BECOMING SENSATION
Baseball Expert Expects Young

Former Brooklyn SchooIboy Fast Com

Joe villa, New York baseball ex-
pert, says that if young Waite Hoyt
takes good care of his right arm and
continues to learn the weak points of
American league batsmen he soon
may be the greatest pitcher in base
ball. -Four years ago Hoyt, who Dow
is &c, was Brooklyn sciloolboy, also
a natural curve artist. Anxious to be-
come a professional, he visited Eb-
bets Field on several occasions and
surprised the big leaguers with his
display of skill.
A Giant scout saw Hoyt warm up
one afternoon and told McGraw, who
asked the youngster to report at the
Polo grounds. Hoyt made such ia
vorable impression on McGraw that he
was signed to private contract, and
year later ne was sent to minor
league team. Making little Roadway
among the small fry, the boy finally
drifted out of McGraw's control and
was temporarily forgotten.
Last summer the Boston Red Sox
unearthed Hoyt and he jumped into

Nobody Seems to Want MacGregor Ross

XKTHAT to do with MacGregor Ross
w has become an international
question, for negotiations are in prog
ress between the United States and
Great Britain over the Ellis Island
prisoner. England does not want him,
the United States cannot prove he was
born in Scotland, and Ross is very
candid to say that he himself cannot
remember where he was born. 1t is
charged. that he is a member of the
Industrial Workers of the World. He
has been very active in its affairs on
the Pacific coast. and has been ordered
.depOrted as an undesirable alien.
To the federal authorities in Seat
tie Ross's name sounded so Scotch
that they arrested him with 50 aliens
and sent him to Ellis Island. Though
he claims. the United States Is his ma
tive land, there are no records to
prove it.
Rosss earliest recollection is of sell
ing papers on the Bowery in 1864
when. he was about 10 years old. He
remembers driving a canal team in
PENNSYLVANIA and of going west later.

You May Now Do Business With Russians

No goods may be sent by parcel post.
Otherwise, you are free to engage in
commerce with the bolsheviki.
If trade is actually resumed with
Russia, it apparently will have to be
conducted through the cooperative
societies in the soviet nation. These
societies, which have a membership Of
20,000000, furnish the only known
medium for the resumption of trade
between the United States and the
territory controlled by the Moscow
government.
SO far as the United States is con-
cerned, all restrictions on trade have
been lifted except as to articles sss-
ceptible of immediate use for war pur-
poses. If Americans have anything
they desire to ship to Russia, they are
free to do so with this one limitation,
while Russians may ship out anything
nlericans will take.
The Russian cooperative societies
stand as the only commercial and In
d1strial machinery left intact amid

FARMERS DO WELL
Record Prices Paid Wheat Grow
erS of Western Canada.
Will Get Above 40 Cents Over the
Fixed Scale Set--WorId Looking
to the Dominion for Its
Grain.

It will be of interest to many read
ers to learn that their farmer friends
In Canada will do so well out Of the
wheat they grew on western Canada's
prairies last year.
There was fixed price of $2.15 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
| son.
Not knowing the price at which II
would be possible to market the crop,
! the Canadian grain board, which or
ganization handled the whole of the
crop last summer, fixed 50 15 as min
! lmum price for No. 1 wheat, and ar
| ranged that each farmer sshould be
given certificates for the quantity of
wheat he delivered. TIE amount re-
ceived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
| selling their wheat was to be divided
| pro rata at the end of the season, and
the holders of these certificates will,
therefore, participate In the extra
price received according to the guam
Itity Of wheat sold.
The latest adyices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
| bushel over the fixed rate of $2.15 a
bushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about $40,000,00O will
be distributed among the farmers of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference In
| the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the prize that was fixed for
last seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat In Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
at between So and So per bushel, was
made recently before q conference OF
western supporters Of the government
| by DR.. Robert Magill, who was one OF
deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued in fa-
yor of open trading from the aspect
Of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
sia owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
none to export, India was prohibiting
export, while Australians acreage
would fall from 100000 to 100000.
The result would be thnt Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
| ly no wheat for Europe, except from
the Argentine and North America.
DIR. Magill, according to formal an.
nouncement, though it would be inn.
| possible to secure as good price for

open market. The United States mar
ket was now open, and, according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little to spare from that quar-

man and Won Fels fighting desperately
for the hand of Crete Felsner, a pretty
Dresden actress.
Hartman and the young woman were
secretly engaged when Won Fels came
upon the scene. He paid court so
openly that a quarrel between the two
men followed Won Fels, an expert
duelist, challenged Hartman and the
challenge was accepted.
The girl, realizing that her fiance
would have little chance for his life
in an ordinary duel, and knowing him
20 be an expert aviator, proposed a
novel departure from the usual field
of honor-a duel in the air. The idea
met with instant favor and the Sec
onds arranged for details for the first
aerial duel.
The duel was to be fought at an al
titude Of 5000 feet, the contestants fir
ing through their propellers until one
was downed. The first time the ma
chimes came within range of each
other, neither aviator was harmed. The
Fokkers turned and again dashed at
each other and this time Won Fels' ma
chine crashed to the earth.
An inquiry was instituted and is still
i'll progress. The affair was so baf-
flingly novel that the military jurists
are in a quandary. The young woman,
who was the cause of the duel, left
the town hurriedly and Hartman was
cheated, temporarily, at least, of the
prize for which he had risked his life.

Post, who reviewed the case, signed
the order of deportation.
To deport an alien, however, it is
necessary to obtain passport from
the country to which he is to be sent.
The British authorities in the absence
of proof, refuse to believe he is a
British subject and will not issue a
passport.
This is Ross second visit to Ellis
Island. His first was in February,
1919, when he was arrested in Seattle
with two or three hundred undesira-
bles. Later he obtained his release
through the federal courts and re-
turned TO Seattle.
