GARFIELD LEAGUE GAMES ARE PLAYED

Garfield basketball men stepped Into the limelight Tuesday evening at the Garfield gym, when the first games of the newly organized basketball league were played. After not playing for so long the , . first games resulted in some one-sided affairs with a good one thrown in. The v Frenchies made their bow to the Lilies

going down under the crushing weight of a 22 to 2 score. The former, however, only played four men against fire of the Lily team. No field goals were made by the Frenchies. Quigley did the only scoring with two free throws. 1 Green, Nattock and Fuller scored for the Lilies. The Daisies defeated the Pirates by a score of 8 to , Both teams fought hard but nelther could connect with the basket. Col via made the one point for the Pirates while the Daisies' qore was equally divided between Kessler and Unthank. The Vampires, true to their same, vamped the Earlham lineup to the tune of a 19 to 11 score. Cathcart and Bentlage made four fields each.for the Quakers while the entire Vamp lineup mad from one to three goals each. Fanchcr led with three to bis credit. The closest game of the evening was the Marine-Ace game. The Aces handed the Marines a 8 to 6 defeat. At the end of the first half the Marines led, 4 to 2. Two fields by Cummins and one by Jessup In the last half gave the Aces the edge. .

The club which they have Joined. is In somewhat of a bad way jtor capable boxmen and they will be assured of an extraordinarily keen .inspection before

Judgment is passed upon .them. Win

ters is a right nanaer, kosb a ten hander. and each has an excellent chance of being retained by John McGraw. - ... ; - .

The retirement of Jiarry Bailee nas

left McGraw with three southpaws on his roster Rube Benton, Ferdinand Schupp and Bob Steele. Benton is quite likely to give a good account of himself, in spite of the fact that he lost a part of last season, being called to the colors in midsummer. Schupp is a. very uncertain proposition, for not

one except the Louisville Kid nimseii knows the present condition of his pitching arm, which was affected by a mysterious ailment last season. Steele made a good beginning as a Giant last summer, but later loomed up as an erratic sort of a hurler and it Is not likely that McGraw is counting very heavily on him.

The pitching strength of the team will lie in its right banders, for Jess Barnes, Fred Toney and Cecil Causey undoubtedly are the best men McGraw has and rank in fact among the best in the league. Poll Perrltt, George Smith and Fred Anderson complete the remainder of the right handers on the club's roster, yet it is doubtful Just how much may be expected from them this year, Perrltt Is an in and outer, one day a matchless hurler, the next a very mediocre performer. Anderson lagged badly last year and was on the point of quitting baseball at one time, but has since reconsidered the matter and will make a great effort to rehabilitate himself as a regular, while Smith may or may not develop Into a major leaguer. So It will be seen that the stage is set for Winters and Ross. It they have the goods ample opportunity will be provided for them to prove it. Win

ters has had the benefit of one period of training under McGraw and if he can but duplicate his 1918 showing when he reports , at Gainesville there Isn't a doubt in the world that he will be among those present when the Giants open their first home stand of the season. Ross came up from San Antonio after the season was well un

der way and Is still something of an unknown quantity, yet In his brief tenure as a Giant he made a favorable impression on McGraw. San Rice, the best young outfielder to come to the front in 'the American league in some years, has returned from France and Clark Griffith's 1919 worries are lessened as a result. Rice, who hit at a .300 clip in his first two seasons as regular, was called to the colors before the 1918 season began, but managed to play in a few games with the Senators before he was sent overseas last summer. Rice is a fine fielder, a fast runner and a heavy

finish line. During much of the race these boats were completely lost to view in the spray and wash

they made.

