ROCKEFELLER MEDAL
 GOLF TOURNAMENT
Proceeds From Match at Shuttle Meadow Club Tomorrow Going to
 War Work Fund.

All arrangements are complete for the big medal play golf match at the Shuttle Meadow club tomorrow after noon in competition for the Rocke- feller medal. Maxwell s. Hart, chair man of the tournament committee, has received the medal which is now on exhibition at the club. It is a beautiful trophy, and in view of the cause in which it is given, namely for the benefit of the soldier boys, it will be greatly treasured by the winner. The entrance fee to the match is $1 up. So far there has been nowhere near the response that there should be to the return postal cards, which have been sent out. Every member of the club, whether he plays golf or not, should turn in a dollar for this match and come out and see it. Every penny from the match goes to the United War Work campaign.
 The medal is given by pr. John D. Rockefeller ST. MT. Hart has re- ceived word from Cornelius J. Suli- van, chairman of the national golf committee for this nationwide golf match, that over 3OQ clubs have re- sponded and will hoyd medal play matches on that day for the benefit of the United War Work campaign. A number of people who do not play golf have sent in liberal entrance fees.
 Whatever money is raised from this match will go into the local United War Work campaign fund, as con- tribution from the Shutte Meadow club and it will count towards the $2O0,000 drive.
 The Shuttle Meadow club raised $500 from it's recent Red iCross tournament, and it is the desire of the club members to see that as large a return as possible is made through the club, so it's high reputation for generosity will be maintained in the United War Work campaign.

INCONVENIENCE TO FARMER IS

Raleigh.-Complaint has been made
that the new order Of the Food Admin

except In combination with cereal sub
stitutes imposes some Inconvenience
and in some instances even some little
hardship upon farmers who have their
own corn ground into meal, Even
these farmers must purchase an equal
amount of corn meal or some other
cereal substitute along with his -four.
There is no restriction, however. which
will prevent this farmer frem selling
his corn meal to the retailer even
though he buys back part or all OF
this meal.
It Is evident that no exception can
DO made for the benefit even Of this
class because q retailer must pur-

War Causes Boston
Ball Club to Look
For New Owner

When the baseball races were
shut down by the government on
September l of this year, it was
predicted that several big league
clubs would be unable to with
stand a period of war idleness and
would go under financially.
the first crack is likely to take
place in Boston, where the National
League club is about to go on the
rocks.
James E. Gaffney. former owner
of the club and a contractor of
New York. said he would take
back the franchise next Monday
club met their obligations. There
is a considerable sum due Gaffney
for rental of Braves Field, while
the present owners also are behind
in the payment of interest on bonds
held by Gaffney and associates.
The Boston Nationals had been
sailing along on half a rudder for
some time and their finances were
not in the best condition even be-
fore General Crowder issued his
famous work or fight" order.
Percy Haughton resigned as spresi-
dent of the club to accept a COM
mission as major in the chemical
warfare service. The club since
then has been without q real eX-
ecutive. its affairs having been left
in the hands of Walter Hapgood,
its business manager.
The Boston Nationals are owned
by a syndicate of New England
bankers. who purchased the fran
chise from Gaffney in 1916. The
club lost money continually from
the time the new owners took
charge and has been on the market t
for the last two years. But in
these war times there are few bas
ball purchasers. Efforts were
made to sell the club back to Gaff-
ney at a considerable loss. but
Gaffney would not buy.
