American Price Rigidly Regulated

CONSUMERS HERE PAY &C.
Sugar Cost 35 Cents a Pound During
Civil War-Refiners' Profits
Now curtailed.

Sugar is selling today throughout
America at from S1a to 8 cents a
pound to the consumer, even though
there Is world shortage which has
reduced this nations sugar allotment
to 20 per cent. Of normal.
Through the efforts Of the United
States food administration the sugar
market has been regulated as far as
the producer, refner and wholesaler
10 concerned. The food administration
has no power to regulate retail prices
except by public opinion. Even though
more than $4,000 tons of sugar have
been shipped to France in the last
-four months the retail grocer's sugar
price Is around 8 to 81 cents. He
should sell this sugar at S1a to 9
cents, the food administration believes,
and asks the American housewife to
pay no more than this amount.

 Postpone Big Gritliron Match This
 Fall
 The annual football game between Fordham and Georgetown. for many years an Election Day feature of the local season, will not be played this fall. Charles Ti. Cox. graduate mana ger of athletics att Georgetown, tells us that not only the Fordham game but every other contest as well has been dropped from the Georgetown schedule and that the university will support no eleven. Georgetown has lost most of the players of last season, but it was ready and anxious to put a team into the field. However, when it's leading opponents cancelled their engagements Georgetown come to the conclusion that it had better call the the whole thing off
 Cox says that Fordham cancelled the contest and that the Maroon will not have a football team. This takes US by surprise as we had been given 10 understand by mon high in Ford hams athletic councils that it would send an eleven onto the field. Efforts 10 get duInoullC IIlIOl ltlltllloIh lCSoolN VI ing Fordham's decision yesterday proved futile. We hope that these lines will bring forth an official an- nOuncement.
 Previous to Fordham's cancellation Georgetown lost it's big home feature through the ablition by the Govern ment of the Carlisle Indian School. The Indians were carded for Thanks giving Day. Then came word that the University of Detroit another Georgetown opponent. had abolished football for the duration of the war.
 Georgetown's action should not be given too much importance. It Is true that quite a number of colleges which played the game last season have decided not to have any eleVenS this year. but on the whole the foot bali outlook is decidedly encouraging. In local circles Columbia, New York University and Stevens Tech are sure to have teams. The few defec- tions will he more than compensated for by the reappearance of Harvard, Yale and Princeton on the list of in- tercoIlegiate games. Then again we look for tremendous interest in serV- ice football Leading college coaches like Sol Metzger, who is. at Camp Dix. have undertaken the football proposition at camps. cantonments. naval stations and flying fields. In spite of everything it looks like big campaign.

BILL KELLY STOPS.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 21.-Thet Billy Kelley is 1ncomparably the best two-year- of the season was demonstrated yesterday afternoon when. under the steadying impost of 135 pounds he won the Grab Bag Handicap, six furlongs, run the dis tance in Ill 2-5, and in accomplish ing that feat beat a good colt in w. R. Goes Sweep On, carrying 120 pounds, by half a length. R. J.. Brannon's Colonel Livingston, which was leased for the race from MT. Brannon before Commander J. K. L. Ross paid $27,500 for Billy Kelly, was three lengths behind Sweep On, with F. D. Weir's Tetley and H. H. He- wits Ginger at his head and shoulder. Thus the Ross entry, which was backed from 3 to 2 to 10, finished first and third. The race was worth $3,35O to the winner. The time by furlongs was 0:12 Is, 0:23, 0:34 3-5, O.46 3-5, 0.58 4-5.

NO E. B. ACTION.
National Commission Meets but Docs
 Nothing About Series.

Cincinnati, Aug. 21.-The national baseball commission met here yester- day and went into a thorough di-cus- sion of the coming worlds series bat shortly before the conclusion of the meeting announced officially that no decisions relative to the schedule, um- pires eligible players and other de- tails would be announced before an official promulgatiOn of a bulletin con- taining all this information on next Thursday or Friday.
 The reason given by Chairman Au- gust Hermann, speaking for the c0m- mission, was that the American eael1a race was entirely too close. and that the members of the commission thought it would be better to delay any announcements that were to be made.
 It was unOtticialIy but authoritative- ly stated that every phase of the worlds series work was taken up.
 The meeting today was attended only by Chairman Hermann. Presi- dent B. E. Johnson of the American league and Secretary John Heydler of the National league, who came armed with authority to represent his league at the meeting. The usual gathering of baseball magnates from almost every part of the country was lacking.
 It is almost assured now that the series will start September 4. Chair man Hermann has received word from both Chicago and Boston that the local daft boards will not inter- fere with the members of these two teams during the series.

PITCHING WILL TELL.
Red Sox and Cubs Have Fine Array
 of TWir!erS.

If there is a worlds series it will be between the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red SoX. and it should be a good series because each team is exceptionally strong in pitching. Pitching, almost always the most vital factor in winning streaks, has justified the importance attached to it again this season in that the two clubs, each with the strongest pitching staff in it's respective league, are about to win the 1918 pennants.
 The world series from a pitching angle will match Hendrix, Vaughn, Tyler and Douglas against Jones, Ruth, Mays and Bush. Bush and Douglas, of these slabsters, are the only men who have a pitching per centagc of less than 500, while Jones and Hendrix lead with 727 apiece, the former having won thirteen and lost five games, while Hendrix has nabbed sixteen victories while tossing off six. Between the two pitching staffs there is little to choose.

BRITT WINS.
Gets the Decision on Foul from Matt
 Brock.

Boston. Aug, 21.-Franl1ie Britt of New Bedford won on a foul from Matt Brock of Cleveland in the seventh round of their scheduled 12-round bount at the Arena last night
 While Britt had a big lead in points at the time, it was thought by some of the fans that the blow, ruled as low had landed on the belt and not below It. In the earlier rounds Brock uit low and was warned at least half a dozen times to get his punches up Brock had been tipped that the body was the Whaler's big weak spot, and, while the Clevelander took all kinds of punishment about the face, he slammed for the stomach like q pilc driver
 In the opening session Brock caught Britt with two stiff rights to the body and left to the jaw and twice tlOOred the New Bedford man for part of the count. It looked as though the battle was to be d short one, but Britt came back in the second, and in the third, fourth and fifth and sixth and part of khe seventh fairly snothered the Cleve- &nder.
 Johnny Best of Quincy was stopped kl one round in the semi-final hv Charley Parker, who substituted for Young Ambrose in six rounds and $eorge Brooks and Mike Castle went @x rounds to a draw.
