New York, Sept. 19-According to records, based upon the daily box scores of the major leagues, honors in the abbreviated pennant races of 1918 were well apportioned among the va rious teams of the two circuits. In the National ltague, the Chicago Cubs, winners of the senior organization flag. accumulated the largest number of runs, while the greatest number of hits rattled off the bats of the Cincinnati clan. St. Louis was charged with making the most errors; Boston had more runners stranded on the bases than any other club in the league, while St. Louis was the easiest to score runs against.
 Among the American league teams Cleveland scored the largest number of runs, while hitting honors went to the Washington club. The combina- tion representing the Capitol City also made the most errors and led in play CTS left on bases. The Detroit combi- nation yielded the largest number of runs, the average being four and a fraction per game.
 The record of the sixteen teams of the tw omajor leagues, showing runs, hits and errors, is appended:

Football is to remain. The govern ment den.es any intention of doing away with this greatest of all college sports Indeed. it will be expected to prove of great assistance in making for sggressiveness and strength in the soldier-students.
 No university should find it impos- sihle to carry on football merely be- cause military instruction is to come first. It has been whispered that both the navay academy and the military academy have produced high class slevens. and at each institution mili- tary instruction of the most intensive type comes first last and always.

 Principal Tirrell said that as many of the older boys had left the school to go on to higher schools and to en- ter the service, and that as many of the other boys were working after moons, it did not seem advisable to continue the sport. Another reason was the financial support of the team, which would probably be very poor this year. as a majority of the men who followed the sport are now in the service.

QUARTERS FOR DAIRY CALVES
TO Prevent Dumping and Jostling Of
Young Animals Small Pens
Should Be Provided.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Small calves should not be bumped
and jostled about. An easy way to
prevent this is to provide small pens,
not less than four by six feet in size
in each of which calf may be kept
for the first two weeks. The pens
should be fitted with feed boxes for
grain and racks for hay. After the
calf is old enough to run with the
others 1t Is placed with them in q
larger pen. Stanchions are fixed on
one side of this pen to provide for the
separate feeding of the calves, so as
to insure that each receives its proper
care. Racks for hay should also be
placed within easy reach Of the calves.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon the necessity of having light, dry
quarters for the calves. Bedding al
ways should be abundant and should
be changed often, in order that the
pen always may be dry. Lack Of at
tention to these matters is very likely
to allow the development of the vari-
GUS calf diseases.
After the calf is few weeks old, it
can stand considerable cold if it is
kept dry and has dry quarters. Pro-
vision also should be made to allow
the calves plenty of exercise. A small
paddock or pasture adjoining the calf
stables is excellent for this purpose.
Except for the very young ones, calves
may be let out in the exercise lot for
short period each day when the
weather is not too cold or stormy.
II the calves are kept together In
large pen it is very difficult to feed
them by hand unless they are tied.
When they are loose the milk often is

hat the war must not end with any

Continuing, the speaker declared:
"Germany's enemies, who are re-
'ponsible for lengthening the war,
must be compelled to pay cash for it.
We have no occasion to worry our
heads about how they will raise the
money to pay an indemnity

view few years ago is now being real
lied. The amount received from the
sale Of wheat, oats, barley, flax and
rye in 1917 was $4,000, 900, while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted $40000,0O0 additional. OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven MIL
lion dollars. The Increases ut Calgary
and Edmonton were over 6A million
dollars.

that Of 1916, was equal to the total
business in 1915. It Is the same story
all over the country. And it is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
