COCHRAN CHALKS
UP RUN OF: 222
Iowa Billiardist Counts 300
in Three Innings Yama-
da Scores 46.

Animated by a desire to show that
he could play better billiards than he
showed in his final game with Young
Jake Schaefer last week, Welker
Cochran, the Iowa expert, gave an as
tonishing exhibition in his game with
Koji Yamada at Days Seventh ave-
nue. room last night. The youngster
made remarkable run of 222 points
in his third inning. This run COM
pleted his score Of 800 points and
gave him an average of 100. AS he
had the worries under perfect control
at the time he counted his final point
it is impossible to estimate how many
he would have run had he continued
on. While he was running out YAM
ada scored only 46.
The youths play was by long odds
the best he has submitted to the in
spection of New York patrons of the
game.
Young Jacob Schaefer also defeated
Yamada. He beat the japanese by
300 to 216 in the afternoon and aver
aged 30.
The tournament between these three
crack players will continue through
out the week. Yamada and Schaefer
will play this afternoon and Cochran
and Schaefer tonight. The scores:
Cochran---7S, 0, 222.- Total, 300; av-
erage, 100.

Giants in Shape for First
Game At Polo Grounds
WHERE THEY OPEN
1918 SEASON TODAY

Chicago, April 1.-THE champion
White Sox planned to aid the third
Liberty loan drive today at the open
ing of the American league season in
this city. Just preceding the game
with st. Louis, the White Sox were
to gather at the home plate and pre-
sent to a flying squadron of statesmen
a check for $4,000 for bonds, every
man in the club being represented in
the check. Between innings the Lib
erty loan flying squadron was to can
vass the grand stand for subscriptions
to the bonds.
st. Louis, April 1.-THE Chicago
and st. Louis Nationals opened the
season here today. Before the game
the band from the Great Lake naval
training station gave concert and a
feature of the opening was a Liberty
loan parade led by the players. Alex
ander, who expects to be called into
military service within a short time,
is scheduled to pitch for Chicago.
Meadows was the probable selection
for st. Louis.
Philadelphia, April 16-Boston and
Philadelphia were scheduled to open
the National league season here to-
day. The usual opening day exercises
were to precede the game.
Cleveland, April 16-When C1eve-
land and Detroit met in the opening
game of the American league season
here today both teams were minus
some of their star players. Detroit
had substitutes in the field for Ty Cobb
and Heilman, while Cleveland was
without Graney in left field. Cobb is
the victim of an acute attack of grip
and it is doubtful whether he will be
able to play in the present series.
| Cincinnati, April 16-Weather per-
hitting, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
will open the National league base
ball season here today. Cincinnati
club officials expected an enormous
crowd. Both teams were reported to
be in good physical condition. Cooper
will probably pitch for Pittsburgh
and either Schneider or Reuther fol
Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, Ohio, April 16.---The Ma

recognized the validity of the con-

Uonge and Schultz with the Kansas
City club and by Kelly with the st.

that the Toronto team of the Inter

DONATE 10 PER CT.
TO THE RED CROSS

Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the
Chicago White Sox, announces that
he will donate 10 per cent. of the re-
ceipts of all of the American League
games at his park this year to the
Red Cross. Comisky inaugurated
this gift a year ago, and his contri-
button amounted to $4,000. Comis-
key has invited sailors from the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station to see
the White Sox open the season with
the st. Louis Browns in Chicago on
Thursday.

