Tennessee Rats Take
Game From Brandeis
Viviens' stunts proved too much for
the Brandies boys at Rouke Park yes
terday and they went down to defeat
by the score of 4 to 1 before the Ten
nessee Rats.
The colored boys played great ball
and deserved to win. Potach started
for the locals but lasted but four
frames. Seven hits good for four runs
being made off his offering. Olson
releived him in the fifth and stopped
the scoring but it was too late. Four
hits were all the locals could get off
Viviens who was in grand form.

Close Races in Practically All
of Local Amateur Leagues
Keep Enthusiasm at
High Pitch.
By FRANK QUIGLEY
Although the draft bumped every
domicile in these United States, nev
ertheless it captured position two as
far as local excitement is concerned
among the ardent devotees of amateur
baseball, because the turmoil of the
combatants seeking the highest hon
ors of the various classes has inoc
ulated a baseball fever that no ther
mometer can register and said fever
will continue to exist until all the
championship games are safely
packed in the refrigerator of history.
Last Sunday the Krajiceks made
their final appearance for the, season
of 1917 on the municipal lots, for
George Clark, supervisor of the muny
umps, has barred them. During their
debate with the Stags the Krajiceks
wrangled with tHfe adjudicator from
the bell until the whistle. Hornig,
initial sack guardian, threw the ball
at the barker, and he was immediately
ejected from the game. One of the
Dahlman Knights took his place. The
only reason several more of the
Krajiceks were irbt out out of the
game wis on account of the fact that
no available talent was on deck to
fill the vacancies that would be left
open by their departure. 1 The Kra
jiceks are the only team that received
the hardware to date this season and
according to Clark the suspension
will not be lifted. The suspension
was because of the general deport
ment of the entire team.
Last season the Hollys were su
spended but later Clark relented and
released them. Besides the Kra
jiceks two players havei been suspen
ded to date, namely, Hollander, sec
ond pillow watchman for the W.
O. W. and Lacy, shortstop for the
Omaha Crockery Co. Hollander
threw a bat at one of the umpires and
Lacey took a 40 horse power swing
at Reber's jaw.

Lauder Turns to Religion "
After the Tragedy of War
In H. G. Wells' great book, .Mr.
Britling finds God through the death
of his son on the battle field. Through
the same profound experience religion
has come to Harry Lauder, the fa
mous siqger of sweet Scottish ballads.
You may have seen, some months
ago, a picture of "Harry Lauder and
His Wife and Son;" it was printed
everywhere, the face of the genial old
comedian beaming with pride in his
son, just enlisted and going to the
front. Lauder had lived for his boy,
John. He had planned to buy him an
estate in Scotland and give it to him
on the day he should marry.
The news of John's death came
while Lauder was singing a comic
song in a music hall in London. They
handed him the telegram when he
came off the stage, and he fell into a
chair. In his agony he rushed over
to t ranee and saw the grave ot his
son, and heard there the story ot how
the boy had turned to God in the
trenches, and of how bravely he died;
and then Lauder hastened to comfort
his wife in their Scottish home. There
a good old Scotish dominie went to
console him. He found Lauder in an
arm. chair by the fireplace.
We were pals, my boy and I, said
Lauder and if you could have seen
that little white cross in France you
might imagine a little of the ache that
came into my heart and the emptiness
that came into my life. When a great
blow like that hits a man, he takes one
of three roads. He mav pive wav to
despair, sour on the world and become
a grouch; he may try to drown his
sorrow in drink and become a wreck.
or he may turn to God. I have chosen
my road. I have turned to God."
since then Harry Lauder has been
sinsine and oreachinz to the soldiers
in the concentration camps in England
and m the camps behind the battle
line in France and Belgium. Kansas

