ably yesterday Gardner and Ma or

for St Louis. Il may have something

when asked whether he and Gardner
were nearer an agreement.
Il will buy the ST. Louis club II the
Price Is right" Gardner said, reiterating
his statement of week ago.
GardDer added he would bid for the
Cardinals at a public auction on Feb
ruary .. but in the meantime II looks as
though he will close the deal before then
with the stock company which owns the
franchise.
Hickey. however. has not the power to
close with Gardner but is now acting as
the agent for j. e. Jones, the biggest
stakeholder in the club.

3 C0RNERED TRADE
GIVES BOSTON SHADE
Red Sox Benefit by Acquisi-
ton Of Witt Of Detroit and
Dumont of Washington.

Many big deals were expected at the
baseball conferences last week, but on
the whole the club owners were too busy
talking politics TO do much trading Tho
owners Of the Boston, Washington and
Detroit Americans were the only men
who found time to put over real big
trade. one which will seriously affect the
fortunes of various players as well as
their clubs.
Clark Griffith OF Washington gets an
infelder he long has been sweet on,
Harold Janvrn. who was lnfielder OF
the Red Sox off and on eyer since 1871.
John McCiraw saw him playing third
base for the Jersey City Shelters IN
1912. when Boston EARNED him TO the
Jersey club. and then remarked Janvrin
was the beet looking iniielder McGraw
ever looked at. Hal has played some
great baseball in Boston. but never has
ben able TO win a regular Job He is
Boston boy. He was only 10 when he
first came to the Sox.
BY the deal Eddie Ainsmth, The
Washington catcher, goes TO Detroit This
phase of the deal Is most interesting as
1t takes away Grltiith's only experienced
catcher, and will make II necessary for
the great Walter Johnson to pitch TO
Pictnich. youngSer who came to Gr!t-
nth last season.
By giving up Oscar Wit. its star third
baseman. Detroit also gets from Bos-
ton Outfielder Chick Shorten. very
clever young player. and Slim Love, the
former Yank pitcher. Love should be at
home with Hugh Jennings congress of
wild pitchers
Witt should AL In nicely with the Red
Sox. He Is a remarkable fielder. and
will Ill the job Larry Gardner left va
cant in 1917. and which never was efil-
GENTLY filled last year George Dumont
who shifts from Washington TO Boston
in the deal. Is a lad OF considerable
promise, though he has the reputation
of being six inning pitcher. He goes
like a house on Are for that period. but
blows in the closing innings. Boston
has slight shade on Its rival clubs n

Baseball Again Suffers
From Picayune Politics
Retention of Three Man Commission and Severance of
Relations Between Minors and Majors Features
Week of Squabbling and Bickering

joint conferences. II had been hoped
that the club owners would recognize the
general demand for fresh deal in
baseball, bury their differences and de-
eide on some strong constructive policy
for the game. The agitation for better.
healthier conditions in baseball was
genuine and was backed by the solid
fan element in the country.
A strong one man commissioner who
could have kept out of petty squabbles
would have been a great asset. Had
baseball been able to get former Presl-
dent Taft as an arbitrator In exceptional
cases IT, would have given the game
the prestige OF his name.
The minor league situation also is left
IN nasty muddle by the abrogation
of tho minor leagues. While both the
minors and majors say they can get
along in peace. the open break Is there.
II is much like the state of affairs when
tho United States broke off diplomatic
relations with Germany. Every ono
realized the break sooner or later would
lead to a state OF actual hostilitiee.
The business Of the minors and ma
jors Is 80 closely bound together that
each body needs the other. Certain
cities may get additional prestige as a
result of doing away with tho draft. but
1t will hurt the smaller leagues. They
will need their draft money Before big
league clubs buy players now they will
be pretty certain the man they purchase
will stick
Joe Ttnkcr's Boast.
The abrogation of the national agree
ment makes the status Of the three
largest minor leagues, the International.
American Association and Pacific Coast
League, practically on n par with the
major leagues. Most of the leading club
owners OF these leagues make no bones
of it that they are through selling players
and say henceforth they will develop
their players for themselves, not for the
big leagues.
Is 1t fair. however. to keep n player

Never Hurt Him.

