WASHINGTON, Dec. s. High.
er federal taxes for a two-year per.
iod, creation of a reconstruction
finance corporation and numerous
measures intended to loosen the
tremendous financial and credit re-
ource of the country were includ-
ed in an extensive program to has
ten economic recovery outlined by
President Hoover in his annual
message to congress today.
He proposed a temporary tax
increase to end July 1, 1884, which
it is unofficially estimated, would
amount to almost $1,000, 000, 900 a
year. Details were reserved for a
later time, but Mr.. Hoover gave
a general warning that the country
must prepare to take on an in
creased emergency burden due to
the sharp declines in tax revenues.
The outstanding credit proposal
in the message was for creation of
a reconstruction finance corpora
ton to extend emergency help to
business and agriculture. It's cap
ital would be raised jointly by the
government and private subscrip-
ton.
Its purpose is that by strength
ening the weak spots to thus lib
crate the full strength of the ma
tons resources"
Such a corporation, backed by
possible a billion dollars, would be
expected to have a strong pshycho-
logical effect on the country such
as was felt from the launching of
the recent national credit corpora
ton.
This proposal, coupled with the
tax increase recommendation,
forms the cornerstone of the presi-
dents attempt to inspire conf
dence and build a sound private
and public fiscal foundation for
economic recovery.
"The first requirement of con-
fidence and economic recovery is
financial stability of the United
States government" he said. 81
must at this time call attention
to the magnitude of the deficits
which have developed and the re-
sulting necessity for determined
and courageous policies"
He said there must be insistent
and determined reduction in gov
erment expenses and that the def
icit must be partially met by Dor
rowing, for an attempt to cover
them by increased taxes would
retard recovery"
He would fix the tax increase so
as to balance the budget for the
year beginning next July l except
statutory debt retirement. This
would require about 1921, 900, 900.

There is a 20 per cent discount
on all Canadian money. Until this

4 cents, a Canadian dime s cents,
a 25 cent piece, 20 cents; and a
half dollar 40 cents.

and then in due course Of time
the money will find its way back

Chicago, Dec. d. R- Although
Minneapolis landed in a triple tie for
fourth place in team fielding last sea-
son, three Millers came up with indi-
vidual leaderships, the official aver
ages reveal.
Long George Kelly, Minneapolis
first baseman, led the regulars in his
department with 1894, two points
higher than the leading average by
Dudley Branom Of Louisville, last
year, and Eddie Sticking topped the
second basemen~ for the second con-
secutive season. Sticking fielded for
$40, two points shy Of his 1880 mark.
The third Miller was catcher Eugene

erage of .987. Miguel Gonzales Of
Louisville, led last year with 1893.
Pip Koehler. who started with To-
ledo and finished the season with
Milwaukee, headed the third basemer
with .944, and Jack Tavener, another
Brewer, was the best of the Short

Hopes to Build Up Organization
That Will Stay on Top
For Years

Chicago, Dec. 22.-(P)-Manage
Rogers Hornsby harbors no baseball
hallucinations as he busily assemblies
his Cubs for the next National League
pennant dash.
I'VE should be much stronger with
Burleigh Grimes pitching for us and
with some fine recruits coming up"
Hornsby said as the Cubs completed
the big deal by which they acquired
the Cardinal mound ace for Hack
Wilson and Pitcher Bud Teachout,
but championship teams aren't built
in year. The Cubs are building
steadily. We may not win the 1882
pennant because of the strong Card
inal opposition but we ultimately will
climb to the top and may stay there
for six or seven years"
With william Wrigley's bankroll
attracting a large group of Minor
league stars, the fortunes Of the Cub
forces for 1892 appear excellent.
Grimes should give them one of the
finest balanced pitching staffs of the
league coupled with Pat Malone
Charlie Root, Guy Bush and Bob
Smith,.
Hornsby's idea of a great baseball
club is one of the great speed on the
bases and afield and he is construct
ing the club along those lines.
His most perplexing problems are
third and second bases and one posi-.
ton in the outfield. Lester Bell ap.
parently is through defending thu
third sack because of his sore arm
The Cubs have acquired Stanley Hack
Sacramento star of the Pacific Coas
league but Hornsby is worried les
Hack prove too inexperienced.
The second base post depend
largely upon his own condition bu
even he realizes that he cannot pla!
regularly any more because of hi
legs. He probably will start but sur
render the role for the post of pincl
hitter later in the season. Rigg
Stephenson, like Hornsby. cannot b.
counted to play regularly so re-
placement is necessary in the out
field.
"Gabby" Hartnett is regarded as I
fixture behind the plate but Charlie
Grimm may have struggle on hi
hands to stay at first with Harry Tay
lor, young Seattle star, coming up.
Kiki Cuyler will be back In the out
field.

RxALAN GOULD

New York, Dec. 22.-(H)-By a mar
gin equally as convincing as that
gained by Pepper Martin in the indi-
vidual field, Southern California's
sensational football team is credited
by the nations sports experts with
the outstanding individual team
achievement for 1881 in any branch
of sport.
That's how highly they regard the
Trojan victory that ended the three
year Winning streak of Notre Dame.
There has been nothing in years
to compare with that fourth quarter
comeback and triumph of Southern
California against the IriSh," wrote

spread feeling. 1T was a magnificent
team achievement in every respect"

This was exactly double the total for
the st. Louis Cardinals whose feat in
overthrowing the world champion
Athletics was voted the outstanding
accomplishment by 36 experts.
The glamor Of college football, still
fresh in mind, perhaps swayed the
opinions Of some observers. On the
other hand, many pointed out that
the chief factors in the Cardinal base
ball victory were three exceptional in
dividual performers-Martin, Grimes
and Hallahan whereas Southern
California came through on the
strength OF its superb teamwork In
the crisis against Notre Dame. More
over, while the vote for the Trojans
largely was based on what they did
against the Irish, the fact also point
