ENDS TWIN BILL

BY taking a double-header from
Henryetta at Grady field yesterday
afternoon, the Chicks gained firm
er hold on first place and advanced
a pair of steps nearer the first
half championship of the Western
association. Scores of the games
were 70 TO 0 and 8 to 6.
The cgppled Hens went to pieces
in the second inning of the first
game and the locals put over seven
runs, these being gariiered with
five singles, three of which were
of the scratch variety, one error,
Miller's wild heave and hit bats
man. Four more were added in the
next frame, singles by Henry and
Sturdy, Green's double and ADKINS
error being responsible for these
tallies. The locals completed their
scoring in the seventh. Johnson,
leading off, drew base on balls
and swiped second. He advanced
to third while Bully Mclean was
being retired, Daniels to Glackin,
and scored when Jim Mclean laid
down nice sacrifice bunt.

A batting bee by the Hens in the
fifth resulted in Walter Henry be-
ing benched in favor Of Curry, who
started on the mound at the be-
ginning of the sixth. The rally
that resulted in the big right hand
er's retirement started when Pat
ten was safe on Jamiski's error.
Grlfoyle and Cassidy followed with
singles and Thomas and Robinson
added doubles, all of which gave

|the years 1918 10 1000. inclusive
this Increase was tremendous and
exports grew 10 much mow rap
Idly than imports that we piled up
an astonishing s4eess Of outgoing
goods.
Our foreign trade may bc con.
,enlently divided Into three large
classes; food-s'uffs, including
wheat. -four. meat. fruits. dairy
produce. etc; raw materials. In.
cludlng cotton. coal. tobacco. lum.

products. Each OF these may DO
further subdI,lded as minutely as
the Interested person may desire,
but for the sakc of simplicity wa
shall consider here only the broad
divisions mentioned. An effect Of
the war upon our export trade was
an Immediate increase In the ship
ment from this country OF food.
stuffs and OF finished manufactures.
As European industry turned from
It's normal pursuits TO the produc.
tlon OF munitions. decline took
place In shipments Of raw mats-
rails. Commodities such as copper
were In greater demand than for
mcrly. Cotton. which had COM
prlsed the bulk OF raw exports. was
then desired In the finished rather
than the raw condition.
During 1919 aud 1890, on tha
other hand. the major increase In
our export trade Is traceable TO thu
demand OF tho old Industrial ma.
tlons for our raw materials and
our foodstuifs. which we're needed
TO re-cstabllsh their manufactures.
our shipment OF raw materials. es-
peclally cotton and tobacco. began
TO Increase. though copper and
steel decreased. Al the same time.
the exports OF foodstuffs and OF
many manufactures increased very
rapidly.
Imports also grew In the Armi.
stice years more rapidly than at
any previous time OF our history.
However. the principal increase
was In Imports from Latin-Amen-
ca and the Orient. rather than In
those from Europe. A very large
percentage OF the total increase Is
represented by raw materials aud
foodstuffs, such as hides. rubber.
silks. coffee and sugar. The impor-
tatlon OF such articles had been re-
strlcted when shipping was diverted
from ordinary mercantile channels
TO the transport Of our army and Its
supplies to France.
With the return OF shipping TO
its trade routes, Imports of these 4
articles became SO large that the /
country was rapidly flooded with
more than II could consume at high |
prices. In consequence, these im-
ports have now been practically
suspended, and the countries OF I
which they are staple- exports ara
undergoing severe commercial re-
adjustment TO more, normal trade
conditions. AS Industrial Europe
returns to its pre-war manufac-
lures and regalns Its former re-ex-
port trade, 1t Is probable that q
considerably larger percentage of
our imports will be from that
quarter.
