SUGAR RATION URGENT
NEED, SAYS HOOVER
Refusal to Buy Louisiana Crop Was a
Mistake-Prices Can Never BE
Fixed by Threats of Jail.

Washington, ID. C.-Herbert Hoover,
former food administrator and candi-
date for the republican nomination Tor
president, gave his views to congress
on the sugar and industrial situations
Appearing before a house committee
investigating the sugar situation, MT
Hoover declared that the world short
age of the product was likely to con
tinue two or three years. The press
ing need was rationing, he said, with
immediate government action to con
troll the supply through commercial
not legalistic methods. Although the
hearing related primarily to the action
OF Attorney General Palmer in ap-
proving a maximum price for the Lou
isiana crop. 1t reached out into a
broader field after. Mr.. Hoover said he
could give only an "off-hand" opinion
as TO that proceeding, Mr.. Hoover
said. however. that the government
should have bought the Louisiana
r last year. pocketing the loss, or
else selling to the luxury trade at an
advance.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Hoover who
was a member OF President Wilson's
second industrial conference. told the
senate labor committee he did not be-
lieve that the relationship between
employers and employees could be set.
tied by any form of legal repression,
whether it be by injunction, compul-
sorry arbitration or industrial courts,
He said labor unquestionably had been
affected by reports of the excessive
profits OF some employers, although ne
was emphatic in asserting that unlike
Europe, the United States had moi
been threatened by any attempt by
labor leaders to use the strike as a
political weapon.
While a large audience heard Mr..
Hoover's views before both commit
tees, greatest interest was displayed
by crowds that sought enlightenment
on the shortage and high price of SUI
gar. with it's resultant tax on the fam
ily p%ocketbook. Answering a multi
tude OF questions bearing on the Lou
isiana crop and price situation Mr..
Hoover explained that he had no
knowledge of his own on the subject,
but that II Influenced Cuban producers
to stimulate prices. and except for 1t
the rise in prices would have been less
rapid.
Mr.. Hoover frankly disagreed with
the policy adopted by the attorney
general. saying that II he had been In
the latter's place he certainly would
not have attempted such an opera
ton Prices never could be fixed by
threats Of Jail. he said. adding that the
proper course vas through commercial

EAGLES PILE UP TEN
RUNS while MINNER
CLAMPS ON RESERVES

Pete MINER, backed in sensational
style and cheered by the largest crowd
of the season, held the Indianapolis
Reserves to two hits and three runs
while his team mates were battering
the visiting pitcher for II hits and 10
runs at Exhibition Park. Sunday after
noon.
Although MINERS backing was
guilty of five hobbies, he was given
sensational support. The 16 assists
will attest this. Johnny Logan, Eagle
second sacker, was especially brilliant.
He handled nine chances without a
bobble. Cy Fitzgibbons, short stop,
mussed but one out of eight chances.
He made up for it with the stick, how
ever. hammering out three singles out
of five trips to the plate.
Cooney, former centerfelder for the
Richmond Quakers, performed in bril-
liant style. His slashing drive through
third in the seventh inning was the
first hit made off MINER. He also made
a brilliant catch in the last of the
seventh, although the left fielder could
have taken the ball with but little
effort
The Reserve defense was full of
holes the latter part of the game. The
! first five runs of the Eagles were made
off solid drives but he last ones were
practically presented with compli-
ments. Wayte, Reserve second base,
man, was particularly loose. He
mussed three out of eight chances.
| The Eagles hit safely in the first
two innings but nothing resulted. The
big crash came in the third. Fitzgib
! bons got his second hit. Then follow
ed hit by Schepman, sacrifice by
Logan, two wasted f1elder's choice on

clouts by Justice and Byrkett, and five
runs were across. Two errors anc

BROOKLYN and REDS
BOTH DROP BACK IN
STANDING OF WEEK

Brooklyn continues to lead the race
In the National league, despite a lit
tie slump last week-that is, a slump
as compared with the way the team
has been playing since the last week
in June.
The Robins lead, however, was not
cut down to any extent, because Gin
cinnati, the runnerup team, lost three
games during the week. The relative
positions of the two teams was not
changed yesterday, as both were de-
feated.
The New Giants had a successful
week in, the west and for a day
occupied fourth place. The Giants
with Chicago and st. Louis are having
nip-and-tuck race for the honor OF
bringing up the rear end of the first
division, all three being within strik
ing distance of Pittsburg, which occu
pies third place.
Boston fell behind during the week
and Philadelphia, although having a
tight hold on last place, improved its
percentage. The closeness Of the
National league race may be noted
from the fact that only about 100
points separates the first six clubs.

S. A. L. Baseball
s. A. L. STANDING.

Saturdays S. A. L. results caused
new tie for league leadership. The
Starr was victim Of an unexpected bat
ting spree on part of the Natco, the
final score being Is to 5.
The 16 to 9 walloping received by
the Wayne Works from the Jenkins
Vulcans was not unexpected. The
Wayne Works played out Of it's class
against the Natco last week. 1t prob
ably would have trimmed the Vulcans
had the same lineup been present.
The feature Of the game was the ter
rife hitting of Carl Runnells in his
first appearance in S. A. L. circles. He
smalled double, triple and home run
in four times up.
The Starr-Natco game was featured
by the scratch homer Of Knott. He
hit a slow single through centerfeld.
Justice lost it in the weeds near the
right-center field fence and only picked
it. up as Knott crossed the pan. The

the wind from Fitz and Justie but both
resumed play. Reddinghaus mussed
one. Clifton and Cooney scored on the
error. Fitzgibbons retired Wayte but
bobbled Cathcart's effort. Abrams hit
to left, scoring Shelby. Philips flied
to FitZgibbons.
Neither team could do anything af-
ter this inning. The fans pulled some
thing unusual when they failed to
start leaving the game in the eighth
inning. The only reason known to
the writer is the large number of wo-
men that attended the game. This
makes the fifth consecutive win for
the Eagles. Piqua, Hamilton, Merits,
