(By H. C. Hamilton, United Press
Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, Feb. 23—The Wash
ington American league club, it seems, I
just can’t get started on a road that
leads to the top of the heap.
Clarke Griffith, manager of the club,
had everything all fixed, he thought,
for a start toward strength when he
negotiated a trade that brought him'
John Lavan from the Browns, but La
van up and joined the army and the
stuff was off.
The Washington club isn’t guilty of
harboring a lot of star ball players.
The team can play ball very credit
ably, and Griffith is one of the game's
smartest managers, but there are no^
Cobbs, Speakers et al. connected with
the club. Walter Johnson is the sole
blooming star right now, unless one
wishes to consider Clyde Milan as still
a member of the elect club.
The reserve list of the Washington
club shows most of its promising ma
terial gobbled up in the demand for
men in the army and navy. Mike
Menoskey, as promising a recruit as
ever showed in the big leagues, is
among those who entered the service.
Joe Leonard, a hard-hitting and clever
fielding third baseman, has gone to the
colors, and several others not so highly |
regarded have poined.
The Senators’ pitching staff has
been about all the club could boast
for several years, and Griffith probably
is busy thanking fate that his best
men for hurling duty have not jumped
to the world league. Walter Johnson,
Harry Harper, Crain, Craft and other
stars still are held on the Senators’ j
list.
Strength with the Washington club
depends almost wholly on the pitching
staff. If it holds up the Senators may
finish higher than last summer, but
there is small hope.
The infield is only passing fair, and
the outfield is only fair as an Ameri
can league aggregation. Clyde Milan
is the star of the outer trio, and Milan
is growing into the veteran class with'
such speed that it is doubtful if he i
ever will again have one of his old
time years. Joe Acosta has given1
prajj^ee.pf developing something, butj
the Washington club needs a complete j
renovation before it can again figure ■
in pennant struggles.
speculation as to Cardinals
What of the Cardinals, with Jack
Hendricks, erstwhile leader of a bush|
league team, at the helm? What Is
to become of this great team of young
sters, built up to a real factor in the
last race through the perseverance Of
Miller Huggins, now mentor of the
Yankees, Will they continue In the
race, or will they accept in passive
fashion the advent of a new man and
slide down?
There is only one answer to the
question. The Cardinals will be In
the race. Possessed of a clean-up hit
ter of the type of Rogers Hornsby,
owning a staff of some of the finest
pitchers in the land, backed by one of
the finest catchers in baseball, the
Cardinals are up there to stay awhile.
Indications are it will be the Cardinals
who will have most to say about who
wins the T918 pennant.
Some folks may point to the fact
that Hendricks will start without an
infield of any proportion, but stranger
things than that have happened to
baseball clubs without any dangerous
results, if Jack proves capable of
bridging the yawning hole in his in
field, it isn’t at all impossible that he
will lead one of the world’s series
teams next fall.
Hendricks is a smart baseball man,
one of the smartest in the game. His
minor league experience stamps him
as a man of real ability. His record
reads far more encouraging than did
that of Clarence Rowland when
“Pants” stepped into harness as a
major league director. But Rowland
w'on a pennant.
Hendricks will start with a brand
new team. It won't he to him a mat
ter of picking up a bunch of old men
and trying to shape them over to
his methods of playing ball. They'll
be ready to learn. He has a team of,
fast, dependable hitters. Cruise,
Hornsby and players of that ilk are
bound to cut their figures. Meadows,
Horstman, Doak and other pitchers
long ago proved to the National league!
that they’re good enough to give any1
club an argument. They’ll have their
say in lots of games the early critics
are voting to the Giants, Cubs and
other clubs. ,
In Frank Snyder the Cardinals have
a man who probably is the best |
catcher in the National league, if he ]
was receiving for New York he long i
ago would have been proclaimed that t
good. His work with the Cardinals t
this year may prove the turning point (
for that team. (
It is too early yet to pass a real <
opinion on the worth of the Cardinals ‘
as compared with the Giants and Cubs, r
but, believe the facts, they don't suf- c
fer a great deal by comparisons, r

Women Bowlers Compete f
CINCINNATI, Feb. 23.—Women are *
coming into their own this year in *
more ways than one. | f
Congress started the ball rolling by t
passing the women’s suffrage measure a
and now women are to have equal 1
rights with men in the bowling game i c
When the American Bowling Con- 1
gress, the largest bowling body in the t
world, opened its annual tourney at r
the Ohio National Guard armory here t
a few days ago women bowlers got t
their first chance to cmopete in a na- e
tional tourney. c
The women won't compete for the I
same prizes as the men, but will have s
a tourney of their own under the aus- t
pices of the Woman’s National Bowl- t
ing Association, and they will roll on i
the same alleys where the A. B. C.
championships will be decided.
It is the first time a women's tour- i
ney ever has been held in connection v
with the A. B. C. event. More than ^
fifty teams will bowl in the club event s
of the women's division. In future f
years the women expect to increase c
this number until their tourney rivals (
that of the men in size. t
This is not an impossibility by any (
means. When the A. B. C. held its c
first tourney, in 1901, at Chicago, only ]
forty one teams competed. The next 1
year sixty-one teams bowled at Buf- f
falo, and the following year seventy- c
eight rolled at Indianapolis. The A. B. 1
C. tourney then began growing by a
leaps and bounds until the high water t
mark was reached at Toledo in 1916, s
when 756 teams rolled.
Several nifty entertainment features
are on the card for the women bow;- a
ers. Among them will be a big card t
party with a monster prize list, h

