mErHoplsr CHOIR AELPs.
CONSERVE COAL.
The Methodist choir is aiding in the
conservation OF coal BY not meeting
for choir practice at tho church; as
has been the custom for many years.
Since about the first of January they
have been meeting at the homes of
the various ehe3r members. This
does away with heating up the church
in the middle Of the week and thus
saves a considerable number OF pals
of coal.

Louisville couldn't hit Northrop
consistently, and lost to Indianapolis
in the American association Friday,
3 to l. The defeat pulled the Colo
nels- from q tie for first place into
third place.
Urban Shocker held Detroit to three
hits in the American league Friday,
and st. Louis won, 8 to 2. The game
was called at the end of the eighth to
allow st. Louis to catch a train.
Chicago outhit Cleveland, but had
its hands full winning, to 2, even
with the aid of five Cleveland fielding
errors.
Here's coincidence. Two games in
the American association Friday, and
both scores 3 to 1. Two games in the
American league, and both scores 3
to 2.
Youngs single with the bases full
gave New York q to l victory over
Philadelphia in the National league
Friday, making two of three in the
series for the Giants. Zimmerman s
wild throw in the ninth started a

burgh game at Pittsburgh Friday, the
Pirates finally winning, IL to Z. Six
pitchers took places on the mound.

The chances are Provost Marshal

formed as to the ages of the men
playing ball In the big leagues. War
Secretary Baker frankly says that he
believed most of the men were either
over the draft age or were under It.
It Is safe to say that when 1t comes
to a showdown the government will
regard baseball as essential, and II
1t appears that General CrowdeE,s
sufficient exceptions Will be made to
permit the various leagues to come
through the season all right. Just
what the sentiment is as regards the
grand old game is reflected in the
recent action of the commissioners of
the District of Columbia VINO of their
own accord raised the ban on Sunday

Athletic sharps have argued for a
number Of years over the respective
merits Of the late Martin Sheridan
and Jim Thorpe, now playing with
the New York Giants, as aIl-around
athletes. There has never been any
room for argument, save in track
and field work. With baseball and
football considered. Thorpe stands
head and shoulders over any man
ever developed in this or any other
country. In track and field events
there was not much to choose be-
tween the two men. Thorpe was bet
ter in the high jump, the sprints and
the hurdles, while Sheridan exeelled
with the weights and particularly
with the discus. Since Sheridan and
Thorpe quit active competition. there
has been no man developed to take
their places. Howard Berry, late OF
the University Of Pennsylvania, was q
very versatile athlete, but not ia the
class OF Sheridan AMI Thorpe.

idol. Boston must always have an
Smokey Joe Wood. The Boston fans
used to think Wood was the greatest
hurler baseball ever had. We remem-
Der reading long stories about Wood
when he was in his prime in which
the serious minded Beantown scribes
sought to prove he could throw a ball
much faster than Walter johnson.
Hence Wood must necessarily ne
better pitcher than Walter. But Wal
ter is still winning ball for Washing
ton and Wood is trying to develop
himself into an outffelder for the
Cleveland team.
Then came iris Speaker. Boston
tonlzed Tristan, and not without
good cause, but iris passed to anoth-
err club, and it was necessary to get a
new idol Now the honor falls upon
the broad shoulders Of Mr.. Ruth. Ruth
is a pitcher with a remarkable bat
ting eye and a certain skill as a field
er. Manager Barrow, of the Red Sox,
says the fans are SO wild about Ruth
that it's almost necessary to play him
in every game, If not in the box, then
at first base or in the outfleld. When
1t is considered that Ruth is leading
the American leaguaN batters with a
hitting mark over 400 one can't
blame the Boston fans very much.
Uncle Sam has settled all questions
as to whether Bill James will come
back with the Boston Braves. Uncle
Sam says no, for Bill has been called
in the draft. The Braves hardly will
miss him.

Automobile racing this season
promises to be one Of the most sue
cessful in the annals of the sport.
Already pretentdous race meetings
have been arranged for the speed
ways at Sheepshead Bay. Chicago.
and Providence, as we'll as for the
tracks in other cities throughout the
country.
Great impetus has been given the
sport by the announcements of Dario
Resta, Arthur Duray, and Barney
Oldfield that they intend to make
this the most active season in their
careers. These three are among the
most sensational and most daring
drivers. and the fact that they will
be seen on all the big speedways
should serve to draw out record
throngs at every meet.
Oldfield is the dean Of auto pilots,
having maintained his place in the
championship division for more than
seventeen years. Resta, who held
the title Of Speed King in 1915 and
1916, is out to regain the laurels he
voluntary relinquished last season,

The presence of a red blooded In
dian on ball club always lends
q touch Of color to that team-not
meaning to perpetrate puny pun,
either.
TO begin with the Indian is usual
~ a good ball player, q man who is
particularly well trained in at least
one department of the play. This
and the rarity Of his athletic breed
make him stand out from the con-
ventional background.
At no time has there been a multi
tuIe OF Aiborigines in the majors.
Nor have the minors been over
crowded with them for that matter.
Today Jim Thorpe and Zach Wheat
are the representative Indians in the
large leagues. Thorpe is a substi-
tute with the Giants; Wheat is
I probably the star player OF the
Brookdyns. q don't believe either
man lis a, full-blooded Redskin In
deed 1T is not generally known that
Wheat has Indian blood in his veins
but it is a fact.
The two greatest Indian ball play
ers OF recent years were Chief Benz
der, who gained undying fame as a
member Of the famous old Athletics,
and Chief Meyers, who played an
equally conspicuous role ia the
Gag winning campaigns Of the old
