BAD WEATHER, NOT
WAR, BLAMED FOR
POOR ATTENDANCE

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Bad weather
to be the reason for the great fall
ing off in attendance upon big league
baseball games this season. Wash
ington is the one city suffering from
the war, the explanation being that
government workers are too busy
these days to go to the ball games.
In the National League New York
alone is making money, though the
attendance has fallen off. Cincin-
natl and st. Louis have backed the
National League in good style.
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit,
Chicago and Boston are making
money, but Philadelphia is the only
one ahead of, last years figures.
Unofficial attendance figures gath
cred this season show the following
results:
AMERICAN LEAGUE.
CHICAGo-Behind last years at
tendance. Due wholly 10 cold, rainy
weather.
BoSToN-Much behind last year,
duA to@chanBe of owners, too many
championships and cold, rainy wealth
er.
DETRoIT-MaIxing good showing.
but several thousands behind last
year. . ....
CLEvELAND-Almo up to last
year. More fortunate as to weather
conditions.
ST. LOUIS-To the bad by half, due
to weakness Of Browns and free ad-
vertising given the Cardinals.
NEW YORK-Almost up to last
year.
PHILADELPHIA-A Of last
year, due to large Italian following
of Ping Bodie and interest in new
team.
WASHINGTON-w in league,
attendance far below that of last
year.
NATIONAL LEAGUE.
CHICAGo-Behind last years at
tendance.
CINCINNATI-Almos up TO last
years figures, due to Mathewson's |
personal popularity and position OF
the Reds.
NEW YORK-Behind in attendance,
but making money and better off |
than any other club in the league.
PHILADELPHIA-A good, /
but behind last years.
ST. LOUIS-Behind q little, but /
still pretty good, owing to FIRST
division berth and reorganization.
BOSTON-Worst an years.
BROoKLYN-Worst in years.
PITTSBURGH-Wors in years.
owing to absence of Hans Wagner
and personal unpopularity OF Barney
Dreyfuss.

TO STANpARIZE BREAD
AND BRING DOWN PRICES

Washington.-Def1nit steps to stan
dardize bread and lower it's price were
taken when President Wilson issued
proclamation placing all bakeries
under government license december 10
and subjecting them to food admins
tration rules prescribing ingredients
and weights of loaves. Prices will not.
be fixed, but with the Standardization
1t Is expected that natural competition
and simplificatiOn of distribution will
force down psices.
Fancy breads will be eliminated and
the multitude Of sizes now produced
will be reduced to conform with stan.
dard ingredients. The weights will be
one pound, one and half, two and
four pounds. The loaves will have a
crease in the middle to permit their
sale In halves. In baking only three
pounds of sugar will be allowed for a
barrel OF -four, instead OF an average
OF six pounds now used and two
pounds OF vegetable oil shortening
must be used instead of six pounds of
lard or oil. The food administration
expects to save 10000 900 pounds of
sugar and the Same amount Of lard
