SUGAR SHOWED
 OUR BACKBONE 'Hmerfcan MnnnghsJ5 to uNe Up Luxury Demonstrated Na-
 tion's War Conscience. STAND WITH THE ALLIES. By Reducing Consumption People of the United States Avsrted
 Famine at Home In splts
 of Lew supplles.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.

The fact that the people of the United States were able to reduce by more than one-half million tons their July. August. September and October consumption of sugar proves conclu- sively that their war conscience was thoroughly awakened and that the country as Q whole stood ready to fol low the injunctiOns of the Government.
 Our normal consumption of sugar in the four-month period beginning with July has been 400, 0,O00 tons per month, a total of 100000 for the quarter year.
 In July, when our sugar stringency began to reach its height, consumption was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au. gust only 325,OOO tons went into dis tribution and in September only 279,- GOO tons. In October the distribution fell to 220. 900 tons.
 If the general public had failed to observe the injunctions of the Food Administration this country would have been in the throes of a sugar famine before the end of August. Our visible supplies were so low as to brins great anxiety to those familiar with the sugar situation. They feared that 1t would be absolutely impossible to reduce consumption to point where sugar would no longer be . mere lux ury in the American diet.
 Few accomplishments of the Food Administration will stand forth so pre- dominantly as this reduced consump- ton of sugar. By 1t we have been able to bridge over the period of stringency until the new beet and Louisiana cane sugar crops were in sight.
 Now the nation is in c position so that if we choose we may return to our normal home use of sugar, and Europe, with the release of ships to go far af1eld, can maintain its recent re- stricted rations If, h>vcver, those nations are to increase their use of sugar very considerably t must be by our continued sharing with them through limiting our own consump- ton.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
 RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events 1t Is interesting to recall the confidence with which the United States Food Administrator viewed the gloomy out look in July of 1917, when this coun. try had been in the war for less than four months and the Germans were steadily sending the western front nearer and nearer to Psris.
 Even though the situation In Flu rope may be gloomy today" he de clared in a public statement, mo American who has knowledge of the results already obtained in every di- rection need have one atom of fear that democracy will not defend itself in these United States"

We looked around and spied a German in a tree with a machine gun shoot ing at us. So he soon came tulnb ling out of the tree and we vert on after the rest. We captured quite a lot of prisonersand left the rest where we found them.

In all probability an amateur base ball
league made up Of teams representing
four of the camps in and near Washing
ton will be formed and play through the
coming summer. 1t is proposed to have
the Washington barracks. Walter Reed
Hospital, Artillery in East Potomac
Park and the Quartermaster's Corps at
Fort Myer place mines in the circuit. Work
in the organization of the league has been
started and the idea is so well advanced
that it seems almost certain that It will
be in existence this season.
A league such as is contemplated would
be certain of success. It is more than
possible that the organization could get
along well with six clubs, and six could
easily be obtained to hold franchises. Camp
Meigs probably would be glad to enter a
team and undoubtedly another would
come forward to fill the sixth place if the
call for it were made.
Chester Lyons, formerly pitcher for
Agriculture in the old Departmental
League and now a sergeant in the Army,
is one Of the prime movers in the or
ganization of the league. Several other
former local sand-lot stars are located
in the camps here. There is no doubt
that all these camps win be represented
by individual teams. and the fact that the
formation Of league has been started
should add interest to their season.
What probably will be one of the
strongest amateur mines playing
around Washington this season is like
ly to be known as the Navy team.

PROSPERITY HURTS CHAPPEILE
Larry Has Too Much Money to Take
Base Ball Seriously.

Since his departure from the Mil
waukee ball club. which sent him to the
Chicago White Sox for the reported
sum of $4,000. Larry ChappeIle, at one
time promising guardian Of the outer
works. has been a dismal failure. Fol-
lowing his sale, he was handicapped
tremendously in displaying his true
ability: today. after spending much
time on the railroads.&c. has been re-
leased from one major league club to
another and then to the minors-he is
carded for another trip. Joe Tinker of
the Columbus association nine has
Larry slated for the Coast League. but
the Frenchman refuses to take a trip
OF that length.
President A F. Timme of the MIL
waukee club is of the opinion that n
man of Chappelle's type is a detriment
to any club. When asked for his rea
sons for Larry's continual failure
Owner Timme said:

last night. Accounts OF their SUCCESS
differed widely.
The Nationals squad was increased
to twenty-four today when Joe Engel.
former Washingtonfan and an ex-Grin-
man, and now citfxen Of Hickman, KY,
donned uniform and started loosening
up his arm at Warren Park. Engel thinks
he Is a free agent and il the national COM
mission confirms this he may be signed
by Manager Griffith. Engel il . native
Of the National Capital and was with
the Grinmen in 1915, Is. "a. Is and 16. In
Later that season he was sold to the Bos-
ton Red Sox. who. in turn. sent him to
Buffalo. He was with the Bisons last
season until early in the fall. when they
were to have paid $1,000 for him If ro-
tanned.
Engel got OF to bad start in Red
land and Matty failed to exercise his
no International League this year, and
that the Buffalo club will not operate,
Engel asked Grin for permission to
join his team and was told he might
bound to the Buffalo club. He VIII
continue to work out with the Grf6-
men until the national commission
makes a decision in his case. Engel
and Griff thinks he has chance, with
the experience he has gained since
leaving the Washington club, of max
ing good in the American League. Last
year with Buffalo, a sixth-place club,
Engel won thirteen and lost seven
teen games, and in the 269 innings he
pitched allowed his opponents an aver
age OF 3.68 earned runs per game.
Manager Griffith announces he Is 60
ing to fight fire with fire this season as
far as the shine ball is concerned. The
pilot is opposed to this and all the
other freak deliveries, including the
spit ball and emery ball. but says If
it is going to be permitted, contrary to
the rules. he. is going to have the
pitchers use it in self-defense. MY
attitude in regard to the shine ball Is
well KNOWN" Grif said today. This
delivery and all others where foreign
substance is applied and where the ball
is dfscolored are illegal. II Ban john
SON had the nerve he would order the
rules enforced. But since Cicotte and
other pitchers are permitted to cheat,
mine are going to cheat, too. The shine
ball is most effective with a fast-ball
pitcher and I have several with more
speed than Cicotte ever had"