Springfield is on the fence regarding entrance in the Central League this season. r- : The directors of the former Central league team failed to meet Monday to give Fred Hunter and his partner an answer ' about the rental of the park.- v- ' . A report became current that the directors were being urged to send a representative to "I- the Fort Wayne meeting next Sunday to see what kind of a circuit, including Springfield, was to be proposed and it was whispered that several of the directors, who were Betat the start against having , anything to do with a league, including

Indiana, Illinois or Michigan towns,

are now wining lo.taKe a cnance, ii a reasonably compact circuit can be organized. ' ' ; There was talk in Springfield that a league comprised of Springfield, Dayton, Lima, Fort Wayne, Richmond, South Bend, Tklarion and Muncie would be proposed. This would avoid the long Jumps to Grand Rapids and Mus

kegon. ' , 1 There is no certainty thajt Dayton will be represented even with Grand Rapids and Muskegon included: and Marion and Muncie out. From Columbus comes the information that Joe Tinker does not think well of the proposition of placing a team in Dayton unless the Gem City and Peoria are insluded in the same league. Tinker has holdings in the Peoria club and it is doubtful if -he would dispose of them and invest them in the latest proposed circuit Marion has been off the professional baseball map since 1905 and Muncie was never on it.

last letter received by Grimtn carried no assurance that he would be back for the training campaign: Rollie Zeider is a much-wanted ball player. Rollie himself wants a Job of magnating as head of the Fort Wayne team of the proposed Central league, Joe Tinker wants him to play on his Columbus team, and now Rollie has

discovered that Fred Mitchell also wants him to stay with' the Chicago Cubs.

PACKER EXPLAINS , IM SHIPMENT

A new idea of the great part played by America in feeding the allied forces in Europe is given in the 1919 Year Book of Swift & Company, which has Just been issued. - In 1918 U ;se - products shipped abroad totaled 590,359,769 pounds more than three times the amount shipped in 1914, the first year of the war. - The pork product shipments totaled 1.691.454,629 pounds as against 921,918,029 In 1914 an increase of 83 per cent . ;r':-:.v':.- ": During the year ending November 1. 1918, Swift & Company alone shipped 760,000,000 pounds of meat and meat products to the- Americas army and

navy at home and abroad and to the allied nations for their armies and civilian populations. The Year Book says: "This amounts to about 25.000 carloads of meat, which would make a single train 200 miles long." Some of the difficulties encountered in shipping are shown in the following: .. , ; "The meat for Europe has gone in fleets of vessels under convoy, and the Food Administration has often been unable to know very far in advance when cargo space would be available. For this reason Swift & Company has frequently been notified that a certain number of millions . of pounds would be wanted at. a certain port within a few days. Swift & Company has often had shipments on the way to the seaboard within a few hours after the orders have been received, and believes that it has met with signal success in the filling of such rush orders. "The packing industry was able to adapt Itself to wartime demands perhaps more quickly than any other industry. If this Industry had not been organized oh a large scale along national, and even international lines, it would never have been able to answer all demands - as promptly as it - has. War demands have, of course, caused many changes in methods and have made it necessary for us to increase our facilities in many respects. "For. example,, when the United States entered the war, there developed a demand for canned bacon for shipment to qur soldiers overseas. Swift. & Company immediately took over a semi-completed soap factory and within thirty days bad installed the necessary machinery and was fill

ing government contracts. More than a million pounds of bacon a week have often been canned in this factory. This means that our soldiers have been getting fine, cured, smoked bacon, where the allies have been demanding only salt unsmoked bacon, which does not have to be canned. . "Another example showing the cooperation that we have offered the government was when the government found it necessary to have large quantities of butter, which it had bought for overseas shipment, put into cans. Swift & Company, alone among the big butter handlers of the country,

was willing to install the necessary equipment, and in the course of three

weeks, under the most unfavorable

circumstances, began canning butter for the government. Up to the time this Year Book goes to press, we have

nut up some three million pounds of butter owned by the govenuu-V also two million pounds which we have gathered , for the government making a total of five million pounds of butter that have been put up in Una."

Sanitary science has of late mace rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The latest application of its untiring research is the recommendation that it is as necessary to attend to internal sanitation of the drainage system of the human body as it is to the drains of the house. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the Internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real; hot water with a teaapoonful of limestono phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous .toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation Ad v .
