has done his share IN compiling
this record. And the team as
result is going great guns with
spirit high, wide and handsome
fitting situation for the battle
at hand with the teams on this
Western trip, the second of the
season.
The Griffmen, all told, ex-
perienced a fine home stay
during the past three weeks.
They played 19 games and were
returned victorious 16 times.
The pitchers went nine games
in a row at one stretch without
finding it necessary to call upon
relief. This took in the contests
from May 81 to June 9. In sum-
mary the batters hit and the
fielders fielded with the result
that nothing else but a good
showing could be made when all
is considered.
Cut Lead in Half
The five-game lead of the AS
was whitfield down to two and
one-half games on this showing
The motto at this time is: Catch
the AS and keep them behind" d"
This Western trip might answer
all wishes.
The Griffmen closed a very
hard set with the St. Louis
Browns in Washington yeSter-
day. Aided by a timely triple
in the ninth inning by OSSie
Bluege with Sammy West on
base, the Browns were defeated,
8 to I.
The game was another one of
those palpitating affairs which
characterized the st. Louis series.
The Killefermen were a very
stubborn foe to shake off and it
was not until Bluege's hit in the
ninth that things were decided.
After coming a to lead in
the seventh, the Griffmen saw
the hard-hitting Brownies jump
on Pitcher Alvin Crowder in the
eighth to come within one run
of tying the score. Lloyd Brown
and big Fred Marberry were in
serted in this frame, incidentally,
before it was all over.
The score was tied off of Fred's
slants in the ninth. but the big
pitcher received credit for the vic
tory when the final cloud of dust
Twas cleared.

Farm Population Gaining.
(NeW York Times )


 The Department of Agriculture does not venture to assert that the increase in the farm population in January, 1881, compared with that of January, 1880, marks new era in rural life. But the fact time in twenty years there has been gain. There was actual estimated increase during 1930 of 208000 This may mark, the report of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics suggests "only a temporary unemployment impulse without any significant momentum behind it. but there is suggestion of permanency in statistics which show that for a number of years the movement away from the farm has been slowing down year by year.
 These figures do not tell why fewer came to the cities and why returned to the farms in 1930 in all regions of the United States except in the Mountain the Pacific" and the West North Central" areas Is it that the telephone the radio, the moving picture, the automobile, the improved roads and better rural schools have ended or lessened the isolation of the farmhouses-brought the city to the country? The mechanizaton of farm industry has enabled fewer laborers to produce and has driven many to the cities search of other employment On the other hand it is probable that mechanizing science will also back the farms as dwelling places increasing number of men and women. Despite the advances of large scale farming, it is believed by the authorities that the famiy-sized farm will survive to grow what is even more valuable to the nation than it's produce.

THE SPHINX" IS DEAD.

The death of George F. Baker removed from active life Americas greatest banker with the DOS sble exception of the J. P. Morgans, father and son. However he had been the actual head of the First National Bank of New York for nearly T half century before his reputation extended to the average in the street. That due mostly to his strict adherence to his most pronounced character istic-that of silence. He 82 when he gave his first interview for publication.
 Y did nothing unusual when I began. My first job that I chose to call job in small bank in Albany. I was a very quiet worker and that served to distinguish me. It there that made and invested my first thousand dollars Then z simply planned my way to Wall Street It was with this money that I bought the First National Bank
 Concluding the interview, MT. Baker 1arly shouted:
 "Therel I've broken my record Tell the others they needn't come in. And get out he dismissed his interviewer with smile.
 It remained for J. P. Morgan and Charles E. Mitchell, President of the National City Bank, to tell at the annual banquet of the New York State Bankers Association January II, 1925 details of the life of the aged banker than had before been given to the public. The event was turned into testimonial dinner with MT. Baker as the guest of honor
 MT. Morgan disclosed for the first time the importance of MT. Bakers service to the country in the panic of 1907, without, however, giving the de- tails, by relating how his father, the late J. Pier pont Morgan told him the story of those anxious and agitated days. Summing up what had been ac- complished, the elder Morgan said to his son: of course, you see, it could not have been done with out Mir. Baker. He is always ready to do his part and more'
 Because of his aversion to being interviewed and talking for publication MT. Baker became known as "the Sphinx of Wall Street." Although one of the outstanding figures in the financial and transporta tion development of this country it was not until recent years when associates on several occasions paid him tribute that the public generally began to learn of him Up to that time less was known personally of the aged banker than of many men whose standing in the business world did not begin to compare in importance with that of MT. Baker.
 Natural modesty and inherent reticence kept yelled the details of Mir Bakers early life and to all, except his immediate associates in the Wall Street district his extensive financial operations were unknown Bographers found it difficult to obtain information concerning him with the result that American biographical works contain only the most meager details of his life

The Era of the Truck.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

 ; That the railways of the country have not exag- gerated in some of their claims appears be clear in the reading of recent announcement made by the Bureau of Public Roads.
 According to this authority during 1929 there were 78749 fewer passenger cars on the highways but there were l,085 more trucks Ohio Penn sylvania and Texas had more than @ million each of passenger and trucks
 The railroads no longer enjoy monopoly in the matter of short hauls, and some of the truck haus are not so short either The pinch is being felt by the established common carriers hence their complaint.
 Adjustment here is demanded by the complex activities of the age All such problems must be solved by that genius which consistently has min- istered to progress in all times Experience would seem to prove that inequities will eventually be smoohed out and that the vast caravan of progress will not be hopelessly impeded by any innovation change of industrial program or exigent unknown quantity.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-R - Indiana's
track squad was a big choice to win
over Minnesota. Purdue and North
western in a quadrangular meet Fri
day night at Patten gymnasium,
Northwestern's stronghold.
The Hoosiers, equipped with out
standing power in the distance runs,
and better than ordinary strength In
the sprints, hurdles and pole vault,
made themselves noticeable recently
by defeating Ohio States strong team
in a dual meet, and only Minnesota
appears capable Of making a contest
of Friday nights event.
Minnesota will have Captain john
ny Hass in the spring and hurdles,
and Clarence Mum, captain elect Of
the 1881 Gopher football squad, in the
shotput. 1ndiana's bets are Brock
smith. Leas and KEEP in the distance
events, and Gordon in the daShes.
Northwestern scored only % points
in a qu%adrangular meet with Wiscon-
sin, Ohio State and Chicago las:
week, and doesn't figure to do more
than get a first place in the pole vault
out of Tommy Warne, and scattered
places in other events. Purdue, with
out Orval Martin, its great middle
distance man, appears to be without
an outstanding performer.
