need Of funds for the Red Cross, to

to the Reds. and is. back again with the Giants.
 After the Braves of 1913 won the world series, George stallings ac- claimed it the greatest team of all time" Yet less than four full seasons later one finds that only three mem bers of the 1914 aggregation are still on the Braves roster--and not one can be considered regular. Smith. the third saeker, is a utility man. James is practically in retirement and Rudolph is a holdout.
 But 1t isn't only pennant winners that are wrecked in few short years. Looking over the rosters of the big league clubs of today and comparing them with those at the end of the 1913 season brings about some startling revelations
 Of the Browns of 1913, Jimmy Austin Groh is the only relic of the 1914 Reds. Hendrix, the pitcher. is the only Cub of 1918 who is still with the team, while reconstruction work" has moved all but Carey and Cooper from the Pirate roster of less than five seasons ago.
 Doak and Amesi are the only men still with the Cardinals who were regu- lars for that club in 1913. Of course, Bobby Wallace is still a member of that team but his days as a regular campaigner are long passed. Caldwell, Gilhooley and Peckinpaugh alone re- main of tho 1918 Yankees and Daubert Wheat Myers and Miller are the only four Dodgers of today who were with that club five years ago.

CHICKS AND BARONS
 PLAY HERE TODAY
Glazner Will Probably Be Opposed by Fentress.
 Teams About Even

This afternoon Cy Barger will lead his Chicks against the Barons in the first of three-game series. Memphis has had about the same tuck that the locals have encountered thus far this year, so the game should be about horse and horse. Fentress will probably oppose Glazner to- day and it should be another pitchers battle, as both of these hurlers are the stars of their respective staffs.
 Among the new faces on the Chick team gre Bubbles Hargrave. catcher; Slattery at first, Dixine Carroll in center and Aragon at shcrt. Monte Prieste, local boy, is one of Bargers hurlers who has not yet hit his stride. Cy, himself, and Vance seem to be the winning moundsmen, but Fentress is always good for more than half his games.
 Pete Allison, the fleet-footed garden CT, is back in right field and his work will be watched with interest, as there is some argument among fans as to which is the fastest, Pete or Jesse Al tenberg. Press Carutbers, at second base. is one of the most dangerous hitte-s in the league, to say nothing of Fred Bratchi in left.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
px JAMEs J. CoRBErr.

Five years isn't long period as a lifetime is measured. but five years surely brings about remarkable changes in the makeup of major league ball clubs.
 It takes years of painstaking effort Of trades, of purchases and patience in developing youngsters to build up a championship combination. One natur- ally would assume that after a cham pionship ball club has been welded to- gether that the owner would keep the machine intact for years to come. But the records show that pennant win ners and worlds champions are wrecked unceremoniously soon after they have risen to the crest
 The Athletics and Giants were par ticipants in the worlds series of 19i3- and the Athletics triumphed The team that Connie Mack had at that time stood out as one of the most remarka ble in the entire history of the game. But today-less than five seasons later mot one of the Athletics of 1913 are

WAR CLOUD DIVIDES
 HONORS WITH HARE

Pimlico, Md, May 15.-The palm for the best s-year-old of the turf lies between War Cloud. the strapping bay son of Polymelus. owned by A. k. Mccumber, and Col w. E. Applegate's Jack Hare, Jr. They won here today the first and second sections, respectively, of the Preakness, the blue ribbon event of the turf Incidentally they divided a purse of ssO000.
 The first section was the most spectacu- lar 10 the 30,000 spectators who crowded the historic PimHco course, especially the close finishing of sunny Slope, who was second three-quarters of length behind the winner and who had held out a promise of giving his supporters $l04 for a S2 investment.
 George D. widener's Lanlus, the fa- vorite, was a poor third. 10 lengths be- hind.
 Jack Hare Jr., was the faprite in ths second section, but the glamour of his victory was somewhat taken off because of the scratehins of five entries, leaving Jack Hare, Jr., The Porter, Kate Bright. Trompe. La NIorte Nepherhan and Re- count who finished in that order.

