IT'S THE SAME OLD BALL
increase in Home Runs for 1920 Due
to No Freak Pitching"

Philadelphia. June 5.-The big in
crease in home runs this season is not
due to any change in the ball, accord
ing to Thomas Shibe, member of the
firm that manufactures all the base
balls used in the major leagues ana
vice president Philadelphia American
league club.
Tho baseball used this year" said
Mr. Shibe, lis the same as used last
year end several seasons before that.
The specifications this year called for
the same yarn, the same cork center.
the same size and weight of rubber
and the same horse hide. 1t has not
been changed one iota and no effort
has been made to turn out a livelier
ball"
Mr.. Shibe said his theory was that
the abolition of all freak deliveries
was the cause of the hard hitting.
with all freak deliveries dead" he
said, and the splitter almost dead, the
batsmen are able to hit the ball more
solidly. There are no longer any
emery or saliva covered spheres to
make the ball slide off the bat

ARMENIAN MANDATE ON LIST

Washington, June with sine die
adjournment set for p m, both
houses of congress faced busy ses-
sions today. The house has been no
titled by Chairman Porter of its for
eign affairs committee that it would
be called on to act during the day on
the senate resolution declining to
grant President Wilson authority to
assume on behalf of the United States
a mandate over Armenia. Forty min
utes debate was to be permitted and
amendments were to be barred. Re-
publican leaders expect the resolution
10 be adopted
On the second important matter
confronting the house-the veto by
. the president of the bill to estab-
lish a national budget system
leaders were undecided. Supporters
OF a budget system were urging that
the provision which the president
found Objectionable be eliminated,
while some Republican members advo-
Gated that the bill he, allowed to die
and the presidents veto be used as
campaign issue.
Decision of the senate to recede
from its amendments adding $4,000

500 Postmastcrs Confirmed.
The senate at it's night session con-
firnoed the nominations OF about 500
postmas ters and when it convened To-
day about 900 more remained to be
acted on. Other pending nominations
Included those of John Shelton Will

Measures on which legislative action

will go to the president today include:
The resolution repeating all war laws
with the exception of the Lever food
act and the trading with the enemy
act; the bill granting increased pay to
postal employees beginning July 1 and
the merchant marine bill.
Measures which leaders said were
certain to fail of enactment included

Chicago weekly Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, June 5.-Sweeping upturhs in
the price of corn have taken place this
morning chiefly as a result of failure of
efforts to hurry the much belated crop
movement. Compared with a week ago.
corn quotations this morning were 9Ac to
HE higher and oats up. sac to 7iic.
In provisions the outcome varied from
SOC decline to 25ac gain.
Continued meagerness of arrivals of corn
led to a steep advance. So impetuous was
the rush to buy that in a single session
14c a bushel was added to values. Subse-
quent warnings to the railroads that penal
sections of the interstate commerce act
would be invoked had only a temporary
bearish influence on the other hand Inn
pediments to wheat export business in
Argentina gave a fresh advantage to the
bulls in corn, and so, too. did reports that
the 1920 domestic grain season was ten TO
twenty days late
Oats climbed to the topmost prices yet
this season. simultaneously receipts dwin-
died nearly to zero.
Provisions were weakened by the fact
that the stock of lard here was the second
heaviest on record.
