Old=Tinle Stars of Diamond
Pass With Close of ~ Season

Az an aftermath Of the baseball sea-
son just passed it is not amiss to con-
slider some Of the really greats of the
game who passed out with the PEN
nant race.
Scarcely a year has passed that
some Of the old time veterans OF
many battles have passed in their
keys never to punch the ball park
timsclock again.
The season just passed sees the re-
drement from the game of two, per-
haps three Of the greatest performers
Of the hast decade.
Eddie Plank, hero Of many seasons,
retired this year, almost in mid-sea-
son when he felt himself slipping.
There were several good games left in
Plank's southpaw arm, but he refus-
ed to remain in the game when he
knew he was not at his best.
Honus Wagner, who after ahhounc-
ing his retirement last fall and came
back into the game at the request Of
Barney Dreyfuss, did not finish the
season and probably v will play
again.
Wagner really did not want to get
into the harness this year, but felt he
was needed when the club made such
q miserable showing and went into
the game against his wi wishes.
Even Wagner was unable to put
much pep into the collection of i'm
posstbles Dreyfuss had banded togeth-
er and late in the season left the club.
1t 10 practically certain he will
wea a monkey suit" again.
The last of the trio is Wahoo Sam
Crawford, a big leasua favorite for
almost two decades.
No announcement has been made
of Crawford's retirement, but his rec
ord last rear shows that he is about
through and the infrequency with
which Jennings used him indicates
that the Detroit pilot will not be will
ing to separate himself from a lot of
cash to keep him on the payroll in
1918. That any other club will buy
Crawford also seems improbable.
Crawford's retirement would be one

No less man that Herbert Hoover, the man in charge Of aft foods lin the United
States is authority for the statementt that the United States needs greater pro

In a recent dispatch from Washington MI. Hoover is quoted as follows:
Food" said Mr.. Hoover, "hs since the war began, gradually assumed a
larger place in the economics, the craftsmanship and the strategy of var
fae1 Among other things-"all governments ire faced with the necessi
ty for stimulation Of production"
There has com about not only a limitation of supplies, but a accumu-
1ahon in inaccessible markets The result of these cumulative forces is
that North America is called upon, by both allies and neutrals for quaint
ties of food far beyond its normal ability. -
If the extremely high prices laundering at every door we're not a sufi-
Gent demonstration it is possible, by actual figures, to prove that w have
been exporting nm many commodities actually beyond our capacity to pro-

of the really pathetic incidents Of
baseball for many years.
Sam has long cherished an ambition
to gather a total Of 5000 hits during
his diamond career.
His goal was in view at the start Of
the season when he needed less thaH
100 to reach that mark. His poor
work with the stick, however, has
kept him from realizing this ambition
and it is doubtful whether he will
yer have another opportunity.
There's another name which might
be casually mentioned in this onnec
don-Johnny Evers.
The peppery little Trojan. is almost
through. His high-priced contracts
expired this fall and IL he does play
mex year it must be at a much lower
figure than he has received for years.
He may refuse to do this and retire.
