Error in Coaching
Robs Losers Of
Chonce in Seventh

Leander and Hubarth e.
Schott, perhaps two of the most
evenly matched teams in the
city, battled TO another close
finish last night and as result
of Leander's 80 victory the
pair will meet again on Friday
in a game which will decide the
Red Division softball title.
Last nights engagement was
a repeat performance of the
great games that have marked
play between the two teams all
season. On Monday. H. g. S.
edged the CATERS, 81, and was
slightly favored last night at ST.
Mary's. However, the Leander
team played one of its tight
est games of the season in the
infield and three double plays
killed off effective scoring
chances which the losers had.
MISTAKE IN COACHING
The game proved once again
that effective coaching can make
or break team. H & S had a
man, Ken Moore, on second in
the last of the seventh and he
represented the tying run. Jim
Mcintyre, next up, hit to the
shortstop and was out at first.
Moore had advanced to third on
the play, going slightly beyond
and first baseman Louis from
bley threw to Don Klein, at
third, who fumbled the ball,
which rolled mere two or three
feet behind him. Moore was
abou. to hold up, but his coach
waved him in and Klein's throw
to Joe THE Silent" Jackson at
the plate nipped the run.
Leander took a one-run lead
In the third when Bob Plegue
laced out a scratch triple and
scored on Bill Wilson's Texas
Lacquer. The winners made it
30 in the fifth when Louis
Trombley singled, reach ing
home after Bob Plegue's fly to
deep-short. The Lumberjacks
scored twice in an uprising i'm
the sixth, however. when Dave
Inman and Bernie Shield con-
nected with consecutive dou-
bies, Shields scoring when he
beat out a fielder's choice on
Tex Richards infield blow.
SCORE IN SEVENTH
With the count tied, Leland
er's first two batters in the sew
enth went down without COM
motion. but Gordon Trombley
doubled to give the team its
spark, reaching third on an
error. His brother, Louis, fol-
lowed him up with single for
the winning run.
Pitcher Ed Sarver, who al
lowed four hits to II & S. walk
ed Moore to start the seventh,
but the double play ended the
Lumberjacks' hopes. The first
of the three double-kills had
come In the fourth after a pop
fly to catcher Jackson and the
second in the fifth after a pop
to third; in both cases, the run
ners were easily caught off base.
Only one player in the game
managed to get two hits-that
was Louis Trombley, first sack
er for Leander who rapped ont
pair of singles. Both hurlers
performed ably, Marv Duckert
giving up only five hits and
issuing no walks to Sarver's one.

Spectacular

BY HAROLD CLAASSEN

NEW YORK. Aug. 20-(P)-
Although college footballers by
the hundreds have entered the
armed servi ices, competent
coaches promise that you'll get
your moneys worth each time
you plunk down So 80 for a seat
on the 50-yard line 'hij fall.
Most Of the mentors acknow-
ledge that the Polish and
fireSse of former years may be
lacking in a slight way but all
agree, in a survey made by the
Associated IS. that the spec
tacular will becon much more
common and that upsets will be
lurking behind every goal post.
Rex Enrigtt Of South Carolina
University says he expects a
slight drop j, the caliber of play
but that it will not be apparent
to the general r"blic because Of
the eVenneSs. There VIII be more
variance ii the cuality Of play
from week TO week because of
poor reserves and the use of
fishermen and this will mean
more upetS'

Many conferences, led by the

Only the larger circuits-Big

their stand not to use new

Despite this influx of.untried

coaches said, because the vet

the duration; iron men will be

YOU ever need a cash loan, remem-
i Der that at Household Finance you
can borrow up to $500 on your sigma
ture alone. Then you may repay your
loan in monthly instruments.
Households salary loan plan has
been specially designed for people
with steady jobs. So many folks have
no car, furniture, or other security on
which to borrow. And they hate to
ask friends to sign notes. The salary
loan plan gives these folks an oppor-
tunity to borrow on terms which they
can readily meet.
When you get salary loan, you
merely give us your personal note. We
take no wage assignment OF any kind.
We make your loan simply on your
earning ability and your willingness
to repay.
Household makes many loans on
other plans; the chances are you can
get loan here if you have job.
Even when making furniture and au-
tomobile loans, we consider character
and regular income far more impor-
tant than the actual value of the
borrowers security.
All you do to apply for your loan is
to tell us how much you need and

NO RUBBER FOR TIRES.

