ing the name of the shipper and
when the shipment entered ware
house. The shipments out of the
warehouses to Sac Paulo or the ports
must be in the same chronological
order, and only as the coffee is wanted
for export. Moreover, it is exported
only as required to supply the for
eign consumption demands, as the
effect of the system is to cause for
eign dealers to avoid carrying stocks
and buy for immediate needs only.
Nobody will take the chance of carry
ing coffee with the supply so closely
controlled.
The system has BEN fairly success
full, although the price of coffee now
is about 4 cents pr pound lower
than one year ago, indicating that a
surplus is being moved. Although
planting is not directly restricted at
this time, it has been discouraged by
the control over marketing, and pro-
duction has not on the average of a
term of years increased. AS might
be, expected, the administration of the
policy is a subject of constant politi-
cal controversy.
The following paragraph is from a
recent market letter of Nortz & Co.,
well-known importers of coffee at
New York:
Friends of ours who are important
coffee planters. complain bitterly about
reduced output. They say that tbs
majority of the owners of the older
coffee estates cannot make any money
nowadays due to the heavy interest
charged they must meet result of
deferred deliveries in Santos and also
in consequence of increased wages and
heavier expenses caused in part through
the industrial development of the cities.
For the caring of thousand
trees, from so to S. Milreis is now paid
to the colonos as against something like
10 Milreis eight years ago.

ton of the area is subject to un-
timely frosts. In years of large crops
the price was very much depressed,
the national resources were curtailed,
and inasmuch as coffee is the main
dependence for supplying the coun-
try with purchasing power abroad,
the foreign exchanges were seriously
affected These conditions have
prompted the Government to inter-
vene several times with valorization
schemes. In 19O7-08, l9l1-l8 and in
192l-22 it bought large amounts of
coffee and withheld the same from
the market, financing itself mainly by
loans in New York and London. The
latest loan of this kind was for
$50,000000, placed in London and on
the Continent. The first two valori-
cation schemes were saved by short
crops following, which enabled the
Government to liquidate its accufnu-
1ations.
Experience taught that success in
efforts to stabilize the price depended
upon controlling the quantity of coffee
coming to market, and an elaborate
system was developed for regulating
the flow to the ports. Government
warehouses were built at eight or
more points in the interior, and all
coffee was required to pass through
these warehouses before going to d
port or to the Sac Paulo market, and
to leave these warehouses only as GER
ti6cates for shipment were quoted.
Loans were granted by the Govern
ment upon coffee in these warehouses.
In the coffee plan a survey is made
of the plantations fazendas," as they
are caled-and each producer is al

The detail of this survey is indicated

regulations of the Coffee Institute,

Lands Verdict Does Not
Make Ty and iris Free
Agents.
By Henry l., Farrell

Intleu Press STAR Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Decision
of Commissioner Lands in restoring
Ty Cobb and iris Speaker to places
on the reserve list in good standing
and the activity of American League
club owners in going after the two
stars makes it certain they will play
in the American League if they re
turn to baseball.
There is no doubt that two OF
three National League clubs would
like TO have either of the two rein.
stated players, but the baseball law
ties their hands, and makes them
American League property beyond
approach until the league surren-
ders claim to them.
Not Free Agents
The decision of the commissioners
got around a question of baseball
law, which, if construed in another
way, would have permitted the two
players to consider offers from the
National League.
IL they had been declared free
agents, instead of having been re-
stored to the reserve lists of the
Detroit and Cleveland clubs, they
could have sold their services for
the best price.
Efforts of the National League to
secure either player are now baked
by the rule which provides that no
player on a reserve list shall be ell
gible to play for any other club until
his contract has been assigned or
until he has been released. The dis
pute which may ensue may have to
so back to Commissioner Lands.
Senator's Want Iris
Washington already has made an
offer for Speakers contract and the
New York Yankees could and prob
ably would use either player II the
opportunity came Even the thrifty
Connie Mack might loosen up to get
one of the stars.
While it is almost dead GER
tainty that the two players will re-
main i'm the American League,
they will not play with clubs they
left.
President E. S. Barnard of the
Cleveland club has notified Speaker
he is free to play with any one in
the American League and President
Navin of the Detroit club has given
Cobb the same announcement.

Close In Shot Is important
One of Few Net Plays Best Made With One Hand
G. State Coach--
BY H. G. Olsen, Ohio State Coach

1T he snort, OF close IN SNOt,
is perhaps the most impor
tant shot a basketball player
attempts. Technique is important
in long shots, but the element of
luck is present there 10 a much
larger degree than in the case of
short shots. The short shot can
be made in such a way as TO be
practically a "sure thing"
The number of short shots which
a team gets during a game are com
paratively few, and since the short
shot presents such a fine chance to
score, 1t is highly important that
these attempts at the basket should
be deadly"
Generally speaking, in basket
ball game two hands are better
than one.s' but in the case of the
short shot this is not true, for the
"close in" shot can be made more
accurately with one hand than with
two-and at the same time is a
harder shot to guard than the two
handed shot,
In making this short shot the
player should first of all get up
in the air as high as possible, with
the shooting arm fully extended to-
ward the basket. Many players make
the mistake here Of getting a good
jump and then failing to extend the
arm fully. It seems merely a mat
ter of common sense TO know that
the longer you can keep the ball
under your control on its flight to
the basket, the less the chance of
error.
Another. important point is in the
way the ball leaves the hand. 1t
should roll off the tips of the fin
gers in such a manner that the palm
Of the hand is visible to the player
as the ball leaves the hand. In other
words, the hand is not behind the
ball pushing it on it's way-(this re-
suits in 'overshooting" in a hard"
shot)-but rather the ball is gently
Laid against the blackboard" and al
lowed to drop through the hoop. The
carom shot Cball hitting blackboard
first and then dropping through the
basket) is much safer than the other
method of shooting them straight
In"
Not these points in the illustra-
ton:
1. The high jump.
2. The fully extended arm.
3. The ball leaving from the tips
of the f1ngers-the palm Of the hand
toward the player.
