guesses-why!
Though he is the oldest first baseman
in the National League. both in age and
point of service, Hal Chase of the Reds
still remains in a class by himself. Hal is
thirty-five. and no youngster is in sight
who threatens to shear him Of his honors.

Mordecai Brown of three-finger fame

that organization threw up the sponge.
The draft and trades have completely

two members who played last year will
draw salaries from the club this sea-

Feature Of the schedule in the duck
pin tournament tonight is the Royals
of the District League, listed to roll
among class A teams. This Is to be
the first appearance OF one OF the
strongest fives in the city and much
interest naturally will be shown in
its play, particularly by the other
strong quints. The fact that the Royals
are to appear does not mean that a
mark big enough to last through the
tournament will be hung up. though
that is something more than posi-
bility. 1t usually is a fact that one Of
the two or three strongest quints does
not get the high set of the tourna-
ment. No matter what they do. though,
Pop HALEY and his teammates COM
prise the most interesting and popular
aggregation of bowlers that can take
the alleys in Washington.
Indians and Yankees will take the
alleys as representative Of The Evening
Star League. Both are to roll in class
B. Several good bowlers are listed to
appear In the doubles and singles, and
it may be that some new figures will
be set for one or more of the classes:
AS a matter of fact, though, on almost
any night there Is the possibility that
somebody will come through with a
big score.

PLAY POORLY

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-Philadel-
phia yesterday again failed to score
against New York, while the Giants,
by their batting, coupled with the anna
flourish fielding of the locals. ran up
a score of Is to 0.
Besides their seven box-score errors,
the Phillies allowed flies to drop safe

of judgment which enabled the Giants
to run wild on the bases.

batters, and was taken out Of the box

Radio Team Rolls 1900 Set.

In last nights bowling the Radio
team, a navy yard combination, went
to the front in class B, knocking down
1921 pins. 1t was a count of 592 in the
third game which gave them the high
count. Torpedo team of the same
league got 1893. which was the next
best score. De Mars set of $50 and
Macks count of $40 were the features
of Radios bowling.
Jack Williams and Harry !Armiger
rolled 646 in the class A doubles, which
places them in the lead. That figure is
not likely to stand very long In first
place, though. Williams got the better
scores of the two players, topping lis,
104 and 1875. If Armiger had not fallen
down in the last game the score would
have run up between $50 and $40.

YOUNG men ARE URGED
TO ATTEND COLLEGES
Letter From the Secretary Of
War On This important
Subject

The secretary of war in a recent
letter urges young men, graduates
from high school, to enter college
next year.
Military instruction under officers
of the army will be provided in inst-
tutions of college grade which enroll
for the instruction 100 or more able
bodied students over the age of
eighteen. There will be created a
military training unit in each inSti-
tuition. All students over the age of
eighteen and enrolled in college will
be encouraged to enlist. Enlistments
will constitute the student member
of the army of the United States, Ii
able to active duty at the call of
the president.
Secretary Baker states:
"This new policy aims to accom-
plish a two-fold object; first, to de-
velop as a great military asset the
large body Of young men in the col
leges; and second, to prevent unnec-
essary and wasteful depletion of the
colleges through indiscriminate VOL
. unteering, by offering to the students
definite and immediate military
status"
This is of vital interest to young
men under twenty one who have fin
ished part of college course and
who therefore ought to make renew
ed effort to return to college or to
the university next fall. 1t is also an
Invitation to high school graduates
who have planned to enter college
to do so this coming fall.
The presidents of the several col
leges in Minnesota and President
Burton of the state university are
unanimous in urging all high school
graduates to give this question seri-
GUS thought, and to have. college and
university students complete their
college course.
Young women are likewise urged to
prepare themselves through college
| training for the special work that will
be required of women as leaders and
directors in the work growing out OF
| the war.

WOMEN, CAN EARLY
Increase the Number This Year Over
Those of Last.

Increase the Number This Year Over
Those of Last.
Let twelve cans stand whereby
eight stood last year, and let twelve
families can for every eight that put
up fruits and vegetables a year ago,
is the advice that Uncle Sam sends
out after a careful survey of the,
supply, and the prospects for next
winter.
With the depleted amount of tin
available for the factories, and the
fewer men and women available for
factory canning the Public Safety
commission believes that it is i'm
operative that the home supply, par
|ticularly of vegetables, be increased
materially over last year. 1t is safe
to say that no housewife can have too
much.
The splendid effort. of the farmers
TO furnish fresh vegetables and
fruits and the work of the home gar
deners should not be wasted. But
a certain amount of the produce can
be eaten, and the amount produced
promises to be large. The old joke
told to the Englishman, 1--WE eat
what we can, and what we can't eat
we can," must be reality this year
| if the farmers are to be encouraged
to raise like heavy crop next year
