need BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their fiocks and
herds in order to meet Europes tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to
cooperate with the government IN IN
creasing the nations supply OF live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 1,soo,ooo
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 2,4OO,0O0
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIT. .2S;
November and December, $160S; jan
larry, S144O. The effect OF these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar.
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle as
we'll as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 1907 600 head OF
cattle In 1918, she now has only NJ
341 800, a decrease Of 1875 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack Of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

TEAM DOUBTFUL
ATST. AMBROSE
Prospects for Football Eleven at
Davenport College This Year
Is Uncertain.

| The status of athletics at St.
| Ambrose college for the coming
year, especially as regards football,
/ is somewhat uncertain. Every man
of the 1917 championship team is
either in the service or will not re-
turn TO school The fact that a
student army corps is to be organ
lied at the college this year may
( bring in a wealth OF new material
/ from which a football machine may
be formed. Unless this happens
there hardly will be any varsity
football this season.
But this doesn't mean that there
will be no athletics or no football
warriors at the college this year
The academy team, known as the
Juniors, are destined to make their
existence conspicuously known and
felt unless all advance dope fails.
To start with, the same old coach
will be on the job. Then there is
going to be a little red -haired Irish
man with two years Of football ex-
perience to captain the team Last
year Captain MCLains punting and
passing and open field running
were the sensation of the season.
Jim Shelly. whose speed and slas
ing offend pIunges last year won
many yard for his team, again
will be back at halfback II is also
likely that Bouquet, the hard
smashing fullback, will return to
hold down his job This cOmhina-
ton in the baokfeld, with WHARF,
the heady little quarterback, TO run
again off the plays with such speed
and zip is going to prove the mettle
of any team they meet
Last years line, too, will remain
almost intact The greatest loss
probably will he Hand. captain and
star end of last year. But the 9TH
er crack end, T Norton, again will
be back in his place, as viii also
CLAM, the center, Ruse and Me
ters, the guards, and Stocked, the
fighting tackle. The other tackle,
which Gimbel held down for two
years. will be vacated. but it is ru-
mored that Barney Heating and J.
Goodall, the star tackles of two
years ago, are to return to claim
their old positions. Add to this
such promising subs of last year as
ODonnell. SchOenfelder. E Norton,
c. Hauer. Murphy and Woeher, plus
all the new men who in past years
always made up half the team, and
you can sum up what Red" Nc
Lain's warriors are looking forward
to. While the Junior schedule is
- I L.
or are being arranged with most of
the teams met last year, including
such teams as Aledo, Clinton. Ly-
ons, MaquOketa, Sterling and Wash

tuted. A complete schedule will be

Chicago, Aug. 23.-Although out

fore the invaders could claim vic
tory by a score of 4 to ., and the
fact they were outbatted was due

credit for and were robbed of at
least four solid ones by Giants.

lous stab when he went back and

WHITE SOX BEATEN
BY MACKMEN, 3 TO 2

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 23.-All
the Sox lacked was the punch and
single run in their second game
with the Athletics. Lacking those,
they didn't stand to win, OF course.
And they didn't, the score being to
2 against them.
Adams, a tall and elongated sliv-
er of a highlander, was the chief
reason for both of the Sox deficicn-
cies, and if his support had been as
effective as was his hurting the Chi
cagoans wouldn't have counted a

NOT TO OPPOSE
WORLDS SERIES
Secretary Of War Baker Approves
OF Plan TO Hold Baseball
Feature in September.
SOLDIERS ABROAD INTERESTED
Games Should BE Played for Their
Benefit if Nothing Else Is
Verdict of Head.

Washington, Aug. 23.-When ask
ed yesterday whether the work or
fight order would interfere with the
world baseball series this year.
Secretary Baker said the question
had not come before him, but indi-
Gated hts strong opinion that the
series would be and should be
played.
Since only two teams would take
part. the secretary thought the
number OF men affected by the work
or fight order would be very small,
and moreover, he added, the sol
diers in France are intensely inter
ested in the results
The national commission, il was
learned yesterday. has asked Secre-
tary Baker 10 grant permission for
the playing of the games. This was
agreed upon at the recent meeting
OF that body in Cincinnati when
plans for the series were made. The
details Of the games have not been
announced but it is understood they
will start Sept 4 with three games
in Chicago and three in Boston in
case the Red Sox win the Ameri-
can league pennant. If Cleveland
noses out Boston. then two games
will be played in each town.
If it can possibly be done" said
Mr.. Baker. i should be glad to have
it arranged. Whether or not the
worlds series viii be played on ac-
count of the work or fight order
depends, Of course, upon the num-
Der OF men affected. The number
would, l think, be very small-two
teams.
The army abroad is interested
in the result of the world series,
and l understand arrangements are
made for transmitting the result OF
these games abroad for informa-
ton Of our American boys who
] haven't forgotten the great Ameri-
can sport"
