Yhiting's Famou3 Athletic and Social Organization Has Fine Service Flag in Its Honor.

r?"E-iAi. Trt Tub Tjmfh.1 WHITING. IND. July 16 Sixtyleht member- of the. famous Owls Club of this city are in the. service of their country an.1 the boys remaining at home, nearly alt married men with children, have published the first copy of a maga.'.lna called The Owl. containing all the news of home. and letters from soldier members. The purpose of the publication Is to provide a means of communication to the soldiers which is bound to afford a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction. The July number is newsy and brightly written and the editors. Charles S. Perel and Robert C. Curtis, are to bo congratulated. Some of the featured articles are as follows: "Our Absent Owls," by "Bo" Andrus. "Raison d'etre," by the editors. "Has An Owl A Tale?" unsigned. "A Quarter of a Century," by T. 3. Eoyle. "The Owls Club Minstrels." by Ella Klosa Green. "Review of Basketball Season of 19171S," by C. S. Perel. The Fourth at Whiting:." unsigned. Tht editors take occasion to thank former Owls who have re-entered the club In order to keep It going until after the boys return. The magazine contains a. picture of the Owl Club house, showing- the big- flag pole and01d Glory flying in the breeze of Lake Michigan. One of tho efforts of the editors is to show the. soldiers there is no cause for worry about "things back home." This Is accomplished by "Bo" Andrus in "Our Absent Owls" which follows in part: "I -wonder If any of you boys have done any worrying- about how the Owl Club is going to survive and keep its

charter while yom are away? "A lot of you boys have at various

times, been actively engaged in looking out for the Club's welfare, no you know that there are any number o.f little bills accumulating all the time, and all these little bills get together and form a union that makes a 'Pig Hill," and when he talks you ave to listen. "You wonder who is looking after that 'mutt' who wss always turning on ell the lights over the billiard and pool tables and then after a few moments of p!ay walking out. leaving all the lights blazing and the meter clicking away an.l riling up the watts at bo much per. Or, the 'mutt's brother" whose favorite indoor destruction is looking for that ?5c jazz piece ;ir.d piling the red sen! records in the big chairs for some on.j to sit on, or racking them up on tho radiator to be melted down. "But. really, you needn't worry the least bit. for the boys here at homo are right after the 'mutt' and his whole family, and Messrs.. Efficiency and Economy are on the Job every day, or night rather, and "Old Man Experience Is on the advisory board and they find he Is a pretty good scout to listen to. "Of course, you have, heard long before this that quite a number of the ex-Owls have come back into th- nst again. I don't suppose they will be much in evidence around the club, but their monthly dues and initiation fees will come right handy as material argument with the 'liilis' who are bound to happen around every month for n. little session. So fir as we can learn, these ex-Owls are real glad and willing to be of service In this way, and besides, it's well worth while to be able to say that you belong to a club that has sixty per cent of its members in active service for Uncle .Sam. It's a pretty safe bet tlrit there isn't another Institution in tho whole V. S. A. that has got us beat or even tied. "Of course, times are a little dull around the Club now. as the nightly attendance is rather small, but what we lack in quantity is made up in quality. You never saw such quality pinochleplayers anywhere, and as the score fluctuates and nears the last, hand goal the excitement Is intense. The players show the effects of th strain and the two. and sometimes three, onlookers add to the excitement with jeering Jibes and jocose jests until th last card falls, the game is won and lost, and then the sad rites of the post-mortem by the losers. "The grass now grows free and unrestrained, and the worn por, Bro disappearing. We note with sorrow the passing xt those bare spots because they are mute evidence of last Summer, when almost every evening there would be two ,or three sets warming up for next Sunday's game.

PEERLESS I. C. LOSE TO THE RED CROWNS

That old dame. Jenny Jinx. "The Wild Woman of th" Hig Leagues." has tak n a spoe'ai liking to the Peerless A. C. - r East Chicago. Her affection proved to he at its height lat Hundny when eight plus on "extra" of Edgar's warriors went down before the strong Reft Crowns of Whiting at the old Whiting ba.ll park. To make matters much worse, t lie game, to a!!, seeaied to be surely cinched by the Peerless until the eight. Simon had been going great guns all through, sriking out twenty-one batters And allowing but one hit. Only one man had rea.-hed third. In the eighth, the inevitable happened when 1he big pitcher was batting. The smoky twlrlcr of the Crowns 1-t a. wild one slip from his lingers hitting Simon amidships. This o disabled the hurler. that a r-i;l-Mifute had to run for him. When the side was retired, Simon proved to bo too weak to labor on tho mound. R. George then took his place it was the last to the eighth with the score 4-0 In favor of the II. C. lads and then, and i.ot until tin a did tho Red Crowns lo. gin to hoc -ir.-.' ambit irvas.

The first man up was an easy strikeout, but the next batter hit a hot one for a long drive to center, knocking Mona.cn from his fet, the runner only reaching first on the hit. On his attempt to steal second. Ignatz fired the hall for a perfect peg and Tetzy made a flnsh put-out. but the umpire thought different so he called him safe. This was tho beginning of the end. There followed a walk, a single, a scratch hit, another scratch single, and a wild through, in quick succession. The rerless boys had been playing airtight ball all through; but in that innig they seemed to go to pieces with a bang. When they finally emerged from the mess, a five run rally faced them, giving the op-pos-ers a one run h ad. In their next trip to the plate, the Peerless A. C. was able to do nothing, so the fame ended 5-4 in favor of the Red Crowns. Purely Jenny Jinx never did a better Job with d--oidPd!y punk umpiring to assist her. Score: Peerless A.

NEW YORK. July 18 baseball Is declared nonessential by Provost Marshal Oereral Orowder, the managers and players not within the draft age need not worry about finding a suitable position until the war ends, as the Knights of Columbus havo enough secretary Jobs open to accommodate all the men thrown out of employment. Most baseball men know little else but baseball. Men like Manager McGraw of the Olens Connie Mack of the Athletic, Kd Harrow of the Red Sox. Christy Mathewson. and other equally famous diamond men would be of Immense service to the boys over there. Tho Knlshts of Columbus intend to have 2.r'0O men acting as secretaries by the f.rst of next year. Johnny Evors, the Cubs" great second baseman, is the first of the famous diamond men to sign up a secretary abroad for the K. of C.

The Pilots threw their game away to the

St. Joseph's nine on their home grounds Sunday. Hilbrich was the chief offender

this time, making two unfortunate wild throws In attempting to make force-out playa at second and third, beside a bad

throw to first. Danny Poyle flung the pill for the visitors and he proved to be cpjlte a r'-izsle for our boys. He was especially effective in the pinches and ran up a strikeout total of eleven. One bright spot in the Pilot's defense was the outfielding of "I.lttle Teuty"" in the third Inning, when ho raced across and nipred a wicked drive by a headlong dive, and then bagging a line drive a few moments later.

"Before the war, a distinguished French Officer, General Maitrot, wrote a series of articles in the 'Echo de Paris to warn France, that in case of war, the French meat industry would be unable to supply the French army in the field with fresh meat, owing especially to the lack of modern refrigerating plants and of refrigerating transportation, and too, owing to the deficiency in the national herd."

Since the war began, the French

army has never been short of fresh meat, thanks mainly to the prosperous condition of the American meat industry, and too, to the American live stock breeders."

The foregoing statement was made by a representative of the Allies now in the United States. Another representative of the Allies said recently: "that the American packers have been of the greatest possible assistance to the Allies and have, by their efficient cooperation, contributed in the utmost degree to the successful prosecution of the war."
