Tho late Joe McGinnity once remarked, in connection with a pitching assignment at the age of about 52:
 "The arms still pretty fair but my pins aint what they were When the pins start to crack up, a ball-player's about through"
 Measured by the salaries their owners collect, two of the most expensive pairs of pins" in the major leagues are the cause of no little concern this spring I refer to the under -pinning of Babe Ruth, who at $S0,OO0 receives perhaps three times as much as any other American Leaguer, and Rogers Hornsby, whose $40,000 salary prob ably is double that of any other National League performer.
 To be more specific, Ruth's char ley-horse and Hornsby's ailing hee may hasten the reluctant but .nont the less marked physical decline of these two super-stars. In spite of difficulties, these two still may prove to be well worth the re- markable sums paid them for a single seasons work Under any circumstances, they will give op- posing pitchers lot to worry about.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-A corn growing country, Hungary, is po- tential producer of pork and pork products that may compete with the United States in the markets Of south central Europe, says Louis C.. Michael, economist in the Depart ment of Agriculture.
 Hungarian wheat and flour, he says, already is competing with the American product in Austria and Czechoslovakia
 Michael forsees no increase in the Hungarian demand for Ameri- can tobacco, but believes an ex- banding textile industry will prob ably absorb increasing quantities of American-grown cotton.

Ruth and Hornsby have curiously parallel careers, though they are as different in personality as they are a contrast in batting types.
 Each came up to the big show about the same time. Ruth broke in as a pitcher with the Red Sox in 1914, landed a regular job in 1915 and began his real switch to the outfield in 1918. Hornsby went up to the Cardinals in 1915 as a shortstop, landed a regular infield job in 1916 but did not settle down to second passing until 1920.
 Each was obtained for the pro- verbal song, Hornsby costing only $500 although Ruth's sale price of $2900 was fair-sized for his day.
 Each developed into the greatest long range clouter of his league. Ruth's mighty mauling outdid any long range work of the Rajah but Hornsby, over a five-year stretch from 1921 to 1925, excelled all rec ords by averaging better than 400 a season.
 Hornsby's 15-year major league batting mark is 1863 only four points lower than Ty Cobb's life. time mark for "A years. Ruth's 1s- year percentage is .348.
 Each is a league-leader in home run totals, although Hornsby's ag- gregate of 278 pales by comparison with Ruth's 516.
 Hornsby has led the National League seven times in total bases. Ruth has equalled Ty Cobb's record of six in the American League.
 The records of Ruth and Horns by run parallel on page after page of the famous Little Red Book. , They monopolize the marks for lcng distance base-hitting, no mat ter how they are figured.
 Each figured in record deals. Ruth's release from the Red Sox in 1919 cost the Yankees sl35,000. Hornsbys sale to Chicago by Bos- ton was reputed to involve $200,- 900 in cash, besides four players, in 1928.

I'd ever suggested your getting

even he noticed that she never
lets Tom get out of her sight.
Poor thing, I'm sorry for her!"
Lovejoy went on with her
story. She told Aunt EN- about
her meetings with Steve Ogle-
bay and about the letters she
had kept for Aline. She left
out nothing, from beginning to
end.
Aunt Ems eyes were bright
with interest when she fin
ished. Here was something
that had the Queen of Rou-
mania'S visit backed off the
map!-Here was a news story
right in the middle Of her own
family!-A divorce story!
But all at once the bright
interest died out of her eyes,
and her lips came together
with q snap.
After a moment or two she
opened them with a question:
But the baby-what are you
going to do about the baby?"

she went home that night

that ran in streams down the

Aunt En- certainly had failed
her.
Aline had surely turned
traitor-running out Of the
house in order to save her own
skin.
The door of the room opened
at that moment, and Aline
came walking in.
Hello, there" she sang out
in her bright. cheerful way,
shutting the door behind her.

Judge about it. You'd just bet

blessed baby needs a home and

She really felt that she shouldn't
eavesdrop any longer, delight
full as it was. But Vincent was
embarked on a flood Of oratory
that nothing short Of a fire
alarm could quell.
Angela accepted his proposal
so promptly that one Of his
most flowery speeches was cut
short. But she was a little
timid about agreeing to his pro-
posal that they elope at once.
But father" she began.
Gle wouldn't understand"
Vincent assured her. "He does
not know how our hearts cry
out for each other. We cannot
share our sweet secret with
anyone like that"
But We'll need Dulcy," An
gela insisted.
At this, Dulcy rushed into
the room and flung her arms
around Angela. Of course, she
would help them. And, Of
course, she wouldn't tell a soul.
But you should tell your
mother" Dulcy exclaimed
breathlessly.
A moment later, Bill strolled
aimlessly into the room, whist
ling as gaily as though he were
not on his way to his own
funeral.
"Oh, Willie" Dulcy blurted
out. What do you think?
Angela and Vincent are going
to elope."
They looked on in consterna-
ton.
ooh, it just slipped out"
Dulcy explained. I'm so ex-
cited over it. But you won't
tell soul, will you, Willie?"
Bill did not seem to share
the general enthusiasm. And
when Vincent went out in
search of Mrs. Forbes, he
crossed over to Angela with an
air of nonchalance that any
less excited person than Angela
would have recognized as af-
fected.

He knew where they could get

He would even drive them, 50

"Well"-Angela paused to dab
at her eyes with a handker-
chief, you don't have to be
so happy about it. After all,
you cared for me once"
Bill was frankly puzzled by
her attitude. He wanted to
take her in his arms and tell
her that no man would ever
care for her as he did. But
romantic speeches were not in
his line, and anyway Dulcy,
Mrs. Forbes and Vincent came
rushing into the room with a
clatter of excitement.
