 BLANK BRAVES

Columbia, s. C., April 6-Though the Yankees overwhelmed the Braves 10 to o yesterday before the biggest crowd that ever gathered on the Uni versity of South Carolina Field, and made it five straight on the series, Miller Higgins is far from being in a happy frame of mind. Al Walters dislocated his left thumb in the third inning and the Yankees star backstop will be out of the game for at least three weeks. Huggins will have to start the American League season with one of his rookie backstops.
 Walters was injured under condi- tions that aroused the fire of his fel- low players, and as a result hard feel ings have. cropped up between the teams. After Slim Love, pitching in superb form, had famed Massey and Wickland in the first inning and whiffed Konetchy and Rawlings in the second the Braves began to accuse Slim of tampering with the ball. They wanted a new ball, but Umpire Cor coran, after examining 1t, kept the ball in play.
 Right after that foul off Wilson's bat landed on stone and cut the ball. It made the sphere take | wicked hop and Love asked for a new one. The Braves kicked and rather than bore the crowd with the con- tinued wrangling the Yankees gave in and Love kept the ball in play. Play was resumed and it was on Loves next delivery that Walters was | injured. As the ripped ball came up to the plate it took a weird hop and struck Al on the tip of the thumb. driving the bone back until it pro- truded through the flesh.
 Walters was attended by an army | doctor, the personal surgeon of Ma 1 jor-General Bailey, comandant of the I S1st Division, Camp Jackson, who at' tended the game with most of his staff Yesterday the doctor said the splints probably could be taken of in a fortnight and Al might be ready for service again in three weeks.
 Walters will accompany the team to | Greenville, where he will take sleeper tonight for New York. He will be accompanied by Scout Joe Kelly, who has been ordered by the club doctor to take a rest.
 While the townspeople turned out in large numbers the majority of the | fans were soldiers from Camp Jack son. Major-General Bailey started the game. He walked out into the pitch CTS box, shouldering Art Nehf aside and put over a, strike on Frank Gill i hooley. It was a real strike, too, for Frank swung on a low ball in an at tempt to lift 1t over the fence and missed by the proverbial mile, much to the joy of the Sammies, who let out a roar that might have been heard in Berlin.
 1 It was too bad that a better game
 could not have been furnished the fans. The Braves not only put up a wretched exhibition, but angered the fans by their continued kicks and wrangling. On account of the Yan- kee cannonading and Boston belches the game consumed two hours and 15 minutes. As the contest was not
 started until 4:30 it was almost
 o'clock when the fans wended their 1 way back to cold suppers.

JACK INCOLDSBY

Jack Ingoldsby, representing the Bridgeport club in the four man in pocket billiard tourney, de- feated George Mccarthy of the Algon- Quin last night at the Bridgeport club, 125 to S7. The victory landed the To- cal furniture salesman in second place and gives him good chance to win the silver cup prize offered to the winner in the event that Brothwell beats Mccarthy and Lynch in turn defeats Brothwell.

sympathetic, but the thought of Wal ter Johnson's recently having had the humps makes us laugh, and we don't know why. There is one man who can be relied on to work his head off to make a good showing this season, and that man is Fielder Jones. He realizes that he's got to do something with his St. Louis Browns or the fans in that town will be demanding his scalp. Incidentally, the wrestling game isn't such bad one to get into, if you can be a topnotcher. There's barrels of money in it, which is proved by the fact that all the prominent wrestlers have larger incomes than any of the boxers except Jess Willard. Zbyszko, recently defeated on a fuI by Strangler Lewis, has earned over $200,- 900 during his six years on the mat, and he expected to pass the half mill lion mark before he retires from the game.
 Zach Wheat still Is on his farm, and Col. Ebbets says he can stay there.
 Stuffy McInnis, in spite of Connie Mack's assertion that he couldn't play third base, is big success in that position.
 It is estimated that Uncle Sam will collect s6OO,OOO from major league games this year as a result of the 10 per cent. war tax on admissions.
 Little Peter Kilduff is. the king pin of the Cubs infield. but he soon may be called to the colors.
 Jack Hendricks, manager of the Cardinals, opines that Horstman will be one of his most effective pitchers.
 Johnny Evers says that he is glad to get out of the National League. But - if he kicks against the umpires this year he may regret his presence in the American League.
 Mighty Ty Cobb says that he doesn't need preliminary practice with the Tigers. He intends to report when he feels like it.
 Sam Crawford, who wanted SS,0O0 to play with major league club may have to be satisfied with half that amount if he plays on the coast.
 John McGraw is enthusiastic over his new pitcher, Jess Barnes, who is expected to be a big winner with the Giants behind him.
 
 Ferdinand Schupp's wing is in shape for the opener at the Polo Grounds a week from next Tuesday.
 As soon as the major league clubs begin to ask for waivers on their young pitchers Miller Huggins will throw out his grappling hooks.
 The Pirates will have hard hitting outfield in King, Carey and Stengel.
 Uncle Robbie is sure that the Brook lyn pitchers will come through If Pfeffer stands up Flatbush fans may forget the past.

Famine at Home In Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as n whole stood ready to fol
low the injunctions Of the Government
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325.000 tons went into dis
trlbution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.

great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
II would be absolutely impossible TO
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments Of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton of sugar. BY II we have been able
to bridge over the period Of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were In sight.
Now the nation is in a position so
that II we choose we may return TO
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go

With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping Between July I
and october 10 we shipped G., $3.50. 800
bushels. II this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
thah 237 500 600 bushels OF wheat and
-four in terms Of wheat.
The result of Increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been that with the cessa.

turn To normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces.
slble markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able 10 have white loaf at the com.
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able TO keep a
steady stream of wheat and flour NOV
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus of
2O,OOO,O00 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of bread
famIne-and in Europe bread Is By far
the most important article in the diet.
All OF this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. by the first
of the year we had managed 10 ship a
little more than 10000. 900 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days. wheatiess
meals, heavy substitution OF other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
N January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only IL We sent an additional TO-
100000 bushels before July could he
take the responsibility OF assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was $4,000 900 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January ] and
July 1. out OF harvest which gave
US only 2o.0oo,000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped III. 900 900 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained. and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience. last
years figures will be bettered.
