LAJOIE MAY AGAIN
De BIC Lacquer
BY H. c. HAMILTON

Omitted Press stan Correspondent.)
NEW YORK. Aug. 22-Nap Lajoie's
success as e manager in the Intarna-
tional league, and the recovery of his
batting eye are almost certain to drag
the veteran back into the big leagues.
Several clubs are known to have ap-
preached the baseball powers with a
view to getting Lajoie, and at least one
club has made him a tentative offer to
manage it next year Lajoie is satisfied
with his lot in Toronto. He is we'll
liked there. His team has been in the
pennant fight all the way. and the club
has been prosperous. Hence. he isn't
figuring very heavily on leaving. The
amount Of money offered him for his
work as a big Lacquer. however. is ex-
pected to have its effect. And there are
clubs who are ready to put up a big
price for the Frenchman's services.
Toronto is expected in baseball circles
TO lave an American league club before
many seasons pass. In fact, it is con-
hdently expected the transfer will be
made this winter. If Lajoie could be
given the managership of this aggrega-
ton. or even if he were given a berth
as a player he probably would be salts
fed It may come to pass that such an
arrangement could be made.

DUG FROM
MINE
WITH A PENCIL

Marvin Goodwin. the new pitcher
signed by Miller Higgins for the
Cardinals. is showing excellent form
and will probably remain with the
team. He pitched s~plendidly in his
game against the Giants recently.
The pitching staff Of the Phillies is
showing great form in the midsum-
mer drive and it has been due largely
to their efforts that the men Of Moran
gained ground on the Giants last week.
One Of the best players in the Ma
tional League this season is Billy
Kopf. youthful shortstop Of the Gin
cinnati Reds. Connie Mack tried out
this youngster two seasons g but
turned him back to the Baltimore
club OF the International League.
where he developed rapidly. His bril-
liant work has featured many a game
in which the Reds have been involved of
late.
One Of the mysteries of the season is
why did George Sailing and Hugo
Bezdek. managers respectively of the
Braves and Pirates. let Joe Wilhoit
go. He is batting .3o6 for the Giants
and appears to be every inch a real
player.
Ray Chapman. having fully recover

LABOR TO BE ENLISTED.
Prof. L. c. Marshall to Solve Employ
ment Problems.

ment Problems.
Washington, Dec. 1.-Preparations
for greater governmental aid in adjust
ing labor supply TO war needs were put
under way yesterday by the council OF
national defense with the appointment
OF L. c. Marshall, dean Of the school
Of commerce and administration Of the
University Of Chicago, as chief Of a
newly created section on industrial!
service.
The new section will undertake pre-
l!m!nary investigation Of the increas
ing number Of labor problems arising
n direct ratio to the growing demands
for war supplies. This inquiry, it is
announced, will have four main OBJ
jects:
l. To determine present and prob
able future demands for labor in war
INDUSTRIES
2. To determine in connection with
the priority committee of the war in
dustrtes board the relative priorties oil
the labor demand.
3. To arrange for sup plying the de-
mand thru the department OF labor OF
such other governmental or civilian
agencies as can best meet the demand.
4. To determine the needs for dilu:
ton Of labor, including the introduce
ton of women into industry, and to
recommend policies to be followed il.
regard thereto.
When the facts have been estab-
lished in the case Of labor shorta ge
handicapping any line Of industry the
council will look to representatives Of
the workers to supply available men
The section on industrial Irvice will
have functions comparable to the
duties Of the war industries board and
will bring TO the defense council d.
gested information from all govern
ment departments regarding labor
questions, but will not have power 10
take executive action.
Everything suggestive Of the coer-
cion or conscription Of labor apparent
~ Is being provided by the council. En-
plorment agencies Of the departme nt
of labor viii be utilized in obtaining
workers, but otherwise it is expected
that representatives of the works.
themselves will be relied on to recruit
the civilian army needed to back up
the fighting men.
The American Fedora ton Of Labor
has promised to cooperate and will
send officials here to confer with the
council. Semi official labor committees
attached to the council also will assist.
Except n the case Of shipyards and
railroads, IL is said, there mas been no
serious shortage Of workers as yet in
any Of the industries directly related
to military operations, but as the army
expands and with it the need for mini
tons and subsistence supplies 1t is
expected that many factories will need
hundreds Of additional men.
At the same time unemployment is
expected to result in other lines Of
work not essential to the conduct OF
the war and which will be forted to
curtail production by lack of materials
and less purchasing of nonessentials
by the public.
1t win be the task Of the section on
Industrial service, aided by union
officials, to adjust the need for men to
the men needing work. 80

Chicago. Dec. l.-Corn-A dull and
sagging market, especially in the near
by deliveries, was attributed in large
part to the positive results which the
food administration IS showing in the
securing Of empty cars and the prompt
placing of them at the disposal of wes-
tern grain shippers. Buyers Of cash
corn, encouraged by the prospect OF
larger receipts. are showing less anxi-
ETY. for supplies, and spot corn was
again to 10 cents lower. The weekly
weather forecast, while not entirely
favorable, indicates fair and colder
weather the latter part Of next week
over most of the surplus corn states.
Developments Of the week are more
favorable for lower prices.
Oats-While deliveries were not as
heavy as expected and weer promptly
stopped by one Of the leading bull
houses, there was an uneasy feeling on
the part Of holders, and the market
ranged lower. 4 sharp decline early
was checked by buying against bids,
and the market reacted TO about p
cent under last nights close. Country
elevator stocks are liberal and It is
also believed that seaboard exporters
have been good buyers on the recent
bulge. Larger receipts and a less ur-
gent demand are. therefore, indicated.
Stocks-Today's short session result
ed in a recovery OF much Of yester-
days decline. Stock experts say the
market displays no definite trend. but
are almost unanimous in commenting
on the firm undertone.
