President Ban Johum‘_ of the American league to- ¥, . it .Johnson's ~ aanouncement was made after he had received a let- ter from General March, chief of staff of, the army, who advised that the war department, under present conditions, could ‘see no reason why the game should not be resumed. “The war department closed base- ball last September, by declaring it non-essential, and it was only proper that the department should be con- sulted in regard to our plans for re- pening,” President Johnson said. ‘Consequently I put the entirc situa- tion before General March for his ap- proval.” President Johnson said that the stars of baseball who joined the ser- vice, among them Ty Cobb, Pitcher Alexander, Benny Kauff, “Hank” Gow- dy and others, probably would _be among the frst to receive their dis- charge, so they would be able to join their clubs on the spring training trips. Cobb is a captain in a chemi- cal division now in Francs. Definite plans for the resumption of the game will be made at the annual meetings of the major leagues this month. The National League will hold its sessions in New York on Decem- ber 10, and the American lcague prob- ably will convene in Chicago two days later. President Johnson said he did nct believe there would be a joint session of the two leagues, although the Na- tional League had requested it. Com- mittees from the two organizations, together with a_committes from the National Association of Minor Leagues probably will meet soon after the ses- sions of the major leagues to settle number of questions of policy con- fronting them, pLANS UNDER WAY FOR GREAT MILiTARY OLYMPIC American Army Headguarters in France, Tuesday, Dec. 3.—(By The A.| P) Plans are under way for the greatest series of military athletic events ever held.

Combies' quartette won its match, two games out of three, on Wednesday night at the Elks' home when the first match of the Elkis duck- pin tourney was rolled, defeating Capt. Lucyls team in a hard \ought match in which the result was in doubt al- most to the last ball, The winners put down a total pinfail of 1045 to 1027 for the losers, Each team had a game when they started the third and deciding game of the match and for a time it looked as if Capt. Lucy’s team 'was going:to win out when Carberry and Lucy e: tablished a good lead on their respec: tive opponents early in ths game. Car- berry's strike and two spares by. Lucy made the prospects look $00d fof their side, but Somers on the cther team came along with a striké and Bickel~ haup sandwiched in a spare or two that swung the balance back again to their side, especially as Carney and Fitzgerald went off form and fell be- low 80 apiece. Counihan. also made his highest score of the might in this game and assisted in bringing home the bacon. A Capt. Combies ‘won the' individual honors with high single. and three string total.

WILLARD SOON TO RETIRE MAY GIVE TITLE TO DEMPSEY'| Wichita Falls, Texas, Dec. 4—In- timate friends of Jess Willard, who has been maintaining his headquarters here, stated today, {he heavyweight champion of the world might soon an- nounce his permanent retirement from the ring Willard has thus far de- clined- to discuss his intentions, but it is stated by his associates he has for some time intended to abandon the title and he has prac- tically made up his mind not to appear proféssionolly again. It is no secret Willard is condition to fight. He has doing little exercising in months, and a return to the arena in proper form would practically ~ impossible. Prior Fulton's knockout at the hands Jack Dempsey the champion entertain serious intentions of entering the ring, but when the plasterer fell before ‘“Jack, the Giant-Killer,” the champion decid- ed to quit the ring. That Jess. Willard is planning to retire from the ring and .turn his title over to Jack Dempsey of Utah was known in advices received in in no been | recent | roped be | to| of | did | re- New York, from associates of Willard at his_ headquarters in Wichita Falls. Boxing _authorities, including Frank O'Neill, Former box- ing commissioner, and disinterested persons among the leading promoters and managers, assert that any trans- fer of the title by Willard to Demp- sey would be met with a nationwide howl from boxing fans. The idea of “handing over” title has always been scorned in the world of sports, the fans per- haps believing in the. non-existence of “divine” or ‘regal’ power. While Dempsey has - without doubt merited some consideration for the title, it is unanimously expressed that he hasno more call to the title than a half doz- en others, and if Willard is at last going to abandon the title which he has been so unwilling to defend, it should settle upon no one until finally won in a series of matches. any HOLY CROSS MAY HAVE BASKETBALL TEAM Students of Holy Cross will prob- ably organize a basketball team this year.

There was a head-on collision at the Stonington railway station early Wed- nesday evening, two locomotives com- ing together on the westbound track, but without injury to persons, and not extensive damage to rolling stock, A switch engine which had been engaged on the shipyard spur track came out on the main line, within the yard lim- its, and_came to a standstill near the tower. Just then an eastiound freight train came along with two locomotives, one at the head of the train and the ther at the tail end, serving as u “pusher.” Just as soon as. the engineer of the head Jocomotive saw the obstacle the brakes were reversed, but the pusher Worked harder than ever, and the col- lision resulted, before it was possible to bring the freight train to a stand- still. The engineer, fireman and train- man in the head locomotive jumped just before the collision.and escaped injury except the engineer, whose left knee was somewhat sprained. The pony wheels of the eastbound engine left the rails, but the rest of the train and the ilght engine remain- ed intact. Steam pipes were smashed on the locomotive of the freight train and another was substituted before the train proceeded. ' The forward end of the light engine was damaged. The wrecking crew from Midway clearel the way within an hour. While the work was on eastbound trains were run on the westbound track from Ston- ington to Westerly. Miss Happie L.

Members of Stonington Lodge, No. 26, I. 0. O. F., have received invita- tions to attend the seventy-third an- niversary and roll call to be held-on Wednesday evening, Dec. 11. An in- vitation has been extended Grandmas- 214 cents per pound ~ Low Meat Prices vs. High Cattle Prices If the farmer cannot get enough for his live stock, he raises less, and the packer gets less raw material. If the consumer has to pay too much for his meat, he eats less of it, and the packer finds his market decreased. The packer wants the producer to get enough to make live-stock raising profitable, and he wants the price of meat so iow that everyone will eat it. But all he can do,and what he would have to do in any case to stay in business, is to keep down the cost of pro- cessing the farmer’s stock nto meat so that the consamer pays for the meat and by-products only a little more than the farmer gets for his animals. For example, last year Swift & Company paid 'for its cattle about 90 per cent of what it got for meat and by-products (such as hides, tallow, oils, etc.) If cattle from the farm were turned miraculously into meatin the hands of retailers (without going through the expense of dressing, shipping and marketing), the farmer would get enly about 114 cents per pound more for his cattle, or consumers would pay only about less for their beefl Out of this cent or two per pound, Swift & Company pays for the operation of extensive plants, pays freight on meats, operates refriger- ator cars, maintains branch houses, and in.most cases, delivers to retailers all over the United States. The fraction of a cent, and a part of this profit goes to build more plants, to give better service, and to increase the company’s usefulness to the country. H. C.
