Downtown st. Louis took
on a real series day aspect.
Every hotel lobby was
jammed with crowds, in a
hurry to get from one side
of the room to another.
The streets were crowded with
automobiles, many bearing out-of-
state license tags.
The unluckiest men in town,
those in charge of press arrange
ments, were being besieged by last
minute demands of friends and
friends of friends. Scalpers' &C
tivitieS went on apace.
Ticket Prices Soar
They still we're asking $40 and
more for $3.50 tickets, but drop
in the market was imminent.
Sixty eight-year-old Connie Mack.
leader of the Athletics, was in a
pleasant mood, but he continued to
refuse answers to questions as to
his pitching selection. Every one,
however, knows" that Lefty Grove,
the "thirty-one and four left-hand-
er is to start for him.
Gabby Street, st. Louis Cardinals
leader, confident of success, stuck to
his original announcement that
young Paul Derringer would get the
job
The city's unhappiest man was
Sparky Adams. Bandages were
taken from his bad ankle late
Wednesday. He told the United
Press he would be able to play and
hoped Street would use him.
Today, however, he could not hide
limp and, while Street did not say
so, the Card players are certain
High will take his place.
Both teams were almost at the
peak of their strength. The Ath-
letics will miss Joe Boley, star short
stop. He's out with a bad knee. The
Cards may miss two aces besides
Adams.
Other Stars Disabled
The first, Jess Haines, right
handed pitcher, is regarded as a
definite loss, as he has an infected
arm and has not thrown a ball for
three weeks.
Pepper Martin, outfelder, has
troublesome knee.
Here's the probable batting order:
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-10-01

If Derringer, the 24-year -old
rookie right-hander, gets the as
signment, he will be the first rookie
to pitch an opening series game
since Babe Adams of Pittsburgh
beat the Detroit Tigers in 1909.
Grove, of course, is the COM
handing active individual of the
series. He won the first game of
the last series. He holds the amaz-
ing season record of thirty-one
games won and four lost.
The bleachers and pavilion were
filled long before game time. Thou
sands Of early fans indicated their
preference for the Cardinals over
the Athletics by wearing bright red
hatbands, sweaters, or peoples. Cow
bells, horns and whistles provided
plenty of noise.
Cardinals Start Workout
At 11:4O a. m. the Cardinals. de-
termined to take the first opening
series contest ever played in this
city, came out of the dugout for
batting practice, and the band
scurried to the foul line. The
Cardinals wore newly washed cream
colored uniforms.
The weather was warm enough
for coat shedding, and those hum

night for rush seats. and shivered

IN SPITE OF BOARD
Cotton Acreage Probably Will
Be Cut Only s per Cent,
It Is Estimated
CROP CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
Most Of Land Removed From
Wheat and Other Crops Is
Allowed to Lie FaIIow
CROP CONDITIONS ARE GOOD

st. Louis, March 3.-tP-There is
little if any evidence on the early
spring farm horizon that the SOUTH
west will reduce its wheat acreage
materially in 1881.
In the face of urgent advice from
the federal farm board to cut wheat
acreage and thus reduce the grain
surplus, present indications are that
the southwest will grow practically as
much grain this year as last.
Consider Legal Control
Furthermore, while the Texas leg
islature considers cotton acreage con-
troll by statute, in cooperation with
other southern states, estimates re-
veal a probable cut Of only 8 per cent
in this major crop.
The 1880 drought has had little CT
feet in the great southwestern wheat
belt save a slight delay in fall plant
ing.
Kansas alone Sowed 1929. 900
acres, one per cent less than a year
ago as aontrasted with Alexander
Legge's plea for a reduction OF 10 per
cent at least. This is we'll above the
average for l924-l928 of ll,786,OOO
acres.
Almost perfect weather has result
ed in a crop condition reported at 80
per cent, only 2 per cent below last
year.
New Cotton Cooperative
In the cotton country a new CO.
operative will function for the first
time in l93l-The Taxes Certified
Cottonseed Breeders association. On
Ger state supervision members OF the
group have supplied high grade seed
to southern farmers for several years,
but only recently were recognized by
the farm board.
j. E. Mcdonald, Texas commission
er Of agriculture, is sponsor for the
proposed acreage control law. II en-
acted, it would become effective when
four other cotton states adopted SIM
ilar measures.
Larger rye paintings are reported
from some sections Of the southwest,
but most of the land removed from
wheat and other crop acreageS Is be-
ing permitted to lie fallow.

On the day this news was pub

Labor announced 1t was going ahead
with its solution" for unemploy-

manufacture Of booze. To distract
the workers from the struggle for

the Hoover government, Green, Vol

have organized the National Com
mittee for the Modification Of the

The purpose is to get the workers
to vote for booze instead of unem-
ployment insurance. The lies spread
by the A. F. of l.. officials is that
booze legally manufactured would
increase the number of jobs that
is available. The facts show that
more booze is manufactured now lille

made during Reproduction days.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Herald-
ing the drastic increase in the un-
employed army, which this winter
will, on the admission of the Hoover
government, exceed all previous fig
ures, the Department of Labor has
just issued the report that employ
ment dropped 2 per cent in July and
payrolls dropped nearly per cent.
There has been steady and per-
sistent increase in the jobless ranks,
according to government figures.
These figures are in no way an ac-
curate indication of the vast num-
Der who are daily losing their jobs,
as the Daily Worker has repeatedly
proved the government figures are
faxed in the interest Of concealing
the truth about unemployment.
A drop of 2 per cent, however,
means that according to government
figures over 100000 workers lost
their jobs during July, and each
month from now until mid-winter
will see at least 100000 workers each
month thrown into the ranks Of the
