WAR HAD LITTLE
EFFECT ON S. A. |.
SUPPORT LAST YEAR

Last year was the most successful
Of all s. A. L. seasons. While all
other leagues were closing on account
of non-attendance the s. A. L. was
playing to more people than ever be-
fore.
And from the playing end 1t was a
dandy. Up to the last game no one
knew to whom the championship
would go.
Simplex and Natco were practically
tied for first place during the entire
season. They played series OF i've
games and Natco won the first, Sim.

Simplex the fourth and fifth.
One Saturday both of the first place
teams were defeated by the second
division clubs. jenkins Vulcans turn.
ed the tables and defeated the Sim
plex and in the second game of the
afternoon Malleable-Pennsys defeated
the Eatcos and both games were one
sided scores.
The s.. A. L. turned over to the
local chapter of the Red Cross $24O
and besides paying all its expenses tol
the 1918 season had small sum left
IN the treasury. The finances OF the
league are raised by selling season
tickets. This year three games will
be played every Saturday, for fifteen
straight Saturdays, weather condi
lions permitting. The games will all
be played at Exhibition park and the
Fairgrounds on South TWenty-secoao
gtreet.

PIRATE STARS MAKE
TWO HOME RUNS IN
SUCCEEDING ROUNDS

Few players in the big leagues ever
make two home runs in one game and
few OF them, succeeding In doing so,
ever make the pair in successive in

However, two OF the Pirates. due
here for an exhibition game with the
Cardinals next Wednesday. have not
only slammed out two four-baggers in
the same conflict, but have slammed
them out in succeeding rounds.
The two Pittsburgers credited with
feat Of this kind are Captain Max
Carey and Private Casey Stengel.
Each man turned the trick in 1913.
Stengel, then with the Brooklyn
club, reached Otto Hess Of the Braves

bREHM HELPS PUT
BASEBALL ON MAP

George Brehm, president Of the Sat-
urday Afternoon League during the
season of 1915, materially aided to put
the factory league on its feet in its
infancy He succeeded Mason Dyer,
it's first president and organizer.
Brehm has been interested in base
ball, in one way or another, for IF
teen years in Richmond. Several
years ago he, with George Reid, Char
lie Eubank and Harry Patty, organic
ed an Independent team that played in
an Eastern Indiana league composed
of Newcastle, Richmond, Cambridge
City and Connersville. Later he and
the men associated with him aided in
placing a team in the Indiana, Ohio
and Kentucky league which proved
successful for season.
Last year Brehm was instrumental
in giving Richmond it's only Sunday
baseball. The colored team which hi
obtained from Indianapolis put up a
good brand of ball and played circles
around most every other team it met
Brehm was interested in the Contra
league while it was operating and ha:
always stood for clean baseball. He
is still strong hacker of the Satur
day afternoon league.

Loving Cup To Be Given
Best Batter In S. A. L.

Wallenstein, Mayer & Co., of Gin
cinnati has offered silver loving cup
as trophy for the best batter in the
S. A. L. Whom this cup will lgo to is
a problem for the S. A. L. followers
to figure out. The player having the
best batting average at the end of the
sea son will be presented with the
trophy engraved with his name and
batting average.
1t may not be that the hardest hit
ter will win the trophy; singles count
as much as long hits in figuring av.

The S. A. L. has many good batters
in fact for the size of the city. Most
of the men who play in the S. A. L.
go out on Sunday and compete with
clubs that hire minor league ball
players because they have not enough
local talent to complete their clubs
This will give an idea of the playing
qualities of the men in the factory
league.
The averages will be published
twice a month.

FOOD RATION j
FOR STRIKERS
IS ANNOUNCED
FIRST DISTRIBUTION IN WHEEL
MO TO BE MADE SooN.
Con,missary Cards VIII Bo Issued to
Needy Families.

| Plans for distribution Of food to tho
needy among the steel strikers have been
| practically completed. This was an

district organizer. Just how much food
| will be allotted to the Wheeling district
has not yet been learned. but 1t Is likely
| that the first shipment will arrive the
latter part Of this week.
Orders creating the commissary de-
partmcnt have been issued from national
headquarters, which provide for a num-
! Der Of distributing centers in each strike
bound district. 1t is likely that Wheel
| ing proper will have but ono such Joint
| Of distribution.
The plan adopted will be to give
| commissary card to all those applying
! for financial aid. This card will tell
/ the distributor the number in the ap-
plicant's family. Food will be issued
according to the need. These cards will
be given out weekly, and collected when
tho food is issued. While no informa-
ton has been given out by the local Of
ficials it is probable that two distribu-
lions Of food will be made each week as
follows, for families of six or more:
First half Of week-Potatoes 10
pounds; bread pounds; tomatoes one
can: corn. one can; peas, one can: navy
pOuuuS, WV pNN~c'
bacon, one pound; coffee. one pound;
milk, one can.
Second half Of wcck-same as first
half, with the following exceptions: Dry
salt meat instead Of bacon: red beans in
stead Of navy beans; syrup. one can; no
coffee.
mo merchandise shall be given out
says the order creating the commissar-
les, except to persons possessing cards.
The coupons Of the commissary cards
must be collected when giving out first
half weeks supplies. The remainder OF
the cards arc to be taken up by tho
clerk when the last half weeks supplies
are given out. The coupons and stubs
must be carefully preserved and for
warded to the national committee as re-
ccipts 70 rthe merchandise received.
Commissary clerks are required to give
out exactly what each card calls for.
No exchanges or substtutions OF any
sort are permitted. Upon the strict OBJ
scrvancc Of. these rules will depend the
success Of the whole system Of the
strike relief"
The distribution Of food will begin
as soor as the necessary information as
to the number who require aid is in the
hands O fthe officials Mr.. Peters stated
that the number that have thus far APP
piled Is surprisingly small. The strik-
crs all appear to be fairly well hcelcd.
and officials hecr arc not expecting that
any great amount of food will be re-
quired TO satisfy the needs Of the Wheel
ing district.
