experts by being far worse than
predicted.
The Giants, hailed by a majority
as probable pennant winners in the
National league. have suffered so
many CHASTITY reverses that only
consistent plugging can put them in
the running again.
Yanks Much Better
The YankS are much better off
than their metropolitan rivals. but
have been suffering from such a
miserable brand Of pitching that
Miller HugsinS is growing grayer by
the minute.
The Yanks are up there" but
have had a hard fight OF IT. This
is no march OF triumph. this 1929
campaign. as was the case last
year when the HIGGINS Horde rode
rough-shod over al opposition az
this stage OF the season.
The Athletics have overthrown
the Yankee ink which cost them
a pennant last season. This means
a great deal.
NOJ only the AS but the st.
Louis Browns are mighty danger
M foes this season. Higgins will
have to get pitching II he Is going
to keep his gang up in the running
all season.
Tough on Pa Knickerbocker
Faced with infield difficulties
and consistent poor play by almost
his entire personnel. John McGraw
by late May had been able only
to keep his Giants out of last
place. This Is no feat when one
considers that BROOKLYN holds down
the cellar post. and Brooklyn IS
even worse than the historically
bad Phillies ever were.
Compare this terrible situation
with the metropolitan baseball rec
ord OF the last nine years. Pen
nants were won IN this manner:
1920. Brooklyn CN); 1921, New
York (A): New York CN): 1922.

GERMANS LIKE CAVIAR.
Food Product Consumed in Greater
Quantity Than by U. s.

ASTRAKHAN up. - Germany has
supplanted the United States as the
worlds greatest consumer of Russian
caviar, Soviet government statistics re-
veal.
The citizens of the German Repub-
lie this year consumed more than half
of Russias entire export of caviar. The
United States, which for years was
Russia's best customer for the piquant-
tasting roe of the sturgeon, at. only
one-third the Soviet output.
Russia still enjoys a virtual world
monopoly on caviar, the product of
other countries being neither nearly
so large nor so good in quality as that
of the Soviet Union. This years pro-
duction increased to 100000 pounds,
valued at $4,000, 900 The greater part
was exported as caviar and is regarded
as too great luxury for the average
citizen of present-day Russia. The
finest grade retails for $3.50 a pound.

TWO LIFE SENTENCES
GIVEN TRAIN ROBBER
Tom Vernon, Ex.Cowboy, Will
Serve on Guilty Plea in Connec-
ton With California Wreck.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, December 19.-Tom
Vernon, ex-cowboy. was sentenced to
life Imprisonment in Folsom peniten-
tiary in Superior Court here yesterday
for wrecking and robbing Southern
Pacific passenger train near Saugus last
November 10. He was given two SEN
fences of life, one as an habitual Grim
inal. He confessed and pleaded guilty.
A peculiar legal twist served to bring
two life terms to Vernon. The count of
train wrecking provides an interchange
able penalty of life sentence or death.
The count of robbery Classics him as
an habitual criminal, in view of his pre-
vious penal record. The penalty of life
is mandatory.
Under the law an habitual criminal
is not eligible for pardon or parole.
Vernon has served five other prison
terms. in California, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania.
Vernon was apprehended in Okla
homa on suspicion of connection with
the robbery of a Union Pacific pasSen-
ger train near Cheyenne few weeks
ago. He admitted the California train
robbery but denied he had anything
to do with the wyoming hold-up.
