The Square Deal for Ali.

The attitude Of a State government
toward business corporations should
be fair. sound, dispassionate, free alike
from the sinister influences of organ
lied capital corrupted and the de-
structive prejudices of that school
which misjudges all corporation busi-
ness by the abuses of some. We
should consider that corporations,
large and small, are feeling the pinch
Of the high cost OF living. OF materials
and Of labor in the same degree as
individual business men. We must
keep our minds open. and be as ready
to assist the corporation business. es-
pecially under State regulation, IN the
solution Of financial economies and
other emergency problems as we are
the small business or the consumer or
patron not under State or Federal
control. Perhaps such an attitude will
require courage since 1t flies In the
face Of popular prejudice. But there
is not a single interest In q commu-
nifty which may be unjustly penalized
without the injury spreading to other
interests. Popular prejudice Is q
contagious disease. One function OF
sound government is to equalize the
poison by adopting the square deal
policy.-Leslie's

Men as Food Slackers.

woman writing in the woman's
Home Companion asks men to stop
scolding her sex and look to their
own faults, and she says:
I'D like to see a count taken OF
the men who've given up eating
butter and sweets to help win this
war. and the women who have given
up these two things! 1t might check
some Of these persistent scolders of
the American housewife and her pa
triotism. Only a few days ago a
friend Of mine said to me: II
would all be so easy IL it were not
for Arthur. He does so love heavy
sweet desserts, and he wants to
have steak or roast beef every night
for dinner and bacon every morn
ing for breakfast. I can't make him
see that 1t does matter. even IL we
have the money to buy these things
1 try to tell him that it's a matter
of honor not to eat them all the
time, so that there'll be enough to
go round for everybody. But he
only acts peevish and wants to in
crease my house allowance
Its incidents like this that have
brought me to the profound belief
that after the Food Administration
has shown the women what they
can do to save food and check waste
then, then, the real work will begin
for they'll have to make all the
heavy middle-aged men with long
indulged appetites come up to the
scratch, too"

JOE TURNER GETTING
IN SHAPE FOR MATCH

Joe Turner has been taking things
easy since his gruelling three-hour
match with Jack Price last Thursday
night, and has fully recuperated from
the long struggle in which he was
forced to extend his utmost energy in
order to get draw decision from Ref
cree O'Connor. Joe has wrestled
longer matches in cold weather and
felt no after effects, but last Thursday
night was warm and naturally both
men were very weak at the finish and
Mr.. OConnor used good Judgment in
stopping the bout before the men
dropped from being exhausted, as
neither was willing to quit wrestling
The following night after the hard
battle Joe kept his engagement to
wrestle for the soldier boys at Camp
Meade. meeting Young Samson in a
fast bout staged as the main attrac-
| ton of the athletic entertainment at
| the big Y. NJ. c. A. building. Next
Monday night Joe will wrestle for the
soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital in
the athletic carnival staged by the
Holy Name Society under the direction
| of Capt. Eugene Edwards, formerly
Of the Corcoran Cadets, D. c. N. &.
The bouts will be staged in the open
air, giving all ample room to witness
the exhibitions.
Joe will resume training today and
promises the fans to be in good con-
ditions for his match Thursday night
at the Lyceum Theater. where he
meets Fritz Hanson. the New Eng
land grappler, in a finish match.

ors. This will mean that the money
derived from all OF these eight events
will go TO the Red Cross, and it will
no doubt give a much higher total
than would be obtained If only one
event were held, as it is expected that
quite a number will enter the elimina-
ton events held at their own clubs
who would not feel that they were
good enough players to compete in a
regular tournament Of championship

Everything is in readiness for the
Washington Golf and Country
Clubs annual spring golf tourney.
which will usher in the local sea-
son on Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday of this week, and all that is
necessary to assure its success is
good weather. Although the entries
do not close until Tuesday evening.
enough have already been received
to make the event one OF the best
the club has ever held, and as it
seems to be the custom OF prospec.
tive entrants not to send in their
names until the last minute, at least
fifty more are expected by the time
the entries close.
The course Is in almost perfect
condition and with the improve
ments made in several of the greens
and practically all Of the tees dur
ing the off-season, Il is expected
that golfers will see quite an I'M
provement in the course, although IL
is not believed that enough changes
have been made to affect the scores.
Although only four sixteens are
called for in the announcement, II
Is almost assured that a fifth will
be added on account Of present in
dications pointing toward such a
good-sized entry list.
The prizes this year will be in
medal form with the Red Cross in
sigma, as the tourney is to be a
patriotic" one, the proceeds being
turned over to this organization for
relief work. A number of out-of-
town players of note are now in
Washington engaged in war work
and the club hopes that as many as
possible will take advantage Of its
invitation and send in their names
Those who haven't done so had
better get their entries in today.

Griff's Nationals Defeat
Braves in Exhibition Game
Contest Full of Free Hitting and Loose Field
ing with Poor Pitching by 49,
Both Clubs .i9sE
By JOHN A. DUGAN.

