worst year Of his career.
Wahoo Sam Crawford, the celebrated
fence buster and outfelder Of the De-
troit Tigers, who is wintering on the
Pacific Coast, has declared open war
fare, with no quarter, against Tyrus
Raymond Cobb. To the temperamental
and erratic Georgia Peach the Wahoo
subscribcs the fact that he is in bad.
But, lot Sam tell it in his own words,
as he gave it to a newspaper writer Of
Los Angeles:
"Years ago, when Donie Bush Joined
the Detroit club. Cobb started riding
him." says Crawford. II interfered, and
earned Ty's dislike. Many things came
up to aggravate his dislike. Later on

busher was sent to my place. l wasn't

Tigers In Doubt
AS to Baseball
And Athletics

PRINCETON, N. j.. Jan. S.-Whether
or not the Tigers are to be represented
by varsity baseball and track teams
will be the subject Of discussion at the
meeting Of the Board Of Athletic Con-
troll to be held on Friday evening Of
this week. The topic was tabled at the
fall meeting.
The possibilities Of a varsity track
team are considered bright. Manager
Butts and Captain Barret have drawn
up plan for a short and limited
schedule which is thought to stand a
reasonable chance of being accepted
by the committee.
Although the material for varsity
nine is excellent, it is not thought
probable that Princeton will be rep
resented on the diamond formally. AT
the present time it appears most likely
that the Tigers will either support an
informal team through limited sched-
ule, or else confine their activities to
ntra-mural series
Coach Bill Clarke. formerly of the
old Baltimore Orioles. and Tiger coach
for the last nine or ten years, is sail

Collie, Valued at $4,000,
Stolen From P. j. Tully

One Of the most notable dog thefts
of recent years occurred yesterday,
when Sarsfeld Commander, champion
collie, mysteriously disappeared from
the office of his owner, P. j. Tully, IN
West Thirty-fourth Street. The dog is
valued at $4,000. and, along with Win
ming the championship of his breed at
the Bronx County show in Octoper, he
has won 81 long list of prizes.
Tully had the dog in his Office, and
went out for short time. When he
returned the collie was gone. gen.
eral alarm was sent out, but no trace
could be found of the dog. This was
singular, as the dog is of such size
and appearance as to attract attention
anywhere. Sarsfield Commander is a

THE FOOD

IF Germany has enough food to last
until another crop is harvested, She
is economically invincible," asserted
Col. Clarence Ousley of the L. S. De-
partment of Agriculture at the State
College extension conference on Fri
day. Italy, France and England viii
collapse if the farmers of the United
States do not produce enough food to
keep them going" If Germany's sup
plies hold out, he said, the Allies can't
reach Berlin in 10 years by actual
quest. The only way to save civiliza-
ton is by increased food production
right here in America. The prime fac
tor, therefore, in winning this war is
the work of the farmer and the house
wife. The county agents are captains
of farming in the big food drive.
Mr.. Ousley asserted that the labor
problem is now the biggest item in
food production. But this problem
would not be as serious if every person
who is able or who could be released
from other occupations would do farm
work. He estimated that Is per cent
of young men in the high schools have
a knowledge of farming, and that prob
ably forty per cent of the men in the
rural towns are physically able and &C.
quainted with farm operations. There
fore, is it too much to ask these men
to help produce food by working on
farms at harvest time? Armies, ma
vies, and congress canno win this
war alone. Is it too much to ask a
banker, a school teacher or 2 clerk 70
go out and work in the harvest fields
at SO much a day when their sons or
brothers are risking their lives in bat
tie at a dollar a day? Everyone must
think nowadays in terms Of food pro
duction and food conservation.

FOOLS OR TRAITORS

The one thing that seems TO be in
the way for a speedy ending of the
war as far as the efforts of the L. S.
A. are concerned, is the fact that
there are men who have not yet en-

heart. Who have not yet realized the
danger that stands right out in front
of this nation and every other one
in the way Of German supremacy.
They are half hearted. They think
that some one or two things must be
attended to first. that the things that
they are interested in must be the
ones which Will have the right of way
