DUFFY LEWIS OF WORLD SERIES FAME
NOW HITTING ’EM OUT FOR UNCLE SAM
George "Duffy” Lewis, former left fielder for the Boston Red Sox, who
gained considerable fame for his great batting in the two world series against
the Phillies and the Brooklyn Nationals, is in Uncle Sam’s service. His
home runs were the talk of the country and Duffy’s big black bat was always
slamming them out during the world’s series days. No pitcher either on the
Phillies or the Dodgers would trust Duffy at the plate and did his best to
foil him. It wasn’t possible to hold Duffy down, and he held the highest bat
ting average on the club.
Lewis, like many other big leaguers, Is now in the service, and this photo
shows him In his uniform of a chief petty officer. He is stationed at Mare
Island, Cal. Lewis has played baseball with the naval teams at Mare Island,
and has taken hold of the men and Is lending his knowledge to building a
’Strong team at the station.

Fortunate the Americans in this
land of plenty who can find day after
day some hardship to endure. Happy
the “wheatless-till-harvest” citizens.
Let those who have murmured over
mixed breads read this bill of fare:
Breakfast—Acorn coffee, two slices
of bread made of rye, sawdust and po
tato flour.
Dinner—Soup with a small piece of
tough beet, coarse turnips and no
potatoes.
Supper—Soup again with two slices
of bread.
This represents the fare of fifteen
American prisoners in Germany, ac
cording to a Canadian soldier recently
escaped from a German prison. The
men were captured in a trench raid
last October and since then had been
marched many miles on these rations.
Our men, said the Canadian who
Jalked with them, had not received
parcels of food like other soldiers.
As a result of their treatment they
were thin, weak and mentally dazed.
Iu this condition they had been ex
hibited from village to village as a
proof that the American army cpuld
not stand against trained German sol
diers.
In the lines and behind the lines
America is giving daily proof that
she can stand against any amount of
German training. There is no better
evidence of this fighting spirit than
the continued response to the food
administration’s .wheat saving cam
paign. The hotel men led off, pledg
ing 500 hotels all over the country; |
the hotels in Arkansas and hundreds;
elsewhere followed; then the dining-j
cars and clubs came in. Entire coun-!
ties have given up their holdings of j
flour and two states—Idaho and Tex
as—pledged their willingness to give!
up wheat if necessary. Total abstain-'
ers clubs have been formed in Ohio, j
and from a Florida town came the
wheatless pledge “Until we whip the’
kaiser.” The General Federation of j
Women’s clubs meeting in Little Rock,
Arkansas, pledged each delegate to go
home and enlist in the wheatless ranks
the twenty million members of the
Federation.
If days and weeks and even months
to come are wheatless, , let no one
whimper who calls himself an Amer
ican. In this world of heroic suffer
ing, fortunate the Americans who can
find some hardship to endure,
redouble your efforts 12pt.
“I would save more wheat,” she ad
mitted frankly, ‘‘if my neighbors did.
But when I see all of them using 50
per cent in their cooking I lose all of
my enthusiasm for cutting down my
wheat ration to zero or even of re
ducing it to the official ration of one
and one half pounds per week for
each person in my family. ‘What's
the use?’ I say to myself. ‘My neigh
bors would waste more than I could
possibly save even if I went wheat
less.”
It is true, it is much easier to fol
low the example of some one else than
set an example for yourself. But sup
pose our soldiers should say, ‘‘There
is no use for us to fight or to con
tinue fighting because there are slack
ers in the army,” where would we
stand in the war today?

KES ME PEEKES
Twenty million women will be urged
to abstain from the use of wheat un
til the next harvest as a result of
resolutions unanimously adopted by
the biennial convention of the General
Federation of Women’s clubs, meeting
In Little Rock, Ark. At a meeting re
cently delegates from every part of
the country adopted a resolution which
pledges every woman upon her return
home to use every effort to have her
local organization go on a wheatless
pledge until next harvest. > |
