SandlOt Players
Joining Army.

Two years ago Washington and
Cleveland were the two best or
ganised sandlot cities in the
country. Today there is sandlot
baseball in both cities, but their
leagues have sadly fallen by the
wayside. Why? The sandlot
Lacquer is joining the eolors,
that's why.
Two years ago there we're
thirteen organized sandlot
leagues in Washington. Today
one, the Departmental League,
has been organized and will get
under way next Monday. There
are plenty Of teams, but only
this one league.
Last year sixteen sandlot
leagues played ball in Cleveland.
This year only seven remain,
which means that more than 30
per cent Of the Sixth City sand
letters are serving their coun-
try in some capacity.
Don't kid the sandlotters.
They're rallying to the greater
call.

POUND OUT
WALLOPS TOEVEN
Up ON YANK TEAM
By WILLIAM H. sLoCUM.

NEW YoRK, April 26.-One good
way to tame the Yanks is to subdue
the punch in the middle of the bat
ting order, and the Washington
pitchers performed that feat here
yesterday in the second game of the
series. At the same time the Griff-
men stole all the thunder which the
Higgins crowd was supposed to pos
sess, and pounded hits to all sections
Of the Polo Grounds.
The result was a victory for the
Griffs, who now have evened up the
series, and expect to take a majority
Of the games, as Waiter johnson is
ready to work today, and Doc Ayers
or George Dumont will be ready to-
morrow.
Johnny Layan and Clyde Milan were
the heGd-linSrs in this latest victory
OF the GrihS, with Yingling and Shaw
deserving no little credit for their
work in the box after the home team
had got away to q good start. The
Washington shortstop got two singles
and q double, besides walking once,
and Milan got hits Of the same kind
ana number.
= The two combined to put over the
nrst run scored by the Nationals, and
they also elaborated In the ninth
inning finish which carried the visit
tors to victory. Lavan gave the Yam
kGs followers a thrill Of Joy in the
eighth with a poor toss to Judge at
first base which let the tying run sift
over the plate. But the eX-Brownie
more than atoned for this lapse in
the first half OF the ninth.
BsatB Slow Roller.
. shotton opened the inning by beat
ing out a slow roller to Pratt, and
Lavan came through with his fifth
hit in the two games here. 1t was a
double OF the right field wall, the
same kind he lift in the eighth inning
of the previous game, and it put Shot.
ton on third base. MilRu quickly set
tied all doubts about the victory
when he tagged one to left center for
two bases which sent both Shotton
and LaTsn romping over the plate.
The GFiffmsn fought an uphill bat
tie most Of the way. Harper was wild
and Ineffective, and he gave way to
Shaw after two innings, with the
Yanlls in front to o.

The HuEgins crowd hlled the cor
ners with none out in the third. but
Shaw pulled out with only one run
against him. In the NTH Baker poled
a long drive into the right field stand,
the third hit OF Shaw in three in
nings.
In the sixth Jim gave way 20 Char
ritY as pinch-hitter and HingIing

hits In the sixth inning rally which
tied up the game, and Judges double

New York, Jan. 15.--Adrift on an

boys were seen frantically waving their
arms and their pitiful cries for help

port attracted thousands to the river
front in upper New York today. called
out a fireboat, hook and ladder COM
pany, police reserves, and women with
blankets, hot coffee and first aid kits.
Surely enough, two moving black op-
jects were actually to be seen on an
ice foe that was being swept north
ward with the tide. The crowds watch
ed anxiously while the fire boat steam
ed to the rescue, only to be turned
back by ice. 1t seemed as If the lads
were doomed, until Capt. Brown of the
fire department took long squint at
them through marine glass. "Stung.'
exclaimed the captain. They're only
a couple of loose cakes of frozen slusn
damned upright and swaying in the
wind"
The hot coffee was distributed to

BATH RED CROSS
Chapter Literally Swamped by oHers
for Taking Home Work

Path Me. Ian. 15.-In response 10 the
appeal set forth by the active "ofAeiS
at the Red Cross rooms. after the ley
fer had been received from headquar-
+srs asking for such an enormous
amount Of garments. the chapter has
been literally swamped by offers to
take home the work. The women Of the
clubs, ladies' aids and sewing socie-
ties in the city have. with one accord
announced their willingness to do all
in their power to help. and complete
the unusually large order in the Snort
est time possible. II the assistance is
continued in such a splendid manner
there is no doubt that the required or
der will be ready in due time.
1t is O. great credit TO the city OF
Bath that the local unit Of Fed Cross
has been able to respond So quickly
and we'll to the demands of the nation
al department and II is through the
loyalty and patriotism Of the women
that this has been made possible.
Even now. however. there Is d press
ing and extremely urgent demand for
workers at the rooms. Miss Carolyn
Moses, has just returned from l3ost. n.
where he interviewed those in charge
in that city, and they reported a great
need for more surgical dressings and
supplies to be sent constantly. While
many people are willing to do work at
home, they should realize the necessity
for cooperative labor at the rooms
and try to give part Of their time
there. AS the war continues the need
win become more pressing. and every
natr OF hands available will be asked
