General Sporting Notes.

Home run clouts in the initial games
in the major leagues are seldom accom-
plished. Men who made the round trip
were Hoblitzell of the Red Sox, Dell and
Luderus of the Phillies, Veach of Detroit
and Schalk of the Chicago Americans.
Steve Yerkes, at one time with the
Red Sox, and a star second baseman
with the Boston team in 1912 when Jake
Stahl won the championship, has had an
up and down career since he drlited
from the Boston team. Several times
since he left Boston he has been in the
minor leagues and would be taken back
by some major league, but the other day
the Cubs sent him back to the minors,
he going to Indianapolis of the American
association. Yerkes will probably never
play big league ball again, as he has
been actually slowing up to such an ex-
tent that it has become very noticeable.
Cutshaw of Brooklyn was the only
second baseman TO play the entire sehed-
ule of l54 games last season. Cltshaw
is one of the regulars who never plays
aggressively enough to be injured, but
still there are few men playing second
base to-day who can slip much over the
old second sacker of the Robins.
The Giants appear to be over grown
kids. Since the little fracas which Cobb
and Herzog INDUCED in few weeks
back, the members of the Giants sent
cards to Cobb as souvenirs and when the
Giants and Tigers parted company each
man sent Cobb a postcard telling him he
could rejoin his team as they would not
bother him any longer.
1t is rumored that Foil of the Cleve-
lands is after Cady of the Red Sox to
catch Joe Wood Cady and Joe used to

Baseball has gained foothold in Eng
land and after the war the English viii
probably take it up as a major pastime.
The game worked its way into Great
Britain when the Canadian troops, who

ago, played it as a part of their training
before going to France. To-day, the
game is played in all the recruiting
camps of England and is gaining rapidly

Washington, April l4.-~A campaign to
have the governors of every state in the
union designate the days between April
10 and May Is as Planting Month"; and
urge every citizen to start garden dur
ing that period, was inaugurated by the

Letters from Joseph II. Colt, chairman
of the board of trustees of the society,
were on the desk of every senator and
congressman, urging them to write the
governor of their respective states to
take such action by proclamation.
The crops of nation must be mo-
bilized now" Colt said "The need for
conservation of our food supply for flu
ture use OF our fighting men and those
at home is vital. The farm labor short
age is such now that it is a menace to
the nation. The United States should
take immediate steps-by compulsion if
necessary-to line up its citizens for
agricultural work"

And so he is, thanks to the new com
bination of purifying and building up
treatment embodied in Hoods Sarsa-
parilla and Peptiron Pills.
Mr.. Remington is one of the best
known men in the state, having been for
81 years in the State House in Boston
as Senate Doorkeeper and Sergeant
Arms.
He says he had annoying symptoms
about the heart, stomach and digestive
organs, His old friend, Senator George
L. Putnam, of Lowell, urged him to take
course of Hoods Sarsaparilla and Pept-
iron Pills, which he did, and now,-"I
never felt better in all my life. | can
walk from my house down town and
back, | u miles each way"
These medicines are obtainable from
every druggist. Why not begin this
sensible treatment yourself today ADV.

VESSELS THAT

At Once to Carry on Trade
with the Entente
Allies

Washington, April l4-Plans to re-
lease for government use many coast
wise vessels on both the Atlantic and Pa
cifc seaboards are under way among the
chief railroads
Through the council of national de.
Tense, the government has requested the
roads so to rcarrangc their schedules and
facilities as to permit the release of vir.
tually all vessels in coastwise trade to
the government.
Many of the ships thus released prob
ably would be used in the transportation
OF foodstuffs and supplies to the allies
pending the construction of the govern
ment's fleet of wooden vessels
Steamships operating on the Great
Lakes also will be used for the same
purpose. The definite offer of aid from
this source came yesterday from w, j.
Connors of Buffalo, n. Y, who controls
50 vessels on the lakes. Mr.. Conner
called at the White Iiouse and upon
the shipping board to say that six yes
sells of his fleet will be available for
ocean going traffic. He also said that
four of the Lehigh Valley railroads YES
sells in operation on the lakes could be
use for the same purpose.
A sizeable fleet for the trans Atlantic
trade, officials believe could be obtained
quickly by taking over the chief coast
wise vessels plying out of New York TO
New England, southern and gulf ports.
On the Pacific there are only a few yes
sells available for this trade.

ate at its maximum efficiency without

TO BE ABOLISHED.
Passing of Women's Night Court in New

New York, April 1.-THE women's
night court in this city is to be abol-

A bill passed by the legislature leaves
the holding of night court to the dis

of all the magistrates is that night ses-

SEEK CONTROL OF EXPORTS.
Legislation to Give President Power Over
Necessities Suggested.

Washington, April l4.-Legislation to
give the president power to limit and
control exports during the war when
Congress is not in session was suggested
to President Wilson yesterday by Secre-
tary Redfeld. Although holding that
embargoes are hurtful to both the coun-
try's foreign and domestic commerce, Sec
rotary Redfeld believes a situation may
arise making it necessary to guide the
country's export trade. The remedy of
threatened food shortage in the United
States lies not in an embargo, Secretary
Redfeld said, but solely in increased pro-
duction. Giving the government firm
er grasp on foreign trade would, he be-
lieves, prepare the country to feed and
supply itself in event production fails.

 They knew that in undertaking the work he was making personal sacrifice They knew that a great corporation retaining his services for an enter prise immeasurably less important would pay him a great deal more than they proposed. But General Goethas told, rejected the offer and insisted fixing his salary at S15000 year.

 The man who has greatness thrust upon him puts up a weak defense. About the only time some people stick to their colors is when they show the white flag.
 A philanthropist gives away lots but the real estate boomer is seldom a philanthropist.