boldface black type as follows:
"A lot of people in this town fall

Wanji's Wife Amazed Him
And He Told Reason
I remember one Wanji fa Bulu
tribesman) who was a year gone far
inland. He was hunting an ivory-
that is, he was sitting in a village of
the backwoods where the headman
owned an ivory, the express object of
Wanjis desire and of his bargaining.
Before he left home he gave his little
fortune his collection of marketable
objects to the care of Ze, a wife of
his who was a Christian.
Two rainy seasons and two dry sea
sons passed the measure of the white
man's year before Wanji returned,
and when he came home one of his
wives was missing; she had run away,
Another wife had a child. Wanji did
not wonder at either of these women.
But much he marveled at Ze, who still
sat m her house, caring for his pos
sessions. They were all packed under
her bamboo bed. and of her the
neighbors said:
"Every night of the many nights
you have journeyed Ze has sat in her
hut; as you see her today, so has she
continually sat. She has gone to her
garden, she has cooked her food in
her pot, she has eaten, she has slept,
just as you see. We have no word to
tell you of Ze."
Then Wanji put on his felt hat that
was made in Germany, and that was
his badge of office, for he was a little
of a headman, and he put a lad before
him in the path with a lantern (it was
broad day, but this was ostentation),
and he made a call at the town of the
white man. He looked what he was
the old type of headman and v, ith
out preamble he said:
"I have come to tell you that I
wonder at my wife Ze. She is a per
son of the tribe of God. I have been
inland two rainy seasons and two dry
seasons, yet that woman has kept the
commandments of God This thing
I know was never done by the
strength of a black woman, though a
white woman might be able to do even
this. I see the white women that they

WITHOUT BEER, UP
WILL GO PRICE OF
BREADJiAYS NICK
Representative Longworth,
Son-in-Law of "T. R.," De
clares Brewers Control
Yeast Supply.
Washington, July .If the brew
eries of the country are closed, in
accordance with provisions of the
food control bill as it passed the
house, it will increase the price of
bread, Representative Nicholas Long
worth told the house.
Mr. Longworth said he had made a
careful study of the question, and was
convinced that prohibition of beer
manufacture would result in a short
age of not less than 40 per cent in the
supply of yeast in the country.
In support of his statement Mr.
Longworth had printed in the record
a statement from George W. Lester,
vice president of the Fleischmann
company, that "the sudden and unad
justed application of prohibition would
result in insufficiency of yeast in our
cities for a considerable period of
time, in some places so extreme as to
make it impossible for the bakers to
supply the normal trade."
"To sum up briefly," continued Mr.:
Longworth, "the situation seems to
be indisputably this: Malt sprouts
under modern processes of yeast mak
infi are an absolute necessity, form
ing as they do one-third of the con
tents of the mash from which yeast
is developed. By the use of malt
sprouts a yield of yeast of 35 per cent
is obtained. Under no other arocess
is there a yield of more than lJ"to 13
per cent. t
"Malt sprouts . are obtained only
from the malting of barley, and barley
is only malted in this country in the
manufacture of beer. Thus if the
manufacture of beer should be pro
hibited by law, the yeastmakers would
be forced to abandon ' the modern
process of making yeast and go back
to the old methods, which are greatly
more expensive and inefficient."
Mr. Longworth said that personally
he was opposed to the prohibition of
manufacturing beer for other reasons,
one because it reduced revenues, and
another because it deprived the poor
man of his dnnk.
"No matter what one s views may
be upon prohibition as an ethical
question," he finished, "it seems to me
that our highest duty as members of
congress is to see to it that through
no action of ours may a shortage be
caused in the bread supply of th
country while we are at war."
Mouth Harp Strains of
National Anthem Bring Cheers
A little sound will fan patriotism
into a blaze these crucial hours: a
laborer with a jew's-hard may cause
as fine enthusiasm as a brass band;
and all because the long-sleeping
spirit of nationalism has revived to
throttle sectionalism, and to show
that America is one.
While car 75, going to Wilk-
insburg, via Oakland and East
Liberty was beginning to be crowded
before the quitting hours, a carpenter,
afterward giving his name as Allen
Petersen, of Wilkinsburg, boarded a
car at Grant street and Fifth avenue,
heading home.
Shortly the strains of a jew s-hard
resounded with "The Wearing of the
Green," "Marching Through Georgia"
and then a shuffle was heard, and as
many looked around it was seen that
the genius of the mouth harp had
risen to his feet. Those near him saw
him sway broadly, and then "The Star-
