Bitter Two Months Fight Ended
Today BY City Council

Boston, Feb. 1: R-A bitter two
months fight over Sunday baseball u
which has waged between the city
council and the Boston Braves, was
ended today by the councils approx
al of the Braves application for a
Sunday permit. Only two council
men dissented.
The succession Of charges and
counter charges accompanied by
such epithets as "racketeer," "extor-
ZIONIST" ''blackmailer" and New
York piccolo player" was not
brought to ii close at the council
meeting until a last fling had been
taken at Emil Fuchs and Charles
r. Adams. president and vice presi-
dent respectively of the Braves.
Councilman William G. Lynch, the
man accused by Fuchs OF asking
brides OF $1,000 a piece for himself
and L. other counciImen. and his
colleague, Frederick +. bowling,
both voiced opposition to the permit
in long speeches.
Finally, however, the council
passed the application by voice vote

PIRATES BOLSTER
Up WEAKER SPOTS
Strengthened Team viii Look
Like PtnDant Winner

New York, Feb. - NuP)-No Ma
tional league club has made more
efforts to bolster the weak spots
than the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Pirates had one of the hard
est-hitting teams IN the league last
season, but they were weak defens-
lively at first, shortstop and left
held. The pitching staff, too, was
far from stable.
With tighter defense and strong
er pitching. the Pirates look like
pennant contender from April to
October.
Three of the Pirates recruits have
all indications of developing into
first year stars. Steve Swctonic, the
young right-hander from lndianapo-
lis. is counted on as a regular men,
Ter OF the pitching staff. He Won
10 games and lost last season and
turned in three victories In the little
world series against Rochester.
Larry French. who won II games
and lost II for Portland, comes up
highly recommended for his brilliant
work in the Pacific coast league.
The third youngster who is billed
for regular berth is Jimmy Stron-
or. who was regarded as the best
player in the Western league. He
batted 1867 for Wichita, including ~
home runs, 10 triples and ~ doubles,
and stole II bases.
Veterans will form the backbone
of the pitching. They include Jess
Petty, the silver haired southpaw
acquired along with Harry Riconda
from Brooklyn in exchange for
Glenn Wright; Burleigh Grimes. Lee
Meadows, trying a comeback; Ray
kremer: Carmel Hill, Joe Dawson
and Fred Russell.
Other newcomers are Henry
Meme. Highlander from Kansas
City: Leon Chagnon from the Lynn
New England league club: Homer
Blankenship from Dallas: and Glenn
Spencer from the Columbia South
Atlantic league.
Charles Hargreaves and Ralston
Hemsley will battle for the irst
string catching berth and Claude
Linton from the Decatur Three-I
league club. John O'Connell from
the Canton Central league club; and
Roy Spencer from Indiana polls. will
vie for the third place.
Earl Sheely, formerly with the
Chicago White Sox, is slated to play
first base. He batted .3s2 for Sac
ramento last season. getting 24O hits
and driving in 1O2 runs.
Sparky Adams will be shifted back
to second base and Pie Traynor will
be moved from third to shortstop.
Dick Bartell, who played splendidIy
at second base and shortstop during
the last season, may upset these
plans and win himself regular
berth in the infield. Stroner is
scheduled TO complete the infeld al
third base, but will have competition
from Riconda.
The Waner brother will occupy
two of the outfield bcrths, but there

Huge Loan to Be Issued
 At End of February

Paris, Jan. 24 R-The sinking fund committee will issue . loan of from six to seven billion francs at the end of February bearing interest at four and one half per cent. The operation will be in the nature of both conversion and consolidation.
 One object of the loan will be to convert tho three billion franc loan secured on tho receipts of the to- bhcco monopoly. This loan was issued in 1926 at high rate of interest. The new loan will also be used to consolidate national defense Issues.
 The price on the new loan has not been fixed but Is expected to be such as to represent yield of i've per cent. The operation will involve no money payment being merely an exchange of securities.
 The operation h expected to have an effect on tho market. however. by sending down the price of mon- ey. It is also claimed that the new loan will represent considerable economy both to the sinking fund committee and the treasury and will accelerate amortization of the public debt.
