BAR ALL GERMAN ATHLETES

German and Austrian athletes have
been barred from the Olympic games
in 1920 and may be perpetually dis

This announcement was made re-

BY mutual agreement the enemies OF

great players, Collins is finally COM

AS ages go, Collins is still young
man. He is only thirty-two, but 1or
a ball player, and particularly an in
fielder, that is rather ripe age. And
as service goes he is one of the real
veterans in the big leagues. He has
been playing professional baseball
since 1906. He has seen IA seasons

JIMMY SMITH QUITE
LUCKY BALL PLAYER

A ball player who is not regular
on a championship team, but who
draws a share of world series purse,
is naturally counted very fortunate.
Jimmy Smith, utility infielder of the
Reds, has "sat out" his second worlds
series, and for the second time re-
ceived a neat sum of money without
having to work for it.
Smith received $5,2O7O1 as his
share Of the series money between
the Reds and White SOx. All he had
to do for this "gob" of cash was to
run for Sherwood Magee, pinch hit
ter, and to get into an argument with
Eddie Collins.
In 1917 Jimmy was with the Giants
and drew down a bundle of coin in
the fall, though he did not take part
in the series with the White Sox.

Kansas City.-Farmers Of the Uait
q States face q new era, which VIII
be marked by steady improvement,
in marketing conditions despite the
present discouraging low price OF farm
products, speakers declared here 81
the opening session Of the fifteenth an
nual International Farm Congress.
Confidence in the future of the farm
ing industry was expressed and farm
eTs were warned of the danger of cut.
ting production. Marketing of prod
ucts on hand rather than future pro
ductton plans drew the principal dis
tussiOn.
Condemnation of the conditions
which brought about the decline IN
prices of farm products was voiced
by various speakers. Transportation
was blamed by some for inability to
market products when prices were
higher, and boards of trade generally
were denounced for contributing tc
falling prices.
Despite calamitous low prices. .
real era for the farmers is at hand, }"
declared DR.. e. o. Lyman, Of Utah
vice-president, who directed the meet
ing in the absence of Senator Arthur
Capper, of Kansas, president.
II believe low-prices conditions are
temporary and that out of the situa
ton win emerge great comprehen
sion of the nations extent and rich
ness, said Dr. Lyman.
Warning farmers of the danger in
limiting production, DR.. H. J. Waters
q governor Of the congress and for
mer head Of the Kansas State Agrf
cultural College, said the marketing
situation, as he saw it, was zone that
would improve, not go further in the
mire."

he said. I'VE have the food and they
have the appetites."
A letter from Herbert Hoover, for
mer Food Administrator, was read tc
the convention, outlining what Mr.
Hoover characterized as "the major
needs of American agriculture"
His suggestions included:
peace with Europe and participa.
tion of the United States in preserving
peace that the economic life there may
revive and again restore demand for
our surplus
Erection of international credit ma
chinery by which we can enable Eu
rope to buy.
':An abolition of consolidated buying
and the control Of our farm prices by
European governments" s,
These recommendations Mr.. Hoover
closed as emergency measures.
AS permanent policies he suggested: !:
Better marketing system that all
impediments to the free flow Of the law
Of supply and demand may be re
moved.
Better transportation system.
Better adjustment of taxation so
that the burden may be better shifted
to non-essential expenditure.

buying and selling among farmers"
