IRA THOMAS BOSS
OF ATLANTA CLUB
Former Mack Catcher Center
of Storm in Southern
League; Still As Scout
DETORE IS OUT AGAIN
BY EDWIN j. POLLOCK

IRA THOMAS is a manager today.
but tomorrow is another day. and
Ira may or may not be a manager At
present Ira is the most discussed man
connected with baseball in the South.
Not long ago the former Mack catcher
was appointed acting manager Of the
Atlanta Club of the Southern League
by Charley Frank, who. heretofore. has
been bossing the Crackers. President
Logan, of the Mobile Club. has pro-
tested Ira on the ground that he is
violating baseball law by accepting a
salary from Connie Mack as scout of
the AS as well as receiving compensa
. tion from the Atlanta club.
Trouble between Mobile and Atlanta
has been brewing for some time and the
players have become so imbued that
every time the clubs meet there is near
free for all. President Logan has taken
the matter so seriously that he has called
conference of the board of directors
in an effort to have Thomas and Frank
expelled from the league.
Thomas comes back with the same ar
gument against Logan. The veteran
maskman states that Logan is not only
receiving salary from the Mobile or
ganization, but is being paid by Armour
& Co.
This is Ira s first fling in a managerial
role and so far it has been a lively one
and none too pleasant. Since putting
his mask and chest protector aside Ira
has secuted for Mack besides coaching
the Williams College nine.
Josh Devore Fired Again
. TOSH DEVORE is out of job again.
q The comedian outfielder has been
given the go-way by Jack Hendricks.
who is managing the Indianapolis Club
of the American Association. Josh was
granted his unconditional release.
Josh was one of the rarest charac-
ters in baseball His quick wit. his
luck. both good and bad, and his &C.
centricities made him one of the most
popular men around the National League
circuit.
Devore had, a lot of good fortune
He is reputed to have shared in more
worlds serie5s money than anyI other
player in the game. Even after his
long stay with the Giants he broke into
the fall classics.
In 1914 he was with the Phils and
was traded to the Braves in time for
the championship series and in 1913 he
came back to the Phils in the year that
the only National League pennant came
to this city.
After Josh drifted out of the majors
he was signed by Kansas City and then
released. For time before he went
with Indianapolis he was driving milk
wagon in the West. It's back to the
early morning route for Josh now.
Ed Walsh Retires
DESIDES Devore. another famous
- big Lacquer has passed out OF the
game. Ed Walsh. who became famous
as a spitball artist with the White Sox.
has announced his retirement. Ed has
been pitching for Clarence Rowland with
the Milwaukee Club of the American
Association.
In handing his resignation to Row
land Walsh stated as his reason for
retiring the fact that spitbals are
no longer permitted in the circuit.

FARMERS ARE BUSY

Fewer men than usual were In the
city last Saturday for the very good
reason that they were too hasy in
their fields to bother about anything
else. The weather is the finest posi-
BILE for all kinds of farm operations,
they say, and they are making every
hour count,
Already there are thousands OF
acres of corn planted, and the acre
age in pats is somewhat larger than
usual, it is believed. The recent
frosts have done no damage to the
oats, except, perhaps, here n there
in small patches.
On the whole the fruit has also es-
capped serious harm, except again in
isolated instances. There is promise
of an enormous crop in the county OF
every kind of fruit-which will help
out some, as Co. Commissioner John
Albert Maxwell said Saturday. Mir.
Maxwell referred to the smudge pots
used by a Florida fruit growers TO
save their crops from damage, but
doubted il such a plan would work
we'll here.
"The wind is nearly always from
one direction in Florida" said the
genial commissioner, but here it
veeFs around and I do not think it
would work"

Farm and Labor Representatives In
Conference to Bring Down
High Cost of Living In
America.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-"Cut out the
middle man"
This was the slogan for war on high
cost of living declared today by the
Joint conference of farm organizations
and labor representatives here.
The conference was called by Her
bert F. Baker, president of the
Farmers National council and Dalton
r. Clarke, president of the National
Co-operative association, to line up
labor and the farmer behind the big
reconstruction program of legislation
to be placed before congress.
Measures which labor and farm or
CARNATIONS propose to arrange Joint
support and action to bring down nigh
prices include:
Legislation to control the packer
monopoly; new railroad bill to pro-
vide for two year extension OF fed
eral control of rail lines to avoid the
threatened freight rate increase and
action on public ownrr-
ship proposals.

to rule in Wall street for a number Of
weeks the stock market today retrac-
ed still further the ground recently
lost.
The call loan renewal rate this
morning was eight per cent compared
with ten per cent yesterday. Later
in the day the call rate dropped to
six per cent The buying which went
on today was very cautious. General
Motors climbed above 339, up IA
points or SO on the day and UP nearly
sixty points from the low figure re-
corded on the break. Crucible got UP
around 21O and Mexican Petroleum
moved up above 20S. United States
Steel held close to los throughout the
trading and other steel shares were
steady. At their best prices such is"
sues as International Paper, Stude-
baker, American Car and Foundry,
Baldwin, Pierce-Arrow and Industrial
Alcohol reflected gains of 2 to 4
points.
The strength of the sugar stocks
which all through the break in the
market last week held UP remarkably
well. was a feature of the trading.
The rails did very little.
The whole market eased OF in the
last hour under light selling and
good portion of the early gains were
cancelled.
