CUBSNOW
SAILING ALONG IN
FRONT OF GIANTS

NEW YORK, June FIRED Mitch
ell and his Chicago Cubs have today
reached their objective in the National
League race.
For the first time since the opening
of the season the erstwhiIe pace-mak-
ing Giants have been torn from the
lead, and the Cubs stand in irst place
by a margin of half a game. With
these teams racing neck and neck,
and the Cincinnati Reds close behind
them. the pennant hunt in the Ma
tinoaI is settling down to a real
hattie.
Both the Cubs and Giants have sUf-
fered heavy blows in the loss Of star
players. The drafting OF Grover Alex
ander was a staggering blow to the
Cubs. The loss of Larry Doyle has
apparently disorganized the Giants.
So far McGraw's team has been IN
able to recover from the loss OF Doyle.
But the Cubs, minus Alex. are going
great guns. Fred Mitchelrs uncanny
ability to handle his pitchers. and
the gallant work of Merkle, Deal, and
Paskert, three veterans who are play
ing real baseball, has put the Cubs in
the lead.
The acquisition OF Charley Holla-
char. the new Cub shortstop, rounded
out Chicago's inheId combination. and
Mitchell has a strong club is every
department.

RETURNING TOBOX
NJ JOE s. JACKSON.

DETROIT, June There is a suspi-
cious CLEAN and a steely glitter in the
eyes OF Mr.. Griffith that causes fore
bodings OF fearful nature in the minds
OF his young men. With not a word
said by him, II is believed that Nick
Altrock's success in grabbing a 3-to-2
rain-shortened game from the Tigers
on Thursday, is causing Griff to won
der II he is not still the little Old
Gray Fox. and II he. too. should not
take a turn on the mound here.
II Nick can do IL, he can. Griff
thinks Nick is forty-two years old.
Griff suffers from what is known as
monolanial asphasia, which causes a
man to lose comprehension OF just one
subject, his age. The Washington boss
thinks that he became a victim Of
suspended animation on his frtieth
birthday.
Griff, however. probably will be
dissuaded. The thing that Altrock
did cannot be done again, though
Nick is going to have a try at il in
the city OF his greatest triumphs.

Jennings used Cunningham when

Probably no other pitcher would have

one Of Cobb's old tricks for the first
run.

HeatIess Monday Order Will Not

Acute Coal Shortage and Severe
Weather In East Prevents Lift

Washington, Feb. THE govern
ment has decided, in view of the fact
that the east is facing the most acute
coal shortage of the winter and is in
the grip of the coolest weather in a
generation, that the heatless Monday
program cannot be abandoned at this
time
The conclusion to continue the clos
ing was reached at conference be-
tween Fuel Administrator Garfield and
Railroad Director General McAdoo at

traitors. There was no official an
nouncement, but joint statement
probably will be given out.
There had been every indication up
to Monday night that the Monday
holidays were over, but reports
brought to Washington by the state
fuel administrators that throughout
most of the East there is on hand but
one days supply of coal, coupled with
the weather situation, were accepted
as convincing proof that the present
is no time to lift the closing order.
Four-Day cIosings Considered.
There are some indications that if
better weather does not come to i'm

up for consideration an amendment to
the closing order prescribing two four
day shut downs, one covering the
period of Lincoln'S birthday anniyer-
sary and the other Washingtons birth

falls on Tuesday, bringing a three-day
holiday over Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday. If Saturday, usually OBJ
served as half holiday, were made a
complete holiday, this would give a

ST. Paul, Feb. THE food admin
istration, in order to save wheat and
encourage the use of it's substi-
tutes the food administration has or
dered "a two-ounce wheat bread ra.
ton for patrons of hotels, cafes, res
taurants and dining cars, and decreed,
as an alternative, permission to
serve as high as double that ration
of a substitute alone-corn, oatmeal
Or bran. The wheat bread allowance
is said to be about that now observed
in England.
Washington adyices to this effect
were received by Walter A. Pocock.
st. Paul, Minnesota representative
for the food administration. Mr..
POcock at once wired chairmen of
his Is district committees instructing
them to pass the word to all places
in their jurisdiction.
Double Weight of Substitute.
Not more than two ounces of wheat
bread may be served to any one al
any meal, according to the regula-
ton. Furthermore, when rolls or
bread made from corn, oatmeal or
bran are served in place of wheat
bread, and when only one such sub
stitute is served, the portion may be
four ounces. Rolls may not weigh
more than one ounce each.
The dispatches sent from Washing
ton to hotel representatives in all
states directed them also to see that
immediate observance was given to
hotels to Monday and Wednesday as
wheatless days, Tuesday as meat
less day, Saturday as porkless
day and to having one wheatless and
one meatless meal every day.

A. D. Wilson, federal food admins

rye had been placed by the govern
ment in the same class with wheat
and hereafter rye flour or meal
should not be sold except with an
equal weight of recognized wheat
substitutes. In other words, the lat
ter now become wheat-and-rye substi-
tutes. Rye has joined the class of
