ROUGH PLAY PASSED
 BY JOHNSON IN LAST ENCOUNTERS OF YEAR.

They can't accuse President Ban Johnson of putting the lid of repres- sion on the turbulent Red Sox and White Sox. He is letting them go the limit and the fans probably ap- prove of it. A bunch of Red Sox players staged row in Cleveland and got off without suspension Then in Chicago Bader and Gainer of the champions had a regular knockdown with Gandill of the White Sox. President Johnson turned his back and the players concerned escaped. When there is a race on like that between the sox of different colors outbreaks may be pardoned. The players feel the strain.

JENNINGS LANDS GOOD PITCHER IN
 WESTERN LEAGUE.

It looks like Hughie Jennings finally has landed pitcher Of the first water. He is Rudolph Kallio, who was purchased by the Detroit Americans from the Des Moines club of the Western League, but will not report until next spring. Kallio has topped the twirlers of the Western League this season. He has won two-thirds of his games and for his first twenty-four games his opponents scored thirty-six earned runs, an average of only 1.54 a game. In his string of vic tories are ten shutouts.

National League
WEST LOOMS UP IN BASEBALL SPOTLIGHT.

With the present lineups of clubs in the major leagues from which to take bearings, it begins to look more and more as if the West is ready to take some of the pep out of the East.
 With new, poppy clubs gracing the National League roster in Gin cinnati and St. Louis, and with Fred Mitchell making motions like regular manager, the old one, two three order of teams in the East, which has prevailed since Fred Clarke and Frank Chance ceased to build championship win ners, appears ready for the discard.
 And in the American League the same restiveness is asserting itself. Detroit has been factor for To- these many years, so hardly can be counted stronger than the Tigers started the season. Cleveland, how ever, is perking up so fast with its young pitchers, hard hitters and close defense that more than ordi- nary attention is going to be cen tered this winter on the antics ol Lee Fohl.
 The White Sox will have to bo counted as factor again in 1918 The club is comparatively young and is holding up well. Unless wrecked by the war, the White Hosed gang will be right around there when the reckoning comes.
 The Cardinals and Reds, however will get the fearsome eye from ri val National Leaguers when they start the 1918 chase.

according TO an undated article in the
Times from a correspondent in thar
country. The article refers briefly but
not exclusively to Petrograd and Mos

enough food in Russia to supply the
entire population for two years. but,
owing to the inadequacy of the rail-
roads, the lack of organization and CO.
ordination in distribution. the people in
some districts find it difficult and even
impossible to get supplies.
The people Of Petrograd have to
stand in line for many hours to obtain
meat. bread. milk. ssgar and vegeta-
bIes. The thermometer in the capital
is sometimes 20 below zero.
