Saiats Hammer Pete's Slants
to All Corners of the Lot and
Win in , Easj Fashion,
: Ten to Four.
St. Joseph had a field day at the
c:.pense of the Rourkes yesterday and
won, 10 to 4. ' ' 1
The Rourkes appently were off their
feed. Pete McGuire was hammered
soundly and the performances of his
mates both a(. bat and in the field
were nothing to brag about.
' The' Saints put over three runs in
the first inning on a couple of hits
mixed with errors . and stolen bases
and from then - on it was all St.
Joseph's game.-
Miller and Shaw were , the ' onlv
Rourkes able to toucrj BertGrover at
ail. iheynicked him for three hits
each, but they couldn't win the game
themselves.
Ordinarily Pa probably would have
jerked McGuire yesterday, but he has
only three other pitchers and all have
been worked in the last two days.
Krug subbed for Phil Cooney at sec
ond despite his wounded ankle.
The Rourkes and Saints resume
hostilities today "with Otto Men
booked to hurl.. Game' starts at 3:15.

Hartford, Com., Sept. 4. Bobby
C had an easy time in the Grand Cir
cuit 2:14 trot, taking the lead at' the
start and never being headed in any
of the three heats. Jesse Y, the
favorite, acted badly, breaking; in
every heat when Brusie attempted to
seind her up to catch Bobby C.
In the 2:18 pace John C. A. P. acted
badly after winning the. first heat and
being nosed out in the second by Dr.
Gordon, and the bay stallion was be
hind the flag in the third. Crozier
had no trouble in taking the race after
he disposed of John A. P. in the sec
ond heat.
Suldine acted hadlv for Murray in
the'fitst two htats of the 2:24 trot,
which were won by On The Rhine,
but in the third heat he trotted in
form and duplicated the performance
in the fourth heat. The bay stallion
apparently haa the race won irt the
fifth heat when another break set him
back and Crozier slipped itno first
place with Don Dix and clinched
third money. In the sixth and decid
ing heat between the two horses, Sul
tline lay in. back of On The Rhine
until the stretch and then passed Tall

SUFFS DEFY POLICE

Women Take - Advantage, of
Draft Army Procession to
Pull Off Picketing Ex- N

4-
Washington,- Sept. 4. Militants of
the national woman's party made to-?
day's procession in honor of men ,
drafted for the national army the
occasion for more picketing of the
White House. Pickets began appear
ing at the White ,House gates in pairs,
and as the police arrested them others
took their places. The wpmen an
nounced they would keep up the bat
tle as long as the supply of pickets!
held out. "
The supply of pickets kept steadily
coming to the White House gates as
fast as the police made the arrests,
and an hour before the procession
started ten had been taken in. The
women's managers said they had
enough pickets on hand to lastall
afternoon. -
pespite ' the announcement that
there was an afternoon's supply of,
pickets on hand, the continued arrests
seemingly dampened the ardor of the '
volunteers and after ten had been
taken in the picketing stopped. AH
those arrested ' were bailed out for
trial later.

Government Will Not Permit Any
Competition for Wheat Crop, as
v Farmers Must Have the Seed
Lincoln, Neb., Sept." 4 George
Coupland, vice chairman -of the Ne
braska State Council ot Defense,, is
sued the following statement
To the farmers, grain dealers and
millers of Nebraska ''i , x
A Very serious condition now exists
in Nebraska with' regard to the seed
wheat situation. Elevators and mils
which have purchased winter wheat
suitable for seed at prices higher than
that fixed by the government for the
1917 crop are reluctant to sell this
wheat at a price which means a loss
to them. Farmers who have wheat
stocks on hard, many of them are
holding their wheat for a price which
k far above that set by the govern
prtnt. Those farmers -whohave to
purchase their seed wht supply are
also reluctant to pay more than the
price fixed by the government. ;
f The time is right upon us when the
sowing of wheat in Nebraska must
begin, and it is absolutely necessary
that every possible acre .of wheat
should be, sown this fall.
For the information of the farmers,
elevators and mills of Nebraska, the.
Nebraska State Council of Defense is
authorized by Charles N. Neal of the
United States food administration to
make the following statement: That
he, Mr. Neal, as agent and on behalf
of the government, will purchase all
the wheat .now in Nebraska at the
price fixed by the president, viz., $2.12.
per bushel, based upon the grade ol
f No.' 1 hard wheat, delivered Omaha,
No mill in Nebraska of over 100 bar
rels per day capacity will be per
mitted to compete with the govern
ment purchasing agent. This means
that holders of wheat in Nebraska
cannot market their stocks formor
than trie price fixed by the govern
ment ;
The State Council of Defense there,
fore earnestly asks that all holders oi
wheat seed stocks do at once loyally
co-operate with the government in
helping supply the wheat needed b
those who are desirous of buying it
to plant this fall. . '
' No wheat seed should be withheld
from those who are willing to pay the
price fixed by the government Should
there be localities -in the state that
have any difficulty in securing sed
wheat at. equitable prices, if they will
notify the State Council of Defense,
arrangements can be at once made to
ship the seed wheat which has been
bought by the government food agent.
The United States government is de
sirous that every available acre in
Nebraska be sown to wheat this fall
and earnestly asks that a loyal re
sponse be made by all those who are
able to contribute to its achievement
The government by special legislation
has provided -that $2 per bushel shall
be paid for the 1918 wheat crop.