stiu wearing Philadelphia livery. Inei- dently, when it comes to being a ruth less reconstructionist. Mack takes his place as the greatest of them all.
 At the opening of the 1918 season the Athletic leader retained only one play CT of his 1917 squad-Elmer Myers who is also the only survivor of Con- nies 1915 and 1916 teams. Each and every one of nearly 200 players who have disported as Athletics since 1913 have been traded or sold to other teams, or have faded into the minors.
 The team that John McGraw sent into world series action in 1913 sized up as one of the best that the Giant dhieftain ever had developed. Yet he has almost entirely reconstructed the Giants since that time Only six of the 1913 Giants still are under McGraw's s leadership and Tesreau, Fletcher and Burns are the only ones who have been Giant regulars since that time. Of the other three, Doyle has served time" with the Cubs since 1913, Demaree was with the Cubs and Phillies for time, and Thorpe was sent to the minors, then

 one of the farms in Michigan near Detroit there is to be observed today by farmers who may be interested and men of science who are sure to be interested, a phenomenon which is in the form of an experiment that may be of lasting value to the American farmers. A portion of the farms was selected for this experi- ment. One-half was sewed to corn. in soil which was to serve as the test. In the other half corn was sewn as 1t GUS tomarily is planted by the farmers To- day the corn that was planted upon that portion which was to furnish the test is considerably more than a foot high.

Every American Is
Called To The Colors

Our Government is calling all the
people of America to unite their
strength and their resources against
the destroyer Of the worlds peace.
Shall we heed The calling or shall we
nestle in snug comfort while our
brothers face the disasters, endure
the privations and deserve the hon
ors of this war against the oppres-
sor?
Yesterdays Baltimore Evening
Sun published the cable that was
sent from Germany 10 the German
Ambassador. Won Bernstorff, at
Washington, in 1915, advising him
that they were going to sink the Lu-
citania, and it is matter Of history
that through the Kaiser's orders the
Lusitania was sunk, and with her
the citizens of our country and our
innocent women and children were
drowned like rats in a trap. This is
d sample of the methods. of Kaiser
ism which seeks to conquer the
world. Millions of the best citizens
of Germany have long ago left their
native country and sought refuge in
our land, and other lands, from the
evils of the iron hand of the Kaiser.
Hundreds of thousands of our
young men have gone to offer their
youth upon the high fields of war,
and to meet the perils and priya
tons of the battle front, the loneli-
ness of strange and war-stricken
land, and face the terrible realities of
war, as Americans, to win victory
70 rour arms and universal liberty.
AS loyal American citizen you
must help those boys by lending
your money to your Government.
This is not charity, it is your sacred
duty, and the Government will pay
you back every Csc. you spend for q
Thrift Stamp and every $4.13 you
spend for a War Savings Stamp, with
4 per cent. interest, compounded.
Lend your money to your Govern
ment through the purchase of these
stamps. Your country needs your
help. DO 1T NOW.

CLASS ONE MEN.

GENERAL CROWDER probably comes nearer knowing
what he is talking about than anyone else, when 1t
comes to gaugng the probable requirements OF the Aner
can army. He has again expressed the opinion that the
Cla. No men probably will be able to fill all future
calls for the army This class includes without dc
pendents with the possible exception Of newly acquired
wives, 1t is in accordance with the workings of the draft
plan that those who best be spared should do the fight
ing Theirs is a privilege as we'll a a duty for it is
something to assume the heaviest burden OF this
Ii is figured that from 100000 to 600 men will reach the
draft age each year Of whom will be available for
military service Those with 100000 in Class No
still available from the first registration will provide
in addition our present force of 10000 hereabouts
large army within the next two years will in fact pro
vide rapidly they can be trained or equipped
with present facilities.
These figures are impressive evidence of Americas man
power when il is considered how France and Great Britain
are combng those countries for additional soldiers 1t is
possible the progresses, may be required OF
America than now seems probable II it is we have the
men for such an army Ten million would be as pos
sble for us far the manpower concerned six
million has been for Britain Our transportation problem,
however greater and unless shpbudng passes present
plans, we couldn't maintain large an army abroad
But, while it evident that the Glass !
will do most of fighting their gallant going adds
further responsibility to all who stay at home whether

American soldiers have failed in that and heros
is common to all armies But the fighting

humanity possible The added burden of labor their going
