Shonks as Lead Off Man

What regular" in the ranks of the
Nationals would you pick as least
likely to make good at the important
assignment of leading off in the bat
ting order? Righto. Shanks. Yet this
remarkably versatile athlete, placed
at the top of the list after Shotton
developed a case Of charley horse a
week ago yesterday. has more than
justified Manager Grifith's judgment
in casting him in such a prominent
role The chief duty of lead-off man
is, first, to get on the bases and then
run 'em. A perusal Of Shanks' record
in the six contests he has started

Cruise was scarcely less prominent
in the National League than Felsch

placed in Class of the draft. yester-
day was ordered to report Immediate
ly to his home draft board at Syla-
cauga, Ala, for special examination.
Whether the action taken in the case
of Cruise is a result of the general
of registrants under
taken last month or is due to the
work -or-fight edict. the provisions of
which became effective yesterday, was
not made known. If the latter his
may prove to be a test case by which
local draft boards all over the coun-
try will be guided. When he left
for his home Cruise announced he
would contest his reclassification on
the grounds that he Is married and
the father Of children. Should his
local board decide that, base ball be-
ing regarded as non-essential in
dustry. he will have to obtain en-
ployment of a nature to aid in Win

day in the contest between Tool and
Miscellaneous and Ordnance in the

the third inning. getting ten players
across in that period. Tool and Mis-
cellaneous counted five of its seven
runs in the seventh.
Not only were more runs made. but
in all probability tho record for
errors was broken, nine misplays re-
sulting from inability Of the players
to handle the ball properly. Tool and
Miscellaneous blundered fifteen times
and Ordnance four. The game really
was one of the few mediocre exhi-
bitions that have taken place in the

and is finding his new field a most
important and interesting one.
The speeding up of production
in this country is most vital now,
so that we may be able to ship
fuller equipment with our men and
purchase less from our allies. We
also need the extension of our
present arsenals. such as is under

If Colonel Burr could send back
