Common Labor Needs
Reported Still Acute

Although the governments first
work or fight regulation has been in
effect for some time, Charles B. Barnes,
state superintendent of Labor Service
SAID yesterday that the shortage of
unsNlled or so-called common labor
still is acute. The trouble, Mr. Barnes
stated, is due largely TO the fact that
the Federal Labor Employment Service
in the State Of New York had not as
yet been completely organized, and
that laboring men themselves are not
familiar with just what to do in order
TO obey the work or night rules.
BY the end of the current week. ac-
cording to Mr. Barnes, the fourteen
community zones Of the Federal Labor
Bureau Will have been thoroughly or
ganized. systematic campaign will
be set under way to bring together the
Jobs that are seeking men and the men

Strong Men Are Not Likely

George Underestimate was a pretty
strong man and many are the tales

But the Russian lion was a weakling

man that when he went fishing for
whales he always used a three-inch
hawser for line and a 600-pound an
Choir for a hook. He'd bait his hook
with a couple of sheep. or maybe a

three times and send it sailing out

TRUISM ON BASEBALL GAME
Pitched Balls That Are Near Enough
to Be Called Strikes Are Good
Enough to Hit At.

Major league batsmen who made a
practice of heckling the umpires for
doubtful balls and strikes never found
any sympathy with Fred Clarke. The
exPirate leader once expressed a tru-
ism which should be drilled into every
boy who gets into the national pastime.
Wilbur Cooper brought out Clarke's
little line following an argument in
one of the games played by the Pirates
at Jacksonville. Several of the Pitts
burgh batters were complaining that
the umpire missed" some that were
an inch or two from the corner of the
plate.

not believe he was ready for the big
show and sent him back to the Toronto
club. That decision was one of the
mistakes McGraw has made in judg-
ing players, and he has regretted it
ever since, for in 1913 Rudolph was
traded to the Boston club, and what he
has done in the way of standing Ma
tional league batters on their heads
is too well known to repeat here.
Rudolph was holdOut this season
until late in May, when he finally came
to terms with the Braves and signed
his contract. In his first start of the
season he beat the Reds, letting Matty's
team down with one hit, and he proved
conclusively that he has lost none of
his cunning in the box.
Early in the spring he tried TO pur-
chase his release from the Braves for
$4,000, but could not put the deal over.
Manager Stallihgs knows well what he
is worth.
