American Association Baseball Club.
will attend the annual meeting Of the
national association to be held at
Peoria, ILL.,, on November IL, ID and
Ia. Among the many subjects which
may be discussed is the advisability of
opening the 1919 season-if the war has
come to successful conclusion.
"Then, too, talk Of a third major
league may be revived" said
Mr.. Timme. "Last year, when certain
lnagnatcs of the association were de-
tcrmined to disrupt the A. A., fought
against such proposals. This year,
however, at the Peoria gathering l will
support such move.

annual meeting Of the American Asso-
citation at Chicago early in December,
in the opinion of the local club
owner"

We have rarely found it necessary
to come to the defence of Miss Molla
Bjurstedt, national indoor and outdoor,
metropolitan, New Jersey, Longwood
and West Side Tennis Club and half q
dozen other kinds of woman lawn ten

on the clay and turf courts of this
country speaks for itself, and in more
convincing manner than could any
words Of ours.
And in this particular instance, it
is not to defend the quality of the
wonderful Norwegian girls game, but
rather to reply to the statements of
an anonymous critic, that we rise to
make few remarks. Ordinarily, the
communications that come to this de-
partment unsigned are deposited in the
waste basket, together with the other
debris that has a habit Of collecting
around newspaper offices.

several points, so we feel it incumbent
upon ourselves to set him, and any

the force of the argument advanced by

U.S.Awakening
To the Value
OfThoroughbreds

The fact that the Federal govern
ment and +he New York state constab-
ulary have nominated stations in the
class for clean bred sires suitable to
improve the general purpose horse
type of the country at the coming ex-
hibition of the National Horse Show
Association is significant. 1t indicates
an awakening on the part of state and
Federal authorities to realization of
the prepotency of the thoroughbred and
their utilization of this quality along
the same lines which have made the
breeding of the general purpose horse
type science in Continental Europe.
1t took some time to arouse those in
authority in Washington to sense Of
the danger which threatened in the way
Of cavalry horse shortage, but there
Is every indication to-day that the work
CT breeding remounts will from now on
be prosecuted with vigor.
The best horsemen in the War and
Agriculture departments have been in
trusted with the work, and if the ap-
preparations for the exploitation of the
ambitious plans which have been pre-
pared are forthcoming all will be we'll.
stations OF the right type have been
Jockey Club and by various breeders
and sportsmen.
Still others have been bought by the
experts of the remount department and
many OF them are ready at the breeding
stations in Oklahoma, Montana and Vir-
ginia.
There are many fine horses among
them, some of English and American
lineage, many of pure American and oc-
caslonally horse of French and Amer
lean blood. OF the latter unquestionably
the finest specimen is the chestnut horse
Adams Express, which is the govern
ment's candidate for the Garden Show.
This horse, now ten years old, is by
rich blood as France can boast of. and
1t blended perfectly with The Licking
ton-Glencoe strain, which came through
Frederick, daughter of Frederick the
, Great, a horse which was for some
years in the Aston Stud. at Rhinebeck.
Frederick had thrown a good indi-
vidual in Barleythorpe when mated
with the English sire Woolsthorpe, but
Adams Express is a tremendous i'm
provement on any of Frederica's other
foals and those who want to see~the per-
lection Of sire for the production of
the general purpose horse type should
inspect the regal chestnut at the Gar
den.
F.. Ambrose Clark, Major Robert
Strawbridge and Captain G. A. Roy,
Of the French High Commission, who
inspected him for the government. saw
he is a model for the purpose and
that he is the oest horse secured to
date.

After receiving preliminary training
near his home in the East. he was sent
South, and has not been heard from

"The only word we ever received was
last Christmas, when he wrote: Re

Ecklund, if he decides to come out

fatally; but he escaped with only cuts
and bruises on his hands, arms, hip

Cured he was standing on the pave

in a seven passenger touring car came
down Cedar avenue, and turning too
short the car ran up on the pavement

by surprise seized hold Of the mud

this act simply made matters worse for
him and he was thrown down and one
Of the wheels passed over him. He
was able to get up in time to get a
glimpse Of the license tag, and the a

driver was identified, but was in such

could be gotten out of him. The a

Was an American.
221 East Cedar Avenue.

