 John Berly, who won 1e and lost for Rochester last year, Is in line for a job as McGraw says he sees in the young man rapid ly improving pitcher. Mac also speaks highly of Gayland Turner, just in from Bridgeport.
 McGraw is waiting until April 10 to cut down the squad. He wants to see more of the young pitchers. The rest of the team is set.
 If he can find among the young fellows two men who can pitch winning ball against the Cardinals and Robins. MT McGraw is going to be very hard to get along with in the pennant race of 1881.

ff Equipoise is the future book ia. varite for victory on May 16. but Twenty Grand is close behind. Twenty Grand lacks the grace and symmetry of Equipoise, nor does he have the ability to hang to the rail and the brilliant change of pace that his rival has.

 The Greentree Whitneys have been preparing Twenty Grand for the Ketnucky Derby ever since he first went to the post. He has had fine and careful training.

Don't Overlook McGraw Selection of q winner in the National league this year can- not be made without reference to the former third baseman of the Baltimore Orioles, who has been sending a Giant team to the races since 1903.
 McGraw is the man, and since he took over the team in 1903 the Giants have finished outside of the first division only twice. McGraw's 1915 team finished in last place and his 1928 entry was fifth. Aside from the running fourth in 1916, the Giants under McGraw never were worse than third. where the club wound up last year.
 An Important Finding
 He Is coming back north after Q fine training season at San Antonio. One of the important discoveries of the spring trip was the revelation, as far as McGraw is concerned, that Johnny vergez, the lad from the Pacific Coast League, can play third base.
 "vergez is the most capable third baseman have seen in years," McGraw said the other day. land I am confident he will be able to hit 300 in the National League" Strength Aflcld
 That means q lot coming from the old third baseman of the Orioles. If Vergez bears out his managers expectations. the Giants this year will be much stronger than the team was in 1880. Fred Lindstrom will play in the outfieid, and experiences at San Antonio demonstrated that Freddie can play there with the best of them. This leaves Mel Ott in one field, with Leach and Allen alternat- ing on the job. The outfield looks vastly better than last year.
 McGraw's job at the training camp was to find pitchers and to develop one or two he already had. As the team wends its way north, 1t be- comes increasingly apparent that this task has been accomplished. There is a good chance that Harold Schumacher, 19-year-old Milligan College graduate, may make start ling pitcher. McGraw says he has the stuff and that The will get the ex- perience very shortly"

HIGHWAY FUNDS
OPEN PROJECTS

Helena, Mont, Jan. 21-(UP)-
Between 1900 and 1900 men will
be given employment between
now and March as a result of the
congressional emergency appropri-
atoms for highway work.
The first parcel of contracts,
numbering IA projects in the IL
highway districts. will be awarded
Jan. 1924 by the state highway
commission. A similar number
Of projects will be awarded on
Fed. &c.
o. S. Warden, chairman of the
commission, said the opportunity
to pursue the highway program
resulted largely from the $1,000
600 loan available to Montana I'M
der the emergency appropriation.
This money will match a SINH
liar sum, which together with
$3.50, 900 available for forest road
construction and 100000 allotted
to Indian reservation road work,
swells the total for highway CON
struction TO more than $4,000, 900.

Entering their third week with q

tana's Legislators this week turned
their attention to the important
matters of state finances.
From the first pre-legislature

how to accomplish it. This and

the foreground.
Passed by the house last week
with only three members voting
against it, the measure to issue
warrants against the anticipated
gasoline tax collections was trans
mitted to the senate where it was
scheduled to be acted upon Tues
day.
AS no opposition worthy of men

SENATE COM. ON
CRAWFORD BILL

Helena, Mont, Jan. 22-(UP)-
The senate judiciary committee,
under the craftsmanship of Thorn
as P. Stewart of Deer Lodge, today
held a public hearing on Senate
bill No. /.
The measure, introduced by Sen
county, seeks to prohibit Montana
manufacturers from selling their
products in other states cheaper
than in Montana.
Representatives. of several ma
jor industries appeared before the
committee to protest the bill as
discriminatory to their best inter
ests and charged that it would
tend to limit Montana manufact-
urers from engaging in interstate
trade. especially those who pro-
duce commodities which are sold
in a competitive market.
The bill has a wide popular sup
port and many Legislators have ex-
pressed approval of the measure
which would give the state a dis
ciplinary control over manufactur-
ers.
Opponents of the measure, how
ever. claim the bill would prejud-
ice other manufacturers from To-
eating in Montana, and would I'LL
timately injure the state.
The bills failure to distinguish
between a sack of -four and a car
load, a 2 by 4 or a million board
feet al attacked by manufactur-
ers' groups. They argued the bill
would place them in a position
entirely opposed to good business.
For example. they pointed out,
that a miller might sell a trainload
of flour at a far cheaper price on
the hundredweight than he might
p~rofitably sell a single sack on the
home market.
The bill was aimed, Senator
said. at sugar and gas
oline manufacturers, over whom
Montana long has desired a rea-
sonable control, bnt of legal nee
5ssity had to include all manu-
lecturers in it's scope.
