TOBACCO WAR IS
/. BREWING RESULT
OF HOUSE BILL
Would Require Publication
Of Statistics on Weed
Held in Storage.

BB Times Special
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Here is
news for smokers:
War is brewing between tobacco
growers and tobacco manufacturers.
An innocent-appearing bill intro
duced in the House by Representa-
tive Gilbert Of kentucky is the chief
cause of the ru1npus. 1t requires the
Secretary of Agriculture to collect,
four times year, public statistics on
leaf tobacco held in storage by grow
ers, manufacturers and dealers.
The bill is sponsored by the Bur-
ley Tobacco Growers Cooperative AS
ISOLATION. 1t is opposed by large to-
bacco companies.

president Of the cooperative associa-
ton, explains the situation thusi/
1--WE tobacco growers want to
know the truth, also.
Each year the tobacco manu-
features, due, we believe to in
complete statistics now collected by
the Government, show a large sur
plus Of tobacco in storage. This
apparent surplus tends to depress
the growers selling price on the new
crop.

consists of the poorest grades of
tobacco. We feel these poor grades

agent dubbed him with back in
Hopes teens, not knowing
how truthfully he ballyhooed
his man.
Schaefer, the son of a great
billiardist, has come into his
elimination at a later period
in life than did Hoppe, and will
hardly hold either his 1871 or
1872 title over the span of
years that did his predecessor.
Competition is keener these
days and there are a greater
number of young hopefuls COM
ing along. Both Hoppe and
Schaefer have appeared fre-
quently in Washington in the
past decade, and even in his
championship role, it is doubtful
if Schaefer would outdraw the
modest, gentlemanIy, clean-cut
Hoppe who is more comparable
to Walter Johnson than any
man in the athletic world we
can think of right now.

TODAY'S
SPORTORlAL
By. Kirk Miller

After having been cham
pion of one sort or another Tor
the last 20 years, Willie Hoppe,
who some of the older followers
of billiards are still calling the
boy wonder, is at last without
a title.
It was in 1906 that Hoppe,
then barely out of short pants,
wrested the 1871 diadem from
the French Guest, Maurice
Vignaux, and since that time
Willie has swept all before him
in that class.
Only last year the youthful
Jake Schaefer started to en-
croach on Hopes titles, taxi
ing the 1872 championship away
from him and followed along
last March to gobble up Willie's
18.1 championship. thereby leav-
ing the blond wonder bereft OF
any real crown.
However, the passing of
Hopes very last vestage OF

have watched his career from
the time he was srnooth-faced

few games he sOcked the ball
through. between and over the
infieIders more often than he
failed.
For three weeks or so he was
IN in the so-called charmed circle
of 800 hitters. Then came the re-
action. Gautreau's batting average
started to skid and kept right on
skidding until the end of the sea-
son.
Still everybody thought that he

play, that he'd come through in
fine style this season. That is,
everybody but opposing players
and managers. They agreed with
Connie Mack that Doc, with every
thing, including a fair batting eye,
was too little to get by.
Opposing players probably said
the same thing about Keeler when
Keeler broke in and about Maran-
Vile back in 1912. but you'll find
that when an opposing player is

There's Doc Gautreau. who has
been playing second base for the
Boston Braves. Gautreau is
midget. one of the smallest men
ever to reach the big leagues to-
day. He has everything but size.
Gautreau was college star long
before he ever stepped into organ
ized baseball. He was brilliant at
HOLY Cross along with Owen Car
roll, His fielding prowess brought
him several offers from big league
clubs long before he left college.
His batting, too, was good-at
HoIv Cross. Unfortunately, the big
leagues are something else again.
Doc made his debut on the pro-
fessionaI field with the Philadel-
mia Athletics. shortly after his
graduation last summer. Cagy
Connie Mack looked him over for
a couple of afternoons and made
his decision fast.
"It's no use," declared Connie.
"He looks like ball player and he
is a ball player. But, doggone 1t,
he's just too little for the lHg
leagues"
Gautreau drew his unconditional
release. Then he hobbed up with
the Braves. Dave Bancroft is half
the age of Connie Mack and there
fore twice as optimistic. Further
more, in Boston, the little fellow
figured to be a drawing card, An
important college baseball game
will draw more customers, partic
ularly with the Braves and Red
Sox going the way they have been

Wingfield's afternoon, that's all.
McNeely's opening single became

way. He passed Harris with one
down and Rice singled. With two
gone, Judges infield hit filled the
bases. Rigney fumbled Bluege' $
hopper over the box and Harris
was in. Peck's slashing single
down the left field line brought
over Rice and Judge.

All OF the money will be used to