Providence. r. l., April Is
Grirs Nationals and George Stall
lings' Braves battled in an exhibit
tion game, away out at Rocky Point
near the oyster bed this afternoon.
for the benefit of 5000 Providence
fans, but these loyal supporters
witnessed a ragged major league
exhibition, which the Capital City
clan won by an to 6 count.
Free hitting. loose fielding and
poor pitching combined a slow, list
less battle. which went one extra
inning before the decision was
reached. After cumming up a per-
fectly good victory for Mollie Craft,
of Portsmouth and Bull Pen" fame,
the Nationals demonstrated they
stiIl had a punch by going out in
this extra frame and obtaining the
necessary tallies for the victory.
Opposed to Craft was Johnny
Crum. one of the Braves spitbaf
artists. but Crum tailed to show
anything to the Griffmen that was
livery like a lodS-IOst friend. and
slammed out fourteen clean base
blows during the contest.
Both teams wo,Ec,I under a handi-
cap OF not having any other pitchers
TO use. as through some error over
the famous New York, New Haven and
Hartford the Braves trunks with their
uniforms did not arrive in time for
the game and the Old Fox loaned
Them the suits OF bench warmers OF
the Nationals.
Grif's tribe went to work on Crum
carly and piled up runs in a pretty
handily manner. The Nationals went
into the final half Of the ninth with
4 two-run lead, but it was only short
lived. IS errors by Morgan and Milan
assisted the Braves in tieing the count
after two were down.
The Nationals finally put over their
two telling scores in the tenth when
Foster singled and was sacrificed by
Charity. Craft then hit to right field
and Foster scored while Mollie moved
up OH the throw in.
Eert Shotton followed with a clean
one to left and Craft registered. The
game was so ragged that it would be
hard to say which club looked the
worse. The score:

City Today.

out-of-town boxers on the card which
the American Athletic Association
will offer tonight at the Lyric.
Benny Valger. the French boy.
who meets Jabez White in one Of
the ten-rounders, is living in Phila-
delphia and he may be expected at
any moment. There was talk about
White having Joined the colors, but
Manager Bletzer had word this MORN
ing that White has not yet been sum-
moned In his district and that he will
surely De on hand tonight.
The White-Valger go promises to
be a dandy. Valger, in his one ap-
pearance. here, showed himself to be
good speedy boy. White has a repu-
tation as a top-notch bantam and he
figures to give the Frenchman a very
warm argument. Doc Bagley, who
manages NalgeT. writes to the effect
that Nalger will show much better
than when he was here last time. On
that occasion, IT is said, the French
man hurt his hand in one of the early
rounds and worked under that handiS
cap throughout the entire contest.
George CLANCY is about ready for
his ten rounder with Jack Russo.
The Baltimore boy is reported to
be in good shape. He has completed
his hard work and will fiddle
about the gym a bit, merely to
Timber up. Russo. who has been in
town for several days. is also said
10 be ready for action. Manager
Monteith knows the caliber of bat
tier his charge will be meeting, but
he is confident that there is a sur
prise and not a pleasant one in store
for Chaney's many friends in town.
The third ten rounder on the bill
will send into action Augie Rather,
of New York, and Eddie Revoire, of
Philadelphia. Rather has never ap-
peared here in action. He gained
much notoriety as an amateur be-
fore he entered professional ring
ranks. Revoire is now stationed at
Camp Meade, and a host OF his SOL
der friends will be on hand Mon
day night to root for him.
The opening bout OF the evening
will find Joe CLANCY meeting Reddy

CHICK EVANS
TOPLAY HERE
Chicago Golfer, with Fred
Mcleod, Meets Hagan
and Barnes.

The calling of of yesterdays pro-
posed professional match between
Fred Mcleod. Jack Burgess, James
Barnes and Wilfred Reid was quite a
disappointment to local followers of
the game, as these professional
matches always attract a great deal
of attention locally. If present plans
materialize. however, the week be-
ginning May will furnish one of the
greatest golf treats ever given local
enthusiasts. Chick Evans, of Chicago,
present open and amateur champion.
and Fred Mcleod, will meet Walter
Hagan. Of Rochester. open champion
in 1914, and Barnes, reputed as being
one of the highest paid players in the
country. on a day of that week to
be decided later. According to the
present scheme, this match Is to be
played over the Columbia course for
the benefit of the Red Cross.
Dr. Walter Harlan, chairman of
the Green Committee Of Columbia. is
handling the matter and has received
acceptances from all but Evans. AL
though he has not yet heard from the
Chicago player. it is understood from
other sources that he will be unable
to take part in the event. The doctor
has not yet given up hope. however,
and will not do so until he gets his
information from Evans himself, in
which event he hopes to obtain some
other well-known players-probably a
professionally substitute for Evans
The latter has never played in
Washington and it is certainly hoped
he can change his plans so as to take
part in this event. as there is no
doubt but that he would draw a much
larger gallery than would probably
any other player in the country. 1t
is expected that this matter will be
settled definitely within the next few
days.

Summer.

Swimming IL TO be taught soldiers
in the training camps this summer as
A military requirement, according 20

ties which has charge Of camp ath-
letics.
The instruction will be conducted
scientifically. First the soldiers VIII
be taught on land hos TO breath
correctly, and Jnen the different
strokes and motions Of a swimmer.
Next they will enter the water where
the course will be completed. In
this way Il is hoped to teach every
man the aquatic art.
At Camp Devens. Mass, the SOL
diers will use Hell Pond for their
swimming instruction. A corps Of
engineers under Capt. Richard y. Nell
ltgan. cantonmcnt athletic officer. Is
now getting the pond into shape. and
Capt Nelligan is preparing TO In
struct whole regiments al a time in
swimming.
Budd Goodwin, noted swimmer OF
the New York Athletic Club, has
mapped out a comprehensive program
Of instruction for the soldiers at Camp
Travis. where he is division athletic
director. Swimming classes for off,
GERS as well as the men will be held.
Y. NJ. c. a. physical directors at the
camp will lend their assistance in the
work. A similar program will be fol-
lowed out at the rest OF the canton
ments.
Ability TO swim is regarded as highly
valuable IN the army because many
times a soldier is compelled TO swim
streams where bridges and boats are
not available. In the present instance
II is OF particular value because OF
the dangers transport runs in the
war zone. for when a shin is tor
pedoed 1t has been found that the
man who can SWIM is invariably saved
as he is able to keep afoat until the
