LABOR STATUS
DECIDEDLY EASIER
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The farm
labor situation in the United States is
decidedly easier" than it has been
for three years, it was announced to-
day at the department of agriculture
Reports to the bureau of crop esti-
mates April I, showed that while the
percentage of normal supply was 95.2
the relative demand was only S7.5.
and ratio of supply to demand was
1888.
The south reported the labor supply
in excess of the demand notwithstand-
ing wages. The western states gen
orally also reported wages consider
ably reduced over last year and the
supply ample. Indiana and Illinois
farmers were said to be practising
strictest economies, while Idaho said
wages were going to be reasonable
and there is no shortage"
Reduction of from 20 to 80 per cent
in farm wages as compared with last
year and an ample supply were re
ported by several eastern states.

Babe" went to Cuba for $1,000 a

tract, which was at Havana, he went
to Santiago and played two games

UptoD Date News and Gossip of Interest to Sport Fa
Ho1:nsby Case
Is a Mystery
ToB Ball'Fans
Public Anxious to Know
Whether Giants Will Cop
Great Cardinal
Slugger.

The next important case on the
base ball docket reads: Where
will Roger Hornsby play IN 1921"
The future of the star swatter is
the most important story before the
fans today, and It is on a par with
the elusive pill that bounds and hops
under the shells.
St. Louis fans demand that
Hornsby be retained, They also
threaten a boycott if he is sold. And
rumors are running wild about the
star One friend Of the family has
openly announced that the new swat
king of the National league was
sold to the New York Giants last
September. Anothef unconhrmed
statement has it that Rogers already
has received a share of the pur-
chase price paid to the owners of
the Cardinals by the Giants owners.
McGraw Pressed Offer.
This much is known positively
that late last summer McGraw
pressed an offer for Hornsby of
from 100000 to $2s0000 in cash,
with no "ifs" or lands" and that he
was ready to write the check if the
Cardinals would agree to the sale.
The Hornsby case is one Of the
most peculiar club owner has had
to deal with in many moons. One
interesting sidelight deals with this
line of gossip:
Last summer. while the Cardinals
were in New York merchant
claiming to have an extreme fond
ness for Hornsby offered him a
partnership in business with this
proviso:
"It's your name that will draw
and for me to make you my partner
you have to live in New Yorl: II
months in each yearp
r. Attached to the Cardinals. natural
ly Hornsby could not live on Man
haitian Island for II months per
year.
Get the drift!
Who wouldn't want to play with
the Giants with such an induccnei,t
flashed right between the eyes?
Hornsby a Drawing Card.
While no particular names are
mentioned, it is known that Horns
by's fame is entirely too much for
the lesser lights on the club to d.
gest. Where exhibition games are
played by the Cardinals the small.
town boosters, in placing their big
sheets in conspicuous places, play
up but one member of the Cardinals.
Hornsby is their thrce-ring circus.
"See Hornsby. National leagues
greatest hitter, here with the Cardi-
nails" is a sample Of their copy. No
other player is mentioned, Natural
ly Hornsby's colleagues are not
happy over this.
By accepting a bid of 100000
from the Giants for Hornsby, the
owners of the Cardinals would find
themselves on Easy Street financial
ly, temporarily at least. Success
has not changed Hornsby and he is
the same quiet, bashful even-tem-
pered fellow who came up from
Texas, in the fall of 1915 for a pur-
chase price Of 5000.

Stecher, and he is anxious to keep
IN that condition.
The gentleman who will next offer
his block as base of operations for
