In statement issued last week, John
Barrett, director general of the Pan
American Union, who has recently re-
turned from special trip to England
and France to- study the European
viewpoint of the influence of the war
upon Pan American commerce, gives
a summary of the report which he has
prepared. While abroad he conferred
with leading officials and representa-
tive financiers and manufacturers con-
nected with foreign trade. being at
forded every facility in his investiga-
lions by both government and private
interests. BY invitation of the British
and French authorities he also spent a
week at the battlefront in France, from
Verdun to the Somme. The report also
reaches the following conclusions of
concern to the commercial and finan-
cial interests of the United States and
Latin America.
l. Not a government official, banker
or general business man, or any armv
oHcer, would express a positive opin-
ION as to the duration or end of the
war, except that the majority plainly
believed that 1t would last we'll into
1918 or even longer
2. A most powerful semi-official or
ganization and movement has been
quietly but effectively started in both
England and France. not only tn n,.ko
now an extraordinary effort to main
TAIN their present trade with the Amer
,cas ana regain what may have been
iost curing the first two years Of the
war. but to prepare ahead for a greater
enort after the war in building up this
trace than they ever made before.
5. Under conditions which amount IN
encouragement and almost to aetna,
government aid. large variety of in
oustries heretofore little developed. and
nence figuring slightly in the foreign
traoe or these countries, is being rapid

prominent part in their future COM
merce and in competition with the
United states and other countries.
4. A vast practical army Of very
skilled but reasonably paid labor Il
being trained and developed all over
Great Britain and France in the form
OF women workers, who will increase
immensely the efficiency of manufac-
ture and the volume Of output Of for
eign commerce despite the loss Of male
and skilled labor resulting from the
war. %

airy financial burdens Of the war. the
British and French financial and COM

piaanly injurious effect upon their
foreign commerce of their present
withdrawal from financing government
loans and private undertakings In Lat

1t is seen at once that there is no
significant different between any Of
these yields. The average yield Of the
plots on land without potash in 1915 is
exactly the same as the yield on land
with per cent potash in 1915. The
application Of potash the year before.
therefore, did not affect the yield Of
oats. Furthermore, in each series the
yield Of the plots without potash in
1916 is as high as that of the plots with
Z per cent potash. Some Of the inter-
mediate plots show slightly decreased
yields but in no case Is the difference
great enough to be significant.
So far as the results of a single year
are concerned it would appear that on
Aroostook soil potash is not limiting
factor in the production of oats. How
ever, too much reliance cannot be
placed on single years results. 1t Is
quite possible that under different sea-
sonal conditions and on different soil
quite different results would be Sc
cured,

Burleigh Grimes, the star pitcher of
the Barons, made his final appearance
in Baron uniform yesterday after
noon when he pitched and won the first
game of the scheduled double header
Burleigh will leave today at noon for
Chicago, where he will report tomorrow
afternoon to Manager Callahan of the
Pittsburg Pirates.
Burleigh will gain a trial in the big
show this campaign. The star of the
Baron staff goes to the Pirates with
record that few minor leaguers that
advance can boast of. Burleigh has lost
but three games out of is last Is bat
ties, which increased his pitching
average from slightly above the 400
mark to almost the 700 mark.
Grimes ranks with about five other
pitcers as having the best average in
the league. Burleigh is, without doubt,
the best pitcher that the Southern
league produced this season. He didn't
get started until late. but once the
speed king did get break of luck

ADMISSION PREDS'
HARD SCHEDULE

Admission, September S-(Special)
Friends of the Alabama Presbyterian
college are much enthused over the ath-
letic prospects of the Preds for the COM
ing year, as great confidence in the abil-
ity of Teddy Sparkman, the Preds' coach,
is felt, not only by the students but by
the faculty as well, because of his records
with other teams he has handled since
leaving Auburn. He is expected to ar
rive sometime this week and practice Will
begin at the college athletic field on
his arrival.
The Preds will furnish Sparkman good
material to work on. Several old men
from last year will return, which will in
sure some good work, while there are
many new men, who will be prominent
in the seasons work. Games have been
secured with Howard, Greensboro, Ma
rion Brownsville Sylacauga and At
ITALIA Most of the games will be played
in Admission this year, SO as to give the
advantage of playing on their home
grounds. f9
In Prof. M. M. Knox the college has
one of the best wrestlers in the south.
He is graduate of Davidson college
where he made great record and has
taken part successfully in several tourna-
ments since leaving college. He will
instruct the students in this art.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-09-09

