Punch Absent in 1929
The White Sox were lacking in
punch last season. Only three play
ers on the club batted over 300
Shires, 321; Reynolds, .317, and
Watwood. .302
OF the White Sox 1880 outstand-
ing recruits four are smuggling out
f1elderS. They are:
smead Jolley, san Francisco ......... 1857
Dave Harris Portland. Ore. ......... 1856
George Blackberry. Waco .......... 1856
Jimmy Moore. Dallas ................ 1864
One Of this quartet may develop
into the powerful cleanup hitter.
The Sox paid a fancy price for
Jolley and it will be a big diSap-
pointment If he does not make good.
The other two members of San
Francisco's famous trio of 1928, Roy
Johnson. Detroit, and Earl Averill,
Cleveland, won American League
berths in 1929. In four years on
the coast Jolley batted .346, 1897,
.4O4 and 1886.
Harris Has Reputation
Before going to Portland, Harris
batted 348 in eighty-two games with
the Providence club, which seems to
indicate he can hit any kind of
pitching. Moore and Blackerby
were two of the best hitters in the
Texas League. BLACKBERRY had a
brief trial with the Sox in 1923.
The outf1elders who were with the
Sox last season are Reynolds, Wat
wood, Hoffman and Metzler. The
White Sox new outfeld may be
Watwood. Reynolds and Jolley.
Hoffman has been optioned to In
dianapOliS.
Shortstop is the inf1eld problem.
Bill Cissell, last years shortstop
probably will be shifted to second
base, and leave Bill Hunnef1eld, who
batted only .181 last season, Ernie
Smith. who batted 1913 for Birming-
ham Southern League), and Irving
Jeffries, a former University Of
Kentucky football star who batted
1903 for Dallas Texas League), TO
compete for the job.
Kamm Retains Post
Shires will play first, with Bud
Clancy as underStudy, and Willie
Kamm, veteran third sacker, will
be at his regular post.
Ted Lyons. Alphonse Thomas and
Red Faber will form the nucleus of
the pitching staff. The two best
pitching recruits are Vic FraSier,
right handler who won fifteen games
and lost eight for Dallas. and Pat
Caraway. a southpaw who won nine
teen games and lost seventeen for
Topeka.
Frasier Is only "a and has had
only two years of minor league ex-
perience. but ne developed into one
of the best hurlers in the Texas
League last season. Caraway pitched
3O5 innings and led the Western
League in strikeoutS. 1859.
Young Ed Walsh and Hal McKsn are
expected to develop into regulars this sea-
son Others who will make bids Tor the
pitching staff are Frank Henry, southpaw,
claimed from the Giants on waivers late
last season: Bob Weiland. 2O5-pound south
paw recalled from Toledo Louis Garland
right-hander who won 7 and lost l6 for

Oil Conservation

Conservation of Americas oil resources has been
advocated for many years. There has been over
production and waste to such extent that exhaustion
of supplies is foreseen. And oil is essential to main
tain commerce and for national defense
President Coolidge in 1924 appointed an oil con-
servation board which sought ways and means to
restrict output This board attempted with no great
success, to bring about voluntary measures among
oil producers 1t urged states and the federal gov
eminent to do what they could, and recommended
the more intelligent handling of government con-
trolled oil sources on public and Indian lands :"
President Hoover, then secretary of commerce. was
a member of the board
One of Hoovers first official acts as President was
to announce policy of conservation for public lands
Interior Secretary Wilbur thereupon caused more
than 5000 permits for prospecting on public lands
to be rejected, and announced that no more appca-
tions would be received. About 10 per cent of the
nations oil comes from such lands.
Western states wanting to see their oil resources
exploited objected. Applicants for permits took their
case to court, and Justice Jennings Bailey of the
District of Columbia just has ruled that the President
and Wilbur acted without authority The law he
found, makes it mandatory to issue permits.
Thus the first major step in the administrations
conservation policy has been upset.
Fortunately this particular phase of the situation
is not difficult to remedy. Congress can amend the
phraseoogy of the leasing law to give the President
the power the court says he lacks. This should be
done without delay.

Nature HELPS

Nature is helping to solve the farm problem.
Wheat quotations continue at the higher levels
established several days ago and other grain prices
have risen in sympathy
What the farm board has failed to accomplish with
its millions the weather has done Reports of drought
in wheat producing areas caused the rise Also, wheat
was purchased for export
The situation no doubt is pleasing to the farm
board which through co-operatives has purchased
large quantities of wheat at a figure above present
prices and which expects at the close Of the present
season to own 100000 bushels.
short crop may solve this years question OF prices
although producers in the drought area may not cheer
very loudly
What will happen next year depends on success
of the farm boards efforts to curta acreage SO far
there IS little evidence that farmers are responding to
this method of farm relief.

