/ POOL IS PLANNED
u. S. Manufacturers viii Use
Big Supply to Fight Huge
Price Advances.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December Plans
for operation of the newly formed
$40,000,000 buying pool to stabilize
rubber prices call for purchase of a
minimum of $30,000,00 worth of rub
Der. Wall street hears.
Plans are incomplete, but 1t is
understood that the interested manu-
tacturers have contracted to pay nom-
lnal assessments to provide working
capital for the pool. Practically all
OF the largest tire and automobile
manufacturers except Ford are in the
agreement. which is directed pri-
marily against British restrictive
measures to keep up the prices.
The organizers have in mind the
purchase of crude rubber in the open
market when prices are favorable
They will hold it through arrange
ments with banks.
Would Guard Against Advance.
The rubber would be available to
the manufacturers in the event Of ex-
cessive market advances, or held over
the market to guard against any vio-
lent advance. The General Rubber
Co, subsidiary Of the United States
Tire Co. will be buying agent.
The pool was suggested by Secre-
last year when prices went to $1.2O ?
pound. The National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce took up the
plan and aided in putting through the
agreement
The British restrictions established
Il total of standard production. When
the price fer quarter does not av-
erage AZ cents exports are reduced 10
per cent. The market has been de-
"lining recently. due to large stocks
or crude rubber and unsold tires, and
quotations are and cents below
the fixed price.
New Work Price Stifiens.
Prices on the New York Rubber
Exchange stiffened after announce
ment of the pool, but f. r. Hender
son, president of the exchange, said:
THE announcement important
though 1t was, naturally did not have
an extreme effect on the movement
on the exchange, which is governed
largely by supply and demand and
other basic conditions, rather than by
developments of an artificial nature"
Some of the interested companies
already have taken steps on their own
account to guard against a runaway
market. The United States Rubber
60. has operated it's own plantations
for many years, and the FireStOne
Co has been busy in the past year
with plans for developing its own
sources or supply. Harvey F'irestone,
president of the Firestone Co, esti-
mates that the pool can handle $4,000
tons of rubber.

MOST CHAMPS PAST
 3O YEARS OF AGE
Iitleh0lderS Are Nearer to 40
 Than to 20, Statistics Show

New York, March 20 Pl--Most of the champions in sports today arc beyond the age of thirty, William T. Tilden has asserted, and a study of the records gives substantial back ing 10 the national tennis kings view.
 IL reveals that many of the top notchers in athletics are closer 10 the forty mark, with age and experience more than holding it's own against the challenges of youthful ambition.
 College sports and golf were ex- cepted by Tilden but while cham. pions in the former sphere of actv- ity average around twenty, the facts on the royal and ancient game show age again largely triumphant.
 Bobby Jones. the amateur golf king, is in his early twenties, but Willie Macfarlane, Walter Hagen, Jim Barnes and Mac Smith, holders of most of the open or professional crowns. average well beyond thirty.
 Tilden himself gained the national tennis title six years ago but at thir- ty-two now he still rules the roost and is likely 10 be q favorite to hold his crown in spite of increasingly formidable challenges
 Helen Wills, who lifted the tennis championship at nineteen and Glen ra Collect, young champion among women golfers, are exceptions to tho

San Antonio, Tex, March oo.-- Here are the three bosses of the st. Louis Cardinals. or, if you prefer, Manager Horneby and his two as sistants, Otto Williams and Bill killeter.
 Hornsby entered the managerial ranks last summer, turning the Cards into q winning combination. With several months experience be- hind him Rog has high hopes Of getting his club into an even lofticr position this year.
 Williams was ono of Ty CobbS rlght-hand amen with Detroit in 1925. Killefer, you'll remember as former catcher for the Phillies and Cubs and more recently manager of tho other team.
 The three are here depicted work ing out an intricate play at the Cards camp in torrid Texas during the spring training grind.

There is probably moro interest in the preliminary game tonight at the state armory on Arch street be- tween the Burrtts and the National Guard Reserves, than there is in the main game. These two will stage a best two out of three series for the junior championship of the city and two hotter feeling teams could not be found in this state.
 At the present time, neither team is being given the edge by the ma jority of the fans but each is given an equal chance of winning tonight's game. The teams now stand even with one game won each from the other. The Burritts finished their practice sessions Thursday night and the Guard Reserves ended up last night.
 From both camps comes the word that the packers of the teams are confident that their champions will come out on top in the first game and there Is bound to be some sweet basketball when the two meet. Tho game will start promptly at 8 o'clock.
 This game is greeted by the basketball fans of the city as the classic of the year among the junior circles of the city. The two teams combined have the cream Of junior basketball players in their lneups and the rivalry between the two squads is intense. The Burritts pull ed q good piece of strategy by sign ing up "Hammy" Darrow, brother of the Guard Reserve forward. He has played on the high school team with Zaleski and will be an able run ming mate for that nasl. This game will also be productive of some bit ter Individual battles and the out come is very much in doubt.
 Both teams have large followings among the fans and these will all be on hand at the state armory tonight. The players themselves are all het up and arc eager 10 get inc series started because it will be then that the question of how the teams shape up. will be decided.
 "DiCk' Dillon will referee this contest also making it certain that efficiency will be the guiding word in the calling of fouls.

general rule but Mrs. Molla Mallory in tennis, Mrs. Dorothy Hurd in golt and Miss Mary k. Browne, star in both sports, are able representatives, of the older group Of feminine stars.
 Baseball's luminarieS resist the onslaushts of time perhaps to q greater extent than any other pas- time. Rogers Hornsby. champion batter of the National league, will not be thirty until April. but such stars as Cobb, Speaker, Collins, John son, Wheat, Carey, Hoilmann, Ruth and Covclcskie all are beyond thirty, most Of them closer to forty. At forty-thrce. Speaker is still among the games greatest batsmen.
 Washington has won the American league pcnnant for tEe last two years with a club whose members averaged over the thirty mark alto Gcther.
 In boxing. Jack Dempsey is thirty and Harry Grcr, middleweight cham pion until his recent defeat at the hands of Tiger Flowers, Is thirty ono, Rocky Kansas won the light weight title at thirty.
 Most Of the track and field cham pions are comparative youths, be- cause of the emphasis provided by college competition, but there arc many exceptions. Most Of the dis tance runners improve with age. Stenroos of Finland was close 10 forty when he won the Olympic marathon. Matt McGrath and Pat Mcdonald, also around forty have been at the top in weight tossing events for many years. McGrath has been on four Olympic teams.

 The Cardinals figure they have q great chance. Every member on tho club is striving for condition, realizing good start is c trcmen- dous advantage.
 This is a feature Of play Manager Hornsby is strcssing. He wants his team to get away in good style. A game in April, he figures. counts as much as one that is won in Sep tcmber and means much more to the clubs morale.