ments to start with. He was determined
not to please the Barons and he didn't.
The two teams will probably play to less
than hundred people in Atlanta today,
whereas as If they were here. not less
than 1900 would witness the game. Both
teams will lose money on the game, while
had the game been played here it would
have been money making proposition.
ANOTHER CHILDISH TRICK
1t was just another one of Charley
Franks childish tricks that he has been
uncovering in the league all the season.
The Dutchman hates to be defeated. His
stubbornness outdoes his craftsmanship.
The Barons left late last night for the
Crackers home fort, where they will play
but one game this afternoon Only 10 men
were taken by Eddie Mcdonald, who will
be manager on the brief trip Key Perry
man will be the lone pitcher to make the
trip, while both catchers and the remain
ing team will go as usual. Moley will re-
main in. town and wind up his business
affairs prior to leaving Birmingham on
Monday.
Provided Preacher Perryman is knocked
out, Jimmy Eschen will pitch. No doubt
the game will be a farcical affair with
players swapping positions throughout the
game.
The Barons will disband in Atlanta after
the game today. The majority of the
players will leave Immediately for their
homes to spend the winter, while few
will return to birmingham for few
days prior to departing for their homes
elsewhere.
Redwood park will now be dark until
football begins, the first game being
scheduled on October between Howard
college and Auburn Numerous gridtron
battles will follow and then the historic
old battlefield will be closed until the
opening of the 1917 baseball season.

look the Baron star over. The Pirates
bid the highest and consequently Bur
leigh was sold to the Barney Dreyfuss
club for an exchange of players.
Burleigh paid visit to all his
friends after the game yesterday, re-
ceiving best wishes and little bit
of everything else that accompanies a
minor Lacquer to the majors. The fans,
some $500 in number, gave Burleigh
a cordial reception as he left the box
after he had won the first game and
the Baron star responded by politely
doffing his cap and bowling his head
The fans showed their appreciation of
his valuable services during the past
season and the act tickled Burleigh to
death
Grimes is the most finished Southern
Lacquer ever sent to the big show.
He's got plenty of stuff, fields his posi-
ton excellently and above all is not
afraid of work. Burleigh is almost GER
tain to make good. He has the good
wish of every Birmingham fan and eyes
of the local fandom will be switched to
the Pirates to watch the progress of the
pitching that helped lift the Barons
to the position they hold in the league
standing today. F. B.

Southern League Season Ends Today SP(
BARoNs CINCH THIRD PLACE

Yesterdays victory, which was
: the sixth straight for the Barons,
cinched third place for the Moleys.
Provided the Barons lose todays
game and the Travellers win, the
Barons would be one point ahead of
the Starrlings. The Barons are bur
one game behind the Pelicans and
double defeat to the Dobbers with
win or tie for the Barons would
alone advance the Moleys to second
place. The Travellers are sure of
winding up in fourth place while
the Crackers, Chicks, Lookouts and
Gulls will wind up in the order
named. Thus, the fight for the
Southern league berths is COM
pleted with the exception Of the
Barons and Pelican and it will be
terminated by the closing of the
season today.

Every effort was made to induce
Frank to transfer the game scheduled
for Atlanta today to Fleetwood park,
but the Dutchman had a deaf ear to
the pleas of the Birmingham officials.
Was there any Importance attached to
the game, the local officials would no.
have asked Frank to play the game here
today in place of Atlanta. The Dutch
man has not single reason whereby he
could offer as his excuse for not trans
ferring other than it was scheduled for
the Cracker park.
THE DUTCHMAN TALKS
NO I'll not transfer that game to Biz
mingham," was Franks reply after yes
terdays game. THAT game is scheduled
for Atlanta and that's where it will be
played if it is played at all. Why should
1 transfer the game here, just to please
you fellows, l suppose? Well, I'll not
do it,
That's what the chubby Dutchman had
to say regarding the transfer of the
game It's some reason he's got. Frank
is sore because the Barons beat him three
straight and finished ahead of him in the
league standing. Even should the Crack
ers win todays game in Atlanta, they
cannot pass the Barons or better their
standing in the league.
The Barons offered Frank chance to
win back third place. A double bill was
offered the Dutchman If he would stay
here and play, but he knew his team
didn't have a chance with the Barons.
The Moleys are the better team and he
knew it as we'll as everybody else who
attended the games at Fleetwood during
the past series.
