TRADE ELBERFELD
FOR WALLACE? NEVER

4 yarn comes from St. Louis to the
effect that Manager McAdeef OF the
American League team OF that city is
anxious to trade Shortstop Bobby Wal
lace to the New York Americans for
either Kid Elberfeld or Hal Chase. "a al
lace wants $500 for this seasons work
on the diamond, and as the St. Louis club
owner does not care to pay such big
salary the player says that he wants 10

lace had three years contract for $500
a season which expired last fall so he
cannot be blamed for asking for the same
money again. But when it is suggested
that McAieer might trade him to Clark
Griffith for either Elberfeld or Chase II
is stretching the point not little. In the
first place Griffith would not exchange
Chase for any other ball player in
America, for the New York manager
considers him not only the greatest iIrst

most remarkable all-around artist that
has been seen on the diamond in many

of perhaps ten years before HIM and who
will become an even greater performer
than he is at present. Chase VIII receive
$1,000 for his services this year. in ac
cordance with a two-year contract which
he signed last spring.
AS far as Elberfeld is concerned the
New York club officials believe he is the
equal of Wallace in all departments OF
the game and that he will be much easier
to handle than i'm the past. Elberfeld will
play ball this year for a salary close to
49, 700. of which Loo will be paid to him
next fall IL he shows that he has given
his best efforts to the club. Wallace is
a splendid ball player. also an earnest.

ONE OF THE BEST OF

it's certainly a bully good one:
The 'Rube" Waddell yarn that Con

'Rube's'' performance in winning two
games in one day. This happened one
red-hot afternoon when Mack owned the
Milwaukee team in the early days of
the Anne rican League, and the double vic
tory was at the expense of the White
Sox.
The first game lasted seventeen innings
The RUDE pitched in great form all the
way. At the end OF the fray, as "Rube"
sat tie bench painting for breath,
Mack approached him.
Are you in shape to pitch the second
game asked Mack.
Il don't know. Connie. ~ answered
Waddell. Il can tell better after 1 warm

FARMERS PROBLEMS
Need Of Social Organization Noted by
Country Life Body.

Washington, Dec 2S.--Serious prob

OF the country to the other the sou-
tion OF which they are going to de-
mand, said l.. H. Bailey, chairman Of
the Country Life Commission, who.
with four other members of that body,
arrived here, are to prepare report
to President Roosevelt The first
meeting to consider the report was
held Monday. Since The commission
began its trip on Nov last, through
every state and territory, q mass Of
information has been collected The
commission expects to have its report
ready before the end of the month.
Everywhere there are serious eco
nomic questions along the lines Of
distribution. marketing and the lack
Of effective cooperation among the
farmers, says Prof Bailey.
Farmers are in need OF organiza-
ton and more particularly Of social or
ganization. We found. for example,
where farming IS very prosperous the
social conditions may not be very
good. Great emphasis has been plac-
ed on the deficiencies IN schools and
the need of better highways.

called masauku, are those that are
