luncheon table. but all Boss Bucky
got out of the session was fine
fountain pen presented by Schalk,
while Raw was the recipient of eff
fusive thanks. That was all.
Unless the deal about which Har-
ris, Schalk and Moriarty conferred
Yesterday comes to a head. ii would
seem that the Nationals got little out
of the trip of their representatives to
the Chicago sessions. The two col
legians who have been tentatively
signed by the Washington club will
not be available for service until
after their graduation in June, and
then, of course, they will be more or
less CANDLES.
New Managers Merely Talk.
1t appeared that trading material
was about as scarce as hens teeth
around the Chicago session. Many of
the managers. and especially the new
ones in the big leagues. were at hand
to do a lot of talking. But there
their efforts ended. Evidently the
boys are content with what they have,
or else they feel that their material
Is far better than anything any rival
boss wants to give away.
SO outside of the mere prospect of
a deal some time this Winter, the
legians, the scheduling Of few more
Spring exhibition engagements and
the signing of an umpire for training
camp and road exhibition work, the
Nationals got nothing.
Grif, Harris & Co. might just as
we'll have remained in Washington

BEATING BY LEVINE

BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, December 17.-Tommy
Milligan, who now holds the European
middleweight title, is still smarting
over his defeat at the hands of George
Levine.
This occurred while Tommy was
over here last Summer and put him
out of big wad of money, as Mill
gan practically was matched to meet
Mickey Walker, who then held the
welterweight title.
Charley Cook has had several offers
to take George across the big pond
but the money is not quite what he ex
poets. Cook seems to take It foi
granted that his boy will get none OF
the better of ii on the other side and
wants to be well paid for his trouble
The old bugabOO OF bad eyes is wor
rying Bud Taylor. Bud is now sport
ing the bantam title by virtue Of de
cision of the Illinois boxing board and
1t is a pity that he must give up the
gloves for several months. Bud thinks
he will be all right in that time.
Looking back through the pages OF
pugilism the chances are against Tay
lor fighting as effectively as he did
before the operation. Joe Shugrue
one of the best lightweights OF his
day. had to give up the game for good,
This after he had stopped Benny

REVIVED DUTY UNLIKELY
American Treasury Officials HOW ever, Investigating German Steel Methods,

Washington, Oct 2S P-Reimpo- sition of the countervailing duty on German steel and rolling mill ex- ports to this country is considered unlikely by treasury officials on the basis of the report of the mixed con- mission which investigated the Ger man industry.
 The report, which was made pub lie here today by customs authorities stated definitely that no bounty Is paid in Germany on exports Of pig iron nor on rolling mill products when exported direct.
 While the report did state that certain price concessions were al lowed on finished wares manufac- tured from rolling mill products un- der an agreement between German steel producers and consumers, the treasury is not certain whether this actually constitutes a bounty.
 The countervailing duty on Ger man steel and iron was ordered last May by the treasury on the grounds that the industry received a bounty. At the request of the German gov ernment the order was suspended pending the investigation by the commission representing the two 1 governments.
