Jamestown Gets
Ready for 1880
Baseball Season
Fred Sims, Swede Risberg and
Eddie Deal Will Be the
Three Big Stars

jamestown. N. D., Mar. 19.-H'-

team that promises to be even
stronger than last years claimants Of
the state championship. will repre-
sent jamestown during the 1890 sea-
son. according to plans now being
laid by the Jamestown Baseball! As

played here May II according to
present plans
Fred Sims. Negro pitching acc oi
last year, has already been signed up
for the coming season. and "Swede''
Risberg, Of Chicago White Sox fame.
who finished the season with the
local club. has been a resident OF
Jamestown ever since and can be
counted On to prove a pillar of
strength both on the mound and at
the initial bag.
Strong Catcher Signed
Eddie Deal, who performed as
catcher with the long, whiskered
House of David for several seasons.
has agreed to shed his beard and
wear a Jamestown uniform. He is
not only a great catcher but q mighty
slugger as well. and will no doubt add
greatly to the punching power of the
aggregation. Other positions will be
improved wherever possible but sew
eral of last seasons stars will again
sparkle at their former positions.
The members of the board of direc-
tors for 1899 are: John SOULS, pres
ident: Jay Moller, vice president; C..
w. Spaulding. treasurer: w. H.
Browning, secretary: Mariner Cook

porated under the laws of North Da-
kota as a non-profit sharing corpor-
alton. o. K. Butts. who managed
the team last year. has been retained
as manager for 1890.
Won 80 Last Year
Jamestown won 81 out of the AZ
games played last year, losing only
fourteen, one game being a tie. This
record was achieved against many Of
the fastest teams in the state as well
as many travelling aggregations. How
ever, Jamestown Is not weeping with
the great Alexander for want of more
i worlds to conquer. Judging from
early reports many towns will have
faster aggregatiops this coming sea-
son. than they had in the past. and
| will be prepared to give Jamestown
| plenty Of opposition.

glories of the old Red Sox have de-
parted but the spirit carries gallant
ly on.
When Connie Mack, in 1922. gave
up his long-term occupancy OF
American League cellar for better
things, the Red Sox took over the
lease. Bill Carrigan, a great catcher
and manager of two worlds cham
pionship teams, failed in a three-year

Sox from their lowly estate. This
year, Charles (Heinie) Wagner. Car
rigan's lieutenant and himself a vet

has taken over the somewhat thank

PACT ON SILVER
URGED To AID
GOOD TIMES
Sen. Key Pittman, Chairman
Of Foreign Relations Body,
Urges Change in Policy

An international agreement as
to the stabilization and use of
silver for monetary purposes has
been urged as a measure to re-
vive world prosperity by Senator
Key Pittman, of Nevada, in a ra-
dio address
Senator Pittman, who is chair
man of the subcommittee of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee to investigate commercial re-
lationS, with China, blamed the
so per cent drop in the price of
silver for the commercial Stagna-
ton existing in countries that use
silver for their standard.
India's Slump
The action of the British gov
ernment in replacing the silver
standard in India with a paper
money supply based "on a miser-
ably inadequate" reserve of gold
was the greatest factor in the sill
yer depression, according to the
Senator.
The result was, he said, that
England had to sell India's $780,
00O, 900 in silver to get gold. This
depressed the price of silver and
destroyed the buying power Of
those countries on a silver stand
ard.
Chinese Imports
An average of 44,400,000 ounces
of silver from such unnatural
sources" has been added annually
to the normal mine production
during the past three years, he
said. This alone, he said, was
responsible for falling off of
so per cent in United States ex-
ports to China. He added:
I'm the first place, the British
government for India should
Immediately announce its inten.
ton to abandon such policy, to
be followed Immediately there
after by actual abandonment.
Abandon Sales Policy
In the second place, there
should be an agreement that
governments will abandon the
policy and practice Of selling
government silver, whether OBJ
tanned from the debasement of
coins or held for money pur-
poses.
I'm the third place, an at
tempt should be made to arrive
at an agreement between the
governments Of the world as to g
the sterilization and use of sill
yer for monetary purposes.
THE abandonment of the
policy Of the British govern
ment in India will Immediately
permit silver to go back to its
normal price of around so cents
an ounce. The ultimate StabiIi.
Zation of silver will undOubt-
edly be above the price of so
cents an ounce.

that no sustained recovery, either
in business or in the stock
market. will occur until q
majority Of basic raw materials

and the steel industry is down

Suspicious of Quick Change
But the wise man does not ex-
pect business to turn around over
night, and we should be suSpi-
ciouS Of all reports of sudden re-

housekeeping, with no false

while production is kept down for
a while, will finally put us in a
position to return to a condition
of sound prosperity. I am in

apt we are to see real recovery

Orgy of Saving Seen
By MQcv Official

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Nov. 26.--
Retailers and the newspapers will
be responsible for this countrys
return to prosperity, Kenneth
Collins. vice-president of R. H.
Macy & Co.. told the Columbus
branch of the National Retail
Institute today. 1t rests with
them, he said, because the essen
tial problem is to persuade the
buying public to spend until it
hurts.
AT the present time" he, con-
tinued, the American people are
indulging in an unprecedented
orgy of saving. Banks are ac-
cumulating vast deposits. Life
insurance companies are finding
their job relatively easy. But
saving money is not the way out
of this predicament."
The Washington times., 1930-11-26
Nv LEWIS HANEY,

D,rsctor New York University Bureau
economist Of Federal Trade Com
mission.
The business news during the
past week has not been entirely
bad. Moreover, the willingness OF
the financial powers to support
prices Cor at least to refrain from
heavy selling) suggested some I'M
provement in sentiment. 49,.
The fact remains, however, that
a majority of business reports
we're unfavorable. At least, they
showed no indication Of early re-
covery. The plain truth Is that
the recession in business activity
and commodity prices has con-
tinued down to date. The read
justments required to correct the
exceSses of 1929 have evidently
not been entirely completed.
Exports Hit Lows
We learn that the decline in
our foreign trade conti n u e d
through October, when exports
were the lowest in many years.
In general. foreign news indicates
that the depression abroad is I'm
relieved and it does not seem that
we can count on help from that
quarter.
Possibly we may get some hope
from the conference Of world
financial leaders in London. They
may be able to reach some agree
ment affecting a redistribution Of
the worlds gold supply, interna-
tional debts. tariff policies and
the like. These huge questions,
however. are not likely to be
solved quickly.
Financial Sins
Then there are the many bank
failures in the South and Middle
West. We must remember that
these result from the financial
sins of the past. They represent
the belated liquidation of frozen
loans on securities and real estate,
as we'll as the unSound promotion
Of bank chains. They will hurt

fected. They will unsettle buSi-
ness in those sections. But we
may think of them as clearing
