Manager Christy Mathewson of the Cincinnati Nationals, declared today that he would go to France to direct and de velop baseball among the American soldiers If he was assured that bis services were indispensable and would Improve the morale, of the troops "over there." - r Mathewson's declaration came af ter he had held a lengthy conference with Dr. George C. Fisher of New York, who Is International director of physical instructors of the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Fisher .came here on pur pose to enlist the Red leader's ser vices for baseball among the sold iers. The whole matter was left In abey ance until Dr.- Fisher returns to New York and gets Into communication with the Y. M. C. A. leaders in France: If they continue to Insist on Mathewson going over he probably will do so. President Herrmann will confer in Chicago tomorrow with B. B.

May 22 and 23. under the auspices of the state coun cil of defense. In a statement is sued Governor Withycombe says: "Because many matters of vital importance will be discussed at Ore gon's first war conference to be held in Portland. Mar 22 and 21. I re spectfully urge the war workers and officials In 'the. cities and communi ties of Oregon, to make their be)t effort to be present and participate in the proceedings which are to be conducted under tne auspices of the state council of defense. r "So manv of the war time emerg encies arlslnr In the various local communities are of a similar nature that It would be both helpful and wise to exchange views looking to ward a uniform or co-operative treat ment of the different situations In sofar as a general plan could be worked out feaslblyand comprehen sively. . "The. success of the coming con ference depends largely, of course, upon the measure of support given by the war workers of Oregon who nave thus far enthusiastically and whole-heartedly promoted the gener al patriotic program m. May I not. therefore, rely upon the loyal people of Oregon to assist the state council of defense in occompllrhlng con structive results?" UAHKIIALL GOSMII. Larry Doyle's fine showing on bis return to the Giants from the Cubs tips John McGraw where to send his players for more seasoning.. George Wblteman had to wait good many years for an opportunity to pastime la the big yard, but that hasn't prevented the veteran from keeping step with the Red Sox. . Although "Ping" Bodle, formerly of the' Mack men, ,1s a modest pas timer, he doesn't "hesitate to admit that the Yankees are a much Un proved outfit this season. The critics point to the White Sox losing their opening game as proof of their prediction that the present generation will never see the Sox win another pennant. "Buck" Herrog has been appointed captain of the Braves. After his ex perience as manager of the Reds. "Buck" doesn't care what becomes !ef hfm. Fate plays queer pranks In the ca reers of some ball players. ' After playing on different big league teams for years, Sherwood and Lee Magee now find themselves teammates with the Cincinnati Reds. ' Among the many Philadelphia ad mirers of G rover Cleveland Alexan der none will rerret the absence 'of Alex from the Pbllly lineup more than the PhlUy pitchers. The Philly pitchers will lead a terrible life this season. . Pity the ioor pastime who is sen tenced to perform - In SL Louis.

Several years have passed since he used it on the Johnson circuit. As was to be expected. Manager Bezdek of the Pirates has gathered what appears to be a right smart ball team. It was admitted that Bezdek knew nothing - of baseball ; when he came Into the big top. ' Connie Mack seems to have shirted his tactics. Instead of kidnapping collegians and sand loiters for the Athletics. It looks as If Connie was depending upon the pension bureau to supply htm with pastimeis. 1 Speaking of his pitching corps.

Added to the thousands of tons of produce that will go through .these plants there will be carloads train loads or fruit that will go Into the manufacture of fruit Juices, or tbst will be evaporated or shipped fresh to outside markets. Prune Demand Immense. All local buyers and shippers cf fruits are looking forward to a great fruit season In spite of the frosts and continued cold weather in April. The only possibility of dis appointment seems to be In a repeti tion of the dry summer of last year, and that Is not at all likely. The value of the crop is going to be en hanced by the increased marketing capacity of the nation generally, and further by the entry of the govern ment Into the field.

This will be at least one third of the estimated crop of Cali fornia. - Hence an Increased deroaci for the Oregon product and a corre sponding appreciation of the prices. Labor Plenty at Home. There will be little need for people of the working class to look away from the .Willamette valley for em ployment v after the fruit harvest begins. Rather there Is likely to be a csmpalgn I na gun rated to Indue people who do not ear for this line of work to turn out and help about saving the crops as a patriotic duty. The people of Europe will be ori In need of the products of this valley. In this connection one point shofa!l be made -plain to the fruit consum ers.
