Yarn in Wornout Pills Good for Knit

A new use has been found for used
baseballs, the discovery being made
by President Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pittsburgh Pirates when he recently
received a letter from patriotic
young woman reading as follows:
'The young women of our associa-
ton are knitting sweaters, helmets,
socks and other articles for the boys
of the American expeditionary force
in France. AS a special favor we are
going to ask you if you would kindly
donate to US all the wornout baseballs
that may come into the possession of
the Pittsburgh club this year.

but as well rendering a patriotic serv-
ice for the American soldiers over

No person in the major leagues, per-
haps, has been so closely watched by
recognized baseball critics thus far this
season as has Jack Hendricks, who, af-
ter twelve years of successful plotting
in the minor leagues, came to the st.
Louis Nationals this year as manager.
What are his tactics? What meth
DDS does he pursue to win? Is he a
car or is he gentle? Is he a good los
er? Will his men work for him? These
are only few of the questions that
have been asked and the first days of
the season have seen most of them
answered.
Hendricks let it be known at the
start of the season that he is not the
| one to refuse suggestions. He reserves
final judgment for himself, but players
who venture to tell their manager what
| should be done under certain circum-
| stances are not rebuked-for Hendricks

RUDE OLDRING ONLY
VET WITH ATHLETICS
Connie Mack's Lineup Has Been
Completely Changed.
Stars Of Old White Elephant Machine
Which Won Four remnants In
Stretch of Five Years Are Re-
placed by Youngsters.

Rube Oldring, persuaded to come out
of retirement by Connie Mack this sea-
son, is the only player on the Mackian
roster who was actively engaged In
the pennant-winning campaign of 1914.
when the Athletics won their last
American League streamer.
Gone are the stars of the old White
Elephant machine which rolled through
the American league, winning four
pennants in a stretch of five years,
and in their places are players upon
whom Mack is depending to regain the
laurels of his once famous club.
The once famous infield of the old
Mackmen composed of Baker, Barry,
Collins and McInnis, has been re-
placed by Burns, Gardner, Shannon
and Dugan. Baker is with the Yanks,
Collins with the White Sox, McInnis
with Boston and Barry in the navy.
The old Athletic outfield has faded
away completely. Strunk has been
sent to the Red Sox and Oldring has
been used as a pinch hitter for the
most part since coming back to the
club.
Bender, Bush, Coombs, Plank, Pen
mock, Shawkey, Wyckoff and Bresslel
were the mainstays of Mack's pitch
ing staff only four years ago, yet MOI

phia uniform. Bender is helping

of Miss Clare Cassel, whose return to
the ranks of amateur tennis has
brought joy to the great host of fol-
lowers of the game. Before she left
competition Miss Cassel ranked among
the first ten women experts on the
courts. She was forced to forego play
ing in 1916 because she had given pro-
fessional skating instruction, which de-
barred her from amateur tennis com
petition. She has refrained from pro
fessional sport activity for more thar

TY COBB, IN 32D YEAR
is BEST DRAWING CARD

Ty Cobb is in his thirty-second
year. He has been playing with
the Detroits since 1905, the only
year in which his batting aver
age was less than 300. The
Georgia Peach has been the
champion batsman of the Ameri-
can league at the end of each
campaign since 1907, excepting
1916, when iris Speaker had a
! better average. Cobb's great
est batting record was .420, be-
: ing hung up In 1911. Last year
he batted 1888, and never played
: more brilliantly. In spite of adj
yancing years, Cobb still is in
! his prime. He is easily the
I greatest ball player of all time,
and he is worth the $4,000 sell
{ airy which the Detroit club has
been paying him since 1914. AS

stands at the head of the class.

SUGAR SUBSTITUTES

The u. S. Food Administration puts positive
limit on the amount of sugar we may have each
month and also asks that we use less if possible.
Do you realize that if each and every one of us
in United States saved only one-quarter pound out
of our two-pound allowance each month that it
would mean 25,OOOO0O pounds saved per month, or
300,O0O,O0O pounds per year?
It can be done and we would not be anv the worse
off for it.

A Pleasant Reunion

A real Thanksgiving dinner was
that served at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Il, J. Mace, where were
gathered not only every one of
their children eleven in number)
but other guests to the number
of eighteen. The proverbial tm-
key with cranberry sauce was
there, together with quantities of
other good things to satisfy the
inner man. 1t would take too
much space to mention all on the
menu, so will say there was enough
to satisfy the appetite of each and
none left the table hungry.
The only regret was that the
soldier boy of the family was not
present. but as word had just been
received that Mr.. Ekloff was well
and was to be served turkey din
ner in camp, all tried to be con
tent.
The dinner was served by Mrs.
Colley and Mrs. Eklotf the married
daughters of the family. Those
present We're: Mr.. and Mrs. Mace,
Mr.. and Mrs. Colley, Mrs. Ekloff,
the Misses Ruby, Flora, Mary,
Edna, Ruth and Else Mace; Mas
ters Earl, George and Jamie
Mace; Mrs. Lindley, Mr.. Ernest
Lindley (mother and brother of
the hostess), Vance Lindley and
Mr.. Van Vert.
Candy and nuts were served in
the evening.
Altogether ii was day long to
be remembered, and rather I'M
usual that Of so large a family
not one child was missing.
