Magnates Battle
For Pitcher Blake

Is Gerry Hermann, of the Cincin-
natl Champs" trying to even a
grudge against Barney Dreyfuss, of
the Pirates? This is the uuestionathat
| is bothering many of the students of
National League politics, and devel-
opments are being watched with
considerable interest.
1t is no secret that Barney Drey-
fuss did all in his power to pull Her r
mann out of his job on the national
commission, nor is it any secret that
Mr.. Hermann and Mr.. Dreyfuss
hardly speak as they pass by, which
might be taken to prove Mr.. Herr
mann knows where Mr.. Dreyfuss
stood with reference to his national
commission tangle.
The fight has been renewed. Pitts
burgh has on tits roster a young
hurler by the name of Blake. He is
hardly ready for major league duty
but Dreyfuss desires to hold on to
him. He decided recently to ask for
waivers on the lad in order that he
might send him to some minor league
team for further seasoning. Every
team in the National waived but
Hermann. Garry wants Blake.
When Dreyfuss was informed of
the situation he Immediately placed
Hermann on the grill, and then
wrote the Cincinnati magnate a let

in the know. should have been typed
on asbestos paper Hermann Is hold

Blake. If Dreyfuss spurns the offer,
Blake is destined to hurl to the Pi-

watch the game from the bench.

to delve into some personalities.
Dreyfuss made the statement several
days ago that Hermann does not
care anything about Pitcher Blake
because he knows nothing about she
youngster. but he has recognized an

The Public is Warned to Buy Care
fully.

Orrin M. Pierce, credit manager of
the Minot Grocery Co., has returned
from Minneapolis, where he read a
paper at the annual convention of
credit men of the northwest. The
meeting was attended by nearly SOC
credit men and was of great import
ance. Mr. Pierce says that the ad-
vice given by experts at the meeting
was to begin retrenching in business
Immediately. There must be no fur
ther expansion Of credits. The in
flation of prices is likened to rub
ber band which has been extended to
close to the breaking point. BY the
banks, jobbers, manufacturers, retail
ers, and everybody working together
on a gradual Tightening up process,
business can be brot back to a pre-war
basis in manner that will be bene-
fetal to all.
Efforts will be made during the
present year to discourage the lavish
expenditure, of money. Banks will dis
courage excessive leans and will do
what they can to gradually cut down
money already loaned. Merchants
will be asked to go on a cash basis as
nearly as possible and people owing
the stores will be asked to pay their
bills as well. Merchants must pay the
the wholesalers more readily. By all
working together we can not only
avert disaster but proceed along sound
business lines.

that whenever there was record vote
he would be found voting for bond is

Gronna declared the attack was in
spired by his arraignment of julius

by his reference to the paper in ques-
