= this war is too great for the
: women of New Mexico. This
: willingn sss to make great sac
rifices was shown at a meet
+ ing last week of the Woman's
+ Auxiliary of the New Mexico
: Council of Defense. A resolu-
ton was introduced and pas
; sed without a dissenting vote,
+ which urged the use of ration
+ cards, to insure the fair and
impartial distribution of all
foods. Tn, recommendation of
these earnest women was that
ration cards be put into use
throughout all the states. They
are eager to begin now the
practice of this salf-d NAL. in
order that the greatest possible
conservation of food may be
effected.
Here's to the women Of New

New York, Dec. 8.-Just as "Dutch' Waller-fat. f1abby and 59-was tell ing a group of six-day fanatics in Madison Square Garden last night how he and Charley Miller used to win the Garden grinds back in the days when dad was in his swaddling clothes, and how listless and featureless the pres ent race had become, Pete Drobach, in an attempt to regain some of his lost ground, suddenly opened up In a cannon ball burst

CITY CHAMPIONSHIP.
Re(lWOOds and Empires to Decide Question of Supremacy Tomorrow.

The game that decides the football championship in New Britain will be staged tomorrow, when the RedWOodS, the conQuerOrs of several of the would be champions, will meet the Empires, the contenders of the title in this city.
 This game has been brewing for some time, and to settle all arguments the teams have decided to settle the question once and for all.
 The Empires will have in their line up some we'll known football stars, amongst them being Pigeon" Con- ley, Tom Blanchard, Waffle Mooney, J. Stefnick and others. Though these players are all warriors of the grid , iron. they will have to travel at a fast rate to keep up with the Red- woods, for when the old reliables get going amongst them being Bayer, ! Spec" Campbell, Red" O'Neill, Dan ielson and the others, nothing can stop them but a stone wall. The game will be staged on the ! Redwoods field at the Seymour park
 gridiron, on East street, and will be- gin promptly at 2:30 o'clock. The referee of the game will be George Kingsbury, and the umpire Harry Ginsburg.
 This is the last game for both 1 teams, and if the people of New Brit ] ain want to see the Redwoods in &C., | ton for the last time this season, they 1 had better attend the game tomor- l row. All the populace know of the | ability of the Redwoods on the field as shown by their playing of last Sunday when they held the 19O pound Tiger team of Hartford to score 1 less tie.
 Basketball practice for the Red.
 woods will be held on Monday nigh1
 at 7:3o clock at the Boys club and all those wishing to try out for the 1 team can do so by communicating
 with Manager Smith, A schedule iF
 being arranged and good seaso1 is being looked for.

Several inn portant amendments will be acted up- on at this meeting. The plan out lined at the recent session has been arranged by the executive committee so that sectional associations will be organized in eleven divisions of the country and an additional one to di- rect amateur billiards in the Domin- ion of Canada
 It Is likely that the place of holding the national championshin tourna. ments in Class A. and c at 1s.2 balkline will be determined at the an- nual meeting. The question of per- m1tting practice shots may be incor- porated in the rules.
 The following nominations have been made for officers of the association ana executive committees: President. N]eorge T. Moon, IT,; vice president. CorW1n Huston; secretary, J. P. Allen: treasurer, G. o. Rudolphy. Executive Comm1tree-T. Henry Clarkson, Bos- ton; Dr. Harley Parker, Chicago; J. E. Cope-Morton, Philadelphia; Fred H, Lindard, Baltimore; Henry Osborn. Bridgeport; A. B. Hyman, F. G. Airy. W. G. Douglas, c. P. Matthew's l.. A. Servatius, Robert Weld, Rudolph Domschke
 George T. Moon, Jr president of the national association, yesterday re- ceived the application for embership from Miss Clara Catherine Haywood, the girl player of Philadelphia She is desirous of entering one of the na- tional championship tournaments. Her letter follows:
 Enclosed please find my applica- tion for membership in the National Association of Amateur Billiard Play CTS. In view of the fact that at some future date I may wish to submit my entry for one of the national tourna- ments it seemed appropriate to me that I first join the organization If there is any rule which would be in- terpreted as excluding women from membership may I ask of you the kind favor of reading this note at the annual meeting of the association.
 'In that event will you also please request vote, unanimous if neces- sary, that would enable me to become a member of your organization, which includes so many of my good friends
 It was pointed out by Moon that the constitution and bylaws of the nation al association were so worded as to make it impossible to elect Miss Hay wood as regular member. He was of the opinion, however, that she might properly be elected to honorary membership, with privileges of com peting in the championships.

LARRY SAYS YES,
 AND TENER SAYS NO
It's All About That Little Gather
 ing Of Baseball MogulS

. New " ork, Dec. S.-Like the cele- Drated MT. Finncgan, the joint meet ing between the American and National leagues is :off again, on again, Finnegan." Granting that the subject has become a terrible bore, it went through all the Finnegan stages yesterday. It was off in the morning, on in the afternoon and off again in the evening, thus ending the day in most Finneganed condition.
 Garry Hermann indicated yesterday he will not be moved from his posi- tion. And the upshot of the matter Is that it now looks though Herr mann will have his meeting, despite the fact that both league presidents Eener and Johnson-are lukewarm toward it.
 Even after Tener called off the meeting last Thursday night, Herr mann would not give Up the ship. He sent jTener another telegram to the effect that it was of vital importance that such meeting be held at this time.
 Tener, therefore, agreed to a meet ing in, Chicago late next week, pro- vided the American league men would wait until the National league finished its annual meeting here next week. Tencr. however, informed Hermann that the meeting could not be held on December 13.
 obviously I could not ask my club owners to come here to start our an- nual meeting next Tuesday, then hop out to Chicago for a meeting with the American league, and then return to New York to wind up our meeting" < said Tener.
 Tener then expected the meeting would be held about Saturday, De- cember IS, but last night Johnson an- nounced in Chicago he had received Tener's letter calling off the meeting and is we'll satisfied.
 1T was not particularly in favor of joint meeting myself,'' said John son in Chicago last night, "but as the suggestion came from August Herr mann, who is chairman of the Nation al commission as we'll as president of the Cincinnati club, I consented to it.
 Meeting Is On, Says Hermann.
 On top of Tener's announcement yesterday that the meeting could not be held except on December 15, a week from today, Garry Hermann, last night, sent message to all the club owners of the National and American leagues, informing them that the meeting, as originally de- cided upon, would positively be held in Chicago next Thursday. Herr mann's statement follows:
 "I have wired all National club owners to be present in Chicago next Tuesday, according to my original plan. I am confident that there will be a practically unanimous represen- tation of magnates from our league.
 '1f one or two of our Eastern own- CTS feel that they cannot attend, we will hold the meeting without them. [ hope, however, that all of the club owners will arrange to be present, as consider it a matter of utmost inn portance.''
 Hermann said further that he had talked over the long-distance tele- phone yesterday with Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburgh; Branch Hickey, of St : Louis, and Charles Weegham, of Chi cago, and all expressed themselves heartily in favor of an immediate meeting with the American league.
