SOUTH PILLS TO

Play Third Sectional
Clash Tonight
NORTH PHIlS AT FLEISHER

The Independent baseball teams have
been the victims of week that has
piled up pOStponcmvnts and cnncelln-
tions due 10 rain. but the local managers
hope to get good weather over the
week end and atone for some of the bad
breaks received earlier in the week.
One Of the big games on the schedule
tonight is the Bridcsbnrg South Phil
lies tilt at Shetzline Park. The up
towncrS and downtOwners have met in
two previous games. One resulted In
II tie and the other went to the credit
Of Rridesburg.
Manager Bill Rudolph is OUT after
this one. but Bridrsburg is apparently
able to get the best of the local clubs.
according 10 the records. and Bill Whit
man looks for another ''ictory.
The North Philirs will be the op.
poncntS of th" E'l"isher inrners ut
Twenty sixth and Reed streets. These
red hot battles this year. and the up
towners have the best of the argument
to date. Harry Lefty" Nolan will
use Bill Barrett on the hill and the
uptowncrs will likely use his former
teammate. Sox Seibold. Both were for
merly with the Athletics.
The South Phily Hebrews and
Shanahan stage a return affair at
Forty eighth and Brown streets. Johnny
Castle and his athletes invaded the
Sphas' battle-ground recently and came
away with the scalps Of the down
towners. and Eddie Gottirb has been
waiting TO get even ever since.
The Brooklyn Royal Giants are the
opponents of j. & j. Dobson ~ Thirty
fifth street and Queen lane. Manager
Johnny White has the Wcavers going
in fine style. although he admits that
he could use one or even two more
pitchers handily, as the team is play
ing every night for the next week.
The East Falls club expects to take
the measure of the colored lads.

MORSE WANTS PERMISSION

Washington, Jan. 29.-Charles
w. Morse, of New York, whose con-
aection with the Shipping Board
Emergency Fleet Corporation is now
being investigated by the Grand
Jury, has written this letter to the
Federal Attorney. Peyton Gordon,
who is in charge of the jury's activ-
tiles:
ION December 9Th, 1921, our at
torney, Mr.. Lambert, wrote you ask
ing that my sons and myself might
appear before any Grand Jury that
might be considering a case against
us.
s'In the eight weeks since this re-
quest was made, one Grand Jury has
been discharged, and it's successor
has been in session several weeks.
While in Maine 1 was surprised to
see in the public press that the De-
partment of Shipping Board propos-
ed to start on Monday last and OBJ
tain an Indictment from this Grand
Jury. I Immediately came to Wash
ington in person to renew the request
to either you Or to the Grand Jury
direct to be heard, waving as a con-
dition precedent, all immunity, as
we are certain-no jury will find a
true bill if all the facts are honestly
put before them, which We are GER
tain the Shipping Board officials will
not do.

insuring good crop, I would there
fore advise the preparing of one hun
dred and fifty square yards to set
four acres. and if you are fortunate
to have plants enough to set eight
acres, do not set any more than you
intended, let them go to waste, or
give to your neighbor, who was per-
haps less fortunate in raising plants,
because I fear the crop is
going to be too large this year, which
means less price ior the crop, as we
are obliged to admit, that supply and
demand has much to do with the
price of any commodity or crop. Last
years crop of tobacco, has averaged
around thirty cents a pound, and
there were very few people, who,
thought the crop would average
more than Is cents a pound, until
after the crop was housed, and found
to be short about 33 1-3 per cent of
an ordinary crop. which was caused
by excessive drought in N. C. and
Va. I therefore feel that it would be
very unwise in any one to increase
his crop, provided he had a reason
able number of acres to the horse,
es the same acres, producing an av-
'erage crop or a third more, would
cause you not to expect more than
twenty or twenty five cents a pound,
provided last years crop was given
On supply and demand basis, and
we have reason to believe it was con-
sidering the amount of old tobacco
of 1919 and 1920 crop on hand
would feel much more optimistic over
the cotton situation, in this section,
owing to the serious damage done in
the entire south by the boil weevil,
but with small production last year,
cotton is about five cents pound
lower than it was last fall, there be-
ing several million bales surplus on
hand, and the countries that need the
tobacco and cotton, are in such de-
vastated and bankrupt condition,
think it advisable for the farmer to
select his land we'll for his tobacco.
which some fail to do, plant same
number acres, fertilize and work
well, will insure better prices than
to enlarge either crop.