The Second Indiana artillery is re-
sponsible for this story: In one Of its
companies there is a young Austrian,
who loves America with a greater in
tensfty than he hates the despotism
back home" He was one Of the first
men from his home town to enlist in
that regiment.
A superior officer had come to In
spect the company. He gave direc-
lions as to the way he was to be sa-
luted, etc. "Now, we'll try you out
and see if you've got all my direc-
tions," he ended. wen begin by CALI
Ing the roll.
"As your names are called advance
two steps, salute your superior Off
GER and answer Here"
The clerk took up the list of names
and began calling. And 10, the Aus
TRANS name, like "Abou Ben Ad-
hem's," led all the rest. For a few
minutes the young fellow stood hest
tating, because he had not understood
much of what the officer had said.
Encouragingly the officer started to
raise his hand. A broad smile Of re-
lief spread over the Austrian's face.
A few rapid steps-he was across the
room, seized his superior officers hand
and gave it a hearty American shake.
Amid Of laughter the officer
ruefully examined his crushed fingers.
Hes an American now, all right" he
said sagely.

Save Sugar

The Food Administration for New
Jersey still finds it necessary to call at
tention to the fact that in many places
there is need for conservation Of sugar
to get down to the two pounds per
month per person allowance. The cut
ting down to eight ounces weekly per
person is the present task of the Ameri-
can people, in order that our army and
the allies may not suffer. 1t means
that We must confine ourselves to three
level teaspoonsful daily, for tea and
coffee, and three for cereals and cook
ing. There are many clubs and small
eating places where the sugar bowl Is
still in use, but they must give way to
measure allowances.
The American people showed their
mettle by saving wheat enough to tide
the allies over a bad situation. The
sugar shortage can be met with equal
resolution.
Various recipes have been received
persons may have anne by applying at
the Office of the local food administra-
tor.
A telegram has been received stating
that all sugar statements for the new
quarter should be at the Office of VIM.

So far the marriages have been be-

ChslS AFTER
ADEREAM HUSBANDS
Newspapers Urge Matches and
Suggest Future Resi-
dence In France

Paris, August 7, Correspondence OF
the Associated Press)-"Let me give
you a little advice,~ says a writer in
the Intransigeant, addressing himself
to the maidens of France. "There are
many Americans in France and you
know very well how charming they
find you. They find our women more
disposed to be fellow workers with
them than most of other countries, they
appreciate you highly, but, my dear
little French girls, you must not be fri
volous. Americans are grown-up chill
dren, somewhat ingenious, a trifle Pur-
itan, and quite ready to marry you,
and an American husband and q French
wife make an excellent married couple.
So do not waste the chance of that
marked purity which is 80 seldom found
among the men of ancient Europe"
Another writer, in the Petit Journal,
welcomes the report that American :
French marriages are becoming very
common, as excellent from the idyllic
and sentimental point of view also for
the fusion of the two races, but express
es some anxiety as to its effect on the
re-population of France. He fears that
when 1t is over the American husbands
will carry away their French wives a.
cross the Atlantic and France will lose
that many households, a loss that the
country is In no condition to stand.
The writer quotes a letter that he has
received from a French girl, engaged to
An American, in which she says she
had laid down no conditions in ac-
cepting the proposal, but had made
her fiance understand that after the
war there would be work for everyone
In France, and so he had promised to
remain in France, and if children came
they should be French citizens.
There's a good example" comments
the article. "Let all French girls fol-
low IL. America will not be percepti-
bly, poorer and France will be enriched.
1t is one more kind act that we can beg
from our Allies and one they are not
likely to refuse"
