The position of American rice
growers is excellent in world mar

commands somewhat of a premium
and the amount which Great Britain
will take this year is expected to be
high, in view of the fact that reports
from Burma and Siam indicate small

Offerings in the Louisiana district
are very limited, according to dis

leans and what little stock is avail
able is strongly held by few mills

100000 pockets of 100 pounds each,
which is less than a months supply

after the earthquake, are similarly
affected. and this falling off in de-
mand has naturally had it's effect on
some American steel mills.
The steel industry in the United
States just now is in a period of un-
certainty as to whether new busi-

Thomas Livingston Carlton
= Taylor. He has played base

OF the Lone Star State, travelling
from base ball engagement to base
| ball engagement in Pullmans, on
day coaches, aboard freights, in au-
tomoblleS, under covered wagons. on
| horseback, sometimes on mule
| back and often afoot.
He was born at MeXia Tex, Sep
tember II, 1895, and began pitching
for the best kid" club of that town
when 10 years old. At the age of 10
he moved to Franklin, Tex, and a
few years later was hurting for the
Independent Sluggers. an outfit with
no capital, but possessed of a burn
| ing ambition to step out and knock
the necks off teams in and about
Texas.
So the Independent Sluggers step

money in a town to get out of it.
sometimes they ate heartily and
| sometimes they went on a coffee and
doughnut diet and had to leave their
manager in hook for the hotel bill
But the World War finally gave
Thomas Livingston Carlton an op-
portunity to develop his base ball tai
ents. He was stationed with the
aviators at Ellington Field, near
Houston, and stabbed we'll for the
post nine. After the war he played
with the Brenham semi-pros and
prospered.
Taylor was popular with the Bren-

In 1920 Taylor broke into profess

Beaumont of the Texas League. That
was too much of job, so the next
year he shifted to Birmingham of the

sacker only. He remained with Bir-

ERNEST SHIRLEY.

q NOW HILL, in Greene County,
- n. C., is not such great town
as far as population is con-
cerned, but about 10 years ago it had
a great base ball team in the Snow
Hill juniors, and much of its great
ness was due to the southpaw pitch
ing OF Ernest Raeford Shirley.
Ernest was not so old then, having
been born in Snow Hill, May "a, 1901,
but he had speed aplenty and much
ION the ball" so every young team
that encountered the Snow Hill
Juniors was knocked for goal
Ernest liked pitching and when he
entered Oakridge Institute near
Greensboro. n. c., it did not take him
long to become the star slabman of
the nine. Then he went to North
Carolina University in 1919 still con-
sidering himself a pitcher and had a
mound job with the freshmen nine in
the Spring of 1920.
But Ernest could hit that apple too
we'll to be used only as "A boxman, so
on the varsity team of 1921 he was
employed in the outfield. where he
could be of use in every game. The
next Spring the Tarheels needed a
| first baSeman and Ernest was groomed
for that job. He proved a fair initial
sack guardian in 1922, but last year
| he was one of the best, if not the
| best, to be found in Southern College
ranks.
Ernest graduated from North Caro-
lima University in June. 1923, with a
bachelor of science degree. but had
expected to return the following Sep
tember for postgraduate work. Had
he gone back he would have been
captain of the nine the past Spring.
During Summer vacations, while a
college student, Ernest played with
Industrial League teams in the east
ern part of his State, and his efforts
were good enough to catch the eagle
eye of a scout of the Norfolk club of
the Virginia League.
Norfolk wanted him then, but Err
nest was not ready to give up college
base ball. However, he promised the
club he would give it first consider
alton if he went into professional
ranks. When Ernest was ready to
take the step last Spring Norfolk
surrendered it's option on him to the
Nationals.
Base ball was not the only sport
Ernest indulged in at North Carolina
Basket ball and foot ball appealed
to him, and last year he was a back
field man on the Tarheel varsity
eleven.
1t was in basket ball he received
his nickname, Mule. The moniker
was bestowed upon him by pal i'm

fensive ability al guard on the fresh
