The Mohawk Athletic Club football

a cleancut record for the season. No

On a frozen field at American
League Park before a crowd esti-
mated at 1000 the Hawks" turned
back the Coast ARTILLERY team by a
score of 13 to o. Better team work,
better generalship, and an almost i'm
pregnable defense spelled victory for
the clubmen from the start
The Nohawks o. scored their two
touchdCwns in the first half Off
tackle pIunges by Harris. r. Harris,
and Licaronie with dashes of from

The teams battled on even terms
throughout the remainder OF the half
when Byers, who had replaced r.

ronie by tackling Thompson and the

Just what the American League

Expect Few Deals.
Both big league meetings will at
tract magnates and managers in

deals are expected. The principal rea-
son is that no manager can foresee
how the next army draft will affect
his club He may need no players
and then again, the draft may take

"LET SOLDIERS In FREE"

By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Stree admission TO men in uni
form" is a slogan that may carry sue
cess at the meetings OF the major
leagues this week II the two big
organizations agree. 1t is expected
that an effort will be made to exempt
the service men from paying even the
war tax.
Colonel Rupert, whose partner,
Captain Huston, is now serving with
the engineer corps in France, u pre-
pared TO offer this motion at the
American League meeting at Chicago
Wednesday. Just who will make il
at the New York session Of the Ma
tional League is undecided. but it
may come from President Tener.
II service men are allowed free ad-
mission, no strings should be attached
to the offer, either. Grandstand seats
are not too good for the boys in blue
or khaki. There are always plenty
of seats at our ball parks. The serv-
icS men are we'll behaved, and. better
than that, they know baseball inside
and out.
Salaries Are Net Large.
The salaries OF the men in Uncle
SANS livery are not large. They
Lardly admit Of much baseball at
major league prices.
Connie Mack made a good begin
ming last summer by allowing any
fan buying a ticket to take in with
him free OF charge a man in uniform.
The drawback to this scheme, though.
was that It compelled many soldiers
and sailors to brace utter strangers
for the privilege OF Watching a ball
game.
Talking patriotism is simple, but
acting IL is a horse OF a different
color. The two major leagu,s. by
adopting such a policy at their meet
inEs this week, will be showing, not
merely talking, their patriotism.
