Requested to Buy Only Things
Necessary to Health
and Efficiency.
THRIFT PLEDGE ALSO ASKED
All Citizens Must Be Economically
Adjusted to War Conditions II
Nation Is to Play It's
Part in Conflict.

washington. D. C.-To save mate
rails and labor for necessary war pur-
poses, President Wilson appealed to
Americans "to buy only those things
which are essential to the individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
teer on or before June %, National
Thrift day, TO invest Systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
''This war is one of nations-not Of
armies" said the president, "and all
of our 10O,0000O0 people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions if this nation is to
play its full part in the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
'"The 1roblem before us is not pri-
marily a financial problem, but rather
a problem of increased production of
war essentials ami the saving Of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment of our
army and navy. Thoughtless expendi-
tGre of money for nonessentials uses
up the labor of men, the products Of
the farm, mines, and factories, and
overburdens transportation. all Of
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
1.-THE great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
ton of young and old in a national
thrift movement. l therefore urge
that our reople everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary of the treasury, to the practice of
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
in all fields necessary TO the winning
of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind; to
devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks, and TO buy only those
things which are essential to individ-
ual health and efficiency.
"Ruy More U. S. Securities"
1.-THE securities issued by the treas
ury department are, so many of them.
within the reach of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter Is
wide open to all of us.
II appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Savings stamps
to continue TO practice economy ana
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of mis- money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with the gov
eminent.
81 earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before June % to save constant
ly and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities of the government.
1.-THE 2Sth of June ends this special
period of enlistment in the great vol
unteer army of production and saving
here at home. May there be none I'M
enlisted on that day."

Ill States Except Arizona Receive
Order.

est Selects Reach camps-May
Hold Four Registrations
Yearly.

Washington, June '6.--While a mill
don young Americans were registered
for service in the war, orders went
out from Provost Marshal General
Crowder TO the governors of all states
except Arizona to mobilize between
June "a and % 100000 men.
This brings the total selective serv-
Ice men called up to 1,595,704. When
they are in camp the army will num-
Der over 100000.
The registration yesterday appar-
emily was attended by the perfect or
der that marked the enrolling year
ago of 100000 men.
The men who appeared yesterday
before $500 local boards, military au-
thorities estimate, will yield 100000
fit for active duty.
Many to Go Soon.
While an act of congress requires
that the new registrants be placed
at the bottom of the class to which
they are assigned, many may soon be
called, as Wednesdays requisition
upon governors probably will exhaust
the first class in some states.
While no formal explanation was
made, this was believed to have been
the reason why Arizona was not in
cluded in last nights call.
Results of the second registration
will not be known until late today.
General Crowder has requested the adj
jutant general of each state to tele-
graph him a comprehensive summary
of the result.
Four Registrations Yearly.
Registration days for men hereafter
becoming twenty-one years of age prob
ably would be fixed every three
months.
It is estimated that 100000 men
become of age yearly, and the new
registrants are expected to go far to-
ward keeping up the first class in each
state from which thus far all men for
the National army have been drawn.

'26 STRAIGHT LOSSES
 IS WORLDS RECORD

Waterbury, with it's 10th straight defeat is still some ways from the worlds record of consecutive losses. The hard luck record is held by the Louisville club of the old American Association with a string of 26 straight on the wrong side of the ledger. It is just 29 years ago today that Louisville dropped the 18th con- test.
 No league club has ever suffered so many reverses in row. The follow ing year, 1890, the Pittsburgh Pirates were apparently intent upon smashing the Louisville record, but they fell short by three games, losing 23 games in succession. Although Nimick' s men failed to deprive Louisville of it's dubious record, they did succeed in setting upea National League record. The American League record fol straight defeats was established ir 1906, when the Boston Red Sox, un- der the managementof James J. Col lins, were>yanquished in 20 straight games.
 The old. American Association, in which Louisville see up hard luck record that has endured for nearly 30 years, was classed as a major league. In the following year, how ever, it was another story, and the team that had tasted so much defeat in such big punches captured the pen nant in 1890.

Statistics Show Slight Diff ference in Present and Be fore the War Athletics Other Records

New York, June 22.-Based upon study of the two big college track and field championship meets held this season the conclusion is reached that the entry of the United States into the war has not to date serious ly affected the athletic ability of the various college teams. Notwith- ing the many additional duties that the undergraduates have been called upon to assume, the lack of time for train ing, small suads and inadequate coaching facilities, the best perform ances in the title meets are shown to be .946 per cent. of perfect
 In order to arrive at these figures the very best records made by col lege athletes in the thirteen standard events, at any time, were used as the standard of perfection and the winning time or distance of the best performances in both the I. c.

Hermann In Protest
 To Major Gen. Crowder

Cincinnati, O., June 22-August Hermann, chairman of the National Baseball Commission, in statement which was sent to Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder, yesterday, calls the latter's attention to the fact that 25S baseball players of the 309 pIayexs carried on the reserve lists of the Is major league clubs will be forced to seek other employment if the selec. tive service regulations issued from Washington yesterday are strictly en- forced.
 If the regulations as issued are to be applied to these 25S ball players of tht major leagues that are affect ed," said Herrmann's statement, "it will absolutely crush a business that has more than $8,000,O00 capital in- vested, exclusive of the value of their franchises and players.
 The book value of the combined plants of the 16 clubs, not including the franchise value or the value of players is s8,637,761.12, while the amount subscribed by the officials and stockholders of the various clubs for Liberty bonds amounted to $8,522,- 450."
 The statement brought out the fact that of the 531 reserve players on !! major league clubs on October 1, 1917, 91, or I'll per cent. have vol unteered and 53 or 11.8 per cent. have been drafted into service. Mir Hermann continued.
 T am quite sure that no other line a better showing than this.''
 The statement informs Gen. Crow der that the average salary of the | players who volunteered was $2,- 521.24 and of those who were drafted | $2,441.26 for a periodd of six months only.
 To this paragraph Hermann add { ed: 50, it cannot be held that they sought service in order to benefit their condition from financial standpoint
 The statement adds: Tt will be quite a loss to some of the clubs when their players who are now in classification Al are called. We realize that there cannot and should not be any exceptions made in cases of this kind, and that class of play CTS must stand in the same category as far as the draft regulations are concerned as any other person."
 The statement says that the game | offers a field for relaxation, diversion and recreation unequalled by any amusement throughout the country, | and in conclusion adds: Attention is called to the fact that the professional baseball player is em- pIoyed only during six months of the year and that all of them stand ready ] during the off season, from October i to March, to seek essential employ 1 ment"
