thus eventually winning an extra IN
ming ball game for the Printers
against the Wholesalers 81 and send
ing The Prints into a tie with the
Mining Machinery for second place
in the league race. At the end OF the
seventh stanza, which Is the regula-
lion end Of a twilight game the score
stood al IL, and It was not until the
ninth that the Prints were able to plt
across the winning marker. Both
teams had registered five hits In
seven innings and Parker and Har-
old we're pitching good ball. In the
ninth. Harold was reached for Two
bingles and the Wholesalers lost the
contest. Both teams had chances to
win before the final chapter, but
rather stupid work on the bases
thwarted these opportunities: /,
Frank Parker twirled another good
game for the Prints, allowing five
hits scattered through as many In
ninss, while Harold was but slightly
behind the star printer in pitching
ability. One Of the big features Of
the game was a play contributed by
fthe well known Mr.. Sandy Tooth
man, who is field leader Of the
Prints. He stopped a terrific smash
near first base, ran to the bag and
would have retired the runner. save for
the fact that he forgot 10 pick up
The ball and take 1t along with him
10 the bag. The oversight was MOTTO
cd TOO late to be remedied and Sandy
got an error and a big laugh from the
crowd.
Both sides took the count In order
in the opening round. and the Prints
did the same thing in the second.

Here is a little ditty,
Might call it just a gem
The words that 90 10 make it up.
Its title-Ask Bill Klein?

For Luqueing Luke McLuke,
They dittoed the Cubanola
For Furnishing his duke.

And when poor Bill is calm 'em

Filming a ball player is as common
as dust on the parlor furniture but
sticking the assessment on a big
league umpire has new Jingle all
its own.
An umpire's word has been gospel
for so long that the case OF Luque
and Hem will add new chapter to
the baseball bible.
The umpire ought to be just as
much Of a gentleman as a player and
shouldn't be overlooked in case ne
isn't.
Luoue admits he is a Cuban ana
that he is a pitcher for the Redlags,
but he is certain he doesn't measure
down to some Of the things KEN
suggested.
A. that The Cuban is no mean hit
ter and he shows the Red spirit
The Redlegs are still the cream o. o.

The observer gets this comfort out
Of the situation: II Zbyszko defeats
Plestina (which is far from unlikely
It will leave a victor whom the Curley
troupe cannot have an excuse for
avoiding. One can foresee a real Set
tiement Of this argument Of the heavy
weight wrestlers, and there's solace in
that.

SlLkS-Jobbers Cit
Prices for Cash Sales

Continued reductions in prices by
small Jobbers are causing much appre-
henslon among the large silk producers
although the jobbers arc selling goods
fo1 SPOT delivery above the prices that
manufacturers are getting for goods
they are delivering now on orders
placed months ago, the producers fear
that the heavy liquidation by iobbers
Will give garment manufacturers and
retailers, the two largest classes of
silii users, an opportunity to anticipate
their requirements for some time to
come, and thus delay the selling of fall
silks
Retailers who are picking up odd
lots from the jobbers now say they will
put some Of these silks away for fall
use, unless an unexpected consumer de-
mand forces them to sell before that
time.
Some of the cuts made by jobbcrs
run as deep as 25 per cent. Since the
iobbers arc pressed 9or ready money,
they cannot sell on credit Also, the
bank rates for discounting trade ac-
ceptances are too high now to transact
business in this manner. What the lob
bers need is actual cash, and IN mary
cases they are making price sacrifices
srfflclent to encourage the buyer to lay
out money on the spot.

COTTONS-Lafin American
Orders Bolster Market

Large purchases Of cotton goods by
South and Central American countries
within the last week, have acted as
countcrbalancc to some Of the bear.
ism influences felt in the market With
exports to Europe cut off by the ad
verse exchange, and an apprcciablc
slowing up in the domestic market. the
renewed activity of the South and Cen
traI Americans has come as relief
to American cotton goods manufacture
tcrs. In addition to Argentina Colon
bla and Cuba, which countries have
been factors in our export market for
some time. the Chilcans have become
active buyers lately and are taking
large quantities of all varieties OF
American made goods.
Regarding the European situation
some of the leading mill men and sell
ing agents are inclined to the opinion
that any curtailment Of buying from
that quarter cannot last long. They
argue that there is big demand fol
goods IN all European markets and
that the United States is almost the
sole source of supply now.

