MARINE PRODUCTS
in LARGE DEMAND
Oyster Prices Unchanged.
Dealers Report Plentiful
Stocks of Poultry.

There was the usual Friday morning
demand for marine products registered
at Municipal Fish Market and in the
wholesale. market district this morning.
Cold weather this morning held back
retailers, but later on they were very
much in evidence, and wholesalers had
supplies more than equal to the de-
mands.
Oysters were in heavier demand,
dealers reported. and supplies were
offered at prices which have prevailed
most CT the season, selects selling at
$3.50 and standards at $2.25 a gallon.
Barrel stock, not so much in demand,
were quoted at a wide range of prices.
size and quality being the determining
factors.
Poultry dealers this morning were
making efforts to get rid of supplies
held over from the holiday market.
Held-over supplies consisted chiefly of
turkeys, the demand for the king bird
having dropped off to a material extent
during the last hours of the holiday
market.
It was stated that much of the stock
left over is of the rougher quality, the
best of the surplus stock having been
sent to storage. Prices of the poorer
quality, many of them fresh. but thin,
were not quoted, quotations given only
on No. stock.
Additional receipts of rabbits in
creased the already fairly heavy sup
plies. Rabbits sold well during the
closing hours of the holiday market, it
is reported, persons feeling they were
unable to pay the price for turkeys
selecting rabbits or chickens. the outlay
being so much less.
A continued firm condition OF the
butter and egg markets was reported.
although dealers said the egg prices
are likely to take a drop in the near
future. Butter prices advanced frac-
ton of cent.
In the commission house district were
plentiful supplies of fruits and yege-
tables, Florida shippers supplying large
quantities of string beans. peas, squash
and other vegetables. This mornings
shipments reached here a trifle late for
the early morning trade, dealers stated,
and will have to be held over for to-
morrow'S market.
Dealers on the farmers line had sup
plies of various vegetables in excess of
demands, most of their supplies having
been held over from Wednesday,
market Prices of most commodities
this morning were about the same as
prices quoted the past few days.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

~ NE year before the Athletics

him. The managers demurred because
Of the large amount Of money demanded
by Jack Dunn for his pitcher.
Dunn never was one to let anything
get away from him. why should I
be?" he asked. IF the major leagues
wish to have my players they should be
willing to pay for them because they
insist on drafting whatever they can
for next to nothing as compared with

should be willing to pay a premium II
I have anything worth hard money TO
Them
Yet Dunn did not get anything like
the amount of money for Babe Ruth
that was subsequently demanded and
acquired by Harry Frazee, owner OF the
Boston American League club for Ruth
when he sent him to New York. Frazee
incidentally, put the Boston club hope
leSsly in the background in so doing.
It has been there ever since.
Frazee Had No Sentiment.
Frazee cared little for Boston senti-
ment. All his ideas of base ball were
based on the manner OF Con0ucLmg tne
theatrical business. At no time during
his career as a base ball owner did he
have that love of the game which In

Earnshaw was purchased by the Ath-
letics for a substantial sum Of money.
There was an arrangement between the
Athletics and Baltimore by which Con-

ALEX "ON CARPET"
AS RULE BREAKER
Great Pitcher Gets in Bad
With Cardinals After
Smashing Record.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ut. LOUIS, August 20.-Soon after
setting q new National League
record for games won at 373 VIC
~ tories, Grover Cleveland AleXan-
der, hero of the 1925 world series,
is in the bad graces Of the st. Louis
Cardinal management, facing at the
least suspension for breaking training
rules.
= The 42-year-old pitcher, who broke
the record of big Six" Christy Mathew
son, was sent home from New York
yesterday by Bill McKechnie, Red Bird
manager, after Alex disregarded the
managers warning that his next es-
capade would be his last.
President Sam Breadon Of the Cards
has not decided upon the final dispo-
sition of Alexander'S case, but he point
ed out Alex was told two weeks ago,
when he rejoined the team, he would
be given another chance and II he broke
training again he was through.
IT do not care to pass judgment on
Alexander,S case until have talked
with him." Breadon said. IT am very
fond Of Alex and do not wish to say at
this time whether will release him.
OF course I am giving my full support
to Manager McKechnie and If Nc
Ketchnie says this is final, then 1t Is. -
Alexander broke the National League
pitching record about 10 days ago In
the role of relief hurler against Burt
Shotton's PhillieS. }
It was Aiexander's refusal to be dis
ciplined that enabled the Cardinals to
obtain the famous l1urler during the
1926 season from the Cubs.

