Ball players must fight.
The edict has gone forth from the
that ali members of the organizations
called in the-draft will be expected to
shoulder arms for their country, and
that, if need be, the championship sea-
son will be curtailed and 200 well
drilled PLAYERS be turned over to the
army to be used administers in the
various camps to be established for
Uncle Sans new soldiers throughout
the country.
In a statement issued by B. B. john
son. the president of the American
Lea que says:
Our country has gone into a terrific
war. and all good Americans must be
prepared to make sacrifices. The mo-
ment the government says the word

GLASSES of Americans. and we are ready
to obey orders. America f1rst' is our
battle cry, and l sincerely hope that
all of the ball players in both ma or
leagues and in the minors who have
been drafted will Join the national
army without attempting To CidlIH eA-

Iers are brave and patriotic. They have
been royalty treated by the public and
they are eager to do something for
their country. Athletes make the best
soldiers. Physical training in sports
produces big. powerful young men who
have courage and nerve If the ball
players are called to the colors. there
fore. it will be their duty to respond
inanfully and with great enthusiasm.
Club owners and players alike must
Frealize that patriotism comes before
teverything. This is not time to be

lparing TO send 10000 men to France,
land the base ball world must help.
Ever since last March army sergeants
have been drilling the American League
players. Today the players are well
'versed in military tactics. They have
studied the war game with the same
energy with which they have learned
to play base ball.

"a growing number of workers are

there Is no finality there is a limit to
Standardization except in small de-

Minister Addison Says Output
Is Considerably on the
Increase.

DETERMINED ON CONTROL

LONDON. July (by maiD.-The out
put Of aircraft in Great Britain is con-
siderably on the increase. according to
DIR. Addison, minister of munitions.
He stated that since last January, when
the ministry became responsible to the
flying service for supply. the program
had been steadily and largely increased.
1t was still expanding and no limit
could be set to it until the country had
enough airplanes and seaplanes both
for attack and defense.
DIR. Addison said: mo fewer than 100
factories are engaged on some process
or other connected with the construc-
ton and equipment Of the flying ma
chine Output is increasing by leaps
and bounds. If. for the purpose Of com
parison. you put the number of air
planes produced in May. 1916. at 100.
then in May of this year the number
rose to rather more than 300. Even
this rate of increase Is being acceler-
ated. The output in December will be
twice what it was in April, and the De-
cember total will be far surpassed in
succeeding months. The number of
airplane engines turned out monthly
has been more than doubled this year
already. and this total will be doubled
again before the close of the year.

Judge Again Prominent.

Judge also was a prominent factor in
the victory run up in the nightcap His
with the first run Of the contest in the
third inning. A pass to Foster, Mlan's
sacrifice. passes to Shanks and Leonard
and Gharrity's sacrifice fly netted two
more in the fourth, and another was regis
tered in each of the seventh and eighth
rounds, Judge tallying in the seventh on
Wamby's error after walking and taking
second on an out. and Shanks scoring in
the eighth. following his double feeders
choice and H. Milan's infield death.
Speaker cracked Shaw on the foot with
a rifle shot drive in the fourth, stole sec
ond and scored on Harris single, and
Roth registered in the final frame when
he hit safely, advanced on a walk to
Harris and cashed as Wamby delivered
a one-base blow to left. Shaw was wheez-
ing like one-lunged gas engine in this
session. An error by Shanks on a force
play filled the bases, but with the tying
runs on the sacks Wamby ended the
struggle by grounding to Foster. Score:
