ALL BILL NEEDS IS BALL TEAM

When Gene Paulette was banished by
Judge Lands, the infeld was reduced to
Art Fletcher, a fading but reliable vet

Barring preponderance Of left-handed
hitters, the outfield looks more like a
baseball team with Williams, Neale,
Meusel, StengeI and Lebourveau.
Lee Meadows and Jimmy Ring secured

WASHINGTON.--C of silver
dollars has been resumed by the mint
after seven years and the work Of re-

lars taken from the treasury during
the war to sell to Great Britain has

Since March, treasury officials said
Monday approximately 20,O00,000 sill
yer dollars have been coined. In the
same period corresponding amounts Of
silver certificates were issued and
federal certificates were issued and
federal reserve notes and treasury GER
tificates securing them, retired. This
process, officials said, would probably
continue five years until the treasur-

Baker sold to England 279. 100000
silver dollars, amounting to 208,000, 900
ounces of silver at $1.01h an ounce
plus the market price of the copper

transportation and the cost of re.
coinage.
The work of refilling the hole left
in the treasury's vaults, Mr.. Baker
said, was we'll under way, the mint
striking off silver dollars at about
{, OOO.O0O to 100000 month.
Since May. 1920. the mint has
bought about 55,OOO.OO0 ounces OF
American silver at 81 an ounce and
will continue its purchase at this price
until the treasury's stock is replen
