Gillespie Had
Hard Time In
Getting In Park


Jock Gillespie. the infielder turned
back to the Giants by the Bing-
hamton club of the International
league and now released to the
Sioux City club Of the Western
league, is one Of the smallest play
ers in the game, standing only five
feet, one inch and weighing only
III pounds. The first time the
B~inghamton club went to Toronto
this year, Jock was halted by James
Mccartney, president Of the Leafs,
as he started through the players
gate in the Toronto park.
Hey, kid" said McCaffrey,
where are you goingY"
why, I'm one Of the Binghamton
players replied Jock.
Get out of here" was the re-
tort. Don't try to pull that stuff
on me-"
It finally was necessary for Gill;
lespie to send for Frank Schultz,
then manager OF the Binghamton
club, to identify him before he could
gain admittance. When Jack donned
his uniform, he returned to the
gate and standing before McCaf-
frey, said: Nov, look me over
carefully SOS you'll know me when
you see me again."

In framing the oil law initiative, sent
by President Carranza to congress last
November for developing Article 81 Of
the constitution, Mr., Schiaffino said
his department a impelled by the
highest motives and sought to protect

Collapse of Anarchist Govern
ment May Follow Evacuation
of Petrograd.
HOPEFUL SIGNS ARISE
Rcd Regime in Hungary Is Reported
on Verge of Falling and Has
Sued for Peace With Rou-
mania.

Washington, May 2.-In the opinion
of observers here, evacuation OF PetrO-
grad, reported IN dispatches from
Helsingfors, may be the initial break
in the structure erected by the radical
leaders, which, if recent Developments
continue their normal course, would
lead to the complete disintegration of
the Bolshevik government in Russia.
This belief was strengthened by dis
patches telling of the indicated COL
lapse of the Hungarian soviet, which,
it is said. has sued for peace with
Roumania
Allied successes in the Archangel
and Murmansk sectors, are expected
by officials to have material influence,
especially when taken in conjunction
with the forward movement of Gzechs,
Esthonian and loyal Russian forces on
separated sectors.
Analysis of the military map Of Rus
STA, maintained here for the NORMA
ton of the general staff, shows that q
gradual encircling of the center of
Bolshevism has been under way for
months. Although there is nothing to
indicate a common plan Of action be-
tween the various elements opposed to
the Red government. the effect has
been to throw q wall OF anti-BoEshevik
forces around central Russia, narrow
Ing the territory held by the soviet to-
comparatively small proportion Of
the area they had occupied.

have been striking west in tho general
direction of Moscow. and now hold
general line through GlatzOv, Sarapul
and Kinel, 40 miles from Samara, to
Orenburg, on the Ural river. while due
north of Moscow the Allied Areha1gel
front runs south to VolOgda and then
west to the Gulf OF Omega, where it
connects substantially with the Muir.
mansk coast sector.
The String" here is taken up in ef-
feet by the Finnish revOlutionaries,
who hold the line down to the 0uK of
Finland. The Czecho-Slovak armies
are actively engaged on a front which
stretches from the Gulf of Margrav to
Pshov, thence to the Gulf Of Narva.
Attention of the Bolshevik leaders
is held to the west by the energetic
Polish forces and, strangely enough.
by German Republican forces, und to,
the south by the Roumanians and
French.

ment by him on the possible price OF
wheat had been misinterpreted. He
had said that in view Of the demands
of the world for food, the removal OF
price control with regard to wheat,
sugar, pork products and cottonseed
products would be dangerous to the
American consumer. The control OF
the pork was removed, and. Mr.. Hoo
yer said, had proved to be disad-
vantage to the consumer.
Mr.. Hoover said he wished to en-
phasize that the control Of the price
of wheat would be maintained to The

that the American consumer need not
be alarmed that there will be mate
rial rise in the price Of that food e.
sential. America could sell more
wheat than she has. but the exports
are being regulated to reserve sufn-
cheney for domestic needs.
The American army stocks of pork
products in France. more than 10000,
600 pounds, had been purchased by
the relief council and should furnish

countries, and as a result there is no
question that the entire American
surplus will be absorbed.
1--WE are at the worst phase OF the
European famine that was inevitable
after the world war;" Mr.. Hoover
said.
The economic food council is on top

distribution is organized to supply the

The United States will supply TO
Europe foodstuffs valued roughly at
$500, 100000. Enemy countries and
neutrals will pay cash for what they
receive.
The relief authorities are doing
their best to control the effect Of the
large demands on the American mar