One cannot help but comment that tho
Cincinnati man ia pretty thick skinned.
The fact that he was scheming to keep
his Job against the wishes Of his own
league and that he WAS playing politics
against his own league president did
not seem To- ruttie him a bit 80 long rs
he held on To the chlirmauship.
No National League man believed
that hermann would continue to cling
to the Job after ho was repudiated In
open session last Wednesday. Before the
December meeting the National League
at n caucus decided TO do away with
Hermann. but it did not realize how
tough Il would he. Hermann did not
take the hint he held on.
At last Wednesdays meeting the
leag que reiterated it's position on COM
mission chairman. declaring again that
il favored Il man for chairman who had
no baseball affiliations. Again Herr
mann refused to act and permitted John
son TO fight for him Mt Thursdays Joint
conference,
One also cannot approve the action OF
the New York Giants IN throwing over
board all of Hemrstead's former policies
and combining with the American League
'nr tho retention of Hermann. Hemp
stead was the hardest worker in the Ma
tlonal League for the reform OF the pres
ent method of baseball government and
knew that baseball had outgrown the old
form selected when the National and
American leagues nade peace In 1908.

A Cold Reception.

The reform element in the National
League, however. was guilty OF It's share
" politics. There was real consterna-
ton In the league when Stonehan, Nc
Draw and ,AIcQuade bought tho club. The
welcome for tho new owners WAS hardly
what might be termed n rous!ng recep-
zion.
The new owners Of the Giants held
open house Mt the Waldorf on the day
they bought tho club. hut Hermann
and Ebbets alone dropped in for So
clai call. The others We're in session
finding out what they could do about
the sale. Messrs. Stoneham. NcGraw
and McQuade noted the conspicuous alb
scnce Of National League club owners
AT their party.
Tho next day. IN an effort to hold
the new Giant owners In check. the Ma
tional League drew up its foolish salary
limit and transacted other restrictive
legislation which the new Giant owners
fought tooth and nail. The result was
that these men retaliated by voting
against the National League and with
the American League majority for Herr
mann at the Joint conference.
Mc(iraw also had an axe to grind
He has had little affection for many of
the men in the National League since
the population case Of 1916, when he
was forced TO sign n most humilating
retraction drawn up by Branch Hickey
and pushed especially hy Baker. McGraw
and Hermann had long conference
last Monday night, and then Il was pre-
dicted that New York would line up for
the Cincinnati man. Had Hampstead
retained the club four days longer Herr
mann would have been swept out Of
power.
Real lovers Of baseball. however, can
not help but regret that the reform
movement collapsed the way II did, The
action OF Hermann ana johnson on
many occasions has put the game in an
untnyiahle light. Flow players can have
any respect for the members q, the
commission after such scenes as We're
enacted at the 1915 worlds series games

Housewives need no longer fear
that the green goods, fruit, meats and

these dealers that their goods were
not properly screened, and requested
their cooperation in the State and

You Can Have Fresh
Coffee With Dinner
--Or Afterwards

Some folks prefer coffee served with
dinner-others like it later. And so
making and serving coffee becomes a
nuisance-unless. of course. you use
Hires Instant Soluble Coffee was
originally made for our boys in
France. They had to have good cof-
ee-bu they had no way to make il.
And so completely did Hires Instant
Soluble Coffee meet this need, that
we were given the government con-
tract to supply &c 2-3 per cen of the
could not supply more because our
facilities would not permit.
Hires Instant Soluble Coffee is not a
substitute for coffee; it is the dried
juice of the most carefully selected
Java and Mocha coffee beans. In con-
verting the coffee into soluble form
all of the original properties of the
Juice have been retained. 1t is much
more convenient-thats all.
All you need do is to add hot water
to a part of a spoonful of Hires In
slant Soluble Coffee. II dissolves in
stantlyi Or if you like iced coffee,
Hires Instant Soluble Coffee dissolves
instantly in ice water.
Think of the saving in time and eff
fort! Think of the waste eliminated.
You don't throw away two o. three
cups of coffee left in the pot.
And because Hires Instant Soluble
Coffee is so easy, so convenient to
make, you car have a clear. fragrant
cup any hour of the day or night.
A small can of Hires Instant Soluble
Coffee is equivalent to a pound Of the
best Mocha and Java coffee. The low
price is due to the fact that with our
exclusive process we extract 100 per
cent. more juice from the bean than
YOU can in making coffee in the old
way. Get il at all stores.
