SAYS FARMERS NEED
BETTER BANKING
Requirements of Agriculturists
Not Properly Met, George +.
Lawson Declares

In the opening address before the
Michigan State Bankers association
in its twenty-eighth annual conven
ton on board the Eastern States, en-
route 10 Mackinac island, Tuesday
night, George +. Lawson. yice-presi-
dent of the Peoples State bank. and
president OF the state organization,
emphasized the need of more efficient
banking and financial service for the
agricultural interests OF the country.
This is recognized by students of
banking as one Of the greatest short
comings OF the American system. Mr..
Lawson called upon his fellow bank
ers TO do all they can 10 remedy ex-
listing conditions, assuring them that
their interests would best be served
by the prosperity or their respective
communities.
He made plea for support of the
administration in Washington in
working out proposed reforms. say
ing: II would direct your attention
to the agitation now on foot for the
establishment OF the so-called land
bank for furnishing rural credits at
low rates. The administration in
Washington has recently begun in
vesdgation of the conditions in farm
ing districts to learn just how readily
the farmers need OF money is met,
the rates he pays and the terms of
repayment, with the idea OF adopting
European methods for his benefit II
IL appears that he is handicapped by
existing practices. At first blush IL
may seem that your business would
be disturbed thereby, but careful
study of the question viii, | think,
lead to the conclusion that the long
time loans thus made possible would
be OF tremendous advantage 10 the
borrowers without any way interior
ing with the ordinary functions OF
banking"
Mr. Lawson complimented highly
the State Agricultural college on what
II is doing for the farming interests
Other speakers who will address the
association during the trip are Ar

president of the American Bankers

A REMINDER FOR BALTIC.
Comments on Article Written by Bal.
 tic Manager,

To the Sporting Editor:
 In "Wednesday mornings paper there appeared an article stating how hard 1t is to win a game on the Taftville floor because of the crowd interfering and unfair referees, written tby the Baltic basketball manager. It looks as if the manager had forgotten the game played in Baltic last year be- tween the Baltic team and the Laurel Hills when the latter had the game robbed from them on account of a ref cree who allowed the Baltic team to shoot basket after he had blown the whistle. This basket won the game for Baltic. Speaking of clean players, look at what Baltic did to the oppos- ing players-broke Eddie BelIefieur's colIarbone, dislocated one Of Jackson's toes and rendered one player uncon- scious for several minutes. The most noticeable thing of all is that they have not given the Laurel Hills a re- turn game yet. Perhaps they are afraid to face the Laurel Hills again because they might receive harsh treatment or they don't want to lose their reputa- ton.

NO COMMISSION ON DRAFT PRICE
National Board Rules Manager Ot Cannot Collect From adian CMb-He Had Contract For Commission Sales Draft is Not Sale in Opinion of Board.

Cincinnati, Ohio. March 25-The promulgated a finding and a notice to ali national agreement clubs. The commission upheld the national board in the latter's ruling that player and manager George R. Ort, of the St. Thomas club. of the Canadian league, was not entitled to 15 percent of the money obtained through the drafting of players. Ort had a contract call ing for 15 percent of all money real ized by the St Thomas club through the sale of players, but both the na- tional board and the commission held that there was a wide difference be- tween the sale of a player and the releasing of the played by draft.
 The notice follows:
 Section IS of the agreement with the baseball players fraternity reads as follows;
 Before d major league player shall be released outright or under an ap- tioral agreement to ClaSSA, or a lower classification, his services shall first be rendered to all Class AA clubs at a price not to exceed s7501. If he be a drafted player the club from which he is drafted shall have prior claim to all other clubs in it's classification.
 There seems to be a misundering as to the exact meaning of this particular clause.
 When a major league club makes application for inter-league waivers it should at the same time notify the president of the league of which 1t is member whether the player will be released internationally, outright or under an optional agreement if waivers are obtained. An outright re- lease is construed to mean the play CTS transfer from one club to another, either with or without consideration and without the nnfinn Of the right to recall him In such case the player must first be rendered to Class A. and clubs at a price not to exceed those stipulated in section IS.
 If it is the intention of the major league club to release the player under an optional agreement then the amount of the option price shall be not less than $300 as stipulated in rule 13 of the commission and not more than the respective amounts pre- scribed in section Is of the fraternity agreement.
 "f the major league club and the claiming minor league club cannot agree on the optional price, the presi- dents of the leagues of the respective clubs shall determine the considera- tion, provided, however, it shall not exceed the amounts fixed in section IS, above quoted.
 Section Is does not change the sys- tenn of returning drafted players as prescribed in section g, Article VI, of the national agreement and regulated by rule S2 of the mission, in any respect.
 "A drafted player who has not been claimed before February 1, following his selection, becomes subject to sec- ton IS, when released by a major league to 8 minor leagus club.

JIM THORPE ON
 GIANTS FIRST TEAM.
Starts the Season as a Regular in Gi-
 ant Outfield.

McGraw organized his regular team and it played together for the first time at Marlin. The organization was not complete. however, for there are a couple of cripples on the first squad, Fletcher is still unable to play and won't be able to for at least a week, and Bescher, who was to have start ed as a regular in centre, has bad ankles.
 Dyer will be the regular shortstop until Fletcher returns. It looks as if he would be the seasons substitute for that position inasmuch as he is on the first team at present. Bescher thinks he has a bone in his foot lose or splintered or something like that. In any event, it is all he can do to walk on it just now. Thorpe was sent to centre instead of Bescher and Snodgrass was at third for the newly feorganizeG second team For the present he has been crowded off of the first team, but may regain his place. That depends upon develop ments, such as how soon Bescher gets back and how well he does when he does get back.
