VESSELS WILL BURN OIL

Washington, Jan. 20.-Aflrming his
belief that only by ships, and more
ships could the United States and
South America be brought close
enough together to "Shake hands
daily" Chairman Payne yeste. day out
lined to the American Financial
Conference the plans of the Shipping
Board for linking the interests of the
Pan American republics on chan
of great steamers plying between the
two continents.
Indicating the American govern
ment's keen desire to establish an
adequate service to South Anne lean
ports, Mr.. Payne said the Shipping
Boards policy has sometimes mani
tested itself in an optim SIN which
the cold logo of fact has not JUST
fed" Notwithstanding that, he de.
elared the Board would proceed with
its plans. x
In explanation of why fast passen-
ger steamers had not already been
put into the South American service,
the speaker said the war delayed the
building of passenger steame-s by
creating an abnormal demand for car
go sh 'ps and that the repatriation of
Amerc can soldiers had caused the War
Department to keep in military serv-
ice many big liners.
1--WE are building 26 new passenge
ships for delivery this spring" Char
man Payne continued. THE War and
Navy Departments have turned over
to us 81 ex-German passenger sh ps,
but these having been made into
troop ships, are not in condition to be
used for passenger Sc vice until re-
cond toned. The first of these Is the
Moccasin now on It's way to South
America, and will be followed by 9th
err and larger ships as fast as they
can be made ready for service. All
Will be converted to burn fuel oil
Their accommodations will be first
class and part of their cargo holds
will be refrigerated TO care for the
movement of perishable products.
THE Board regards the passenger
service to South Anne lea as of para
mount Importance" continued Mr..
Payne. Pending the reconditioning
OF the five steamers mentioned above,
is doing what 1t can to provide a tenn
porary service. The Moccasin viii be
followed early in March by the Cal
lao, and 1t is hoped to secure temper
airy use OF one of the vessels now in
the army Transport service TO I'LL the
gap and maintain for the present at
least monthly sailing.
For the calendar year of 1919, 100
Shipping Board steamers were de-
spatched from United States port TO
Brazil carrying a total of 444,400 tons
of cargo. To the river Plate, 129
steamers with $4,000 tons of cargo

FuRs OF GREAT PRICE
Same Values Have Doubled Since
Opening of Season.

The Burlington Rendering company
staged another fur sale last week,
when between $4,000 and 100000
worth OF furs were sold TO New
York and Boston buyers. This sale
eclpsed all others when the humble
mus1rat, which boys sold few years
ago for 10 and 10 cents. was bought in
a large lot Of 1000 for $3.50 fiat, poor
and good alike. Such a p;iee was
never before heard of in tbs section.
Other furs, with the exception of
skunk. sold for far more than their
former value, but there was no such
increase as in muskrats.
AT this season the furs are natu, al
ly higher priced because Of the excel.
lent condition of the fur, and the buy
ers went after the rats at the drop Of
the hat, for they are. In tremendous

Further, cargo steamers win be adj

Following its policy OF encourag.

The ats were the most important fea
ture of the sale and Brought in about
one aalf OF the receipts. The phenom
email increase is shown By the fact that
the rats only brought S2f5 at the first
sale in November and last year
brought ABOUND $3.50. The immense
profit in killing the rats has caused an
urdoubted decrease in the supply,
which probably win bring along some
p otectlng laws with the next meeting
OF the Legislature.

Tn the lineup for the first exhibition game, submitted by Moey yesterday, five of the names are strange ones, players whose worth IS absolutely unknown to local fandom Three of the others be- long to Barons. They are, Peters, Stew enson and Bernsen, veterans of last sea- son. Glazrer, Morrison, Signlan and Cof- findaffer, who will take care of the pitch ing end of the game. are more or less on probation with Baronial fans Not che of the quartett made startling rec ord last season~and uniess this season s pitching talent turns out to be at least 100 per cent more efficient than in 1919 the path to the pehnant heights in 1920 will indeed be- -hard and rugged.
 The middle of the infield. second base and short stop, will be in the hands of new parties. Black at second is but A youngster. If he does not slow up in his improvement he will develop into a good second baseman. Crowl at short. is fast and accurate on his throws. He is inexperienced. but should soon round out into fair class shortstop. There seems to be hitting power in this pair of infielders.
 The entire outfield wile be filled with strangers. Silva, Pacific coast product is faster fielder than the ordinary run of recruits. He seems to be a hard hit ter, also, Judging from his shelving in Batting practice. Griffith, former Look out IS good fielder, but does not seem to be the hitter one could desire. Norton local City Leaguer, is strong on the high flies and long drives.
 Moley has a second set of outfielders. Ellis at left McCarty in center and Summa in right Ellis and Summa are veterans from last season. Ellis is the harder and more consistent litter of the pair, While summa seems to be slightly the faster fielder. McCartv has not played in Southern circuits before. but has splendid record in the American Associa. ton.

 The outfeld combination was also at work. Silva is a fast fielder, and be- sides. yields a wicked willow. Griffith in center. chases about like a young colt, and gobbles up all flies in that part of the diamond. Norton is of the slugging type o< outfelder. player badly needed on the Baronial squad.
 Billy West, business manager of the club, said yesterday that the time of the game with the Phillies had been changed from 3:S0 to 3:l5, which wifi allow ff- teen minutes more of playing time be- fore darkness sets in.

lot landed most, but Smiles drfVes were heaviest and had most effect / In the third round, Guillot attempted fto reach Smiles chin, but the B. A. c. boy kept him off by countering with heavy rights. The New Orleans fighter took this session easily on points The judges awarded the decision to Guillot Tom Haney, New Orleans, and Frank Sarginini, Camp Taylor, boxed three ex- hibition rounds, the decision being awarded to Haney. The first round was even stephen, the two fighters excchang- ing blow for blow, and doing much clinching.
 Haney took the second round, landing smash after smash to the face, and landing several solid swings to the body.
 The third round went to Haney by a shade. Sarginini fought more in the open in this session and countered sew eral times with telling effect. Haney's aggressiveness took the round for him. The judges awarded the bout to Haney.
 Henry Krause, Camp Taylor, won the middleweight title from Sailor" Bar rington. who was unable to come back for the second round, after being badly battered in the first Krause kept his opponent under cover throughout the first round.
 Guillot forfeited the featherweight title to Ashton Donza. having injured his hand in the bout with Smiles.
 David Evans, B. Al C., forfeited the 13S-pound championship to Farror Sher- rod, also Birmingham. Evans injured his wrist and lip in his fight with JohI- son, New Orleans, last night.
 'sRecruiter" Donreley, local fighter, who made such good showing in the preliminary bouts Monday night, is lug ging around with him an arm load of splinters. plaster of paris, and other in- gredients used in the repairing of hu- man anatomy. Donneley broke his wrist in his bout with Red Johnson of New Orleans, all of which explains why the soldier fighter gave up in the third round when he had the bout cinched on points. "Recruiter'' broke his wrist against Johnson's head just one minute before the final bell rang, and thus lost the fight. Victory would have placed him in the finals of the welterweight class.

 used.
 At present Emerich Is looking
 mighty good in the outfield. The youngster fields in fine fashion. and clouts the ball all around the lot. I.in- gerall continues to show good form in the box.
