fought"
Thanks to all YOU workers in our
splendid branches the surgical dress
ings committee is materially increas-
ing its output and hopes to send this
year double what ii did last"
AS Vet We have lost no shipments
by submarines, but if VIC do, it is only
necessary to send more"
I'm order to keep our output of
dressings at the maximum. ! ask You
to plan now for carrying on the work
during the summer. ! hope workrooms
will I've kept open even if members
are scattered and that members away
from their branch will organize groups
wherever they are and send back the
dressings. either to the home branch
or tho Peter Bent Brigham hospital.
Thus the Workrooms could be used as
depots. Portland was a notable exam
pie of such an arrangement last sum
