MAY POOL PLAYERS
Drafting Ball Players May Rob Some
Teams of Their Stars.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-Pooling of both
gate receipts and players in the
American league next season may be-
come necessary in order to avoid
shortening the schedule and reduc-
ing salaries to a five months basis, ac-
cording to President Charles A. Comis-
key, of the White Sox.
Pooling of players may become
imperative to preserve anything like
equality in playing strength he said.
IF the forthcoming draft for the ma
tional army take half a dozen regu-
lars away from one or two teams, one
or two stars from others and none at
all from some clubs, the result would
be a runaway pennant race which
would rob the sport of all public in
terest early in the season."

ARMY GAME AT X. C.
Funston Stars and Great Lakes Naval
Team Play Saturday.

Camp Funston, Kan, Nov. 10
Camp Funston is counting the minutes
between now and the time the first
whistle announcing the game between
the bootball teams of the Eighty ninth
division and the Great Lakes naval
training station is blown in Kansas
City next Saturday. The team coached
by Lieut.. Paul Wilmington, director OF
athletics, is bulwarked by two men for
almost every position and there IS
none here who can see anything but
victory in the final score.
For the first time in the history of
the game in the Missouri Valley play
ers of Kansas and Missouri univeri-
ties will be aligned in the same direc-
ton, striving for the same end-to
plant the ball across the navy goal
line.
A general order, issued when the
first of the drafted men went into
training, forbids gambling. else many
months pay of many a man in olive
drab would be wagered on next Sat
urday afternoons contest Hundreds
of soldiers have applied for leaves of
absence for that day, with the inten-
ton of occupying seats in the Camp
bleachers at Association park.
The team itself is in condition that
will allow no alibis. Stankowski and
Prince, two strong cogs in the With
ington machine, are just out of quar-
antine and showing up with their old
brilliancy in practice. Side by side
with Stankowski will be ''Jick" Fast
and Lindsay of last years Kansas

TOPEKA 3. ST. JOE 0
Local Highs Take Another Hitch on
Missouri Valley Championship.

Topeka's pretensions to the Kansas
and Missouri Valley high school
championship were strengthened Sat
urday afternoon at League park when
the local highs humbled the heavy St
Joseph team to the tune of to 0.
Playing fiercely from the opening
whistle the Topeka players forced the
ball deep into St. Joe territory before
the game was fairly under way. TAX
ing no chances on being defeated,
Bearg's proteges promptly scored via
the air route, Lindelis toe furnishing
the impetus that sent the ball between
the goal posts for the only score of
the game.
Except for a short time in the open
ing quarter the oval was in Topeka
territory thruout the game. st. Joe
was unable to make consistent gains
thru the line and was forced to resort
to open play. Time and again St. Joe
came within striking distance, only to
lose the ball on downs. Lindell of
Topeka was the individual star of the
game, his punts averaging 40 yards
and being of the twisting variety.
Topeka high school has not been
defeated this season and after the
game Saturday her claims to the state
high school championship cannot be
ignored.

Philadelphia, Nov 19.-PennsyI-
vania gave Michigan a big surprise
Saturday and defeated the Western
football eleven, 16 to o. It was a hard,
bitterly fought game in which good
and bad football was mixed by both
sides. The defeat was Michigan's first
this year, she having won all eight
games previously played. Michigan
followers felt confident of victory par
ticularly after Michigan's one-sided
score against Cornell. Fullback How
ard Berry, the college Penthalon
champion, was easily the hero of the
game. He scored ten of Pennsylvan-
las points. out-punted Michigan's
kicker and was in the thick of nearly
all plays. He made three field goals
in five attempts and also kicked a goal
from touchdown. He was also a mar
vel in running with the ball.

KEEP BUSINESS NORMAL
(By r. O. Schaefer)

1t was obviously not the intention
of the President of the United States,
when he sent the Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture, Carl Vrooman, on a
tour of the South with a warning
against food shortage, to bring on
business depression or halt enter
prise.
While the warning was necessary to
try but to the success of our allies
against Germany, none will contend
that the immediate result has not
been to send food prices soaring still
higher and to brighten the masses of
the people with visions of ensuing
hard times Business men have been
affected more or less with fervor
for caution and conservatism. The
effect on business has not been good,
although the very opposite should be
the case.
1t seems that the emphasis has been
laid toe much on the famine side of
the food shortage question and not
enough on the reward in store for the
production of food.
The greater part, perhaps all, Of TIE
tremendously large war loan of sew n
billion dollars to the allies vii be eX-
pended right here in the United Sta
ties. 1t is credit that has been trans
ferred across the waters-not mon
ey. Purchasing power has been loan
ed and the money stays right in this
country to be exchanged for our pro-
ducts.
1t is hardly likely that the nanu-
facturers of the North have been
thrown into a state of depression by
President Wilson's address, in which
he said that the world faces a sh ,rt
age of locomotives, minerals, boa1s
and other articles that can be menu
featured in enormous quantities to
supply that shortage, with seven bill
lion dollars waiting ready money to
pay the bill. Why should the South
not consider the matter of food short
age from the sellers standpoint as
well as from the point of view of the
patriotic citizen, inasmuch as the two
attitudes are non-contiieting, 1t is to
the credit of the South that we first
responded to the Presidents appeal as
patriots without thought of gain, the
such was to be expected. The fact,
remains, however, that the South can
produce an enormous supply of a COM
modity-food-fo which there is an
unprecedented world demand, and we
have not yet been called upon to pro-
duce this food as a donation. The
money is ready to pay for it when

TOO MANY APPLICATIONS
Enlistments For Officers Training
Camp So Great That Elm
nation is Necessary

The great patriotism manifested
throughout the country has led to a
flood of applications for admittanee
to the training camps opening May Is
for training reserve officers.
The War Department designated
two camps for the Southern Depart
ment; one to be held at Fort Logan II .
Roots, near Little Rock, Arkansas,
and the other at Leon Springs, near
San Antonio, Texas.
In order to give everyone who de-
sired to do SO, an opportunity to make
application to attend one of these
camps, publicity was given to their
organization through the public press
War Department instructions gov
erning the organization of these
camps fixed the maximum limit of
$500 for each. Of this number 15O
are reserved for men who will be
specially trained as reserve officers of
the Engineers Corps, thus leaving
$3.50 to be trained for Infantry, Calv-
airy, Field Artillery and Coast AR
| tiilery
War Department instructions fur
! Their provided that officers should be
designated to examine those who de-
sired to enter the camps, the purpose
| being to insure that those only were
admitted, who gave evidence of pos
sessing the necessary qualifications
and for the further purpose of making
selections from the above; those best
qualified being given preference
The rush of applicants to appear be
fore the examining officers has been
so great that it was found impossible
to check the enlistments just at the
pont when the authorized number had
been secured. 1t has, therefore, been
necessary to eliminate from these
first camps some of those who were
passed by the examining officers.
A great many applications are
still being received at Department
Headquarters from men who are
keenly anxious to enter the service.
So great has been the rush of appli-
cants that it has been found i'm
possible to reply to many, as the
work of organizing the camps must
have preference.
The War Department has stated
that other camps will follow, and it
is believed that all those who are dis
appointed by not being admitted to
those commencing May 10Th will wait
patiently for theorgaization of the
next ones Lists will be kept of
those whom it has been necessary to
exclude from the present camps and
preference will be given them in con-
sidering applications for succeeding
camps.
