MUST PLANT MORE WINTER
GRAIN.

There is healthy disposition
on the part of Minnesota farm
ers to increase their acreage in
winter wheat and rye. The pres
ent war is one of nations, more
than armies, and victory de-
ponds upon the manner in which
the people engaged in all indust-
ries do their duty, unitedly and
periodically.
There are many difficulties to
be overcome by the farmers in
considering next seasons crops.
There will be shortage of la
Dor, which is the principal diff
Guilty, but this will have to be
overcome through an exchange
of labor on the part of those
who employ men in industrial
Lines, the organization of the
Boys Reserve Corps, etc. The
labor bureau Of the Commission
will be able to do some very ef-
| fective work next year and has
succeeded very we'll during the
first few months of it's existence.
A careful census of men who
can be made use of in farm work
will have to be made and plans
made to utilize every available
man and boy in the handling of
the crops.
A survey Of the seed situation
will also become a necessity and
difficulties in connection with
that will have to be met and
overcome. The State Commits
/ sion is keenly alive to these i'm
portant problems and the direc-
| ton of intelligent effort to the
lhusbanding of resources in these
lines will be among its most i'm
1portant tasks. With the CO.
operation of every loyal citizen,
we can expect practical results.

COMPARATIVE SCORES
CAN prove Nothing
No Chance for Colleges to Claim
Title by Comparing Record
of Teams.

Every football season the question
Of comparative scores is exhumed and
brought forward and made to prove
almost anything.
Under the system Podunk College
may have a better team than the
recognized champions when the sea-
son is over. regardless of the fact that
Podunk has only played one team Of
any strength and that early in the
season.
There is a striking example this
year.
No critic would claim that Dart
mouth could win from Pittsburgh, yet
comparative scores would have 1t that
the Green is fully as strong as Glenn
Warmers Panthers.
Yet. according to comparative scores
the dope would be something like this.
w. and ]. gave Pittsburgh the har-
dest game Of the season. holding them
to a 13-to-10 score and almost tying
the scors by a field goal which failed
by inches. The week before w, and
]. was defeated by West Virginia 7
to 0. and a week or so before tina
Dartmouth defeated West Virginia 6
to 2. Another way of looking at the
same situation is that while Dart.
mouth did not permit West Virginia a
touchdown. Pittsburgh had nine
points scored against her by the
mountain boys.
There are two maip reasons why
comparative scores are worthless.
In the first place some football
teams improve faster than others.
Some gain their full strength early
in the season while others do not.
The other reason. which is most i'm
portant is that most coaches begin
the season by pointing their teams
toward one or two important games.
usually late in the season. In their
efforts to reach the maximum power
at that time they often play early
games with substitutes and do not
uncover plays and formation with
which they might win or pile up big
scores.

WAR IS EDUCATING
english To BASEBALL
American National Pastime to Su-
persede Cricket in England.

The war promises to do what four
decades could not do 10 the conserva-
tive British mind-make baseball a
popular sport in England.
British sporting papers are freely
predicting that baseball is likely to
supersede cricket as the popular Eng
crowds which have attended recent
games between Canadian troops TO
back up their predictions.
From the few hundreds who at
tended the first game played in Eng
land the crowds have increased to
from l5,ooo to ao.Oo0 in games held this
fall.
No less than 10l Canadian teams
were entered in an elimination match
held in this summer and fall to de-

overseas forces.

ED Smith IS HANDED
real DOUBLE CROSS
Famous Chicago Referee Jolted by
Wrestling Promoter in Texas.

Chicago. Nov. o5.-There are mighty
few men i'm the sports game any wiser
or harder to bamboozle tIan Ed W
writer and referee. And that is what
makes 1t all the harder to understand
how this came to happen to Smith.
Smiths fame as a referee is by no
means local. so when a promoter at
Houston, Tex, lined up a wrestling
match between Stranger Lewis and
Wladek Zbyszko. he sent for Ed to
come and officiate. He promised
Smith his transportation and $500.
THAT looked good to me-" solilo-
quizcd Ed. I'll just take Mrs. Smith
along. visit New orleans and blow a
part of that $500 having a nice little
outing"
Accordingly Ed arranged to take a
week off. packed his grip and, with
Mrs. Smith, boarded a southbound
Iattler.
Thus far ell this looks regular. but
here is where the sad part comes in.
Smith neglected to get his trans
pGrtation in advance and did not ex-
act any guarantee from the promoter
that his fee as referee would be paid
He just assumed that everything
would be on the level and that he
would get his money when the match
was over.
For some reason Zoyszko decided
not to wrestle and Charley Cutler
was substituted. The substitution ap-
rarently killed the show for when the

Bowie enters upon the last lap of
its meeting today. The final bugle
will be sounded Friday, which will be
the ending of fall racing season OF

interest has kept up 10 a wonderful

OF the sport Of kings" the public

old dash at five and one-half fur

today. The two-year-old race. which

a classy bunch and should furnish the
followers an interesting argument TO

ROBINSON PROVEN
SUCCESSFUL PILOT

No one was surprised when Colonel
Ebbets announced recently that
Uncle Wilbert Robinson had signed
a contract to manage the Dodgers in
1918.
No one was surprised because in
Uncle Wilbert the Dodgers have one
of the most capable baseball pilots
in the business. Two years ago he
won a pennant for Ebbets, and he
won with the worst looking ball club
that has ever stepped out ahead of
the National League pack and copped
the bunting.
Last season he had lot of tough
luck with his pitching staff, and
many injuries to players kept him
back when his club might have start
ed winning streaks.

effort to raise "a thousand dollars

night, and decided on account of the
lateness of the season and the slow
progress already made. to give it up

considerably less than 500 has al

TIPPITY WITCHET IS
TOP TWO.YEAR0LD
Trainer George Odom Improved Bay
Gelding After Purchase from
Harry Payne Whitney.