BATTING LEADERS
NOT FLAG THREATS
Standing of Clubs Reveals
Importance of Expert
Handling of Ball.

~ ETROIT leads the American
League in club batting, with
New York second and the
~ Athletics third. In the Ma
tional League Philadelphia
leads in club batting, with the Chicago
Cubs second.
But you will notice that in club field
ing the Athletics and the Cubs lead all
the rest. Detroit happens to be last in
club fielding and the Phillies are sixth.
There is one more factor to be con-
sidered. Among the four leading pitch
ers in the National League are Bush,
the four leading pitchers in the Ameri-
can League are Grove, Rommel and
Earnshaw of the Mackmen, and Wal
berg. Ehmke and Shores of the same
team stand sixth, seventh and eighth.
In the National League the leading
Pittsburgh pitcher is Grimes, the lead
ing Brooklyn pitcher is Moss. the lead
ing Giant pitcher is Mays, the leading
st. Louis pitcher is johnson. the lead
ing Cincinnati pitcher is Lucas, the
leading Philadelphia pitcher is Will
loughby, and the leading Boston pitcher
is Jones.
In the American League the leading
Yankee pitcher is Zachary, the leading
Detroit pitcher is Yde, the leading st.
Louis pitcher is Stewart. the leading
Cleveland pitcher is Terrell, the leading
Boston pitcher is Bayne. the leading
Washington pitcher is Marberry and
the leading Chicago pitcher is Faber.
We are not always referring to the most
valuable pitcher; only to the one with
the highest percentage.
After looking over the figures It Is
possible to conclude that leading club
must have good hitting and fine pitch
ing, but that it also must have an ex-
cellent defensive team. You can't win
a game by making runs, if you present
the other team with more.

FABER DAY SLATED
AT COM!SKEY PARK
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 20.-Urban RED"
Faber. whose pitching always has been
bright spot during the rise and de-
cline of the White Sox, had his day
today.
1t was Faber day at Comiskey Park.
Hundreds of friends and admirers Of the
40-year- right handler from Cascade,
Iowa. was here to help him celebrate.
Red" was slated to show his hurting
cunning against the Yankees and re-
ceive gold offering of several thousand
dollars.
Faber has been in base ball for a
years, IA of which he has been winning
games for the White Sox. He started
out as pitcher for st. Joseph's Coll
lege In 1908, and after two unsuccess-
full tryolts with Pittsburgh he was sold
to the White SoX. During his career
with team that has been mostly in
the second division he has won 216
games and lost 154. The earned run
average against him for all time has
been less than three runs a game.
urban Faber is my ideal of all
base ball player should be-" Charles A.
Comiskey, owner of the White Sox said
in eulogizing the pitcher. He is an
example for all American youth to fol-
low"

said Miller Higgins, when he was talk
ing about the American League pitchers
one afternoon.
= To date this year Earnshaw has at
least broken even with New York. hav-
ing won one and lost one. Against
Boston he has won two and lost one.
From Washington he has won three
and lost none From Cleveland he has
won four games and lost none. He has
defeated Detroit five times and lost
once. He has broken even with Chi
cago. He has won twice from the st.
Louis Browns and dropped nothing.
He has won six games from the
Eastern end Of the American League
and lost two Of them. That is a per-
centage Of $50. From the presumably
strong Western end of the league he has
won IS games and lost 3. a percentage
of .813.
Is there much wonder that the Ath-
letics have been a pennant winner so
far this year?
Whenever the Athletics are mention
ed Lefty Grove Is mentioned, but Grove
has not made the record that Earnshaw
has.
