NO RESUMPTION OF
TRADE WITH RUSSIA
RoLsHEvIK TRADE HAZARDOUS,
SECRETARY HUGHES INFORMS
SAMUEL GoMPERs.
Soviet Russia Is q Gigantic Economic
Vacuum, With NO Evidence That
Unfortunate Situation Is Likely
t. Improve, Says Hughes.

Washington. Secretary Hughes,
writing to Samuel Campers, who asked
for statement of 'the facts" regard
ing Russia, indicates definitely that
there is no prospect of a resumption
of relations with the United States
while the soviet political and eco
nomic system remains.
The letter replies to various state
ments characterized as propaganda
which contend resumption of relations
with the soviets would open a great
current of trade of advantage to the
United States and that large ship
ments of Russian gold have been
made to other countries in payment for
goods.
Soviet Russia, the secretary declares,
is gigantic economic vacuum" and
he adds that mo evidence exists that
the unfortunate situation is likely to
be alleviated so long as the present
system continues"
There have been since December 18,
Secretary Hughes says, no restrictions
on financial transactions between the
United States and Russia, although
there is no assurance that the mint or
the reserve banks win accept Rus
sian gold.
In reality, the secretary says, trans
fers of Russian gold to other coun-
tries have been small and at the most
liberal estimates the sOviets have not
more than $175,O00,OOO gold. Even Inn
mediate expenditure of the whole
amount in the United States, he says,
would have no lasting effect on Amer
lean trade or industry and it might
take away the scant hope left of a
sound reorganization Of the Russian
system of currency and finance"

J. Doak Roberts Gives History Of
Expression.
DIsGusted Syracuse Pitcher Gave Vent
TO Exclamation When Three Re-
cruIts Dropped Safeties Back
Of the InfieId.

"Texas leaguers," recruits or stars
from the circuit of cities in the Lone
Star state making up that association,
have wrecked many ball games when
they passed on to the major leagues,
but the real Texas Lacquer" the hit
itself, no matter from what state the
player who delivered it came, has
wrecked many more day by day,

years.
Every fan, from the lad at the knot
hole TO the man in the box seat,
knows "Texas Lacquer" when he
sees Ii drop safely just back Of the in
field and out Of reach of the outfield-
ers, but few know the history of the
expression.
According to J. Doak Roberts, presi-
dent of the Texas league, and a man
with Iifetime's experience in profess
sional baseball. the expression origin
ated in the early eos when disguised
Syracuse pitcher gave vent TO Good
Lord! Another of those Texas
leaguersi" when Scrappy Bill Joyce,

graduates dropped a short safety back
of the Syracuse infield
The story antedates even the We
teran. Roberts. but this Is his version
of it:
Emmett Rogers, Scrappy Bill Joyce
and Arthur Sunday, three famous
players well remembered by all of the
old timers, were members of the 1889
team of the Houston club, managed
by John McCIuskey. They were the
first Texas leaguers ever sold to high
er company, netting the sum of 500
as a total purchase price.
1.-THE trio were finished stars, past
masters in the art of bunting and
placing hits. The story goes that in
their first game in bigger company
they faced 0'Brien of Syracuse Rog-
ers placed a hit over the infield, and
the Syracuse defense moved in, ex-
pecting Sunday to bunt. Instead Sun
day chip-shooted the bali and ii
dropped just out OF the reach of the
shOrtstop. who could not get It back
in time.
Joyce, too, was expected to bunt,
but he followed In Sundays wake,
dropping another short hit back OF

1T was then that O'Brien voiced
his disgust and coined a new term for
