VICTORY FOR SPRING MILLS
IN HARD FOUGHT GAME.
Triumph Over Boalsburg on Latter's
Grounds at Community Picnic.—
A Pitcher’s Battle.
The Spring Mills baseball team won a
hard fought game from the Boalsburg
club, at Boalsburg, on Saturday, on the
occasion of the Community Picnic, by
the scoreof 8to 6, It was a pitcher's
battle, notwithstanding the heavy hit
ting done by each team. For Spring
Mills, Eugene Gramley, Penn State var-
sity pitcher, with a string of victories a-
gainst Penn State's strongest opponents
to his credit, did mound duty, and the
one big surprise to those who are judges
of good ball players was the freedom the
Boalsburg boys took with Gramley’s de-
livery. They connected with ten safe
hits, several being of the scratch order,
which on a better diamond would
been easy outs,

Imports of Sugar From Cuba Prevent
Shortage.
With a fieet of 100 ships bringing in
cargoes approximately 100,000 tons of
sugar from Cuba within two weeks, tle
Sugar Equalization Board of the Food
Administration declares a sugar short-
age has been forestalled. In addition,
20,000 tons of beet sugar have been pro.
cured from California. The sugar de
mand this year has been at least 200,000
tons greater than at the same time in
1918, it is said.
Denial has been made by the board of
statements that canpers had been un-
duly favored in the distribution of army
sugar, Five hundred thousand pounds
of the 45,000,000 pounds released by the
army was alloted to New York City
alone, and proportionate distribution
was made throughout the rest of the
country, The needs of the canneries
were supplied, otherwise millions of dol
la s worth of fruit on hand would have
spoiled, but there has been no unjust
favoritism,
Unprecedented demand, largely
through the manufacture of greater
quantities of syrups, soft drinks, sugars
and candies in the present prohibition
period, and the failure of dealers to or-
der in time are the two principal reasons
assigned by the board for the present
stringency.
