AMATEURLEADERS
IN MEETING READY
TO HEAR ALL TALK

Representatives of three amateur
leagues now in operation here and
spokesmen for several independent
teams will gather tomorrow night AZ
the New Ebbitt to discuss all the
plans for a title series proposed for
later in the month
Lane Lacey, OF the Navy Interbu.
reau League. and James Wright. Of
the Rex A c.. have assumed the re-
sponsibihty OF getting the teams to-
gether. Neither man wants to dictate
in any way a proposal as to which
teams shall be represented In the city
title series.
As far as can be learned there Is no
disposition on the part OF any ana
teur baseball official to rule any team
out OF competition Plans win be
talked over Informally and from pres
ent indications there viii be some
thing definitely done toward getting
the teams in line for a series.
The three amateur leagues now
playing have several OF the best
teams in the city in action, notably
the Operations, Marines, Agriculture
Department and 407th Engineers
Torpedoes. Cloffeps, and Tool and
Miscellaneous. The independent teams
include the Army Medical School.
Rex A c.. Clarendon A C., Camp
Meigs, Arlingtons. Cardinals, COM
pany F, Engineers. and one or tive
others.
It Is understood that the amateur
moguls are not trying to force Q
series on any OF the teams and there
is every Indication that the ideas Of
all representatives will be taken un-
der consideration.
Tomorrow on the Monument lot the
Quantico Marines and the Naval Op-
erations teams will battle for su-
remacy in what promises to pack at
least one-Quarter OF President Will
sons Park, as Potomac Park is be-
coming known. The Ellipse has well
coined crowds OF 5000 in the old De-
partmental League days, and fans
who remember declare tomorrow's
crowd will measure up to any OF the
old days
Mike Cantwell or Singleton win
pitch for the Marines and either Kel-
ley or Owen for the Operations team.
Today the title in the Navy Yard
League may be decided, provided the
sunlight holds out long enough for
Cloffeps and Torpedoes to stage .
after o y. m.
Managers Crooke and Sterzer. Of
the rival teams. will put their best
pitchers in today. Cloffeps and Tor
pedoes had a tie contest once before
this season and meet today in the
regularly scheduled battle. A win
for Cloneps in both games assures
a pennant double win for Tor
pedoes gives that team a slight mar
ginal lead.

Our government officials are doing
their utmost to meet the. situation
and every consumer of foodstuffs in
America may realize and feel sure that
every ounce of wheat, every ounce
of fats, every ounce of sugar and
they save from their normal consume,
ton, either by reduction in consump-
ton or by the substitution of other
foodstuffs not suitable for export, wtll
reach a soldier in the trenches or a
woman, child or man who may starve
to death if it is not provided for them
by US. Every particle of exportable
foodstuffs saved in every North Caro-
lima home will release just that
amount to help win the war and to
help prevent the actual starvation and
suffering of innocent women and chill
dren and men on the other side.
Most of our people are realizing
their obligation to their country and
to humanity and are consuming a
much smaller proportion of wheat
-four, beef and pork products, fats and
sugar than they we're accustomed to
under normal conditions. Many have
not realized the seriousness and the
horror of the situation.
To every woman and every con.
sumner in the State, 1 appeal to do your
utmost in the saving of the food pro-
ducts named. This is an individual
problem and must be solved by the in
dividual. The responsibility is indi.
vidual and no single person can escape
the responsibility that is imposed
upon them in this matter. We have
ample foodstuffs aside from those de-
sired by the government for export
and none of us need suffer.
But. for the sake of humanity, for
the sake of liberty, and for the sake
of our own brave soldiers, your own
sons, brothers and kinsmen, Saws

To the Women of North Carolina:
With victory in the great war de-
pendent upon the food supplies which
we can send to the armies and civilian
population of our Allies in Europe;
and with several hundred thousand
countries of Europe appealing piteous-
Iy to America to save them from star
walton, we face the greatest and most
insistently pressing demand for food
stuffs that has been made upon q peo-
pie in the worlds history.
Russia has collapsed because of dis
organized and insufficient food sup
plies for its armies and for it's civilian
population in some sections, and more
American blood will be spilled in
France because OF Russia's failure to
push the war. Any failure upon our
part to supply necessary fooodstuffs in
France, England and Italy would
threaten a similar collapse in those
countries which would immeasurably
increase Iu0 wal DUEOSAS VI ILLS GULL
try and the cost OF variety.
The neutral peoples of Europe have
always imported large quantities Of
foodstuffs from North America, South
America, Asia and Australia. Because
of war conditions and transportation
difficulties practically all supplies are
now cut off except those from North
America and representatives Of those
peoples are making the most heart
rending appeals to our country for aid.
1t is an appalling fact that despite
the most we can do for those people
after supplying our Allies tens OF
thousands of them must perish from
hunger during the next few months.
In the face Of those conditions in
Europe re have exported all our nor
nal surplus OF wheat. Every pound OF

can take to avoid the fever?
Answer.-Present yourself to the family
doctor a month before you go away and
have him administer the prophylactic (vacs

protection against infection in any circum-
stances.
The Dose Of Antitoxin.
Are 10000 units Of antftOxin an over
dose for a moderate case Of diphtheria
in boy eleven years old?
Answer.-Often at least 10000 units wouAi
be necessary in order to neutralize 5000
units of diphtheria poison in a little pav
tents blood. The diphtheria germs worlf
night and day to kill the boy. The anti
toxin ought to be given in too small doses,
never too large doses.
