Opinion may vary as to whether Rogers Hornsby will do any better, if as well as Joe Mccarthy did with the Chicago Cubs, but the one-time Rajah of all hitters has wasted no time starting S his reconstruction program
 Whether the Cub shakeup is of wholesome character, as many ex- pect it will be, the team certainly will be considerably altered in per- sonnel as well as spirit by the time the 1881 campaign gets under way.
 Hornsby has his own ideas about baseball and has the courage to stick to them. He is not loquacious but he is plain-spoken. He is a hard fighter and expects his play CTS to be.

 The Jockey Club, controlling pow CT on the New York turf, has con- trived ruling to boost Gallant Foxs earnings from S32S,165 to S341 ,365, a worlds record. It is reached by placing a value of S13,- 200 on the FoX's various trophies, heretofore not counted in the win nings of American horses.
 The Jockey Club, perhaps, was swayed by a desire to wipe out the disputed worlds mark of $335 ,000, credited for years to the French horse Ksar This figure always has been looked upon as inflated and misleading, since it was based on a par value of 20 cents per French franc, whereas it was worth only about eight cents on the exchange while Ksar was galloping around the tracks.

 It is not quite clear why the Giants need another third base man, with Freddy Lindstrom among the best in the business, but they have acquired one of the Pacific Coast league aces in Johnny Vergez' a star for two years with Oakland.
 Vergez hit 1928 with the Oaks last year, but Eddie Murphy, writing in the Oakland Tribune, says:
 Night baseball is blamed for spelling another big year for Yer |gez. The third sacker was going big in the daylight, but slumpeo just as soon as the night play started, his average dropping to .3l4. He is a real third sackar and about the nearest thing to Willie Kamm when it comes to making his work look easy"

RUSSIAN TRADE
PUZzLINC CASE
Grain Only One of Products
Flooding u. s. Markets
AT Low Costs

WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.-tR-
The American grain transactions
OF the Russian government have
added just one more item 10 a con-
siderable list of Soviet commercial
activities which have disturbed
treasury officials for the past year.
Nearly twelve months ago the at
tention Of the treasury was direct
ed toward plans OF the Soviets 20
import several products into the
United States. 10 Immediately set
q close watch On the shipments. but
found itself baffled by inadequacy
OF existing American laws to deal
with the situation in general. Lack
OF diplomatic relation made virtual
ly impossible the task Of ascer-
tanning the cost OF production Of
the various articles In Russia.
Under present law the tariff on
any article imported could be rails
ed II IL were found Russia was SELL
ing 1t here below its cost Of pro-
duction or below the selling price
In Russia. This was established
only IN one article, safety matches,
and the anti-dumping act was ap-
piled raising the tariff to bring
their American price into competi-
ton with the domestic product.
Proof Of the selling price Of
matches in Russia was compare
lively easy to secure because match
production there Is a government
monopoly and the selling price
high. On other articles, however,
neither sale prices nor costs Of pro-
duction could be determined.
Many Complaints
Complaints from American firms
were received that Russia was
dumping coal. lumber. pulpwood
and manganese into the United
States. The treasury ordered lum-
Der and pulpwood barred on the
ground 1t was produced with the
use Of convict labor-a tariff law
clause permits exclusion Of any
thing into the production Of which
convict or forced labor has entered
but at hearing held on both pro-
ducts the evidence was held in
sufficient and the embargoes were
rescinded.
While the pulpwood did not COM
pete with American production 1t
replaced supplies obtained from
Canada and was considered indi-
rectly detrimental to some Ameri-
can interests. The lumber was
said to come into direct competi-
ton with American production but
evidence was adduced that the
Russians made careful effort to
separate convict-made lumber for
sale In European markets.
The Russian threat to invade the
American coal markets, while
bringing q protest from anthracite
dealers. was not regarded as seri-
, GUS. Treasury officials held that
little Russian coal could be deliv-
cred to the American seaboard but
pointed out that 1t might be used
TO take from producers In this
country their immense Canadian
market.

thought Sammy, as he spread his wings.
"Chatterer may have hidden some nuts
there. Nothing would please me better
than to find some nuts or acorns hid

So Sammy new straight for the tree
that Blacky the Crow and Mrs. Blacky

Hooty, so he kept a sharp watch for
them. He didn't see them. So at last
he came to the tree in which was
Blackys old nest. Sammy alighted in
the top of the next tree. He could look
over to that nest. Somehow the nest
didn't look just familiar. Sammy
looked long and hard.

Once more Sammy spread his wings
and this time he new right straight
across and alighted in the tree where
the nest was. He was silent. He turned
his head this way and turned his head
that way to make sure that nobody was
watching him. Then he few up to the
edge Of the nest and looked in. What
Sammy saw made him almost lose his
balance. Yes, sir; he almost lost his
balancei He just saved himself from
falling backward OF the edge of that
nest. What he saw was an egg! It was
q big egg. 1t was dull white. At the
very first glance Sammy couldn't be-
lieve that it really was an egg. He
thought it must be little ball of snow.
But after the first good look there was
no doubt in Sammy's mind. He knew
that he had discovered a secret, and
he knew that that was no place for him
to be. You should have seen how has
tily he looked around and in what a
hurry he new away from there. He felt
that he couldn't get away from there
too quickly. You see, that was o dan
