REDS CUT ROBINS LEAD
Big Day for Western: Teams in Ma
tional League, Cubs Beating
Braves, Cards Downing Phils.

Western members of the National
League enjoyed their innings yesterday.
With the world champion Reds showing
the way by scoring over the league lead
ing Dodgers, the Cubs arose in all their
might and smote the Braves, while the
Cards went beyond the regulation num-
Der of innings to overhaul the Phillies.
BY their victory the Reds cut the
Dodgers lead to two games and evened
the series. Rain halted the Pirate
Giant contest.
Daubert's double, his third hit of the
game, followed by Roush's safe bunt and
Mamaux's wild throw in the ninth, gave
the champions the tally needed to down
the Dodgers, to 4.
Jim Vaughn did all that was neces-
sary to beat the Braves. He held the
opposition to six scattered hits and made
a homer in the third inning. The Cubs
punched hits for more tallies to make a
SO victory.
Sherdel of the Cards was another
pitching-batting hero He was steady
under the spasmodic fire of the PhilIies.
and in the twelfth inning paved the way
for his teams success by leading off
with d two-base blow. Smiths sacri-
fee and Fournier's single scored the
pitcher.

LACK OF SHIPS
HALTS IMPORTS
South American Meats Not
Coming Because of No
Vessels.

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. eff the Ameri-
can meat consumer, worrying Over his
mounting butcher bills, reads Of the
enormous gains in the South American
cattle industry, and then demands why
South American meat is not sent to
North America to lower the price at
home, he need take his quest no far
Their than those who control American
ship construction.
This is the opinion of leading Ameri-
can meat men In Buenos Aires. While
none will venture the assertion that Ar
gentine meat placed on the American
market would lower American meat
prices they do declare that there are
meat that would be available for North
American consumption If only refrigera-
tor ships were to be had.
In connection with this great ''if' the
head of the South American branch of
one of the greatest packing houses in
the United States frankly told the United
Press that he knows of no refrigerator
ship plying between the United States
and South American ports. And, he
added, Great Britain, as a matter of fact,
is constructing refrigerator vessels as
rapidly as she is able to do so.
Given an adequate number of refrtge-
rator ships South American meat pro-
ducers declare they can deliver meat at
any point in the world, the United States
not excluded, at a price that would leave
no fear Of local competition. However,
questioned as to the feasibility of COM
peting with American meat production
I'm the United States, no claims were
made that Argentine meat could be "laid
down" at American ports cheaper than

it was stated that Argentine, Uruguayan
and Brazilian meat could be delivered
just as cheapiy as the home product.
The long haul from South TO North
America, the greatest single cost factor
in the expectation of meat from the
southern to the northern continent is
somewhat Offset by the lower cost of
labor and production in South America
IN the three great cattle countries-Ars

and for ten months feed on green grass.
Head for head, the United States pro-
duces no better grade of beef
South American packers, as every one
else who has something to sell, are look
ing for the best market. But they can
not get their products to any market,
no matter how good, unless there IS
some way of carrying them.
OF course, it is obvious the produc-
ton of hides moves at a pace no greater
than that Of meat production. If the
United States wants Argentine meat suf.
hciently to provide means for transport
ing it they can get it, but South Ameri-
can meat producers will not commit
themselves to the expression of an opin.
ion that the price Of meat or leather
In the United States will drop If large
quantities of Argentine beef and hides
are placed on the American market.
