friends here in America are contending
that the most vital question in Amer
lea is the price of dry cow-skins-the
relations of producer and consumer.
What cared this girl for the price OF
cow-skins? What is the problem or
producer and consumer to all the mil
lions of our soldiers In France,
What interest does the price OF dried
cow skins have for this bunch OF boys
who left here last Friday for the train
ing camps? Read all the thousands OF
letters from our soldier boys as they
are published In the various newspa-
pers of the country and not one OF
them ever mentions the problem OF
producer and consumer-the price OF
dried cow-skins Is never mentioned
Why? Because WINNING THE WAR
is the only question they consider and
the only question before LOYAL
AMERICAN CITIZENS. The man, or
set of men, who SO far forget their
patriotism and duty to the soldiers as
to inject the price of cow-skins into
his argument Is either traitor or
fool The men Townley selects to rep

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM
BUD CRANDALL.


Dear Mother:
Just got your letter yesterday. or
rather got both OF them. as they both
came at the same time.
Got the p. O. money order, and
thanks. Eva and l were both fiat. Her
allotment is little behind time this
month, but think she has 1t by now.
l was in to see her Saturday and saw
her a few minutes the Saturday be-
fore. We were still in quarantine that
time though and l didn't have much
time.
l went to the Puget Sound by the
shank route. camped out all night and
dug CLAIMS the next day. Had a very
good time but was tired the next day
as I walked fnom there to Tacoma to
see her. She was sick at the time but
is much better now with the exception
of a cold. 1 think she will go home
next week or soon after when her
mother comes. If her mother don't
come expect she will have to go
alone. We are making preparations
to move 1 don't know how soon and
probably won't ever find out, but the
Division has less than two months to
move in and we will be the first of it
to leave. 1t is rumored that we will go
to Russia, but I would sooner believe
that we will wind up at some eastern
training camp. They are filling the
company up with raw draftmen that
come in every day. We were 80 men
short, so that will make quite little
gap in the training. Will try to let
you know more later, but can't prom
Use, however, you can figure / will do
my best.
7 sent your letter on to Eva last
night. You had the wrong street num-
ber on it. 1t is 107 North First instead
of North Twelfth.
The pictures of Amy I thought were
pretty good took few out on hikes
and will send you some as soon as they
are printed. The last hike it rained
all the time, so I didn't take any. Got
nv first experience in army life and
mud that trip. Great stuff to make
your bed in nice little puddle.
Well, must turn in now as our train
ing has frightened up and day means
a day now. We put in more hours and
follow new schedule closer to war
than before. I guess we are about to
graduate into regulars instead of rook-
les. haven't seen Dugan or Mac
Graw for quite little while, but
guess it's mostly my fault as l spend
most of my spare time in Tacoma II
ever get any MacGraw is in the Of1-
GERS Training school now, having been
promoted to Sergeant before transfer
ring. 1 sure am hoping he makes IL
as no one deserves a rating any more
+ba,, he does and he has had nothing |
but work since he came here.
Well said I was going to bed ana
the Y. M. c. A. man is trying to close
up, so I guess I'll have to STOP
0, yes, 1 cut piece out of a Tacoma
paper and am sending it to you.

on Academy Grounds

The Academy baseball crew had
its first tryout to-day when the nine
met team chosen. from the students
of Tech High school. The Academy
team has not been definitely chosen
yet and to-day's game will give the
candidates n chance to show their
ability under fire.
Esquerro or Stone will probably do
the pitching and England will stand
behind the bat. The infield may con-
sist of Loudermilch, first base; Stew
art, second; MacDougal, shortstop,
and Newlin on the third sack. In the
outfield will be Blocker, Kendry and
Hawkins. None of the candidates can
be sure of their positions as only a
few practices have been held.
Game Tomorrow
Tomorrow the Academy will meet
the Middletown Aero Squadron nine
on the Academy diamond. The game
is scheduled for 2.30. The Academy
is showing interest in its representa-
tives and will probably turn out in a
body. Though the Riverside boys
have Just began their season, some
are experienced players and have
kept in condition during the winter.

The war" season opening day
games were far from failures.
Seven major league cities raised
the curtain on big league base
ball for the season of 1918, and
from the outpouring of fans there
is no reason for the promoters to
feel alarmed.
In the seven cities nearly one
hundred thousand fans passed
through the turnstiles, with New
York, as usual, turning out the
record crowd. Twenty-Five thou
sand are reported to have wit
messed the initial clash between
the Dodgers and Giants at the
Polo Grounds.
Twenty thousand witnessed the
first two opening day games in the
American League on Monday and
eighteen thousand saw yesterdays
skirmish between the White Sox

Many Stars in Army; New
Men Have oGod Records;

One rousing baseball opening is
planned by Charles j. Householder,
manager of the West End A. A. c.,
on May 4. on this date the attrac-
ton will be the Middletown Avia-
tors. 1t is to be Red Cross benefit
and patriotic event. West End fin
ished last season as Dauphin county
, champions.
This aggregation has a reputa-
ton for clean craftsmanship. This
year the same popular policy will be
carried out. Grounds will be located
at Fourth and Seneca streets There
will be increased seating capacity
and the best attractions possible will
be secured.
New Faces in Lineup
The lineup this year will not in
clude a number of stars who have
been factors in making the game
popular, but there will be a goodly
lineup. Scotty Knight is now in
France, Lefty" Challenger. n star
southpaw who left here with the
Governor Troop and is now located
at an instruction school; Beam, the
hard-hitting rightfielder, is located
at one of the government canton
ments serving as a sergeant, and
Ben Kline, the sensational backstop
of last years champions, enlisted
at New York and is somewhere in
France. Players who will be seen
this season include:
Seasons Lineup
Killinger, formerly of the Rose
wood club, u hustling and hard
working player, will probably do the
bulk of the catching, while Hippen-
steel will be an able assistant. The
latter saw service with the Harris
burg State League club. The pitch
ing will be handled by Snowfall"
Winters, who has been connected
with the West End club as their
mainstay on the mound since the
organization of the club. Along with
him the following pitchers are avail
able: Lefty" Alcorn, Earl Walz,
the only twirler tor defeat West End
after reorganizing last year; South
paw Lands, of IIighspire Central
Pennsylvania League team; Bud"
Lingle, a Technical High school
star, and probably "Cy' Davis, of
the Dauphin-Perry League.
First base will in all probability
be taken care of by Jimmy Russell.
the hard-hitting first baseman of
last years winners; second base,
Harry Bell, the captain of last years
club; at his old stand at shortstop
will be found one of the best players
outside of the select class. Bill
Euker. a former Mount st. Mary's
College star. Third base will be
filled by either Kline, of last years
team. or Wrightstone formerly of
the Nc" 'umberland Central Penn
syly" Iia League. This boy is we'll
eJlnDwn. for his clouting. In the out
field, Embick, formerly captain of
the New Cumberland champions:
f"Tim" Euker, a brother of Bill
and a fast base runner, along with
McKeever known as the fly ball
death tran, and Anderson, of local
fame. Walter Smith will most like
iy be used as utility player, he being
an all-around player of no mean
standing.

Fight fans all over the United

not in a ten-round contest. That is

Furthermore, there should be no
ring contest on July 4, is the general
belief
In trying to force the public to see
a ten-round fight between Jess Will
