The most significant feature of
our foreign trade is the growth in
exports and imports over 1928.
Exports Of wheat are expected to
fall off materially during the first
quarter Of the year. as Europe will
then look to the harvests OF Ar
gentina and Australia for supplies,
and, this may have an appreciable
influence in the relation Of the
comparative volume of imports
and exports.

Credentials Issued

Coffin had issued credentials not
only to the twenty-six men whom he
had named to replace those he
ousted- but also to twelve COM
mitteemen he appointed to take the
places Of men whose designations he
said he held.
The Shank-Jewett-Lemc fac
ton contended that some Of these
designations were unauthentic, dis
playing affidavits from two men who
said they signed papers they thought
were merely christmas presents

Coffin's agents denied use OF
money.
Lemaux had prepared to issue
credentials not only to the twenty.
six committeeman whose places

also to some Of those whose

He gathered the committeeman

Lemaux told the committeeman
that he was the proper man to issue

While this was going on, Criminal

largest to that country ever re-

N.B.F. WEAKENS
As BAL I more
WAIVERS
BY r. d. THOMAS.

More difficulties for the National
Baseball Federation in its attempt
to line up the East is seen in the
laxity Of Baltimore in the matter OF
arranging its plans for the coming
season, At this time there is con-
siderable doubt that Baltimore VIII
remain in the national organization.
Apparently there il doubt. too,
that Baltimore win have any sort
of organization to handle its sand
lot affairs. The Baltimore Base
ball Federation was disrupted by
the rumpus following the forced
retirement Of Baltimore from the
National Baseball Federation tour"
nament last season.
Baltimore defeated washington
and then was fired out for playing
ineligibles, the games being forfeit
ed to Washington. Washington
was then supposed to play Provt-
dence but Providence forfeited.
Then Washington forfeited to what
ever city it was scheduled to play in
the West.
So many forfeits have had a
dampening effect on the National
Baseball Federation in the East.
With Baltimore. the Eastern pio-
neer in the organization, showing
no desire to return after two years
Of experience in the federation there
is grave doubt that John Gourley's
dream of a real national sandlot
championship will be realized.
In it's first year as a National
Baseball Federation city, Baltimore
lost money. Ike Ruth. president OF
the Baltimore federation, was re-
sponsible for the Monumental City
joining the national body. He led
his outfit back into the venture last
year, hoping for an increase OF in
terest to put it over.
Then came the rumpus ana Ruth
and his associates turned against
the national organization, Ruth de-
claring his team had broken no
rules that were not winked at by
other cities.
And now, as Fred Turbyville, Of
the Baltimore Evening Sun APPLY
puts it, Admittedly a Moses is
needed to lead the amateurs out
of the wilderness" TurbyviIle de-
clares that Doctor William Bur
dick, elected a director in the Ma
tional Baseball Federation at its
Pittsburgh convention, docs not
know the roads"
The National Baseball Federation
named Doctor Burdick presumably
with the thought that he might
straighten affairs in Baltimore.

The RosenbIums, Of Cleveland, who

big basketball game scheduled for

the greatest forwards the game has
known. Sedron and Friedman, the

Those who figure the Palace team

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Willie
Hoppe, balk line king is $4,000
richer today as the result OF
beating Bob Cannefax, three

own game, 600 to 554, the match
coming to an end with the

Hoppe led all the way after
trailing through the first two
blocks. His victory didn't carry
the three-cushion title with it,
but billiard followers today are

KETONEN WINS VICTORY
IN MATCH WITH POPE

Eddie Pope went down to defeat
last night before Waino Ketonen
at the Mutual Theater. The first
fall went to Pope in twenty-seven
and one-half minutes with an ex.
IRENE hammer lock, but Ketonen
came right back on the next fall,
scoring it in nine minutes with a
reverse double Nelson. The last
fall had the fans on their feet
when, with head hold after head
hold, Pope floored Waino, only to
have the latter get Pope again
locked in the reverse double Nelson
and the match was over. This fall
took but twelve minutes.

It Can Be Done.
THE National Capital Sporting
Club, in it's opening enter
Il tainment in the spacious
Washington Auditorium, proved
one most remarkable thing. 1t
showed the possibility of staging
a silent bout. So far as this
writer's memory runs-and that's
quite some time back-no club
has ever been able to choke off
noisy seconds. Washington's new
club turned the trick.
From the minute Patsy Dono-
van, bucket in hand, came around
the corner of the hempen square,
II was q calm evening
Seconds out!" would be heard.
But no seconds were ever inside
the ropes. They played safe.
Not once through the four bouts
was a second heard to shout:
"Down stairs! Down stairs!"
Not once did a second howl and
beat the floor with his clenched
fist. They were there to be seen,
not heard.
Jimmy Lake, majordomo-in-
chief, flattened the members when
he asked them to refrain from
making any derogatory remarks
whatsoever" That "derogatory''
is a two-dollar word, and Jim
Moore, the demon motorist,
claimed today that he heard
blokes arguing over in Burleith's
two hours afterward regarding the
meaning of those syllables. What
ever the cause, the members were
gentlemen all, never once forget
ting the proprieties.
If the National Capital Sporting
Club can maintain this pace it

fist and sluff-sluff of feet on
canvas.
