Houston, winners Of the Texas
pennant last year and 1923 cham
pions of Dixie, had two outstanding
players. One was Pitcher Bill Hal
lahan and the other was Shortstop
Heinie Soluble.
The Cardinals quickly picked up
Hallahan since Houston is a st.
Louis farm" but they didn't need
another shortstop SO they permit
ted Soluble to be sold to Detroit.
The Tigers needed a good shortfield-
er to replace Jackie Tavener, traded
to Cleveland.
Heinie was up with the Cardinals
in 1927 to help out while Tommy
Thevenow nursed a broken leg. He
is % years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall

KNITTING. is FORBIDDEN
DURING COUNCIL DEBATES
Unwritten Law Is Laid Down. by
Masculine Member OF
London Body.

LONDON (P.-Knitting needles may
not click an accompaniment to the
debates in the London County Council
This unwritten law was laid down
with emphasis by an irate masculine
obiector when Dame Beatrice Lyal,
member for East Fulham, produced a
pair during a recent all-night session
and proceeded to click OF intermlnaoie
hours of debate with as many inches OF
warm wooden SOCK.
No woman has yet had the hardi-
hood to produce knitting needles. IN
the House of Commons. but In the
past men M. P.'s have done so. :.
The most famous knitter IN Parlla-
mentary annals was one Of the Wason
brothers, who we're well known to
former generation at Westminster.
They were such big men that they were
prominent figures wherever they ap.
peared. and the spectacle OF one OF
them, a man feet tall and pro-
portionately hefty, plying his knitting
needles throughout debates in the
house must have been incongruous His
fellow M. p.'s apparently thought
nothing of it, however, for there are

CORN PRICES, GAIN
IN EARLY TRADING
Increased Values in Argentina and
at Liverpool Affect
Chicago Pit.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January i7.-Bulging
prices for corn in Argentina and at
Liverpool sent the corn market here
soaring anew today in the early deal
ings. All Chicago deliveries of corn
jumped to new high price record for
the season. Opening at "a of to hs up,
Chicago corn soon scored general gains.
Wheat oats and provisions were also
stronger, with wheat starting unchanged
to * advance and afterward holding
near to the initial figures.
Sharp advances in corn values today
at Buenos Aires. as much as 21s
bushel in some cases, were promptly
seized upon here as confirming acute
need of further rain to relieve drought
in the Argentine corn belt. Mean
while, the Liverpool Corn Market was
reported as 27s up overnight for United
States corn, which was still underseli-
ing corn from Argentina.
An additional stimulus to corn buy
ing in Chicago today was an estimate
current that the probable export sur
plus of the 1929 Argentine corn crop
was only 1877 900, 900 bushels based upon
existing conditions. This compared
with actual shipments of 228,000, 600
bushels for 1928 and 200 ,000, 900 BUSH
els for the last preceding crop year.
Profit taking sales, which increased on
today's advance in corn here, were gen.
orally well taken.