Uncle Sam has gone to war in self 11
defense. With his ships ordered from j f
the free seas, his vessels destroyed,^ s
and his people wantonly murdered, he j i
was compelled either to submit or .a
fight. He has sprung to the side' j
of his allies to take up the I g
guage of battle. If Germany wins, f
eventually she will impose her will on|l
the civilized world, and the principles 11
for which our forefathers fought and
bled will perish from the face of t’ f
earth.
For thirty years Germany '
organizing every resourc^
well as material, for w 'h» men
women and youths train;
ed, her factories.. w mfoes, her har
bors, her railrr*^ ^ been ^
ned so as to. make effective all of her
power in the conflict that was intend
ed to make her dictator of the world.
Sht* has taught the countries against
Which she Is fighting that they too
i must make war with every ounce of
I human and material power in order to
match her wonderfully co-ordinated
I fighting machine.
Uncle Sam has assumed a sacred
trust. The entire civilized world looks
to him not to fail in defending the
piinciples with which to insure the
happiness of mankind for centuries to
come. With more than one-third of
the world’s wealth, with incalculable
material resources. Uncle Sam finds
that his supply of labor is limited and
cannot be appreciably increased. Hu
man industry, that is labor, alone can
sustain the fighters at the front. La
bor must be supplied continuously, and
at the point where it will product the
maximum benefit for the nation. The
shortage of man power must be met
by a redistribution. Idlers must be
come producers and the worker in a
non-essential industry must be induced
to take up something that is helpful in
winning the war. Labor must be drawn i
from sc- rces that have never been ;
utilized before. Uncle Sam takes in- j
ventory and finds that the most prom- (
ising supply from which to draw is|(
from the five million young men of ,
the nation between the ages of sixteen i
and twenty-one. About two million of ,
these are either idle or are engaged \
in non-productive activities for a sub- x
stantial part of the year. Uncle Sam,
after considering how he could make s
most readily available this source, t
brought into being the U. S. Boys’ u
Working Reserve.
What the Reserve Is
The U. S. Boys’ Working Reserve is
i registered army or patriotic youths
Detween the ages of sixteen and j I
:wenty-one, organized under the U. S.
lepartment of labor to help the nation
vhere most needed to win the war in
ield and factoiy. Every boy physieal
v fit, of proper age, is eligible for this p
ion-military civilian army. To enroll tl
he young man applies to his federal c<
fate director, fills out an enrollment gj
ard, obtains the consent of his par
nt, takes the Oath of Service and re
elves a certificate bearing the Great
leal of the United States and an en
ollment badge. He can serve his
ountry in three separate units of the
eserve. If he goes into the agricui
ural unit, he will probably work on a
arm from a camp, or live in the farm
r’s family, and after six weeks of
atisfactory service he will receive a
Bderal badge bearing the Great Seal
f the United States. If he works in
n industry which is essential in help
tig to win the war, he enters the in
ustrial unit, and gains the federal
ronze badge when he has served ten
reeks subsequent to enrollment. The
eserve recommends that all boys who
re at school remain there and use
heir spare time in preparing them
elves vocationally for some essential
ccupation. The boy who thus trains
imself and goes into active service in
war-essential occupation as a tnetn
er of the vocational unit, is awarded
he federal bronze badge on taking em
loyment.
What the Reserve Has Done
Organized in May, 1917, the reserve
as organizations completed or under
•ay in practically all of the states, and
aring the summer of 1917, had thou
ands of boys making good on the
arms. Many farmers, at first skepti
al as to the value that the boy labor
n farms, have been convinced that
he boy makes a capable farm labor
r, and they openly declare that with
ut the young men’s help during the
'ast season, they could never have
larvested their fall crops. The re
erve has operated under the state
ouncil of defense in each state and
as utilized boy labor organizations
lready in the same field of activity
3 the utmost, giving the members of
uch bodies federal recognition.
The Call to Youth
Never before has the boy had such
n opportunity to become a vital fac
3r in history. Every boy who loves
is country should ask himself, “How
an I Best Serve the Nation in the
lrar Emergency?" He should realize
tiat, having received untold benefits
•ora the freest and best government
n earth, he holds his services in trust
ir the preservation of Democracy *

To the Parents
Fathers and mothers of the nation
should see to it that their sons are
members of the Reserve. The Reserre*
is entirely voluntary and a boy may
be withdrawn from membership in. the
discretion of the parent. If a boy i»
in school, he will not be taken from
his studies, but will be encouraged to
utilize his vacation and spare time in
training for productive activities. It
is the patriotic duty of the parents not
only to see that their sons join the Re
serve, but to spread the gospel of the
Reserve among other fathers and.
mothers.
To the Employer
The Reserve has proved conclusively
that, even though inexperienced, the
strong, healthy boy, inspired by pa
triotism, is a capable and adaptable
helper in field and factory. Every
employer should remember, however,
the limitations of youth, and no em
ployer should work members of the
Reserve long hours. The Reserve has
been firm in upholding child labor
laws and in contending for reasonable
hours of toil. The Reserve recom
mends supervision of boy laborers and
frequent inspection of working condi
tions. The boy of today is the man of
tomorrow, and the future of the 11a
i°n depends upon the moral and phys
cal welfare of its boys.
Toil for Freedom
Young men, are you giving your best
o your country? Fathers and mothers,
ire you guiding your sons into the
laths of greatest usefulness to the na
ion. Employers, are you using men
hat your country needs in the war
imergency while you selfishly shirk
rom the task of training the youths
rho, though inexperienced, are fired
iith patriotic impulse to do a man’s
'ork for you?
Young men of America, join the Re
erve! Parents of America, endorse
he Reserve! Employers of America,
se the Reserve!
