The Worlds Gold
Into America

The United States has its first great victory to record as a result of the
val in Europe. 1t is a peaceful victory that will shed its practical
benefits into every channel of American industry and commerce.
For the first time in many years the balance of gold exchange is in
favor of this country. In other words, European purchases OF American COM
modiies have greatly exceeded American purchases of European commodities
during the past year. This is a condition which must benefit the United States
because Europes purchases must be paid for with European gold. This gold
coming into the United States will be distributed through all trade channels.
Such a situation should result in great business prosperity. .
Read THE LITERARY DIGEST of March 9th Ton sale everywhere
to-day and you will find a complete description OF this important development.
including a reflex of public opinion as shown by the newspaper press of Europe
and America, regarding it THE DIGEST makes plain to every reader the
tremendous Importance of this rare situation in its relation to the business
conditions of the United States.

TIM HURST CALLED
OUT BY Great UMPIRE

Tim Hurst, the former American
League umpire and referee of many
of the great fistic battles in this
country, died of acute Indigestion yes
terday at Minersville, Pa. where he
had gone to attend the funeral of a
relative. The death of Hurst marks
the passing of one of the most famous
figures of the national game.
Hurst's pugnacious disposition was
eventually the cause of his undoing,
as he was discharged from the Ameri-
can League staff of umpires in 1909
for splitting in the face of Eddie Col
Inns and spiking him on the foot at
Shibe Park for protesting a decision
in a manner that was not pleasing
tc Hurst. The famous official re-
GREETED this act, as he realized that
Collins is one of the cleanest players
in the game. He would not apologize
10 save his position. but as soon as
he was discharged he went TO Collins
and offered an apology, which was
accepted. II was typical Of Hurst
who was always defiant of both play
ers and league officials. Hurst would
rather lose a position than admit he
was wrong, but would willingly ad-
NIT his mistake a short time after
Hurst was born at Ashland. Pa,
on June 30. 1865.
