Winning but one game In the last
seven played, the Grinmen have drop
ped in the space of nine days IS per-
centage points. and. whereas last
Saturday morning they were but two
and a half games behind the then
Indians. they now are
six and a half games in the rear Of
the Red sox. who are once more at
the top Of the heap. Tho Nationals
record before the first game of the
series with the Browns a week ago
last Saturday showed they had won
six more games than they had lost.
They now are but one above the 500
mark, only one full game ahead of
the hfth-place Browns and a game
and a half in the van Of the sixth
position White Sox.
The Nationals had q grand chance
to scramble to the tcp of the heap
before the Browns arrived. But they
promptly hit the creased chute, and
they are still sliding. OF the six
games lost to st. Louis and Detroit
the locals were blanked in three. and
three Of them weres decided by one
run. In every game except the one
the Griffmen have had q flock Of run
ners left stranded on the paths, and
in that 'tussle a bingle or two at the
proper juncture would have altered
the aspect of the game. It has not
been so much lack of hitting-al-
the Browns and Tigers ac-
quired ten more hits in the seven
games than the Griffmen-as It has
been. the lack of timely blows. The
enemy pitching has far surpassed
that Of the local stan in the point of
and in fielding the op-
position has much the better Of the
argument. being charged with only
nine misplays as against sixteen
chalked against the Griffs. Inferior
pitching. sloppy fielding and lack of
timely hittinEi No wonder the Ma
have attained victory In only
one Of their last seven games.

Must Make Sacrifices.

The majority of the board, In dis
putting Henry's claim that base ball Is
necessary as affording needed recre-
alton and in contributing to the con-
duct OF the war by tax, the purchase
of liberty bonds and other contribu-
tions say:
I'VE believe that the continuance of
the business of the registrants em-
ployers is secondary to the winning
of the war. and that they must neces-
sarily expect to mako some sacrifice;
that the financial welfare Of the reg
istrant is amply provided for in a
manufacturing business located in
Amherst, Mass. which he controls,
and that he and they must neces-
sarily expect to share In the sacri-
fees that are being demanded of
American citizens: that the amount of
recreation or relief from the stress
and strain derived from base ball by
those who are not going to war, or
who are not employed in lines of in
dustry that will contribute to the
winning Of the war, is greatly over
estimated by the regfstrant; and
finally that the proportion of the earn
ings of himself and his employers
that goes into war taxes, liberty bonds
and other war contributions is in no,
material measure larger than that of
many millions of citizens who already
contributed generously, not only with
their money, but with their flesh and

Combination

Troco is churned from the fat extracted
from the white meat of coconuts - the same
dainty tropic delicacy you use shredded on cake
- combined with pasteurized milk.
1t is as nutritious as butter and even more
digestible. Like butter it is energy food of the
highest value.
You will use Troco in place of butter solely
for quality - because you rarely find butter so
pure and sweet. Your dealer will supply you
