MANY GAMES, WANT
TO SAVE PITCHERS

Navy, Yard League teams. lacking
pitching talent, are beginning to
squirm under the added burden of
having to play extra games to fin
Ish out the season, and will meet
tomorrow night to talk over the
proposition.
During the last week three lead
ing teams, -Cloffeps. Tool and Mis-
ceIIaneous and Torpedo, have been
forced to play doubIeheaders. The
three teams have been forced to
send a single pitcher through the
double route.
The impost of the additional bur-
den on the pitchers will be the sub
ject of discussion tomorrow night.
League officials have, crowded games
to such an extent that the managers
and captains feel that their pitchers
will be frazzled to such an extent
that they will be unable to do them
selves justice.
The matter will be Strengthened
out tomorrow night, at which time
the various managers will be given
a chance to voice their prc-s. The
league expects TO finish up with
each team playing its quota OF twen-
ty-five games.

baseball series here is expected to

summer than ever before. There have

There are at present some twelve
teams capable of putting up excep-
tionally good games, as they are
fairly evenly balanced. The SER
vice teams have added interest to
the games this year, and have had
good followings. There is bound to
be a small scramble for players, but
after the teams are fairly lined up
for the title series there will be
dash for the flag that will be un-
equalled in sandlot baseball here.

with interest by metropolitan swim
ming followers. Up to this time the
women natators Of New York have

they will have to step aside during
the time the noted HAwaiians are
here to meet the cream Of the local

Knhanamoku the Card
Kahanamoku will be, by all means,
the card in the meeting at Brighton
Beach, as his competitive and ex-
hibition work over the course OF the
past several years has given him
the foremost position among inter
national swimmers From the time
KAhanamoku was hrst credited with
IS seconds in the 100 yards, per-
formance that could scarcely be De-

here and proved 1t. his swimming

enthusiasts and his name stands Tor

however, has retained the worlds
records at so. 100, and $50 yards. His
work on the present tour indicates
he is as fast as ever.
CompanIons Are Good.
Considerable interest has been
manifested in Kahanamoku's swim
ming companions, who are OF the
newer Honolu Harbor Swimming
School. Clarence Lane, q youngster
of eighteen years, now holds the
worlds record at twenty-five yards,
and he has equaled Kahanemolau's
mark OF 80 seconds for the fifty
Yards in open tidal water.
Like all Of the Pacific ocean Is
landers Lane has done most of his
swimming in open water and Is not
at his best in a pool, owing to he

FIVE MILLIONS
NOT LARGE ARMY

One year ago the strength of
the American Army was 212,-
O34; today it is 1,652,725. Our
population is conceded to be
100 millions for purposes of dis
cussion. So in spite of the heavy
increase which we have scored
for our armies, we have put but
1.6 per cent Of our numbers in
uniform.
Yet we talk of supreme efforts
in terms of a gigantic army
of 5 million men. May We well
pause to realize that before we
shall have equalled the perfor-
nance of the thirteen original
colonies we shall have increased
this figure by half, that before
we shall have put ourselves on
a par with the beaten Confeder-
acy we shall have doubled it?
May we not give thought to the
fact that in order to put forth
an effort duplicating that of the
North, W. must raise an army of
1872 million men.
It is absurd to look with COM
placence upon the insignificant
military aid which the average
American has in his mind when
he contemplates our share in
the great war. There are plenty
Of people now living who fought
would but remind ourselves that
in the Civil War; plenty more
who lived through it. If we
before we shall have equalled the
achievement of their generation,
we must still put liz million
troops in the field, perhaps we
should look with less complacence
upon what We have done, and
with less misgivings upon the
raising Of the next million, or
the millions after that.-Scienti-
fic American.

RED CROSS NEWS

The ElWOOd Red CrOsS sale n4d
at Mike Feeneys ranch on Dec
oration Day was a great success
The sale dinner and donations
brought the branch in $2211 .O4
AS we prophesied this the largest
Red Cross sale ever held by
any Red Cross organization in
the U. S. which was located more
than SO miles from rail road.
If there are any competitors for
this particular honor, let hem
be trotted out. We will be glad
to see just what they look like.
We confess that we were a bit
surprised when the Northern
Division Headquarters informed
us few days ago that 525 pairs
of knitted socks was the alot-
ment that would be required of
Haakon county by September 1st
But, Of course, there is nothing
to do but get busy and "knit"
'em.' This is a real task, how
ever, and all our knitters in
the county will have to respond.
All who are knitting socks should
finish them as soon as possible
and return to head quarters. The
supply committee has sent in a
large order for yarn, and hopes
TO be able to supply all branches
at once.
Concerning socks here are a
few directions that our knitters
should keep in mind: All socks
should be not less than IA inches
in length fom top to heel, not
less than IL inches from heel to
end of toe. not less than 4 in
ches in width across the leg nor
less than AZ inches in width
through the instep. These are
the minimum requirements. Small
er socks simply cannot be used.
On the other hand socks must
not be longer than l412 inches
from top to heel nor longer than
13 inches from heel to point of
toe, nor wider than S inches
through the leg or six inches
through the instep. These are
the maximum sizes. Larger sizes
cannot be used. If there is any
danger of for getting these re-
quirements it might be well to
past them in your hat. Every
branch has it's chart lay finished
socks on chart and See that they
comply with these requirements,
then attach numbers indicating
the sizes. All socks must be
washed before they are turned
in to county headquarters.