FEAR OF FLAX 90.
SEED SHORTAGE

To supply increasing demands for
Iinseed oil the federal government is
urging greatly increased acreage of
flax this year. In our war program
linseed oil as water proofng mater
ial, preservative and in numerous
other ways, has become a war neces-
sity. In our civic life it has countless
and specific uses. Linseed oil has no
satisfactory substitute. We are now
facing shortage. For the last five
years we have relied on importations
for nearly one-half Of our needs. Our
average annual production during
this time has been about 100000
bushels. We have consumed annual
ly about 28,000,0O0 bushels. Cur i'm
portations have largely come from
Argentine. Their last crop was low.
Added to this it is day by day becom-
ing more difficult to charter shipping
vessels-the immediate needs Of our
army and those of our allies being so
greaat. It is our plain duty, there
fore, to supply our own needs. North
Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and
Montana must largely supply the flax
seed. We must increase our acreage.
New lands must be broken and seeded
to flax. Old land, reasonably free
from weeds and not seeded to other
crops, should be made to yield. =:

TAYLOR WOULDN'T
PAY FOR DINNER

Coming up on No. 1 Tuesday night
when it was wrecked was Harvey
Taylor and Attorney Fred friedrich
son. They had ordered a dinner that
was not on the Hoover plan. It was
soup, fish, roast beef, veal outlets,
stewed lamb; etc., and the boys got
nicely down to the table when there
came jerk and a jar and the whole
two dinners landed in Taylor's lap.
He got mad because he got more than
his order called for and refused to
pay. Fredrickson said he would pay
if the waiter could tell which was his
dinner, but that worthy was scared
out Of a years growth and did not
know whether he was afoot or horse
back. The boys escaped without pay
ing for their dinner and are glad that
their lives were spared also. :

BEN OLSON WRITES
LETTER FROM FRONT
France. March 80. 1918.

',.- II dIlCS, V1dICA Nv, 4C4C.
My Dear Mother: Have not receiv-
ed any mail from you for long time,
but l suppose there is lot of mail
in the post office for us fellows. We
are still located out in the woods and
am in the kitchen as yet. / don't
mind being a cook so much, only
hate to roll out of bed at o'clock in
the morning. l work two days and
then am off for two days, so you can
see am not over working myself. j
am getting quite bit heavier than !
was when l left home and feel fine.
We do not know how long we will be
here, but I have heard that we are
due for the trenches some time this
coming month. Red M. has already
been up to the trenches, / have not
seen him but he has written me quite
a number of letters.
front, makes the outlook for an early
peace quite probable, anyway we can
hope for the best. 1t is getting quite
warm now, and the trees are already
beginning co get green. this sure is
going to be beautiful spot in the
summer time. t
I have been going down to a small
village, with a few of the fellows, off
and on for some time, and have be-
come acquainted with some very nice
French people, they are very friendly
to US soldiers, and it is very much
like home. Of course they are poor
and are very hard up for food but
just the same they give us what they
can spare. We were paved just short
time ago, so tibet we sometimes give
them a few francs, (money) for their
trouble. %
One of the places to which we often
go is the home of a woman whose
husband was killed the first year of
the war. She sews shirts for the
French soldiers and is paid about zoe
a day. She has a son who is about
20 years old and he helps support the
family by chopping wood, for which
he receives about 4Oc day. Meat is
almost unheard of to them, some-
times, if they are lucky, they can kill
wild boar, for meat, but they are
getting quite scarce too. We have
had roasted pig about four different
times since I landed here. 1t was
easier to shoot them when we first got
here, but now they stay much further
from camp. They are sure fine eat
ing, there isn't enough fat in one of
the bloomin' things to roast it in, and
besides they are very tender. I would
rather have one of them wild hogs
than those tame ones back home.
Well mother think will close for
this time, the guard has already been
around telling us to blow out our can
dies so had better go to bed. Good
night, mother. l sure wish I was
where I could say it, instead of hav-
ing to write it.
Say hello to every ont. Tell Sis to
write once in awhile.
With love,
Ben.

From Wednesdays Daily

Last spring the makings of a nice
park on Main street on the N. P.
grounds was started and many shrubs
and trees were planted. These were
not taken care of and most of them
died for the want of water. It ap-
pears to the Times Record that this
spring would be good time to re-
plant this park and get it to going.
It certainly enhances the looks and
appearances of the city and when fix
ed up will be nice to look Ct. Maybe
our new park board has this in mind.
