OUR SAVED FOOD

Food Administrator Writes Presk
dent America Conserved AL
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN
Meat and Fat Shipments inereAssA hv
s44, ,60o,0 900 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces, overseas 1A1.-
100000 bushels of wheat and 844, ,0OO-
900 pounds Of meat during the past
year, valued In all at 81 400, ,OOO, ,OO0
This was accomplished In the face Of q
serious food shortage In this country,
bespeaking the whOleheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover In a let
ter to President Wilson. explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up of the millions of bushels Of wheat
during 1918 and the shipment Of
meat during 1918.
The total value Of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to 81, 400 100000, all this food being
bought through or in collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918
The shipments Of meats and fats
Gncluding meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des-
tinations were as follows:
Fiscal year 1916-17. :. 2, 166, 500 900 lbs.
Fiscal year 1917-1S. SOL, ,1OO, 900 lbs.

Increase ........... 844 900, 900 lbs.
Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. The increase In
shipments Is due to conservation and
the extra weight of. animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect Of these efforts began
to bear their best results In the last
half Of the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports to the Allies were 2,18S, 1OO, 900
pounds, as against 1,286, 500, 900 pounds
in the same period Of the year before.
This compares with an average Of
SO1 100000 pounds Of total exports for
the same half years IN the three-year
prewar period

duced to terms Of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have

LOWbROWS BETTER
THAN COLLEGE MEN
Ball Players With Good Adj
yantages Inferior to
Self-Made Men
JESSE ALTENRERG

For a number of years there has
been discussion among experts as 70
whether the college man or the mon
college man makes the better ball
payer. While this argument can never
be settled it is we'll to look over the
two teams below composed OF the
more representative men of these two
classes.
In justice to the college men. it must
be said that their numbers are in the
minority, which may account for the
apparent superiority of the "Tseedu-
Gated" team appearing below. 1t must
not be construed. however, that the
1owbrow' lineup is by any means

GRACEFUL ADAM
AT short Adam Debus bids fair to
emulate the notable example of one
diminutive Cation, whose hair-raising
stops were a feature of nearly every
Baron game last season. Debus is one
of the most graceful performers Moley
has ever had and the Frenchman pos
sesses an advantage in reach over his
predecessor, that must be reckoned
with in the comparison. There need be
no alarm among fans over this part
of the infield.
On the hot corner it looks as if Eddie
Mcdonald will again draw the assign
ment. Eddie has been eussed and dis
cussed so often that he is getting used
to it. But when all is said and done,
the old head is mighty valuable man
to have hanging around the ball team.
AS strategist he is without peer and
and his counsel is of great assistance
to Moley in handling young players.
RAY is VERSATILE
The utility man for the coming sea-
son will probably be Ray Jansen. Ray
Is really too good a man to keep out
of the game regularly, but on account
of his versatility he will probably
draw the job as handy man. Jansen is
another player who cavorted with last
years Mobile club.
Getting out into the field we find the
Barons much stronger than last year.
Whether Duncan or Coombs plays left
field, it is sure to be we'll taken care

for base stealing honors. If all the

We can't close this little sketch
without saying a few words about
Molesworth- The Baron pilot from the
day he took over the reins, has made
a big success in handling his teamR
Moley is now recognized as one of. tin
wisest minor league managers in the
country, and it would not be at all
surprising to see him go up at the end
of this season. When it comes to -judg-
ing ball players the local mentor can

Since the announcement that Car
men Hill, Ralph Comstoclz and Red
Smith would be back in the fold this
year, Baronial pennant stock has risen
to such an extent that the locals are
Z now the favorites for Southern league
honors this season. In spite of the
draft and the consequent scarcity OF
players. Moley appears to have gath
ereo the most formidable team that
has represented Birmingham in recent
years and one that on paper looks
certain to run one. two three in the
final standing.
1t has been said that figures do
not lie and in some cases this is
true. but when applied to baseball
averages this old adage loses its
meaning. Managers will tell you that
the most valuable player on the team
is the one who disregards his batting
percentage and is willing to sacrifice
personal records to help win the old
ball game. The fan. however lives on
records, for they are all he has by
which to compare men at the close of
the season
Above we have jotted down the bat
ting. fielding and pitching avera ges
made last year by men who will con
stitute the Birmingham team this sea-
son. 1t is obvious that. since many of
these played in other leagues and I'M
der different conditions during 1917,
this standing cannot be considered as
true criterion of the ability of each
man.
FIGURES MAY LIE

SMITH VALUABLE
Our pair of catchers are too we'll
known to admit of much comment
here. Haworth was unlucky in his hit
ting last year. being the victim Of
more sensational stops than any man

Moley, Red Smith is more valuable
at the bat than nine-tenths Of the 500

FRED TONEY TRIED
FOR VIOLATION OF
DRAFT SERVICE LAW

Nashville, April s.-The federal
grand jury returned an indictment
here today against Fred Toney. noted
pitcher for the Cincinnati National
League baseball club, for the alleged
violation of the selectiYe service law
Toney was arrested sometime ago on
warrant sworn out by the district
attorneys office and has been under
bond since. The charge grows out of
Toney's claims for exemption on the
ground of dependent relatives. His
claims included his. mother, step
father, invalid sister, wife, little
daughter and 5-year-old niece as mis-
dependents
Toney was placed on trial during the
morning.