Harry Payne Whitney evidently
parted with rare pony when he per-
mittod Tippity Witchet to go to the
Brishton Stable in the early part Of
the season.
Perhaps the crack bay gelding was
not the runner at that time that he
is today, thanks TO the training he has
received under the exper' nnced eve of
George Odom, a veteran trainer and
once a star jockey on the Eastern
tracks, but il Is a certainty that he
had it in him.
This good 2-year-old is really a cast
on OF Whitney's. but up to a fortnight
ago he had started in eighteen races.
captured thirteen firsts and four sec
onds and won s15,9i9 in purses for his
new owners.
Starting in the first race on opening
day OF the 1917 season at Bowie, he
won the dash at four fTrlongs, romp-
ing home an easy winner in a field of
eight good starters. He ran four races
under Mr.. Whitney's colors. out of
which he won two and was second
twice.
His first start under the colors of
the Brighton Stable was in the Can
arsie Selling Stakes at Aqueduct in
kassin. He then won two races, one at
Aqueduct and one at Yonkers. and this
was followed by losing race at Yon-
kers in which he finished outside the
money.
He was next started at Belmont
Park. and together with races at
Havre de Grace and Laurel he won
piled up eight straight victories. He
finished second TO Leochares in his
next race and then, toward the latter
part of the season, he finished ahead
of fast field at Laurel.

USAACS-HILLTOPPERS
CLASH is Big One
Battle at League Park Thanksgiving
Among Leading Games Scheduled.

Not without reason have the foot
ball fans of the entire East turned
their eyes to the nations Capital this
week to follow the outcome OF the
Thanksgiving Day battle which is to
be fought between the "Usaacs" and
Georgetown at the American League
Park, for Washington will on that
day witness the most important game
on the Eastern seaboard. While the
men from the Ambulance Service
Camp at Allentown and the wearers
of the blue and gray Of Georgetown
are testing their mettle against one
another, the Pitt Panthers will un-
doubtedly be romping through the
lines of Penn State. and Penn. the
only other big eleven in the middle
Eastern section of the country, Is
scheduled to play against Cornell,
contest which by no process of algebra
can be otherwise than onesided.
The victory over the Camp Meade
team by the ambulance squad at
Reading on Saturday, added another
plume to the helmet Of the "Usaac"
eleven, and eliminated an aspirant
for the service title which the men OF
silent Dud" Clarke's gridiron ag-
gregation had viewed with no little
curiosity and respect. because OF its
defeat of the Philadelphia Marines
earlier in the season. With the down.
fall Of the men from the great camp
at Admiral, however, the field Is clear
for the "Usaacs" for the remainder of
the season, save only for the titanic
clash scheduled for Washington Ball
Park on Turkey Day"
The ambulance camp will send
AGAINST the champions of the South
lantic division a squad of approx
mateIy thirty-two men. 1t will include
all of the great regular flrst-string
line and backfield, every man OF which
is in excellent condition. Coach Clarke
also will spring some surprises on the
Hilltoppers in the way OF plays. His
seasons roster up to last Saturday
included some of the most successful
and original formations that have
been tried this year on the field. and
yet he temporarily discarded these
plays to try or-t an entirely new group
against Camp J, nade.
He will have l4ore than forty plays
to draw upon when his clever strateg-
list, Jack Dunn, Hurry-up Yosts pupil
from Michigan. and Mike Murphy. OF
Yale, who outgeneraled the great Ma
han in Philadelphia, try conclusions
against Exendine's general, Jackie
Maloney. next Thursday afternoon at
the American League grounds in this
| city.
The tickets for the holiday football
game went on sale late Saturday
night. and the rush for reservations
and the advance sale has astonished
the managers of the "Csaac" interests
| who are here. Spalding's. the New
Willard. the Raleigh and Woodward x
Lothrop's and Loughran's have tickets
for sale.

BOTH CLUB MEMBERS
NOW In NEW YORK

The club plan for conducting box
ing bouts is now the only one New
York promoters can use, and at best
it is far from being satisfactory. The
old interest is lacking in the game.
and because of the fact that there is
a ban on boxing for the public, pro-
moters do not feel free to offer the
purses that put up before the Frawley
Law died a horrible death.
1t is really amusing to hear the
referee announce:
The main event will be a ten
round boxing contest between Bat
Sosandso and Kid Biffem, both mem
bers of this club
