Grove, N. J., and Saturday night at New Haven. He's entitled to a va cation. What!
 Bogash has sure improved since his last scrap, and ought to be a conner in the lightweight ranks. The way he handled Kunz was a treat, and the South Norwalker is clever boy. Louie can absorb little punishment which will help quite a bit as it showed when he took all Kunz had and never showed it. He has won- derful recuperative powers and came back when the bartender was all in.
 Tony Marhefka, the former Planter third baseman 1916-17, is with the Bethlehem team of the Steel league Tony says it's the sofest job he ever had. They play two days week, Thursdays and Saturdays for the ben | eft of the steel workers. He is the guest of Jack Flynn of the Planters for a few days. Joe Currie, the New Haven feather weight, won the decision last night in | Boston over Johnny Buckley of that city. Currie was knocked to tie floor | in the fourth but came back and gave Buckley an awful trimming, mixing him take the count of nine in the sixth. Tommy Shea was in Curries corner.
 The Braves came near equalling the worlds record of assists in Mondays game. When the scorer found that the Braves had twenty-seyen assists, five strikeouts for Rudolph, and no double plays he looked it up and ffound out that Boston came within one assist of tieing the record made by the Pirates in a game with New York on July IA, 1911.
 Capt. Eddie Collins of the White Sox has landed in the list of 300 hit ters.
 l The surest way to be shown is to go to Missouri and grab a job as pilot for either the Browns or Cards.
 Joe Jackson, erstwhile White Sox slugger, is hitting the ball in his we'll known way in the shipbuilders' league. 
 Shay, the former Singer player, now with Hartford, made a running catch of hot liner yesterday which was peach. He also emerged from his bat ting slump by hanmering out a triple in the eighth inning which sewed up | the game.
 Cristall had the Green Sox at his mercy except in the last three in- nings when they touched him up con sistently. He is at present. handi- capped with a sore wrist, and consid- ering that, he pitched magnificent game.
 When the news of the coming dis= bandment of the Southern Association reached this sectin, Owner Clarkin got in touch with Mickey Finn, the former Waterbury pilot, who now is handling the Nashville club of that circuit, and gave him carte blanche orders to round up three pitchers, two outfielders and two infelders, and bring them on here as soon as the league came to a close.

Petty gambling, it is believed, was the biggest factor in the wreck of the minor leagues. The lack of attendance which forced most of these organi- zations to shut down was due to the steady increase in the sales of base ball pools. These pools are concerned chiefly with the doings of the major league clubs and most of the tickets are sold in the minor league league towns. - ..
 A man with a chance" for "big'' prize in the pools is bound to throw all his baseball attention to the clubs which are represented on his ticket. He loses all interest in the home team and goes to the ticers to watch tho major league results. He keeps throw ing his quarters into this cheap "gamE ble" and sometimes somebody wins his quarter back. -ftT

Newark Club To
 Drop Out July 1

Joseph Lannin, owner of the Newark club, and other officials of the h. ternational League last Sunday held a conference here and it is reported that they decided to call a halt after the games of July 4. Newark is sure to drop out then and the league may continue only if some other city is included to take over the franchise for the rest of the season.
 Efforts are being made to induce MT. Doherty, the Paterson mill owner. who runs the Silk Sox, to take over the Newark outfit, but he is coy. The outlook is that after all the .hulabaloo major league clubs will start playing Sunday games at the Federal League park in Harrison on July T, with. tfe Yankees and the White Sox as the likely opponents.

Hartford feels Roy Grimes hitting as the Tigers feel Ty Cobb's. When the lanky shortstop went hitless for five games, the Senators didn't make much of showing. Roy's extra base hits won many games since the open- ing of the season and Owner Clark1n is waiting patiently for Roy to come hack to form.

some fresh illustration OF the lnao-
;,itv on the part of governments to
INV with money something essen
,ial for war preparation. We are
now discovering that there is not
linen enough in the world to cover
the aeroplanes that the allies
orp producing. The English gov
erument has just decided that at
least 10000 acres of English soil
must be devoted to the production
Of flax, instead of food. That gov
ernment is making terms with the
farmers. which will lead to the
planting of That crop.
The illustrations are endless OF
tie fact that there are not labor
ard materials enough to produce
the things tt az the people want and
the things hat the government
wants. There are two Wavs OF
helping solve the problem. One is
to speed up D oduction and indust-
~. The other is to cut down IN
necessary consumption. By the
latter method every one can put
himself in an effective way in "A
front trench. Every one can MAKE
sacrifices that will be reflected in q
quicker and better equipment OF
armies. The progress that can be
made by speeding up production
can be exec. dec many field by tie
effect which can be produced by 4
whole nation making up its mind
really to help win the war. The
difficulties O. equipping the army
would be easily cut in half if every
individual in this country wOult
recognize his responsibility in help
ing to equip the army, his respon
sibility to & on without demand
ing new things he can get on with
out, and by so doing leave a create
amount of labor and material t
produce the things the gOvernmen
must have.
Every yard of linen that
bought from today on puts tn
buyer in direct competition wit
the AeroplaAe Boc rd in equippin
the fleet of aeroplanes which "
hope to put over the German line
That should be very plain to ever
one when it is known that tt
need of linen for aeroplane produ
ton exceeds the total stOca the
is in the world. But the same ru
applies in almost everv directi;
that we turn.
There can be only two reaso
why men should not see in thu
