WAR CALL
MAY END
LEAGUE
Baseball Would Suffer in
Event of Actual Call
to Arms

Will the Northwestern
league, and other baseball
circuits throughout the coun-
try, continue to play ball i'm
face of one of the most seri-
GUS crises this country has
ever experienced?
This is the question asked
everywhere today. Whether 1t
would be good sportsmanship for
the country to continue with its
games and amusements in its
usual light-hearted custom, while
the rest of the young men are
fighting a national enemy, is be-
ing debated keenly.
There Is a good chance
that the Northwestern league
will not play ball, II actual
war starts. The league di-
rectors, meeting in Spokane
few weeks ago, discussed the
war possibility and decided
that IL would be poor sports
manship and equally bad busi-
ness to attempt to play ball
IL war is declared.
Russ Hall of the Tigers has re-
peatedly asserted that he did not
think it would be proper for the
league to continue.
The Pacific Coast league Is
starting today, but the opening of
the season could scarcely have
been postponed on such short
notice as that of a war call this
morning.
Many Of the eastern leagues
have shown their intention of
ceasing operations in case of war.
1t is remembered here how bit
terly the football players of Eng
land were assailed a year or two
ago for continuing their sports
while their nation was at war.
While the country trembles on
the verge of war, the Northwest
ern league continues to prepare
for the opening of the season. But
all interest In baseball is over
Swallowed by the bigger news.
1t is probable that a spe-
cial league meeting will be
held shortly, to decide wheth-
or or not the season should
open as planned.

Tacoma Scrapper Says
He Has a Chance to
Box Australian

JOE BONDS, Taeoma's light
heavyweight boxer, may get a
crack at Les Darcy, the Australian
bloomer.
In letter received by Paul
Steele today, Bonds said that he
had received an offer to box eth
er Darcy or Jack Dillon at Mem
phis, Tenn, this month. He said
that he had accepted the offer and
had wired for railroad tickets, but
had not yet been notified which
man had been matched with him.
Bonds said he would rather meet
Darcy.
Bonds boxed Morris in Mem
phis last fall and made a hit with
the fight fans of that city. He
plans to start for the Pacific coast
in May, taking the trip by easy
stages and picking up matches on
the way.

Weary from a long days

Sunday with a party of
friends, decided to sit down
and rest. Not to miss any of
the fishing, however, he prop
ped his rod against the crotch

Hardly had Frank turned
his head when there was a

middle of the river was his
rod, ploughing upstream like
a submarine, and a trout that
measured anywhere from IA
to 20 inches, was towing 1t.
Billy Kuchera, Charles
Farmer and Louie Peach, who
accompanied Isley, advised
him to either tie his rod to
his wrist next time, or leave
his 2O-day shipment at home.

In one instance a motorist stopped al
a farmhouse to fill the radiator of his
automobile. In the course of cOnver-
sation he casually inquired whether the
farmers family was canning all the
surplus fruits and vegetables in order
to help conserve the food supply. He
was Informed that the farmer was not
doing this because the government IN
tended to take all the canned goods ex-
cept a small part of it actually needed
by the family itself.
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been con-
templated by the government. On the
contrary, both the department of agri-
culture and the food administration are
strongly urging housewives to can and
preserve, especially at this time, all sur
