CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma. Feb 5 —
The Northwestern Baseball league
may boast of an odd number of clubs I
this coming season. The odd club
will be unofficial, of course, and will!
be composed of a team representing
the 91st division of the rri :y.
It is planned to have a t am of the
Northwestern cricuit vis t here each!
Wednesday, Saturday, .1. 1 Sunday
during the league season to play the
camp nine. President Robert BlewetL
of the league and Captain T. G. Cook,
camp athletic director, both favor the
scheme. |
The games of course would have no
r:ace in the standing of the clubs or
. the compilation of batting, pitching or
fielding averages. They are mere’y
intended to give the national array
men a chance to show what they crn
j do against a regular league aggrega
tion. I
The camp team is composed of such i
stars as Louis Guisto, the American
league first baseman; “Red” Oldham,
formerly of the San Francisco Seal;
Ten Million, the Northwestern league
center fielders, who is said be to
“there” at least one million, and
others.
Credit for the idea is due to Presi
dent Ougdale of the Seatle club, and
Judge W. W. McCredie. holder of the
Portland franchise in the Northwest
ern league.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. l\—
Notwithstanding the war, the team
which represents this city in the Pa
cific Coast league during the 1918 sea
| son starts off with a lineup which is'
unlikely to cause the new manager,!
Walter McCredie, much to worry over.]
The material which McCredie will!
have at his command when the train-i
ing season opens includes a fairly
good pitching staff to begin with. He
will have Earl Sheely, Carl Crandall!
and Bill Orr of his old infield, and
Jimmy Cox to fill in at third base
With the possible exception of Tom
my Quinlan who may be called upon
to do his share in making the world
safe for democracy, the Salt Lake out
field remains untouched. With two
good catchers already in prospect, it
is probable that McCredie will start
the preliminary training season in'^s
good, if not better shape, than any of
his rival managers in the league.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.—When
the Olympic club of this city started
January first on its annual classic
New Year’s day hike to the beach for
its once a year dip in the waters of
the Pacific ocean, regular participants
for years past in this feature event^
were missing. The war has made
heavy inroads on the club’s athletic!
membership.
It was noted, however, that there
was no falling off of the number of j
men who participated this year and!
the explanation is made that many
members who never before took part
were stirred to activity through the!
general physical preparedness pro
gram which has been taken up
throughout the country led by the
various great military cantonments
SAN DIEGO. Calif., Feb. 5.—The
144th artillery, known as the California
“Grizzlies,” boasts of one of the best
polo teams among the military organ-'
izations of the country. Included in
the lineup are Captain W. G. Devereux,
rated at five goals, and Harry Hast
ings, rated at two. Playing at No. 2
is Brigadier-General Leroy S. Lyon.

HONOLULU, Feb. 5.—Honolulu is
to have a local chapter of the Ameri
can Defense society, together with a
Vigilance Corps whose duty it will be
to smoke out alien enemies that may
secretly be giving aid to the Germans
and working against the United States
Former governor George D. Carter
is president of the new organization.
Action is to be aimed especially at
certain Germans against whom no
steps have been taken by the federal
authorities but toward whom suspi
cions point as working against Ameri.
ca. The recent expose of George Ro
diek as a violator of neutrality while
holding the office of German consul
and being kept in high regard by the
Community has given impetus to the
movement.

(By Associated Press)
SALT LAKE (TTY, Feb. 4,-lmme- I
diate need of a broader field for dis
posal of beef, mutton and lamb, if pro
duction of those meats is not to be
reduced, was asserted in the report of
the market committee of the American!
Live Stock Association, presented to!1
the twenty-first annual meeting of that!1
body here recently.
The report praised the food admin-j'
istration. commended David F. Hous
ton, secretary of agriculture, for his
efforts to prevent speculation in nec
essaries due to the war, and gave
hearty approval to the federal food
investigation now being carried on by
ihe federal trade commission, with
special reference to meat. K. L. Burke
of Omaha, Neb., chairman of the com
mittee, read the report.
The recommendations of the com
mittee were that the work it had com
__J n ^ kn n -..uk.uit „ S ul(7ArAllalu (llaf
the incoming market committee bear |
in mind existing war conditions and]
“omit no act that will help win the
war”: that the same powers be given
the new committee as those of the re
tiring one, and several technical pro
posals.
Listing accomplishments ui the
committee, the report said:
"It secured the investigation of the
packers by the federal trade commis
sion, assisted by the department of ag
riculture. The committee furnished
the federal trade commission with sug
gestions and assistance.
“The committee, assisted by G. F.
Wattles, federal food administrator for
Nebraska, secured withdrawal of a!
schedule of commissions at South'
Omaha which advanced prices for sell-1!
ing amounting to 25 per cent on cattle,]
44 per cent on hogs and as much as 50
per cent on sheep. The increase for]
South Omaha alone. If it had been al-j
lowed to stand, would have amounted
to more than $450,000 per annum,
based on 1016 receipts. Other ex
changes would no doubt have followed
suit had South Omaha proved success-j
ful. The saving alone to the live stock
interests of the country in this matter
alone would run into millions.'’
The committee urged every co-oper
ation between stock raisers and the!
rood administration, and recommend
ed that all the members of the asso
ciation take a hearty interest in the
progress of the meat investigation. To
provide finances for work in support
of this inquiry it suggested that volun.
tary subscriptions be taken, the former
plan of assessing members of sub
sidiary stockmen’s association half a
cent for each head of stock they own
having “proved unsuccessful."
Concerning the licenses of packers,
recently put into effect by the govern
ment, the report said this action was
“what we have wanted for years.” A
close relation, it asserted, should be
maintained between prices of live
stock “on foot” and “dressed.” It
continued: "Big declines in prices
on foot should be reflected promptly
in corresponding declines in wholesale
prices of meat.”
There seems to be something wrong
in the operation of this very simple
principle. It is one of the important
things which should be checked at
frequent intervals.
Summarizing market conditions, the
report said there was a tremendous
shortage of hogs, a moderate shortage
of sheep and liberal supplies of cattle
in the United States. There is no dan
ger of any other country invading the
American stockman’s market for some
time to come, owing to shipping short
ages, it went on, and there are unusu
ally large numbers of sheep and cattle
in feed lots and "liberal receipts of fat
cattle and lambs at congested markets,
which are selling at heavy losses to
producers.” It added:
“Curtailment in domestic consump
tion of meat on patriotic and econom
ical grounds, the limited exports of
beef, owing to the lack of shipping fa
cilities, and the growing danger that
producers of beef and mutton will be
come discouraged on account of heavy
losses and lose faith in the represen
tations of the food administration and J
curtail production next season
“There is need of prompt action on
the part of the food administration to
avert this..’'
There is need hlso, the report said,
of a better understanding of producers’
problems and a more sympathetic at
titude on the part of the public toward
them.
The report presented a mass of fig
ures in support of this summary and
made a warm argument for extension
to the cattle and sheep producers of
the same sort of guarantee of a mini
mum price which has been given the
hog raiser by the food administration.
Jtherwise, it said, there will be a dis
losition on the part of producers to
hedge by producing less meat, and
nuch damage to the country is likely
o result."
The report pledged the committee
nd association to support the gov
rnment to "the last ditch.” “We will
ontinue to serve until the very end,"
t said, “regardless of what Is done
hat afTects the industry."
