 No statement has been made that the former Baron will plan the offense of the Crackers, but significant thing in connection with 1t is that sammy Mayer and Roy Ellam attended the meeting of the minor league moguls held in Buffalo this winter and rep resented the Atlanta club.
 Speaking of Attendances

However, Memphis had the dis tinction of remaining out in front from the opening of the flag chase to the curtains fall This helped pile up her attendance and Memphis cashed in in gob lots on her pennant
 Going further into the dope. however. one finds that Atlanta with a losing ball club, outdrew  Birmingham, the latter possessing an outfit that was up close to the top all season. Atlanta with rotten ball club. was second from a drawing standpoint. New Orleans, In the money, was third, and Birmingham was fourth. Looks rather bad for the Magic City in a way. when Atlanta with bum club comes along and out shines Birmingham with club up near the top.
 Wanting More Money
 Whitey Glazner, who is winter ing in Birmingham, returned his unsigned contract to the Pitts burg club Wedne esday.
 Phil Douglas. who is also win tering here, is demanding more money from the Giants, it is un- derstood.

cording to the hearings 2,ooo 900 tons of a complete commercial fertilizer would be produced annually at about one-half of the present cost of fer tilizer, and the country adjacent to Muscle Shoals, in a radius of 150 or 200 miles, would be supplied with cheap power.
 Investment of sJO.o00 900
 This also means the investment of at least s5o,0oo.oo0 by the Ford com pany in eQuipping the nitrate plant for the manufacture of a complete commercial fertilizer and the estab- l:shment of other industries. More power would be developed at Muscle Shoals by these two dams than has ever been developed at any other place in the world. and as a result there will be the greatest and quick est industrial development in that section that has ever occurred al any other place. The offer of the Ala bama Power company only makes provision for the completion of the Wilson dam, and adds nothing to navigation improvement unless dam No. should afterwards be construct cd by the government or someone else.

ALL BASIC INDUSTRIES
SHOW ACTIVITY GAINS
Situation in American
Business World Gen.
orally Improved Says
Federal Reserve.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3d.
Virtually all basic industries in
the United States are showing
increased productive activity,
according to the federal reserv
board, which in a review of bust
ness and trade condi tions made
public today, reported a gener-
ally improved situation in the
American business world.
The improved conditions, according to
the review, are reflected first, in a greatly
increased employment of labor in indus
trial establishments and second, in an
unprecedented demand for freight cars.
Reports showed that on November l, the
greatest shortage of freight cars ever
developed was recorded, while immedi-
ately before and after that date the car
loadings were maintained at the max
imum.
Cotton Requirements Grow.
Mill consumption of textiles was heavy
the reveiw stated, and added that the
mill requirements of cotton continued on
an increase which late in October and
early in November reached the highest
in the last two years. Silk and wooden
mills. the review disclosed, were near
capacity operation in the face of a very
unchanged wholesale market and seasonal
declines in some lines of dry goods.
'The increased production" the review
summarized, has been accompanied by
a continued increase in the volume of
employment in industrial establishments.
The average pay per worker also was
larger, but this was due in many cases to
increased hours of labor. Railroad repair
shops and equipment factories made the
largest additions to their forces and the
percentage Of skilled labor was reported
increased in steel mill and metal lines and
by building contractors"
No Increase In Loans.
Despite the Increased business activity,
the board noted no increase in loans and
discounts by banks in the leading cities
which are members of the federal reserve
system. In fact. according to the review,
loans and discounts by banks reporting
showed a small decrease between Octo-
18 and November 10. There were. however,
small increases in loans recorded in the
southern and western districts and in
New England, but these increases were
more than offset by reductions in loans
in other sections, particularly in New
York and Chicago.
