RECEIPTS OF
SUNDAY GAMES
FOR THE ARMY
American League would Ob
tain Permission for Games
in Eastern Cities.
MAYOR MITCHELL
HAS APPROVED PLAN
President Johnson Does not
Approve of Reducing Num
.ber of Players on Team.
Chicago, Hay 24.—Major league
baseball on Sunday in all the cities
Of the eastern end of the circuit, the
cross receipts to be donated to vari
ous units of the United States army,
is what magnates of the American
league hope to bring about.
President B. B. Johnson of the
league already has arranged with the
approval of Mayor Mitchel of New
Tork, for a game in New York on
Sunday, June 10, between New Tork
and St. Louis Americans. It is to be a
championship game, not an exhibition
affair, the scheduled game of June
18 between the teams having been
advanced for the occasion. Mayor
Mitchel is to be custodian of the re
ceipts, which are to be given to the
New York Engineers' corps.
Movo is Extending.
Machinery was set in motion today
for the purpose of obtaining permis
sion for American league teams to
play championship games on Sunday
in Washington, Philadelphia and Bos
ton, the proceeds to go to some unit
of the American army. Later on, in
the western cities of the circuit where
Sunday baseball is allowed, the guard
officials plan to play similar games.
Plans also practically have been
completed whereby the American
league will provide baseball parapher
nalia for the American soldiers both
whire in training in this country and
after they go to France.
President Johnson sounded a note
of optimism regarding the outlook for
the nation's pastime in this country
by declaring he saw no reason for
anticipating a lack of interest in base
ball this year. Considering the weather
.the attendance has been good in all
cities of the American league circuit,
and better things are expected If the
elements will become normal.
To Retain Present Jjimlt.
Johnson declared he did not favor
the suggestion of Chairman Herr
mann of the national commission to
order a reduction of the player limits
of the major league at tomorrow's
Don't get discouraged about Rus
sia. It took our own country a long
time to get its equal rights and lib
erty system at work all right.
Corns Peel Right
Off With "Gets-It"
2 Drops, and the Corn is a "Goner!"
When you've got to walk on the
sides of your shoe to get away from
those awful corn-pains, there's only
one common-sense thing to do. Put
2 or 3 drops of "Gets-It" on the corn
right away. Pain and inflammation
will disappear, the corn will begin to
sljrivel from that instant—then it
loosens and falls right off.
There's no other corn-remover in
the world that acts like "Gets-It." No
new discovery has been made in corn
removers since "Gets-It'
wa,
Don't forget that fact. "Gets-It" does
away forever with the use of salves
that irritate, bandages that make a
bundle of your toe. plasters that half
do the work, knives and scissors that
draw blood. Use "Gets-It"—no more
digging or cutting.
"Gets-It" is sold everywhere, 25c a
bottle, or sent on receipt of price by
E. Lawrence & Co.. Chicago, 111.

Earl Caddock Showing His Scissors
Hold (above) and Wrestling Pose.
If Earl Caddock, of Anita, la., is
able to defeat Ed (Strangler) Lewis,
he will be voted the world's wrectling
champ.
Caddock's defeat of Joe Stecher,
for some while the hero of the mat,
has brought him into prominence and
he is now regarded as one of the few
real contenders for the title. Lewis's
defeat of John Olin has put him near
the top of the bunch and a match
between Caddock and Lewis is
urged by many who believe that it
should settle the title question, which
has been a problem of the mat game
since Frank Gotch retired unde
feated.
Should Lewis and Caddock meet,
the latter will be at a great disad
vantage in the matter of weight.
Lewis weighs between 224 and 230
pound* while Caddoc^, after many ef
forts to build himself up has never
managed to make more than 180
P' unds. Stecher in his best form has
always weighed 205 pounds or there
abouts.
Though Stecher has slipped some
from the high place he'held in wrest
not a year or so ago he is still
worthy of consideration among the
game's leading stars on the strength
of his past p9rformances. Whether he
will be able to produce any sort of a
come-back is to be seen. It is clear
that he is not the hero he was when
he went for quite a while undefeated.
Both Stecher and Lewis have had
great, popularity with wrestling fans,
meetly because of their clean sports
manlike methods and the fact that
never has fraud of any sort, too pre
valent in the mat pastime, attached
to them. Caddock, who was formerly
the amateur champion, comes for
ward with a clean record and these
three are at present the best perform
er!" in the game in every way.
The winner of a Lewls-Caddock
match would have every claim on the
meeting of that body, "there will be wrestling title although Joe Stecher
no departure by the American league
from the terms of the national agree
ment," lie said. "Some of our clubs
already have reduced their rosters to
21 or 23 players. If club owners don't
know enough to protect, their own in
terests don't see any reason for
compelling them."
Matters of considerable importance
will come up for discussion at the
commission meeting, but President
Johnson begged to be excused from
discussing them in advance, for rea
sons of public good.
A Philadelphia press letter states
that nearly half of the vegetables
eaten in that city are raised on
ground within the city limits. Irriga
tion with city water is used, producing
very large yields.
may yet have to be considered. Cad
dock has a clean-cut victory over
Stecher while Lewis won from Olin
who had a referee's decision over
Stecher.

