SUPPLY or FOOD ANIMALS
HAS GREATLY DECREASED
SINCE BEGINNING OF WAR

The live stock industry IN all It's
branches deserves the most serious
attention in the southwest ut this
time" said X. J. Parker, General
Manager of Western lines of the San
ta Fe railway system, while discussing
the food situation today.
According to government statistics
there is a total decrease Of l5,005 900
head in the worlds supply Of food
animals since the war started. Cattle
in the United States increased 7,09O,-
900 head during this period, but the
world supply of cattle decreased 49,
OsO,OO head. Sheep decreased in the
United States 100000 head and for
the world $4,000, 900 head. This in
crease in hogs in the United States
was G,275,000 head. but the net de-
crease in the general hog supply was
32,425 900 head.
while the war goes on it Is likely
that the lessening in the number Of
meat animals will continue. As men
continue to be taken away from pro-
ductive industry, the growing OF feed
crops may decrease which in turn
limits the p' 'oduction Of live stock.
The higher pr.ces now being paid for
meat animals, due largely to heavy
demand for meats for army rations,
are sending cattle and hogs to mar
ket before fully matured. The mar
kcting Of calves, as an instance, has
been unusua.y = heavy this year.
"Ihe government recognizes the
serious condition of the meat supply
and has. therefore. created board
known as the United States Live
Stock Industry Committee. Exper-
fenced and well informed live stock
men from all sections Of the country
have been named on this committee
and we have every reason to expect q
practical nation wide campaign to
conserve and expand the live stock
industry in ali its forms. In the
southwest, so essentially live stocl
section, this committee will no doub
receive hearty cooperation.
AT this time" Mr.. Parker continu
ed, ~ wish to lay stress on the i'm
portancc Of carefully saving the fce'
crops now growing on the farms, TO
use in the feed lot or for winterinl
live stock. The farm grown forag
may be turned to advantage in fat
tening and wintering cattle and shee
raised on grass on the range and i
pastures. No forage or of-grade ha
must be wasted. The nation need
more meat.
"The southwest has advanced s
greatly the last few years that
should be ready for extensive feedin
operations.a general increase In dairy
ing. and 4 material expansion Of III
hog industry. The Santa Fe will b
ready TO carry the products b mark'
promptly. as II Is doing its utmo'

vice.
"In facs," Mr.. Parker concludes
"this seems to be q very opportur

Weakness of Railroad Shares Featur-
 ed the Short Session.


 New York, May s.-Weakness of rail- road shares. which were again in free supply at substantial concessions, fea- tured today's highly professional mar ket some of those issues recording lower quotations than for many years. There was no news to account for the increasing pressure upon these stocks, which included many of the minor western and southwestern groups
 IndustriaIs were at first inclined to make up part of their recent losses but the lack of support in rails proved too strong to overcome. the list closing with a heavy tone, except in metals and a few of the speculative special ties.
 Predictions regarding adverse bank statement were fulfilled only in part, the actual cash loss of slightly more than $40, o,O0o. .00o being less than that estimated in conservative quart ers The heavy transfers of money during the week to local federal re- serve banks were reflected in an in crease of almost $23. .o00. 900 in federal reserves. Loans contra cted more than SS3, 900, ,0oC. but the greatest change was shown in demand deposits which decreased by more than s113,- GOO, 900.

RAIN UPSET WEEKS SCHEDULE
In Spite of Poor Weather Conditions Good Baseball Was PIayed-Vaugh and Toney Set Up New Record-Giants and Robins Played Thriller-Tie in American League Broke Up.

New York. May 6.-Cold and rainy weather played havoc with the major leagues this past week. Twenty four games, eleven in the National and thirteen in the American. were post poned to be played later mostly in double headers.
 Despite, however, the rain-soalked grounds. some good baseball was shown, especially on Wednesday and which brought forth probably the best pitching of the year. Vaughn of Chicago and Toney of Cincinnati. set nine innings without allowing the op- posing batsmen a hit or run. Vaughn weakened in the tenth and Cincinnati won the game. 1 to o. on two singles, the only hits of the contest. Both pitchers had brilliant speed.
 At the Polo Grounds. the same day, New York and Brooklyn battled through fourteen innings to a 2-2 tie, the second extra inning tie game for Brooklyn in two weeks. Ames, pitching for St. Louis. held Pittsburgh to two hits. winning by to 6.
 In the American there were two shutouts by scores of to Q. Fischer helped New York to beat Washington, with Johnson in the box. and Dauss pitched pitched Detroit to victory over St. Louis.

ern teams when the western { teams come east this week. Philadelphia and Brooklyn did not loss game and improved their positions at the ex- pense of Boston which fell to seventh place, and New York which did not win a game.
 The tie for first place in the Ameri- can was broken and Boston, which took two games from Philadelphia, now has a commanding lead over Chi cago, which failed to keep up it's pre- vious good gait and lost three out of four games. New York held on to third place while breaking even in a four game series with Washington. St. Louis climbed from sixth to fourth place and is right behind New York. The Browns won three out of four games and made the first triple play of the season at the expense of Cleve land May. Philadelphia fell back but Detroit showed a flash of it's theoretical strength and came through the week with a clean slate.
 The eastern teams in the American League will begin their first western invasion on May 10. the day after the National Intersectional games begin, and on the result of these struggles the pennant prospects of some teams may depend.

SPEAKER AND J. SMITH
 LEADERS IN BATTING
Ty Cobb Ranks Tenth in List in the
 American League.

Ty Cobb. for nine straight years the champion swatter Of organized base ball, stirred up a whole lot of trouble for himself last season when he per mitted Iris Speaker to rob him of his batting crown.
 The first taste of undisputed power star centre fielder to such a degree have the time of his life to get back into the fight for his lost Iaurels. Speaker is leading the American League batters with the fine average of .426. Cobb is tenth on the list, with for him-the Da1try mark of .315.
 Of course. it may be argued that the season is still young. But hereto fore Speaker, J. Franklin Baker. of the Yankees, has been a slow starter. Cobb usually got off in front and set the pace all the way. Fans are wonder ing if he has the nerve and courage 10 make fight from behind.
 Ren1a rkabIe as has been the hitting pace of Speaker. the king of batters has been forced to take a back seat from no less than two National National League hitters. J Smith, substitute player of the Cardinals. who has made nine hits in seventeen times jor field. with an avera ge of .529.
 Eddie Rousch. the Cincinnati gard ener. who was with the Giants year ago. has proven so far to be the best hitting regular player of the two ma ior leagues. In twelve full games Roush, despite an injury that inca pacitated him ten days. has been able to deliver a .429 punch, three points better than that of even the great Speaker.
 The Giants have three regular play CTS in the 300 class and the Yankees two. George Burns, who Is most closely pressing Roush. has hit for
