Rickenbdcher, Speed Weary
Would Go 5 Miles An Hour

where huge charts and b~lackboards
kept track Of the whereabouts of all
planes and record of flights and VIC
tories.
When an aviator returned with
news of German planes shot down
the victories were chalked on the
blackboard, showing the airman's
name, the date, the location of his
victory. and the type of hun plane
shot down.
The victory chart carried two
names more prominently than others.
Seemingly every other name : was
either R~ickenbacher or Lieut.. Luke.
The latter was Frank Luke, the
Phoenix, Ariz., ~schoolboy reported
killed.
Luke, a nineteen-year-old boy, had
ten official victories and four still n
confirmed conquests to his credit
His speciality had been the daring toS
of shooting down German observation
balloons.
Rickenbacher not only shot down a
German Hanover plane, but captured
1t. At the same time an infantry
regiment opened rife fire on a Ger
man Fokker, brought 1t down and
captured 1t. Both were at Ricken-
baeher's field, only slightly damaged.

charge of the Y. NJ. C. A. athletic work
Is Elwood s. Brown who, while in the
PHILIPPINES, did the same work with
General Harboard and the Command
er-fn-chiefs present athletic officer.
The program Is divided into four
parts. There will be mass exercises
and athletics In each battalion and
regiment. Second. there will be cham
pionship events for the American Ex-
peditionary Force, working up with
elimination contests through conn.,.
panies. battalions, regiments, divisions
corps and armies. There will be q
pageant to show the French the best

nastic A B @ to help develop the
French. The armistice practically
doubles the number of men to train
and greatly increases the need of ply
steal directors and funds. The vast
army physical development program
with the Y. M. G. A. cooperation
can much for the American physi-
que.
Isolated detachments will be drawn
into larger concentrations to enable
the men to have the benefit of this
athletic program. The events will
constitute practically an Oly1npiad
among the American and Allied forces,

GUS meets held in New York City for
the benefit Of the War Work drive
and in each of these c he has had
to aflot as much as hfty-ive yards to
a large number of men. In each race
the local runner has had to start from
the scratch mark and pass as many
as twenty-three men before victory

PARIS. Nov. 23:-Captain Eddie
Rickenbacher, American ace of aces,
who is said to have fred the last shot
in the war, has an ambition.
The Columbus. o., ~speedster wants
to find out how 1t feels to go slow.
when 1 get home I'm going to
buy a club-footed mule and a cart
and travel across the United States
the premier flyer says. THE speed
limit will be five miles an hour"
Rickenbacher smiled, but there
was q serious light in his eyes The
contrast seems to appeal to him.. He
spent years in automobile racing and
many strenuous months in air speed
ing.
The ace Of aces is modest, like
most aviators. He has eighteen off,
cial victories to his credit. And his
comrades say he has brought down
as many more hun planes unofficially.
To get credit for an official victory
an aviator must have the affidavit of
an officer who saw the boche plane
fall. 1t is obvious that American
aviators have shot down numerous
planes without being fortunate
enough to have an officer witness the
victory

PAGERS Defeat Coast Guards

There was a very scrappy and In
teresting game played on the basket
ball court of the Y. NJ. O. A. last
night. A newly formed team called
the PAGER Five tried conclusions with
a team comprised Of several of the
u. 8. Coast Guards stationed in this
city. The naval boys were at a de-
cided disadvantage because they had
never played together before and
most of them had not donned the
basketball togs for several years.
Nevertheless the game was exciting
throughout and the first half ended
in the close score of ST with the
PAGERS leading. But in the second
half experience and practice told and
the PAGER team pulled out ahead at
the enc of the game with q score of
23-S. The Coast Guards lined up with
Ansteth and Schenkenberger, for
wards; Griffith. center: Ryan and

was represented by Cheshire and

ter: Jensen AMI Hubbard. guards.
Dickson supplansed Jensen as guard

Recognized by the highest officials
of the army and nav as the one
sport best calculated to develop the
fighting qualities of our soldiers and
sailors. each training camp has had
Its corps of boxing instructors.
Every man sent overseas has had
his share of training with the gloves.
Then, too, short bouts have form-
ed one of the main sources of recreat-
ton for the men in service both
abroad and in this country"
And 1t Is safe to say that on the
return of these men to civil life the
greater portion of them will want to
continue to see good, clean bouts.
THE opportunity Is before us to es~
tablish boxing on a better basis than
ever before and there is no reason
why we cannot organize the game
In such a way as to regain popular
approval"

(feOQtcS s W0tlOndt DdNH OF PlttS-
burgh)
There has never been n time when
watched or when the need of caution
in this respect was greater than at the
present. The volume and urgency Of
war supplies for ourselves and our al
lies is strong temptation to over
expansion of productive facilities, and
at the same time these government
orders are being seized upon in some
instances as an excuse or justification
for slow settlements. There is no par
allel for existing commercial and
financial conditions at home or abroad,
and many signs which in the past have
been accepted as justifying prepara-
tions for big business in the future
have proved to be unreliable, due to
some new emergency arising which
warranted or was construed as war
ranting restrictive government meas
we'll founded plans for trade eXpan-
Sion. A case in point is The position
OF manufacturers of automobile parts,
following the government order regu-
lating the manufacture of pleasure cars.
and the use of shipping facilities for
the movement Of material required in
such manufacture. Similar regulations
have affected many contractors, par
ticularly road contractors, to such an
extent that they have been forced to
abandon work in progress and ask
creditors for extensions of varying
lengths.
In some departments of the steel
trade distinct tendency to slower COL
]ections is noted One OF the most pop
ular excuses, aside from non delivery
of material, is the large amount Of
working capital tied up in government
contracts. Apparently some concerns
CT considerable responsibility, as soon
as they have closed contracts for gov
ernment work, have felt a certain de-
gree of security in the matter of fnanc
ing. counting upon the willingness of
their merchandise creditors to carry
them if necessary. Whatever may have
heen the practice OF the government six
months or more ago in the matter of
payment on account of deliveries on
contracts, it no longer expects special
concessions from its contractors and
supply people. Recent conferences be-
tween government disbursing officers
and representatives of producers Of raw

I. G. Cranwell, president of the COM
pany stated in his annual renort n
stockholders that the figures for 1917
show an increase of at least 33 Ia nor
cent IN the number of cans produced
over 1916.
The cost of all materials COMPRISING
our products" he said, "has continued
70 advance; also labor and every other
Item as we'll, and there is at present no
Indication of any reduction along these
lines. We continue, however, to price
our inventories upon a reasonable basis
SO that when the period of readiust-
ment arrives we hope not to have Jros-
tic losses to absorb.
The problem of the supply of raw
material, fuel and Transportation Is y
serious one. The fact that nearly oS
per cent of our entire OUTPUT Of t;n
cans is used for food products shonjd
assure to us such help from the food adj
mlnistration as is necessary to enable
MS TO operate our facilities in 1919 IN
fulfill our obligations to the food nnc..
ers.
The outlook for 1918 is most graf
ifying, and despite our large increases
IN manufacturing capacities we have
