With CONTRACT
ft
PACE TWO

NEW YORK Dec. Is CA. P.)
Rogers Hornsby today loomed
as the central figure in one Of
baseball's biggest prospective deals
IS National league magnates en-
,b3rked for Chicago to attend the
Joint meeting of the two major
leagues tomorrow.
Unless Hornsby recedes from
his contract demands on President
Sam Breadon, the star second
baseman and Manager of the
SNpTld's Champions will be placed
on the market next month, accord
nipg, to information which reached
the magnates. At least two clubs,
the Giants and Cubs, gave indi7
cations Of opening negotiations
for his services.
~ n Pow Wow On Train
Neither Breadon nor other club
owners would discuss in detail
what was characterized as "the
most serious split in baseball as
they departed. Significance never
y yt.Aeless was attached to the fact
that Manager John McGraw of the
Giants, cancelled a Twentieth Cen
tury Limited reservation to occupy
TnE- same Pullman with Breadon
1 on q Pennsylvania train.
1t is a matter of common base
ball gossip that McGraw and his
own second base star, Frank Frisch
have been at. loggerheadsy The
Giant leader would jump at a
chance to replace Frisch with
Hornsby, not only as a, move to
: strentheh' the aclhB's 'fnffeld, but
, also to provide a counter metro
polftan attraction, to Babe Ruth.
The magnates pointed out that
!, probably the Giants or Cubs would
be prepared to negotiate for Horn
Shy, whose present player contract
-'raf+s- for an annual salary of $27,-
00G. President William Veeck of
sthe Chicago team, also was on the
same train with Breadon.
. Both Hard Headed
"Breadon and Hornsby are of
= the type that is hard to bring to-
(. gether," said one man close to the
situation. Both are determined,
: hard-headed men and the breach
+. between them is wide.
"Hornsby demands a new con-
: tract as manager for three years
. at-S salary, said to exceed $4,000.
. Bgeadon is willing to raise the pay
> check to $4,000, but that is as
+. far as he will go. Furthermore,
: he cannot see three year con-
(. tract"
Friends of Breadon pointed to the
/. fact that Hornsby's value as a
: player dropped last season with his

conducted at the State House at the

Resents Charges
Textile Men Seek to
Depress Cotton Prices

Boston, oct. 4-(Hl-John 5. Law
renee, head of the New England
council, in a communication to the
National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers today, urged that
steps be taken to counterfeit charges
from the south that textile men are
conspiring to depress prices of raw
cotton.
"The cotton mills do not wish
ruinous prices for cotton" said Mr..
Lawrence. stability in prices and
not rates which deprive cotton grow
ers of a profit in the most desira BILE
situatio
"The opinion that cotton sptnners
and manufacturers are interested in
depressing prices of cotton, which
has been inspired by loose takers
and demagogues is now all too pre-
valent in the south. The charge of
conspiracy to depress prices appear
ed recently in one of the Metropolitan
newspapers, and we are already be-
ginning to hear rumblings of consider
able emotion on this question in the
south, not from the thoughtful but
from the minimizing.
THE mills do not want ruinous
prizes. BY ruinous prices l mean
leevls which do not show fair and
reasonable return to the cotton grow
er. For one thing. if the south as a
whole is compelled to sell its cotton
at below the cost of production, the
growers will have no money to buy
cotton goods. such a situation would
seriously affect the outlet of one of
the best and largest cotton goods
consuming markets in the world"

Crowd of 100000 in Wild Greeting to
Hornsby and His National Champions
Greatest Demonstration Since
Signing of Armistice-Over
Half of Crowd Women, Many
Dressed in Brilliant Cardinal

Heroes

st. Louis. Oct. 4.-(P)-All the base
ball pride that has been swelling in
the st. Louis heart for SO years burst
forth in a glorious reception late this
afternoon when crowd of upward of
100000 damned the railroad yards and
the streets to welcome home Rogers
Hornsby and his Cardinal players.
The demonstration probably was the
greatest ever displayed in st. Louis
with the exception of that of the arm
istice declaration. The Cardinals came
home to bowling crowd of fans eager
to catch the first glimpse of the play
ers who had captured the National
League pennant and evened up the
worlds series.
The demonstration was music to the
Cardinals, jazz symphony of bombs,
whistles. horns, bells and plain, ordi-
nary yelling. Men and women swept
police lines away and the crowd that
choked the streets was so dense that
it required more than an hour for the
90 automobiles conveying the players
TO traverse the 80 blocks from the sta
tons.

other noise-making device.
When the parade reached the Jeffer-
son Hotel the players were smuggled
to their homes to escape their shout
ing supporters and get rested up for
tomorrow when they meet the Yankees
in the third game of the series.
The crowd started gathering in the
railroad yards more than two hours
before the arrival of the train. All
afternoon the fans trickled out TO
points of vantage. More than half, it
seemed, were women gaily dressed
with brilliant cardinal red flashing in
the crowds. Vendors of cowbells, rat
ties, pennants and cardinal banners
and rolls of streamer tape did much
business.

Idealism Applied in

Gathering At Washington

Washington, Oct 4-(P)-Public
support Of the ministrations of the
American Red Cross represents
idealism applied in a sensible, prac-
teal, sound way, to the real prob
lens of relief" President Coolidge
told the annual convention of the or
ganization in an address tonight.
Recounting the humanitarian SER
vices of the Red Cross in the San
Francisco and Tokyo earthquakes
and the more recent hurricane in
Florida, the president continued:
THE public has come to realize the
superlative ability of this organiza-
ton to cope with such situations
There is faith that all contributions
will be wisely, economically and hon
estly spent for the benefit of the suf-
ferers-none being used for purposes
of administration"
Declaring that "in this country we
| have no permanent class requiring
! charity" the president observed that
after all, human nature dones not
want permanent charity but perma-
nent Independence through the OPP
| portunity to work out its own des-
| tiny. 1t is at this point that the eco
monte well-being of a nation passes
| over into the deal. Great wealth be-
! longing to a few is not a condition
! that we see in this ciuntry, but rath-
err system of production and dis
! tribution where the great mass of
people shall be contributors to the
process and shall share in the re-
wards.
Under this system, toward which
we are -. constantly advancing in
America, prosperity and idealism
merge, and the cause of economics
serves the cause of humanity. The
| higher idealism. the true philan-
! thropy. is not that which, comes TO
| the rescue after the catastrophe but
rather that which comes through
! obedience to sound economic laws
which create prosperity among the
people that anticipates and prevents
the need of charity"
| Organization of the Junior Red
Cross among high school students,
the president said, was 'one of the
most promising of recent develop
ments" with its aim, the inspiration
in the youth of that fine spirit Of
service and self sacrifice which is so
| characteristic of the senior organiza-
ton" The junior groups also were
praised as helpful forces in fostering
international friendliness through
contact with similar organizations
abroad.

Hold Presque Isle
Man after Shooting
Of Son in Brawl

Presque Isle, Me-. Oct. 4.-(P)-1s-
rael Adams of Caswell Plantation is
in the Pressure Isle Hospital in a Sc
rious condition as the result of being
shot during drunken brawl at the
home of his father Charles Adams, in
Caswell late Saturday night. Today
the father was taken into custody at
his home by deputy sheriffs and taken
to Caribou for hearing on a charge of
assault with intent to kill his son.
Young Adams has a gunshot wound
in his side, and the fact that he was
not brought to the hospital until yes
terday lessened his chances of recov-
cry. The Adams family are farmers
and live several miles from Limestone,
the nearest village.
