Trading was relatively active, both
sides of the market showing re-

nothing to confirm this could be
obtained in any quarter.

LABOR ROW. IN
BERLIN SEEN

BERLIN, Oct. 3.-Before the
echoes of President Won linden
burg's eightieth birthday celebration
had died away. fresh labor troubles
developed here today. The street
railway employees voted to go on
strike tomorrow. Unrest 10 gather
ing in other branches OF labor and
other strikes are threatened.
Several national strikes for higher
wages are looming on the labor
horizon. Such demands have come
from railroad, metal. textile, dock
and transport workers, and from the
coal miners.
The chief fear in financial circles
Is that higher wages would result in
increased prices, which would hinder
Germany's export trade.
Despite the labor unrest, the en-
ployment situation is better than 1t
has been for two years. Idle work
ers are estimated at only SS1, 900
throughout the nation.

Inmates indicate a total cost of
$3.50, 900 900 for the work. he said.

Mike Kelley Makes House.

Minneapolis. Feb. 10 - LAS - A
housekeeping in the infield marks
the first step Of Manager Mike kel-
ley to prepare his Millers for the
1927 American Association cam
paign.
Kelley is dropping Monl, Fowler,
third baseman, and Bill Black, second
basemen. In their place will be
Homer Ezzell and Sammy Bohne,
both former major leaguers.
Fowler and Black fizzled badly last
year and the first base post was none
too well handled after Red Jourdan
was sent to New Orleans in the
Southern Association.
Dick Lotus came in from the out
field to play first but he will assume
his old position this year and Bill
Sweeney, 21year-old star of the
Wichita, Western League, club will
start at the initial station.
Emmer at ShOrtstOp
Frank Emmer, who came to the
ace Ford deal with Cincinnati, will
share the shortstop job during the
training season with an unnamed
player coming from the Reds.
Ezzcll, purchased by Kelley from
the Fort Worth, Texas league club,
and Bohnc, bought from Brooklyn,
are expected to steady the Miller
infield and If they do and if Emmcr
and Sweeney come through, Kelley
will have his first good inner de-
Tense since he joined the local club
four years ago.
The Miller manager seeks to re-
juvenatc his pitching staff by re-
calling Leo Moon and Pat Malone,
crack pitchers of the Dcs Moines,
Western League club, and by adding
two other pitchers from the majors.
Kelley also has called Nelson
Greene from the Nashville, Southern
league club. Greene and Moon are
southpaws and all three Of the re-
called hurlers are young, making up
somewhat for the age Of other Miller
hurlers, such as Jimmy Middleton,
Wilbur Hubbell and RUDE Benton.
Middleton won 20 games last year,
being the associations third best
moundsman, and Moon and Malone
together won about SO games for the
pennant winning Des Moines club
So this trio will be depended upon
for the bulk of the Miller hurting.

RUDE Benton pitched good ball for

RUTH RETURNS

WITHOUT NAME
Terms Called For Same Sal
ary as BcfOre-Belieycd to
Want Long Contract

New York, Feb. l0-Np-Echocs
of the first shots fired in Babe
Ruth's long expected contract war
with the New York Yankees sounded
through the baseball world today.
Hardly had Colonel Jacob Rupert,
president Of the Yankees, announced
that the salary conflict was on than
the Bambino levclcd his guns on New
York, all the way from Hollywood,
where he is making a movie.
The Babe has returned the con-
tract Rupert offered him unsigned,
he said, because the terms called tor
the same salary he has received for
three years-S52,O0
I'm not saying what terms | want
or what | would accept Ruth said.
"That's to be worked out with the
club owner But unless the terms
are satisfactory I'll quit baseball. |
wouldn't like to do that of course"
Babe is thought to have demanded
a contract covering several years
with figures in the vicinity Of $780,
900 per season.
Has Other Incomes
Babe said that his income was not
necessarily dependent upon his dia,
mond activities, and would not bt
less than his present salary if he
were to quit baseball entirely. AL
though he has just completed 10
week vaudeville tour and is now en-
I gagged in film work, he wouldn't have
to depend on them either, he said.
The Cine innati Reds announced
they had traded Eddie Roush, cracl
outfielder, to New York for George
Kelley, Giant first bascman.
The deal, one of the most unex
pected and sensational in winter o
wholesale changes and barter, wa
completed yesterday. No cash wa
involved.