Controlling Body Opposed
to Issuing Sanctions for
Race Meets During War
Chicago, ^lay 24.—Automobile rac
ing probably Will have a brief and not
altogether glorious career in the
United States this season.
The American Automobile associa
tion, controlling body in racing af
fairs, Is considering putting a ban on
the issuance of sanctions for races
for the duration of the war, and it Is
likely that this course of action will
be adopted.
This will limit the season's racing
to the affair held two weeks ago at
Unlontown, Pa., the Memorial day
race at Cincinnati and the June 16
affair at Speedway park.
As sanctions for the latter two
events have already been lseued: and
the promoters allowed to Incur con
siderable expense, It Is not deemed
probable that any steps will be taken
to call off the events.
It Is understood that this aetlon by
the A. A. A. is in accordance with a
suggestion made by the war depart
ment Virtually all the leading driv
ers and mechanicians of the speedway
circuit are enrolled in one or the oth
er branches of the army and so are
liable to a call to the colors at almost
any time.
Most of the leading drivers are en
rolled In the aviation service and
many others will be needed for their
expert engineering ability in the varl
out divisions of the army in which
the gasoline motors are required.
"VARSITY PREPARES
FOR CARLETON MEET
University track athletes are put
ting on the finishing^touches for the
big Minnesota-Dakota conference
track meet which will be held at
Carleton, Minn., next Saturday, and
the men representing North Dakota
are expected to acquit themselves
with honor.
Just who will make the trip to the
conference meet has not been an
nounced as yet, Coach F. L. Thomp
son declining to make any statement
at the present time. All of the men
on the team have been working con
sistently the past week and much im
provement Is being shown along all
lines.
In the dashes Lowe and Wylle are
working In good style. Both men are
burning up the short distances In ex*
celtent form and shouM have llttlo
difficulty in taking points In the con
ference.
Baas Oraok Athlete.
Coach Thompson has a crack ath
lete In Bass who will have things his
own way In the javelin throw, accord
ing to present Indications. Bass
huHed the javelin well over 160 feet
at the time of the lnterscholastlc meet
last week, which Is some 16 feet bet
ter than the conference record. He
is expected to take the event without
much difficulty as well as make a
strong bid for honors In the discus
and broad jump.
Wardwell and Martlfc are working
well In the pole vault while DeLong
is stepping over the bar In the high
jump in excellent fprm. All of these
men are showing up In fine style and
should prove valuable -point men.
Amberson in the distance runs la
working well.
The 'varsity athletes are putting In
their final work today and tomorrow
and wlU leave for Minneapolis Friday
noon.
Robert Hehrl, the New Tork artist
told a Whistler story at the Art Stu
dents' league.
"There was no pose about Whist
ler," he sald.^
"Once In a Paris class he was con
ducting he did not like the red back
ground to a study he had commenc
ed, and/so he covered It with brown.
"But the red showed through, so he
scraped out the brown and put gray
In its place.
"Still the red showed. He took up
his palette knife and began to scrape
afresh, saying to a student who was
reverently watching him:
"I suppose you know what I'm
trying for here?.'
"'Oh, yes, sir!' exclaimed the stu
dent.
"'Well, It's more than I do,' said
Whistler, and seizing his hat he made
off."
It is worthy of notice that every old
soldier is glad he responded to his
country's call. It la a wonderful serv
ice in times of national defense.
The man who first thought of pat
ting heels In the irilddle of women's
shpes certhlnly had a big Idea about

Chicago, May 24.—The surprising
class of the Cubs, a feature of the Na
tional league race to date, may be
largely ascribed to Fred Mltcnell'a
skill as pilot, but there have been a
few other things to help. The Cubs
have been fortunate In several ways.

'LKH:
Rollle Zelder's amazing come-back
has been a big Item in the Cubs' fast
play and few supposed when the sea
son started that Zeider would behave
as he has. His fielding has been
more than merely flawless and his
batting has Improved with each week.
On the bases he Is regarded as the
Ty Cobb of the National league. At
present he Is the most valuable man
in the Une-up.
Vic Baler's Injury at the first ot
the season made things look blue for
the Cubs till Fred Merkle was bought
from Brooklyn to fill the gap. Merkle
had been of little use to the Robins,
but just now he looks like a million
dollars to the Cubs. He has been
Saa
laying In his best form at first and
strengthened the team a great
deal.
Leslie Mann and Cy Williams have
been working for Mitchell much bet
ter than they did for Joe Tinker, very
largely because Mltohell knows how:
to get the -most out of every man.
Both of them have been hitting most
opportunely, which is more than they
did last season.
There Is apparent in the work ot
all of the Cub players a-, great deslr*
to please their new boss. Mitchell's
gift as a manager seems to be hla
ability to keep all of the men going
at their top stride. He has been for
tunate in a few respects, but the Cubs*
surprising speed may be accounted
for mostly by the talents of Bosa
Mitchell. When the season began the
Cubs seemed nigh hopeless at first di
vision prospects and now they may be
seriously considered as pennant con
tenders.