JEWELRY-Shortage OF
Enlif0fiOn Pearl Necklaces

Retail jewelers. report marked
shortage of imitation pearl necklaces
which sell at retail from $40 to 500.
The greater part OF these necklaces
arc imported from France, but recent
~ Japan has been sending large
quantities to this country The
Japanese necklaces, however, are not
as popular as those coming from
France and dealers are buying con-
servativelv. Diamonds continue to be
scarce and high in price, being sold at
retail from $500 to $1,000 carat.
Manufacturers OF beaded bags
stated yesterday that buyers are IN
the market later than usual this season,
owing to the fact that tney did not
care to place any orders until they had
disposed of the very large fall and
winter stocks on hand and for that
reason waited until after inventory
taking. These concerns are showing
a great many fabric BAGS Moire silk

line and arc shown with beaded frames
and beaded appliques, in the form Of
cones or circles. Steel and jet en-
broideries also are in good demand
and manufacturers arc receiving many
orders for those lines.
Reports current in the trade that
the bead industry Of Europe will be
suspended shortly because of the
scarcity of labor and the unfavorably
low rate Of exchange we're emphatically y
denied yesterday by several large i'm
pcrters. According to these dealers
the bead industry has been more
ficurishing sincethe signing Of the
armlsticc and shipments arc reaching
TINS country in ever-increasins
quantities.
"The .rumor Of an unexpected sus-
pension Of the bead industry in the
Central European countries has caused
no little agitation in the trade" Richard
II. Leslie, of the American Bead Com
pany said yesterday, "but it is abso-
lute!y unfounded The fact that our
firm alone is receiving more than 900
cases of beads and kindred articles
from Czecho- -Slovakia, Italy, Germany,
and other countries testfies that the
production is in no way impaired. On
the contrary, 1t is in a splendid con-
dltion, owing to the strong American
ana French demands"

LEATHER-Shoe Retailers
Hold Clearance Sales

Shoe merchants in and around New
YORK arc making an earnest effort to
clean house, making room for the
spring stocks which are scheduled to
arrive in the near future. and clear
ahcc sales are now IN progress in all
parts OF the city. Many of these deal
ers are so ovcrstocked with all kinds
of shoes that they are offering them
at the lowest prices quoted in over a
year Orders that were placed last
April by the retailers with the manu-
tacturers are only being delivered
row, and the retailers rather than
hold these late stocks over until the
fall and winter Of 1920 arc offering
them to the public at even lower than
replacement values
Retailers who went in very deeply
on combinations. colors, "freaks," etc,
have regretted their action and a re try
ing to cancel AS many of their orders
on these styles as possible. Blacks
and browns are holding up fairly we'll,
but the stores are overcrowded with
grays, ticdmouse, etc. Suedes are
going better than had been expected,
and promise a good demand this
spring. One retailer reports some
early orders from the South for suede
pumps, as we'll as blacks and tans.
Pumps arc outsellng boots by large
margin.
While many spring shoes have al
ready been delivered. the bulk of sup
plies for the next season will be forth
coming during the next few weeks.
Dealers had q bitter lesson last year,
and many were hampered considerably
for the reason that large part of the
merchandise which they ordered for
last spring did not arrive until sum-
mer. This time they specified de-
liveries considerably earlier than those
Of last year and manufacture are
living up to their promises.
With q lage number of spring orders
on hand manufacturers are making
strenuous efforts to keep uD produc-
ton and deliveries. A hea"v Easter
business in pumps is predicted. Lower
heels arc in demand and the conserva-
tive models arc in good call. Whole
ss.lers are anxious Cor early deliveries
