Gulls Play Better Ball Than Bdr0ns and Cop First Game
Preacher Perryman Unable Hold Tail Enders-Bennett Pitches Consistent Ball-Barons Have Numerous
 Chances to Score, But Fail in Pinches
By FRED ROpEKER

The lowIy Mobile GulIs made
 the Barons brief stay at the top
 of the Southern association rag
 race by taking the opening game
 of four-game series nt Rick
 wood yesterday afternoon. The
 Barons simply had an off day and
 1t was the GulIs' game from the start. The final count was to 1.
 Emmett Key Perryman started tht twirling duties for Moleys crew. but his wiidness, punched with timely hitting and errors by his mates. gave the Birds ar early lead. Perryman lasted but three rounds. During that time six hits and couple of bases on balls were secured by the Gulls Two errors and three stolen bases were also mixed in with Perryman' bad work to give the tailenders sub stantial lead
 Karl Black relieved Perryman in the fourth and twirled good ball. Five hits were secured off Blackie's benders and not tally was made until the ninth. Black, however, was given superb SUD- port and he worked out of several dan serous holes, due to good work on the infleld
 BENNETT PITCHES WELL
 Joe Bennett pitched a consistent game for the Gulls and although he was wild throughout, he frightened when hits meants runs and the Barons' best effort was usually a pop infield fly He had a fine curve ball and although he worked it overtime, the Barons could probably have never solved 1t.
 The Barons were probably over-confi- dent Their play in the first few rounds was loose, but as the game progressed, they played better ball. seeming to be- come aware of the fact that they were against scrappy little ball club. At ming, but Bennett always managed to work out with allowing the plate to be crossed.
 The Gulls took the lead in the first round. Perryman walked Myers as a starter and Lunte sacrificed. Myers took Red Smith by surprise when he swiped third. Jassen was out, pitcher to first Reed hit a deep grounder to short and beat Catons throw to first. Reed stole second, but was later caught off by Perryman.
 GULLS TALLY AGAIN
 In the second, the Gu1ls scored the tally which proved to be the winning one. Kitchens beat out his infield hit to Caton and stole second after Bowden had struck out. He went to third on Smiths wild throw to the keystone. Mcdowell was passed. Golvin hit a high fly to center and Al Ellis muffed it, Kitchens scoring. Bennett and Myers popped out to end the round.
 In the third the Gulls scored two more. Lunte singled and was sacrificed to sec- ond by Jansen. Reed hit grounder to short and on a quick play, Caton to Mc- Donald, Lunte was out at third. Kitch- ems singled to left Bowden doubled to left and Reed scored. McDowell beat out his hit to deep short, Kitchens SCOT ing. Bowden was out at the plate, John ston to Smith.

INTERNATIONAL ENTRIES
SMASH ALL RECORDS

Reversing the seasons precedent,
entries for the 1917 International
Live Stock Exposition show mate
rial increase over previous years.
For the first time in the history Of
the enterprise, expansion is necessary
and more space will be needed to house
exhibits
In the great drive to increase food
supply, so essential to winning the
war, the live stock industry fully re-
alizes it's responsibility and the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition, which
as usual will be held during the first
week in December, is performing it's
part.
More cattle, hogs, and sheep at
Chicago the first of December, means
the stimulation of the industry. Enthu-
siasm among showmen will be reflect
ed in commercial circles. It will be
the show of former years plus the
vim and energy created by the war
situation, which has stimulated the
breeders of the United States to
added effort.
The increase in entries at the "In-
ternational" is gratifying, as other
live stock displays of the season were
deficient in this respect. Practically
all of them showed contraction in dis
play and subsidence of energy.
The International Live Stock Ex-
position this year will be the great
est the world has ever seen. Herds
and focks not usually in the lime
light will be represented on the tan,
bark and the best the country pos
sesses of the equine, bovine, porcine
and ovine species will be in evidence

A MIsCHIEvOUs BLUNDER

When Woodrow Wilson was COVER
nor of New Jersey, he declared against
the zone system for publications for
the following reasons:
"It must be that those who are pro-
posing this change of rates do no.
comprehend the effect it would have.
A tax upon the business of the more
widely circulated magazines and peri
odicals would be a tax upon their
means of living and performing their
functions. They obtain their circula-
ton by their direct appeal to the pop
ular thought. Their circulation at
tracts advertisers. Their advertisers
enable them to pay their writers and
to enlarge their enterprise and in
fluence. This proposed new postal
rate would be direct tax, and a very
serious one, upon the formation and
expression Of opinion-its more de-
liberate formation and expression just
at a time when opinion is concern
ing itself actively with the deepest
problems of our politics and our social
life. To make such change now
whatever it's intentions in the MIND
of those who propose it, would be te
attack and embarrass the free pro.
cesses of opinion. Surely sober sec
nd-thought will prevent any such
mischievous blunder."
Sober second thought did not, how.
ever, prevent the mischievous blum
der from being enacted into law.

