DIRECTORS ARE Named
FOR LOCAL BALL CLUB
Mike Moran Willing to Report to Au-
gusta1Corporaf Dean Here.

The board Of directors of the Washing
ton Baseball Club OF the American
League met yesterday in the office OF
the club in the Southern Building. The
directors Of the club for this season were
appointed and the business Of last season
closed.
One new director was appointed on the
board of seven. The board that will gov
ern the financial affairs Of the Nationals
this season are President Benjamin S
Minor. Vice President Rudolph Kauf-
man. Secretary Edward J. Walsh. Treas
urer Harry Rapley, Manager Clark Z.
Griffith. Michael T. Keane and Thornton
c. ChesIey.
Although the fans on the inside track
expected TO see some shake-up among
the big stockholders, no important busi-
ness transactions occurred. and no news
of the business transa cted at the meeting
was given out.
The report that was circulated in local
fandom that Mike Moran, the Washing
ton sandlotter. who was turned over to
the Augusta club of the South Atlantic
League had refused to report to the
Dixie tribe, was yesterday denied by the
local boy. Mike stands ready to report
when the Old Fox issues the notice that
he must go.
Moran has a grand chance Of coming
tack into the big show because of his
ability to WELD the willow and the Old
Fox is shooting him to President kalb-
neisch's club with a string attached to
him.
The Old Fox last night denied the story
from Wilmington that the Baltimore club
was dickering for the services of Joe
Judge. as he claims that for the present
he intends to keep Judge on the initial
corner.
The Little Corporal F. H. Dean. l.
S. A. who drilled the athletes OF the Ma
tionals in military drills at the Augusta
training camp. arrived here last night
and will put the boys through the first
drill that the squad has held since the
getaway at training camp on March %.
Cuba" Acosta wired the Old Fox that
he would report for the morning practice
today. Acosta has been detained at his
home on the island because of the re-
cent revolution, as his father was one OF
the generals among the Cuban rebels.

GRIFF'S YANNIGANS
Trim RAILROADERS
Nationals Youngsters Defeat w.. B. &
A. Club 5 to 3.

Clark Griffith slipped one over on local
baseball fans yesterday when he issued
a hurried call during the afternoon Yam
nisan-Regular battle, and hustled his
peppery youngsters by taxi-cab route to
Union League Park, to battle the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway
club. George Mcbride piloted the kids"
to the grounds at Fifteenth and H street
northeast, and seven inning contest was
staged against the Railroaders, in which
Ihe Yannigans landed the long end of a
5-to-S count
Jimmy Shaw toed the mound for the
fannigans. Although touched I'D for
eight safe blows by the Railroaders, he
Kept the hits we'll scattered and it was
not until the final session that the Naval
Academy crew were able to cross the
counting block.
Al Ehmllng. who last season pitched
with the Chambersburg club of the Blue
Ridge League, worked the first four inn
lngs and was nicked for seven hits ana
five tallies. "Finney" Kelly pitched the
last three innings against the Griffmen
and made creditable showing as two
safe blows were all the Nationals young
sters could obtain while the curye-ball
artist was in the center of the diamond.
Howard Shanks' timely walIops paved
the way for quartet Of the Nationals

GEORGETOWN MEETS
LAFAYETTE TODAY

Georgetown today will meet probably
one of the strongest teams that is on
the Blue and Grays 1917 baseball sched-
ule, when they take on Lafayette Uni
versity at o'clock on the Hilltop.
The Pennsylvanians are conceded
throughout the East to have one of the
fastest asgregations that has represent
ed the Easton school in years.
Coach John O'Reilly in all probability
will start either Breslin or Murray, with
the chances favoring the latter. Murray
in his last two times out has performed
in a very creditable manner and right
now is going at top speed.
The Georgetown players are brimfuI
of confidence since their win over Le-
high yesterday and are determined to
add another victory to their string.

TELLS WHY FOOD
HIGHER IN PRICE
New York Health Department
Says Intelligent Buying
Would Help Some.
NO SUDDEN EMERGENCY

New York, Feb. 26.-Enoromus in
crease in the expectation of staple
articles of food without a correspond
ing increase in production and lack of
intelligent economy in buying by
housewives, are ascribed by the de-
partment of health of this city. in a
report issued tonight, as the chief rea-
sons for steadily increasing prices.
The department declared there
does not appear to be any sudden or
recently developed emergency in the
food situation in this CITY," although
there has been serious rioting in vari-
Gus parts of the city.
While the report asserts there is
obviously less dependency and real
need than has been common for many
years past" it also says, at is ap-
parent that unless the present high
prices of food are reduced or con-
trolled, or as an alternative the income
of families which now maintain them
selves on $500 year or less is in
creased by raise of wages or through
relief agencies, there will be a con-
stantly-increasinG number of people
whose health will be jeopardized by
their inability to buy sufficiently nour-
ishing food at the present prices"
Boycott on Kosher Places.
Cincinnati, O., Feb. ga boycott
on all Kosher Butcher shops in the
city, to take effect next Wednesday,
was declared tonight by an executive
committee appointed at mass meet
ing of Jewish people.
1t was reported to the meeting that
the Kosher butchers are paying from
l0H cents to l3h cents a pound for
meat wholesale and selling it for 20
cents per pound.
To Close Shops.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 25.---At a
mass meeting, called by the Kosher
Butchers association today, a vote
was taken on the question whether
the butchers should charge "a and 26
cents a pound for Kosher beef or
close their shops. The unanimous de-
cision was CLOSE your shops" Ac-
cordingly it was announced that none
of the 400 members would sell meat
unless the price is reduced to %
cents a pound.
At the same meeting, it was de-
cided to declare School strike"
Most of those present said they would
not permit their children to attend
school because they are too weak
from lack of proper food to study and
attend classes"
