 'I have seen enough of three pitch CTS to feel sure that they will deliver the goods, just as they did last year. Moran has well-balanced staff, with a goodly number of right-handers and southpaws of class, and he has shown that he knows how to handle pitchers as well as any manager in the busi- ness. The excellence of his pitching staff enables him to use the best and most scientific methods at the bat. With weak pitching manager must depend on slugging. and getting over as many runs as possible. But the Red pitching is good enough to allow the use of the waiting game and the one-run game. noticed that Pat has taught his men to wait out opposing pitchers, and have no doubt he prof it's largely by their ability to do so."

AUSTRIA FACES COMING
YEAR WITH DEEP FEARS
(Associated Press Correspondent

IA SSOCfuL6Q fTGSS COTJCSpONuChSc'g
VIENNA, Dec. 29-The Austrian re-
public faces it's SECOND year with fore
boding. Both the political and econ
omic situations are believed here to
have grown daily worse since early
Autumn.
The holiday season found Vienna
| with a reduced bread ration, virtually
no fats and without fuel. The expect
ed supply of coal from Czecho-Slovak-
ia has not been received and public
| utilities were kept partly in operation
only by great efforts and economies.
High hopes had been entertained
frim the visit Of Chancellor Renner to
the Supreme Council at Paris. The
people expected that Austria would
obtain sufficient credit, food, fuel and
raw material for the resumption of
their industrial life. Now that the re-
suit of his journey has become known
the newspapers sound note of despair
One of them remarks that the decis-
ion of the Supreme Council that Vor-
arlberg may not separate from Austria
means that that province Is condemn
ed to suffer along with the rest of
Austria until the ordinary native will
have hardly sufficient for food and
clothing becomes a luxury for even
the comparatively well-to-do.
Other provinces are seeking to free
themselves from the burdens of Aus
trta n turn elsewhere for help.
There have been rumors of an i'm
pending revolt and declaration of in
dependence in Tyrol. 1t is charged in
some quarters that the whole separa-
ton movement In the Austrian prov
inces has been inspired by German
propaganda with a view to establish
ing a corridor between Germany and
Austria.

ed as the result of a bankruptcy case
in SayreVille. Meyer Kabakoff, who
owned a store OF general merchandise
a short time ago had a chattcl mort
gage foreclosed which had been made
out to his sSn. When many of the
creditors upon coming to demand
payment for bills, found the foreclo-
sure sign posted, they seized some of
the merchandise as part payment.
This action is found to have been il
legal, but many Of the creditors have
refused to return the goods and as a
result action has been taken through
legal channels.