HUGE BUILDINGS FOR
OFFICES AT WASHINGTON

One of the manifold problems pre-
sented by the war is that of furnish
ing adequate office accommodations
for the thousands of additional Off
cials, clerks, and other Federal ser
wants who are pouring into Washing
ton. The government is exercising
it's prerogative in this direction and
has commandeered conveniently To-
Gated office buildings and apartment
houses with a free hand. In addition
it is erecting huge temporary struc-
lures for use as offices, and IN the
building of these contractors are
breaking time records for construction
work. A building to house the 600
officials and clerks of the Council of
National Defense, containing more
than 100000 square feet of floor
space, was erected and fully equipped
in So days Similar buildings nearby
are for the use of the forces of the
Food Administration, Fuel Admins
tration, and Army Ordnance. Work
| is well under way on. a mammoth
structure which will cover three city
blocks to house the overflow of the
War and Navy departments, the con-
tract for which calls for completion
in four months.
By these methods the government
keeps in advance of its actual needs.
At the present rate of increase the
usual $4,000 Federal employees in
Washington will be more than doubled
if the war continues another year
Workers of all kinds are being ap-
pointed, stenographers and typewrit-
ers and craftsmen for the service gen
orally, and what are known as schedule
clerks, index and catalog clerks, clerks
qualified in statistics or accounting
and clerks qualified in business admin
istration for the Ordnance depart
ment of the army, being in great de-
mand.
Representatives of the Federal Civil
Service commission at the post offices
in all cities are the official recruiting
agents for the great civilian army, ar
army of a half million behind the mer

SCRAPPLE

In these days of wheat and meat
conservation, suggestions of ways to
extend meat flavor are welcome. A
dish which has a strong meaty fla
vor is peculiarly satisfying when
combined with some bulky food such
as cornmeal or other cereal. 1t is es-
pecially satisfactory as well as rela-
lively high in food value. This is
the type of dish, too, which, COM
bined with fruit or green vegetables,
forms a desirable meat combination.
Such a one is we'll exemplified in
"scrapple," the dish so common
among the pennsylvania Dutch" 1t
is a combination of meat scraps and
broth with cornmeal, and needs thor
ough cooking. Use Il cup of corn
meal, salt and pepper, and 1-3 pound
of pork with bone shoulder, neck,
or ham shank. Cook the pork in
water until the meat can be easily re-
moved from the bone. Remove the
meat. Boil down the broth to about
quart, or add water to bring it
up to this amount. Cook the corn
meal in this. Add meat finely
chopped, and seasonings. Pour into

WAR ACTIVITIES IN WASH
INGTON

The population Of the city of Wash
ington has increased at least $4,000
since the war began. It is natural
that the capital city, the center of
governmental activities, should show
this marked effect of the most extern
sive preparation for war ever under
taken by any country. A steady
stream Of new appointees to the
great civilian army pours into the
city; the streets hum with activity;
everybody is busy and earnest; on
every hand are the sure signs of a
competent organization with fixed
purpose.
At the request of the United States
Civil Service Commission the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce has un-
dertaken the work of directing to
suitable rooming places the new ar
rivals who are not acquainted in the
city. Hundreds of desirable rooms
with or without board, are listed, and
at very moderate rates. Application
for accommodations can be made by
new appointees through correspon-
dence before leaving home or by call
ing at the offices of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce, No. Gil
Twelfth street, N. W., upon their ar
rival in Washington.
Stenographers and typewriters
make up large part of the additions
to the force at Washington. Thou
sands more are needed. Ship
craftsmen for the Navy department
mechanical craftsmen for the service
generally, and statisticians and what
are known as clerks qualified in bust
ness administration, clerks qualified il
statistics or accounting, index anc
catalog clerks, balance of stores
clerks, and schedule clerks for the
Ordnance Department of the Army
are also in great demand. Represen
tatives of the United States Civi
Service Commission at the post of
fees in all cities are furnishing de
tailed information concefning posi-
tions at Washington in which work
ers are needed.

ROUT-STEP ANTEDATED

Casting aside the old tradition that
soldier who marches at the "rout-
step" will travel farther and with less
fatigue than while at attention, y
Unied States Marines have adopted
the latter style of hiking, exclusively.
1t has been proved that the old
"go-as-y -you-please" method, SO long
in vogue in military units, will tire
out the men quicker than the cor
rect military syle, used at parades
and drill. Marines, who have Used
the "rout-step" during long distance
hikes in the Philippines, Haiti, and
elsewhere, have adopted the "atten-
ton" method to conform with the
practice in vogue in Europe.

PUBLICATIONS TO COST MORE

''The regulation of postal charges
obviously should have had no place
in war tax BILL" says Leslie's Week
ly, "but Postmaster General Burleson
thought differently. He brought all
his powerful influence to bear to have
clause inserted in the war revenue
measure to heavily increase the postal
rate on newspapers and periodicals.
The result was the establishment of
zone system, which will compel leading
periodicals to charge much higher
rates to subscribers in distant zones
than to those nearer the office of pub
lication." The raising of rates by
newspapers and periodicals has of ne
cessity already begun. The day of
cheap reading matter has been has
tened to it's end.
1t is said now that the zone rates
have been put on publications to
make sure that they will have to pay
the cost of their mailings, the next
move will be to make deliveries in the
rural district pay their cost or discon-
tinue them. Developments along this
line will be watched with great inter
est to see whether the recent postal
changes were made from a sense of
business justice or to penalize the
press.
