WAIVER RULES
SAVE FOURNIER
Six Clubs Block Rickey's Deal
With Orioles.
BH NEA SerCice

By NEA SerCice
ST. LOUIS, Jan. S.-Because six
major league clubs have refused to
allow Jacques Fourier to drift to
the minors, Manager Hickey of the
Cardinals has gone into conference
with himself.
1t was Rickey's opinion several
months ago that Fourniers batting
eyes were getting dim, the throwing
arm weak and the ankles squeaky.
When Fournier dropped from
batting average Of .343 in 1921 to .294
in 1922 the manager of the Cardinals
was firmly convinced that he had
piece Of material for a trade.
The opportunity arrived when
negotiations were recently opened
with the Baltimore Orioles for Jim
Boley. The first request from Man
ager Dunn Of the Orioles included
Fournier.
The waiver request on Fournier was
flashed around the circuit and Hickey
believed that it would only require
the official form and process in OBJ
tanning the release agreement Of the
other managers. But to his great
surprise there were six claims for
Fourier.

A busy week is ahead for Indiana
college basketball teams, with a great
number of the games coming at the
start of the week instead of in the
latter part as is usually the case.
Right on the jump two important con-
tests are on the card tonight. Indiana
University opens its Western Confer

Dame comes here to play Butler at
Tomlinson Hall.
Wisconsin won its first Big Ten tilt

both Butler and De PAW in pre-sea-

Crimson may surprise some of the

Notre Dame has been showing bet

years and the local Irvington five has
a tough assignment on its hands.
On Tuesday the big game ia Frank

aggregation has got away to a flying
start, with victories over Butler and

On Thursday Franklin has another
real battle on its hands when State

will give Wagner's outfit all they
want.
One of the big games OF the But
Ter schedule comes on Friday night.
The Pagemen have never done very

rather take over the Lafayette team
than most any other. The game is
to be played at the Boilermakers gym.
It Will be the third tilt OF the week

Chicago and Cincinnati.
In the second inning Of that game,
which Cincinnati won by the score

he repeated the performance of the

The spell was broken when the

Back to the Mines!

The miners in the anthracite field
will return to work tomorrow, unless
the unexpected happens. Only the
formal signing OF the new agreement
stands between a renewal Of operation.
The miners in convention In Scranton
the agreement brought about in con-
ference with Gov. Pinchot and the
operators.
The mines shut down September l..
They open September 10. Eliminating
three Sundays and a holiday. Laber
day, the result of the strike has been
a shutdown of fourteen working days.
Prior to the strike the anthracite
mines turned out a greater quantity
of coal this year than in the past. In
fact. the geological survey estimated
that the production had been well
above the general average. This ton
mage had been practically all distribut-
ed and placed in the bins of con-
sumers.
With a resumption of mining q
similar scale or perhaps an even more
rapid rate of production is to be
expected. The interruption of coal
production, therefore, should have
comparatively little effect in caring
for the needs of the anthracite-con-
suming states and the District of Co
lumbia. The situation. is not at all
comparable to that of last year, when
the mines had been shut down, not
only in the anthracite field, but also
in the bituminous. for months, There
should be a plentiful supply of coal
and the prices should not be exorbi-
tant. 1t has been estimated that, even
if the added cost of production due
to the increase of 10 per cent in wages
is passed along to- the consumer, the
increase should not be in excess of
so cents a ton. And part of this should
be absorbed by the producers and
dealers. Washington will watch with
interest the prices charged for anthra-
cite.
The federal government, dominant
here, is in a position to deal with
profiteering in coal. That it will deal
promptly with any attempts to gouge

ised

Reserved Seats Aid
English Travellers

It isn't often that railroading in
the United States has anything to
learn from England. but perhaps
there is found such an instance in the
recently inaugurated system of re-
served seat sales on certain of the
British train runs. To be sure we for
many years have had our reserved
Pullman services, but the new under
taking over there" is to sell the pas
senger In advance numbered seats in
the regular day coaches.
small charge is made. for the
added service, but so willing has the
travelling public shown itself to make
the extra payment that il usually has
been found that the unreserved seats,
of which a certain number have been
left for the general scramble, have
frequently been left vacant. The old
custom of first come, first served, in
the matter of train seats led TO so
much crowding and i'll feeling, caused
such loss of time by those who were
willing to stand in line to get first
choice of position and generally was
such a nuisance that the public well
coined the change.
We imagine the same would be true
here in. America at populous centers
and on trains which carry daily
throngs. 1t might even be made pos
sible to secure in advance regular
seats over weekly. or even monthly.
periods. The advance reservation of
numbered seats would make known
rather closely the number of passen
gers to be carried, so that the needful
train equipment could be prepared
without a fast-minute rush to add
another car, or, worse still, without
forcing the overpluS to stand.-New

have continued TO. send large SUMS
home. The study of the trade balances
made by Mr.. Hoover takes on added
significance in view Of these facts.
AS long as Europe has something to
sell. whether it be manufactured
products, raw materials. securities or
sightseeing. which Americans desire
to purchase, a certain amount of
American money is bound to find its
way abroad, It is this process which
is aiding Europe now after the col,
tossal losses growing out of the world
war. The great. gain in imports of
merchandise into this country gives
the lie, in part, to the calamity howl
ers who raised their voices when the
republican protective tariff law was
put through. 1t apparently has not
prevented imports on a larger scale
than ever before.
Mr.. Hoover,s report shows that dur,
ing 1929 exports carried in American
vessels were valued at $1,281, ,315.707,
or 1874 per cent of the total exports.
The other two-thirds were carried in
foreign bottoms, and the freight
charges naturally went to the foreign
owners. The American merchant ma
rine. however. is gaining today rather
than losing in its carrying trade.
The report refers to the movement
of money due to the smuggling of for
eign-made liquor into dry United
States, although these expenditures
are not included in the balance Of
trade. 1t says. that estimates have
been made that expenditures for
these liquors run from s10.oo0,09o to
$3.50, ,0ao. 900 a year. The department,
however, says that there are plausible
statistics to prove that the amount so
expended is not less than $40. 200, 900.
