Just a. the New York baseball
writers were proclaiming Charlie Mullen
a great second baseman, Bill Donovan
switched the Seattle wonder 70 the out
field and sent Lee Magee 10 second base.
Then the writer's switched around 70
, Magee and admitted he was something
of a kevstoner
But Bill again crossed them by taking
Mullen entirely out Of the game, put
ting Joe Gedeon at second and sending
Aiagoe back 10 the outfeld But the
writers were game. They wondered
with Donovan why Gedeon ever had
been taken out Of the game He was
a regular little wonder OF a second
baser, yessir And they smilingly ac-
cepted Gedeon with open arms and told
the public il iust had TO happen that
way.
But BIZ wasn't through. About that
time Fritz Maisel got over an injury
and was sent to third base. Then frank
Baker also recovered and was sent 10
third base, but the scribes opined Alaisel
would never consent to be a second base
man, even if Donovan did want it that
way, so they relegated Fritz TO the out
field and Baker was firmly planted on
tine third sack
Then it happened; The first box score
after Baker got in the game showed
Gedeon again on the bench, with Maisel
doing duty at second and BalSer al
third. Anyway, they guessed Baker
right.

who goes in TO the big leagues is

is anything in following an effectiv,

effectiveness, the young pitcher IS
gaining nothing by taking his time

The publishers, he said, are ex-

that they cannot get sufficient paper
to continue in business.

said, has recently held conference
with paper mill operators regarding
an increased supply of paper through

is almost impossible to get a quotation
from more than one mill and then not

Many Papers Must Suspend
Many papers are losing all profits,
he said; a number must go out OF
business; they have little relief in sight
and are extremely worried over The
situation.

Investigated the subject OF importation

Mr.. Glass said they had not investi-
gated. but recognized that this matter
was a serious consideration in the in
creased cost of paper. Commissioners
Hurley said the commission was work
ing on this subject now. In response
to a question from Commissioner Hur-
ley, Mr.. Glass said his association will
be glad to confer with the federal trade
commission, as it gets information
during it's independent investigation.
Dodge said its factories are turning
out print paper as fast as possible. He
criticised the present legislation as
grossly unjust to the paper mills of
the country.
He warned that unless conditions
as now exist are improved as regards
news print paper mills, the manufac-
turers cannot get back a reasonable
return on money invested and that the
entire industry will move into Can
