Holland, the country where

claim worthless swamp to
provide a site for the Olympic games
of 1928 at Amsterdam.
Five thousand plies from 40 TO 90
feet in length were driven into the
ground before any building or land
scaping could be done. All these de-
tails have been taken care of in COM

n EN YORK; DeCemDeT It
N Base BAH players were shunted
NJ hither and yon this week at
4 the major league sessions
here. but the majors have not
finished shaking their feather beds
and performing other little house
cleaning tasks There will be more
trades and sales of players between
now and the first day Of the 1928
season.
While players were being trans
ferred at the New York meeting of
the base ball magnates many feelers
were put out that should result I'm
new PLAYER deals of considerable
interest to fandom.
FRANKLY the major league owners
are a bit worried because the outlook
for the 1928 season does not promise
rip-snorting, exciting, free.tor'ali
fight. Instead it looks like next year
will see a mOnotOnOus continuation OF
the fight made by certain clubs In
1927 to crawl up in the second divi-
sion while this years first division
teams again contend for the pennants.
In a general way the second division
teams of both the National and Amer
lean Leagues gained nothing by the
deals made this week. There may be
trading material in the first division
clubs, but the managers have chained
it down fast.
Tigers After More Talent.
The Detroit club IS eager To make
more trades. The St. Louis Browns
by no means have finished their
renovating. Phil Ball, owner of the
Browns. will renovate anything on the
team except three or four players
whom he happens to like. The Cleve-
land club is anxious to do some swap
ping.
The Philadelphia Athletics would
feel much happier if they We're sure
they had a dependable first baseman.
They will have Joe Hauser back with
them and if he comes through he will
he as good as anybody. II he doesn't,
Connie Mack will look sad next sum
mer. If the Athletics had a sturdy
first baseman like Harry Davis of old,
what a load would be lifted from
Comics shoulders.
The New York Giants are willing
to improve their team. During the
big league meetings, three consulta
tons were held with the boss of the
Giants by others who wished to learn
what he wants. Ii they can't pro-
duce it. it will be useless to try to
compromise. John J. McGraw doesn t

Of such finishes II the results are
to be ali one expects.
All textures are not suitable
for all rooms. The small room,
for example, requires different
treatment from. the large one, and
the light room from the dark one.
And the ceilings cannot usually
be textured like the walls. The
formal room, also, rarely is finished
with the same type of wall as the
Informal room.
Because a heavy texture in the
wall finish has tendency to make
a room look smaller, such tex.
lures as the Spanish and similarly
shaggy finishes must De reserved
in which there are large, unbroken
wall surfaces. The small room
requires a light stipple or an al
most smooth troweled texture.

instructed its lawyers to bring action
in the courts to force the exchanges

false and misleading statements to
the effect that they have settled their
trouble with the mounters. The
communication was received and

A special communication to the
membership of the Ohio State Feder-
alton of Labor was read. The COM
munication states that during the
Middletown convention of the fedora
ton July 1922, 1927, the delegates by
unanimous vote, declared themselves
emphatically in favor of several pro-
grams for the coming year. One of
these was, the widest and most effect

political policy. Another is the fa-
nous Slatmyer case, case which in
wolves one of the basic provisions of
the workmen's compensation law.
Another is the financial request
which is made to the affiliated organ
izations to carry on the work. The
communication was received and laid
over under the head of good and well
fare. Under this head the commun-
ication was again discussed and mo-
tion to lay over until the next meet
ing, when Stanley Ogg, who attended
the Middletown convention, would be
present and explain the same more
thoroughly. The motion carried.

mitted a communication regarding

ed of the fire fighters of the United
States and Canada, has advised that
it has been the custom of the asso-
citation each year to cooperate with
the National Fire Protection Assoc
citation in its campaign of education
on the necessity of fire prevention.
The same was received and ordered
complied with.
Another communication from the

cal unions was enclosed and the re-
quest was made that the secretary of

the stove mounters again reported on
their grievances with the Estate Stove
Company, and that they still consider
their products unfair. They also re-
ported that the Barry Furnace Com
pany, which is said to be part of the
Estate, is also unfair. They further
state that they have held several con-
ferences with Barry.

structed to write the manager of the

club for their cooperation in making
Labor Day a big success in Hamilton.
The executive board reported that
they met with the management of the

complaint of the local Retail Clerks

they came to no agreement and that
they now abide by the request of the
clerks to consider them unfair. In
order to comply with the company's
request they state that the whole con-

would have to be changed.
From all appearances the meeting
Tuesday night was one of the best

POWERFUL LOBBY
Being Formed To Wipe Out
Inheritance Tax

Washington.-The largest tax lobby
in the nations history is being mobil
lied here to have Congress repeal the
Federal estate or inheritance tax this
winter.
The lobby is directed by the Ameri-
can Taxpayers League, with former
Congressman Frank w. Mondell as
general counsel.
If the tax is repealed and the mat
ter left to individual States, it will be
an easy matter to have State legisla-'
lures repeal such legislation on the
ground that States like Florida is at
tracing millionaires because it has a
constitutional provision against an in
heritance tax.
The question was before the last
Congress. Leading opponents are
Congressman Green of Iowa, majority
leader of the House Ways and Means
Committee, and Jack Garner of Texas,
minority leader of the same commit
tee.
Both men charge that the movement
for repeal, if successful, will next turn