Killing the World Court

re world court dispute is being revived IN WASH
,o.o &c result of the Illinois senatorial primary
victory Of Mrs Ruth Hanna Mccormick on an anu
court platform Some Of the politicians, and not all
of them Republican reconcilables either are jump
inc n the conclusion that the Illinois vote against
Mrs McCormick's opponent, the pro-court Senator
Deneen is typical Of national sentiment
That seems to be pretty far-fetched The SITUATION
in Chicago. where Mrs. Mccormick poned her heaVest
vote is unusual not unique. The trick OF stirring
nm antiPritish and anti-peace hatred to take the
voters mind off local corruption and real issues mas
been worked often by Big Bill Thompson in Chicago
and there national significance IN the Iac' VaI II
has been worked there again.
That this same trick can be worked in many other
states is most improbable It might have succeeded
back in the days when the trick was new, but there
are many signs that the country as whole has
passed that particular type Of hocus-pocus.
The real threat to American adherence to the
world court is not from the court enemies Of the
Mccormick Thompson kind nor from the diminishing
band Of rreconcabes in the senate, but from o1ncla
friends OF the court They utterly lacking in the
courage or even in the interest required to push this
issue to successful conclusion.
Consider the record of recent Republican admin
istrations All Of the party platforms have affirmed
allegiance to the court idea and pledged American
adherence. But repeated excuses nave Deen 1ouho'
or invented, for delay.
At last the senate voted for adherence with res
ervatons which by their very nature required nego-
tfations with the court member nations. But when
these nations requested such negotiations, the Cool
tdge administration refused and washed its hands OF
the entire matter with apparent air of relief and
satisfaction other nations had accepted all but the
fifth reservation, which they wanted explained
Many more months passed before pressure from
unofficial American sources induced Coolidge to pe1s
NIT others to reopen the question Root went to
Geneva and negotiated his protocol, although he had
no official status. Then belatedly the adminlStra-
ton took partial responsibility for the Root formula
which it in fact secretly had dictated.
Finally, Hoover came to the White House under
a reafirmed campaign pledge in favor Of the court
That was more than year ago. More than year
has passed since the jurists commission at Geneva
accepted the Root-state department protocol.
Soon it will be a year since fifty nations which
are court n obers accepted the protocol OF American
adherence Hoover formally has accepted that pro-
tocol and promised to send it to the senate
And still nothing happens. Month after month
masses the President holds the protocol and the SEN
ate does not even know of its existence officially.
Now there is a rumor that the President wants to
revent consideration of this long sde-tracked Re
nubican pledge until after the November election
Is this true?

1t is a we'll Established fact the
Polar company has ans unusually
large number of men in its employ
whose ages range from so to rs
years, several of whom, have been
continuously employed more than
twenty-five years.
For many years the Polar COM

expense of which is borne by the

interest "a Reader to know that we

company carrying this insurance
that the premium rate paid by the

any group insurance in this city, be-

Jobs Are Real Problem

Undoubtedly the biggest political problem facing
the American people prohibition, but there is still
bigger problem that will have to be solved with little
help from political government That's the problem
Of unemployment Not merely the present unemploy-
ment. but unemployment at any time 1t is more i'm
portant that the worker have steady job than that
he have glass of beer.
Fortunately industry itself is tackling this problem
seriously Not generally yet, but so far in isolated
instances Some employers in industry appear to have
found way to stabilize jobs in their individual con-
cernS. Others trying.
That's the hopeful thing about it. Those who try
hard enough will find way-and without the aid of
political government.
The answer Will be found in one word-organization
believe in organizaton-of both capital and labor
II both employers and employees in industry really
are organized the industry itself be organized so
that distressfu periods OF unemployment will be IN
necessary. Whatever the business jobs can be made
secure the year around if it is organized.
When we try to enforce competition We get low
wages and periods of unemployment The coal in

Obeying an Impulse

We don't know much about T. j. Jeffries, retired
Philadelphia broker; but we have fellow-feeling for
him, for he seems to have yielded to very wide
spread human impulse
Mr.. JeffrieS set out last fall to go to Scotland
But when his ship got there he decided that Just
riding around on boat more fun than anything
else he could think Of; SO, instead of getting off to
visit Scotland he stayed the boat-and he's been
on it ever since.
He has crossed and recrossed the Atlantic and has
gone on trip to the West Indies and he says that
he's having such good time that he'll just stay
aboard a while longer.
Probably all of us have felt that way at times To
be travelling just for the sake of travelling is lot
of fun. There's something luxurious lazy and salts
flying about steamer trip; who hasn't felt the i'm
pulse to stay on and indulge in it for weeks at a
time?

To be sure there is the qualifying

Still, kibitzer, slang or not, has the
use of the clubhouse.
DR.. Vizetelly defines the word as
follows: Zone who NEEDLES, with
other peoples affairs; specif., q
person who although not player,
makes suggestions and gives gratu-
itous advice to card-players."
This seems to me an excellent
definition, but in the next edition of
the dictionary I suggest that he add
some sentence illustrating the use
of the word such as The stakes are
never high enough for the kibit-
zerS-old Thanatopsis Club saying"
AS I remember Harpo Marx, the
silent actor, was the father of kib-

With kibitzer recognized, it seems
to me that campaign should be

To be sure the dorbitzer is lower in

A kibitzer may speak now and

this is forbidden the dorbitzer The

Mr.. Ford as a Dietitian

Henry Ford is great in his line, but we
can not hard as we try, see eye to eye with him on
this business of diet.
Ford wants simple meals-fruit for breakfast pro-
teins for lunch and starch for dinner He seems TO
come close to the position Of those scientists who urge
human beings to live solely on concentrated food
pellets.
Maybe as he says, this would bring longer life
But what of that? Why seek to live to be 80 If you
can never sit down to breakfast of hot mullins

fact that unemployed men between
the ages of Is and 35, particularly
at this time, are as much in need of
work, and no less deserving Of en-
ployment, than older men.
However, for the further informa-
ton of "a Reader" would say that
the Polar company never has dis
missed an employe because of his
age. Neither are nor youth has ever
been considered in applicants for
employment, except in occasional
instances where an older man, or a
younger man appeared to be best
fitted for the particular duty to be
performed.
Might 1 be permitted to suggest
to "A Reader" that had he made
some effort to talk to either old or
young employees of the Polar COM
pany, who have been employers of
local help in this community for
thirty-f1ve years, he probably would
not have written his communica-
ton.