-Four leading war agency officials
made it clear in q memorandum to
northwest War Production Board Of
ficals that no rubber can be spared for
any non-eSSential use.
Describing the rubber picture for
the country were Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of WPB; Arthur B. New
hall, rubber coordinator; Joseph B.
Eastman, Office of Defense Transpor-
tation director, and Price Administra-
tor Leon Henderson.
Highlights of their statements were:
I'd The country cannot spare any
rubber to make new tires for ordin-
airy passenger cars, and tires now on
hand must be rationed strictly for
essential uses.
CD All synthetic rubber the United
States gets must go into the war
effort.
CD The most optimistic estimates
for this year and next indicate no

" THIS WEEK FOR VICTORY

rubber viii be available for anything
but the most essential uses.
The officials said there has been
much confusion concerning the rub
Der situation, particularly in un-
founded reports that synthetic rub
Der viii be available at an early date
and that large amount of scrap
rubber can be re-procesSed.
"There is little real basis for such
optimism" their statement said. "Our
rubber shortage is one of the worst
materials shortages we face. We can
spare no rubber of any kind for nom
essential uses. Statements to the
contrary are misleading, and do the
country great disservice, for the
facts as we see them are grim, and we
need 100 per cent cooperation in con-
servation measures by the general
public and industry"
1912 SAUCE TO BE LESS SWEET.
Sugar rationing restrictions = al
though now allowing each household
pound of sugar for each four quarts
Of fruit or berries to be canned-will
still require lighter and less sweet
liquids than before.
The restrictions, however, will per-
NIT housewives to can larger amounts
of fruit with the limited supplies Of
sugar available.
Experts in the OPA consumer divi-
sion point out that the amount of
sugar needed for each quart of fruit
varies according to the size of the
fruit and the pack. Small fruits like
cherries, for instance, pack closely and
need less sugar than larger fruits,
such as halyed peaches or pears.
In general, however, eight cups or
two quarts of water and one pound
of sugar will make four quarts of
sauce that will meet the demands of
most individuals. The consumer divi-
sion says that the lighter liquids in
the 1912 sauce can be sweetened to
suit individual taste with sugar after
it is served.
Most fruits will keep without any
sugar at all, the consumer division
said.
Authority for housewives to buy the
additional sugar for canning purposes
can be obtained from their local ra-
tioning boards. The plan is to allow
also an additional pound for each
member of the family for canning of
jelhes, jams and marmalades. These
allowances will be in addition to the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT ration now In
effect.

STATE LAWS FIX MINIMUM
PRICES.

State fair trade laws apply TO mini
mum prices at which commodities
may be sold and will not conflict with
the maximum price ceilings fixed in
the general maximum price regula-
ton order.
The section of the maximum price
regulation order providing that "lower
prices than those established by this
regulation may be charged" should
not be construed to express an intent
to void any sellers obligation to
maintain minimum prices under any
fair trade agreement or state fair
trade act The purpose of the pro-
vision, Henderson explained. is to
make clear to sellers and buyers that
OPA Is fixing maximum prices only.

TIRE SAVING BASIS OF GAS
RATION.

With gasoline rationing an estab-
lished practice on the Atlantic coast,
the northwest is wondering what will
happen in this area along about mid
summer. Northwest Office of Price
Administration officials say gasoline
rationing may be necessary in this
area as well as others to conserve
existing stocks of automobiles and
tires.
The theory is that if automobile
drivers don't have unlimited quantities
of gas, they won't be using up their
tires and cars, all of which are now
considered part of the nations wal
time transportation system.

Metal Fixtures Need
Careful Examination

An immediate wartime conserva-
ton measure is the checking of
metal roofing, to protect it against
corrosion during the winter months.
Any loose places should be well
secured by non-rustable nails, or
II these are not available, with other
nails well painted. In any case,
all rusted or corroded spots should
be cleaned of and the roofing thor
oughly protected.
An important seasonal precaution
Is making sure that steel window
castings are thoroughly protected
against rust. That would be a pru-
dent precaution in any year, but it
Is especially SO In wartime when re-
placement of metal work may have
to be deferred.
