YANKEES ARE FEARED
Manager of White SOx Says They
Are Most Formidable Team.
Young and Peppery Team Represent
ing New York viii Cause Leaders
More Trouble Than Any of
Others in Pennant Race,

Clarence Rowland declares the New
York Yankees appear 10 him to be the
most formidable team the American
league holds-aSide from the White
SoX. He believes that if his team gets
away to q league championship this
year II viii be done with the Yankees
trailing them into the home stretch.
Strangely, Rowland does not count
the Red SoX formidable in the least.
The early season ride they had ut the
top of the American league. he holds,
was merely a flash. He shares the
opinion of other managers IN the Amer
lean league in declaring that when
double-headers begin to tear into the
Red SOX the pitching stan of the Hub
representatives viii begin 70 falter.
The loss of Bin Carrigan is also GO
ing to have an effect, Rowland be-
lieves, and he declares change in
ownership can't possibly have i'm
proved the teams chances. Carrigan,
he maintains while not the best catch
err in the world, was the one man who
could get sterling results out of Dutch
Leonard's work and do it consistently.
He has plenty of praise for Jack Barry
as manager, but incliues to the be-
lief that a baseball club nj it's best al
ways must have associations with its
manager for several years as a mana
ger before things can run exactly right.
The team that represents New York
in the American league, young and
poppy Rowland declares. will cause
more trouble than any Of the others.
Bill Donovan's young pitchers, mixed
in with plenty of excellent veterans,

-AY-0FF WILL HELP MINORS
Suspension Of Schedules Is Probably
Best Thing That Could Have
Happened to Them.

The suspension Of schedules by It
number Of the minor leagues is prob
ably the best thing that could have
happened for them under existing con
diti0ns.
Population in the minor league
cities is comparatively small If you
count the baseball fans alone. and in
war time the tendency to conserve
finances Is greater in the small cities
and towns than ia cities Of the first
class. In addition to this. tine base

large enough 10 keep d bah club runs

For the lack Of this the Moor league

IF YOU WANT TO ENLIST
YOU CAN DO SO NOW

There has been a change made in
the age limit OF enlistment in the
United States army according to in
formation cleaned from press ad-
vices today. The age limit has been
changed from 18 to 35 to is to 40.
War quickens the instinct Of chi
vairy that is in most men ii wary
ing degrees Of dormancy. Generos-
ity is one CT the truest attributes of
courage. Men who ga to the firing
line are made by the danger they
expose themselves to more susceptl:-
bic to this influence, but even those
who stay at home ought not to be
altogether impervious. A nation in
the mass ought to act more chival-
rously when it is at war than when
it is not. The opportunity to prac-
tice chivalry will not be wanting
fo,. those of US who stay at home.
There is one way in which all of US
can practice it. This is by showing
something more than the wonted
courtesy to all Germans with whom
we come in contact. Either they are
citizens or guests of the country.
If citizens, they deserve to be ex-
empt from suspicion so long as they
refrain from doing anything to
awaken it; and if guests, they are
entitled to it by the laws of h6spi-
tality so long as they do not abuse
hospitality. To make derogatory re-
marks about Germans or otherwise
act extensively toward them is not
an exhibition of patriotism. 1t is an
exhibition of hoodlumism, which in
lures the cause it is meant to help.
The man who stoops to this method
of showing his patriotism is very apt
to be one of the class which would
be first caught by conscription
law; that is, they are men whose
patriotism is not Of the quality that
urges them to enlist.-News.

discount your bills or must have it
to tide you over the dull season, the
bank will want to know what you
have done to make your creditors
safe in case your light should go
out before the note is due. No wise
man is going to lend you dollar if
you cannot convince him that you
are provident and you cannot con-
vince him with your tongue; you
must show him something in black
and white. And there is nothing in
black and white that will make a
deeper impression than first-class

more to inspire confidence, and

Two hundred men and boys slGnl-
fled by their presence at rlaSs
meeting at the City Hall Tuesday
night that they are awake to the
war situation in which their country
is now involved. When the call for
volunteers to become members Of
the St. Mary Guards was issued
eleven young men responded and
the list has grown considerably
since the meeting closed last night.
Mayor M. D. Shannon stated brief
~ the object Of the meeting. He
was followed by Postmaster Het e-t
and Mr.. C. L. Wise in forcefu, pre-
sentations of the need for enlist
ment, the cause for the call that
has gone forth and statements as to
the method Of enlistment and the
enlistment routine. Stress was es-
pecially laid by the speakers on the
conscription bill now before Con-
gress and the greater advantages
and honor to be enjoyed by volun-
tears in a local company over the
enforced service which will obtain
under the draft regulations. 1t was
pointed out that it is better to go
into training with friends and nei-
ghbors in a volunteer company than
to await conscription and be scat
tered to the branches of the service
where one is entirely with strangers

CHEERS AND WAVING FLAGS
IN PARTING SALUTE FOR
BOYS WHO VOLUNTEERED.

The advance guard Of recruits
from Morgan City since the declara-
tion of war with Germany, compris-
ing twelve young men of Morgan
City and vicinity, boarded No. 10
yesterday for the army station at
NeW Orleans midst cheers, and
tears and flying flags. A great
crowd gathered to extend adieus
and to show the appreciation the
community is experiencing in the
steps taken by the departing youths
who have answered their country's
call. Eight of the number enrolled
Monday are members of the Morgan
City Volunteer Fire Department
From guardians of the community
lives and property they have advan-
ced to guardians of the national in
tegrity. AS volunteer firemen they
have been of wonderful worth to
Morgan City and the citizens know
that they are possessed of the fear
less spirit which will make them
equally efficient in whatever capaci
ty the government may see fit to
use them.
Heading a long marching column
of Morgan City Firemen, Police
Officers, Boy Scouts and number
of young men and women, the vol
unteers left the City Hall at three
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, STEP
ping briskly to the strains of "Col-
umbia, the Gem of the Ocean," pro-
duced by the Morgan City Band.
Throats tightened and breasts ex
panded at the spirit of the martial
display. The sight brought home to
onlookers that there is state of
war, that there is call for volun-
teers and that grim business is
upon the land which may end, no
one knows where. The marching
boys passed from the fire station to
the Public School Building where
they were Joined by cheering, en-
thusiastic students and then turned
trainward, reaching the S. P.
Station in time to depart at their
skeduled time. The train bearing
the volunteers pulled out amid a
demonstration Of cheering and with
every American flag raised on high.
The recruits who left on No. 10
Tuesday will report at the New Or
leans branch of the Army Service
for examination. Being accepted
they will be assigned to the differ
ent branches of the service in which
they enrolled. The twelve recruits

NIGHT SERVICE FROM AVONDALE ID AC|PCO
Owl Cars to Operate for Benefit of Railroad
 Employees

Beginning at midnight tonight, all- night cars will run from Avondale to Acipco.
 At the meeting of the board of com missioners yesterday, at which citizens of Avondale and President Pevear of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, were present, it was agreed that this service should begin immediately. The city and the street railway company will enter into a three-year contract, providing that d 10-cent fare shall be charged during the hours the owl cars are in service and that transfers shall be issued good for any line with which the Avondale- Acipco service connects. At the end of three years the contract will be re- vised to meet any conditions which might exist at that time.
 The all-night service between Avon dale and Acipco Is inaugurated for the benefit of railroad men employed at the Southern railway shops at Acipco. It IS claimed that large number live in Avondale and vicinity who are re- qulred to report for duty between the hours of midnight and daylight and that unless car service was estab- llshed they would be compelled to sell their homes in Avondale and else where and remove to the vicinity of the railroad yards
