'SH|RES SATISFIED
With HIS TRADE
Goes Back TO Washington The
First Team He Played With

Chicago, June II R-Nearly all
the sports writer's in Chicago last
night hunted Arthur (the Great)
Shires who has been traded to the
Washington baseball team by the
| White Sox to obtain a few bon mots
and whatnots from him: but Shires
could not be found during the early
evening hours. 1t was suspected that
he was packing his famous trunk,
with. its modest lettering, Arthur
| (the GreaD Shires, and with its
pretty white hose painted hither and
| thlther. The trade will necessitate
the removal OF the white hose, but
this is a minor detail that Shires can
be depended upon to take care of
all IN good time
DOME Bush, manager of the Sox,
made 1t quite clear that his personal
relationh with Shires were most cor
dial and this is more than the
former Sox manager. Lena Black
burne. could have said, inasmuch as
Blackburne and Shires did not get
along very we'll. 1t was this fact, in
deed, that inspired Shires last win
ter to go forth seeking the heavy
weight boxing championship of the
world; quest that PANIED out none
too we'll although Mr.. shires made
himself quite a pile of money
therein.
Arthur joined the Sox from Waco
IN 1928 in time to take part in SO
games. In his first major league
game he hit a triple and three
singles.
1t has been said often that shlres
cheWed the largest mouthful of to-
oaceo, or gum. or slippery elm, or
whatever it is he chews. of any one
IN the major leagues. Tommy Con-
molly, the umpire. who in 40 wears
mas seen a lot of chewers, has been
quoted as describing Arthur as the
chewlngest player I've seen in all
my experience" Coming from Con-
molly, this is no slight compliment.
Shlres, who was finally located by
reporters early today. said his rela-
tionshlp with the White Sox this
year had been among the pleas
ATTEST IN his baseball career. He
said he thought the trade was n
excellent one for the Sox.
Why should Bush keep me-" he
said, when he's got Clancy, who |
plays first base as good as I do BY |
trading me, he gets what he needs; /
and | get with ball club that's 10

mires Walter Johnson. and no one
more than l. Washington, you know.
was the first major league club I
eVer played with. 1t was in 1925. just
after left school, and I was with

Although confessing to. only %
Years., Mr.. shires has done some
'tartllng things in his short baseball
'areer. His excursion into pugilism,
With It's accompaniment of MANY
Fords, was one. On another occa-
ION he went to the plate in batting
practice wearing a red bonnet. This
prank was looked upon by the then
Manager Blackburne as rejecting
lpon the seriousness of the national
'astime. 1t was after this ball game
nat Mr.. Shires and Mr.. Blackburne
Exchanged rights and let's.
There isn't very much for me TO
ay,' Shires said.

 CURE FOR FAMINES
Looks for Methods of Preventing
 Annual Destination
-

Ranking, Feb, l lP)-The Nation- alist government is trying seriously at last to find d method of prevent ing the reCurrent famincs which an nually decimate large sections of the population.
 As a first step food saving campaign has been launched. A set of "Hooverizing" regulations has been drawn up that it Is hoped will be felt by every family in the land. Those with plenty Of food will be taught not to waste it and those who arc hungry will have q better chance 10 get the neccs- saries of life.
 General Tan Ycn-Kai chairman Of the administrative department of the government, is leader of the project. He heads a food commit tee composed of foreign agricul- tural experts and government of icials.
 One of the first duties Of this committee will be to visit the famine areas and study food distri- button, production and prices. The government expects to adopt q permanent food policy based upon the findings of this committee.
 General Tan hopes to halt the secret eNportation of food stuffs and 10 stop embargoes which now prevent transportation of eatable5 from one province to another. He also has in mind projects for lower Ing freight rates over both rail and water routes as a means of reduc- inS prices.
