Rainy weather threatens 10 put a
crimp in Coach Harper's gold and
blue baseball team. After being for
tunate enough TO play the Wisconsin
game on Monday, the team was
forced to lay off yesterday because
the diamond was so damp that play
was impossible. Coach Harper was
anxious TO get his men out on Car
tier field in order to remedy some of
the defects that cropped out during
the game with the Badgers. but the
weather man ruled otherwise, and
Harper could do nothing but accept
the inevita bic.
There was TO have been practice
for the pitchers. but only Smith and
Lally showed up at the regular prac-
tice time. Harper had them warm
up in the gymnasium for about an
hour.
The next game on the schedule
will be with Wisconsin at Madison
on Saturday Harper will take his
men TO Chicago Friday night and
proceed TO the Wisconsin capital on
Saturday morning.
Michigan Here Tuesday.
Next Tuesday Michigan will ap-
pear on Cartier field for the second
game of the home season. The
Wolverines have a strong combina-
ton, according TO the stories emil
mating from Ann Arbor. Harper
will probably send Murray his de-
pendable southpaw, to the mound
again 10 beat the Michiganders.
Rain also interfered with Coach
ROckne's track team, although il did
not drive his men entirely from the
track. All the relay men, with the
exception OF Murphy, who has gone
TO his home on the. way TO Camp
Taylor. logged a distance of two
miles. Harbert, Insley, O'COnnor
and Paterson. quartermilers, ran
$50 yards under the watch, and
Rockne pronounced their perform
ance satisfactory.

finally arrived" at a position Of
Prominence.
AS a coach of ball players he
ranks as one of the greatest in the
game. He was chief lieutenant in
this line under George Stallings. of
the Boston Braves. and Stallings was
lcath TO part with him when the
Cubs started out to grab him as a
manager But Stallings was able to
see Mitchelrs opportunity TO forge
ahead and he did not stand in the
way when il came to a showdown.
Mitchelrs 1918 Cubs are the most
dangerous rivals of the Champion
Giants in this years race. Many cri.-
les believe they will win the pen
nant, and largely because of the
man who will be at the helm.
The Cub pilot is a cOngenial man
ager with his players, but he de-
mands the best there is in them
every day, and he generally gets it.
That he will get results with the
Cubs is a certainty.
Mitchell started his professional
career with Concord in 1897. He
next went TO Lawrence and did so
well that he was taken on by the
Red SoX. From Boston he went to
the Athletics and later to the Phil
lies. Dodgers and Toronto. II was
while in Toronto that he changed
from pitcher TO a catcher and with
the change came a change in luck.
AS a catcher he hooked up with the
Yankees and later went TO Roches-
ter. Stallings was so we'll impressed
with Mitchell that he took him to
Boston and Fred played his part in
helping the Braves to success in
1914.

WILL SKIPPING WHEAT
GIVE YOU SOUL-SHOCK?

The United States Food Administra-
ton has sent out the following di-
rections to Federal Food Administra-
tors of all States:
The Food Administration is concern
ed that there should be no protiteering
in ice and especially that the cost of
ice to those elements of the commun-
ity which are least able to protect
themselves should not be increased
over last year unless absolute proof
can be given by the ice companies as
to the necessity. Any increase in
price over that ruling last season to
the household consumer will there
fore justify investigation as to whether
its constitutes profiteering.
The ice problem is essentially a
local problem and we do not wish to
intervene where local dealers do not
increase prices, or. come to an ar
rangement with municipal authorities
which will be satisfactory to both
dealer and consumer. If, however,
such settlements cannot be made by
local authorities in cases where there
is an attempt to unreasonably in
crease prices we suggest that you in
vestigate and in the first instance en-
deavor to arbitrate a settlement.
Should this fail please so report and
then we are prepared to place ice
handlers in that locality under the
restraints of the food bill.

THE SILVER TEA FOR
THE RED CROSS.

The Red Cross silver tea given yes
terday afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Richard Morton, Seyernside. was a
most successful and beautiful event.
The wide rolling lawns of one of the
most delightful homes along the Sew
ern River were dotted with guests
from town who had motored out or
taken the electric. Through the
courtesy of Commander Lloyd, steam
launches were sent from the Academy
for the convenience of officers and
their friends.
To Mrs. John Hood, wife of Admi-
raj Hood. should be given the credit
for managing the tea, which brought
to the war fund something over a hun
bred dollars. and to this should be
added the appreciation of the visitors
TO Mrs. Richard Morton for her
gracious hospitality. Mrs. Morton ar
ranged the dance, which was a pretty
feature of the afternoon.
Mrs. VIM Cox Wright who is veri-
table artist in teaching children the
new art in DANCING, has had charge of
the training and rehearsals for the
dances given yesterday in the gardens
OF the Morton home. This perform
ance will be repeated Saturday eve
ming at the Five Arts Red Cross bene-
fit.
Mrs John Hood, Mrs. CaTyl Bryan,
Mrs. a. NJ d. Mccormick, Mrs. E.
Gary Hoover, Mrs. Mecleary and
Kurtz served tea and sandwiches in
Red Cross costume. Miss Nancy Wal
ton and Miss Stuart served punch.
While there were many guests for
the tea. no doubt many more would
have gone over had they known the
Short Line cars were running. Many
gained an impression that the line
was closed, as an accident on the road
