ONE ON THE MANAGER

9 ERE is one they tell me about
IL van Graf1an, the new Amer
can League umpire, who am
told believes there is a different mo-
ton for every decision.
In game this spring against a
certain club having a new manager,
making his major league debut, Van
Grafian called a balk on one OF the
pitchers.
The manager fastened from his
position in the coacher's box at third
to take issue with the ruling OF the
new arbitrator.
young man, I can see you nave
nlenty to learn about umplrlng,
was the managers greeting.
"That makes us both even" re-
piled Van Grafian, lit is apparent
YOU have much to learn about man
aging"
The conversation at this point
became so torrid that the censors
of the best family newspapers
wouldn't pass it.

Gehrig Hustling
for Yanks

BIN ~ Ld Hoi NtOV
FEW YORK, May 16.--
N Lou Gehrig, Miller Hug
gins young first sacker,
is proving one of the most val
liable players on the Yanks
pay roll this season.
Gehrig's booming bat and
his play around first base have
been big features of the early
games played by the Gotham
outfit this season.
A hustler always, the Colum-
bia youngster is threat on
every ball pitched to him or hit
at him. He runs 'em all out,
whether they go to pitcher or
fence, and he tries to get every
thing that is hit his way in the
field.

catching such good ball for New
York.
Grabowski, after pulling several
good plays in the field in recent
series between the Yankees and Sox,
and driving in couple of runs, got a
big hand from the Chicago crowd. 1t
so happened that Bill Barrett was
the first batter in the inning that foi-
lowed Grabowskis good work
Now Barrett and Grabowski are
the very best of friends and 1t was
all in good nature when Barrett SAID
'Why didn't you catch and hit that
wav when you were with ChicagoY'
~"Well, it's like this" replied Ora
bowski, I'm with a good ball club
now and havest to play that way II
want to stick in the lineup"
Barrett Is now trying to figure just

to last year?

SLIGHT SURPLUS OF
LABOR IN MONTANA

Helena.-There is a slight surplus
Of labor in nearly all branches of in
dustry in Montana at the present
time, but conditions will probably i'm
prove within the next month or so,
according to reports received from
employment agencies and labor un-
ions throughout the state and by the
division of publicity and labor of the
department of agriculture.
Most of the demand for farm labor
is being met locally although in some
of the sheep raising districts there is
a light demand for lambers and other
farm hands. In the industrial cen
tiers of Butte, Anaconda and Great
Falls there are more men than Jobs
but the surplus is only slight and
about normal for this time of year.
When the agricultural season opens
in earnest there well be some demand
for men and this will no doubt take
portion of the surplus from the in
dustrial centers.
Four hundred and fifty Mexican
beet workers have been brought into
the Billings district for work in the
beet fields.

Shingle Production Declines
AS Roof Substitutes Appear

Helena.-Shingle production in the
state of Montana during the last five
years averaged 1,427,OOO pieces, ac-
cording to the state publicity division.
At the beginning of this period a
large percentage of the shingles were
manufactured from western red cedar
but there has been a very apparent
decline in single production and
most of it has been in the manufac-
ture of cedar shingles. Lumbermen
and forest officials give two factors
as responsible for this situation; ex-
haustion of the easily accessible ce-
dar which is suitable for Single man.
ufacture and the great increase in the
use OF wood substitutes for roofing.
The present single production is
that by small sawmills, from such
species as lodgpole pine and douglas
fir
