BIG BAM NEEDS SCANT SYMPATHY

NEW YORK, April 16-- When Hack Wilson beat out Babe Ruth last season for home run honors, there was a lot of lugubrious head wagging that the poor old Bam had slipped.
 AS a matter of record, in addi- ton to hitting 49 home runs, Ruth finished third in batting among the regulars who played anything like a full schedule.
 Here's how the first five Ameri- can league hitters who played in more than 100 games finished last year:
 Al Simmons, Philadelphia w .38l Lou Geflrig,, New York ....... .379 Babe Ruth, New York ....- .359 Carl Reynolds, Chicago - 359 Mickey Cochrane, Philadelphia .357

One Gangster as Second
Shakes Hand.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october 19.-Gangland
has extended the hand of death to
Matt Kolb, Northwest Side gambler and
liquor dealer.
While one man put out his hand in
Q cordial greeting to him yesterday, his
companion shot him to death in Kolb's
Morton Grove roadhoESe, which, the
police said, was visited five months ago
w hoodlum followers of Al Capone, who
warned Kolb to clear out of the dis
trict."
Roadhouse Is Invaded.
The authorities said that they be-
1ieved Kolb's failure to heed the warm
ing was responsible for his death. Two
carloads of gangsters, the police said,
invaded Kolb'S establishment, dumping
beer and destroying gambling devices
as a means of letting Kolb know that
he was through and thst new syn
dictate was going to rule the district.
Kolb's slayers were smiling as they
entered, witnesses told police.
Hello, Matt" said one of them. ex-
and started to talk. Kolb'S visitor APP
parently told him something humorous
for he leaned closer to him and started
to chuckle, with his hand still in Ghe
mans grip. AS he did so the second of
the pair pressed a pistol against Kolbs
head and fired five times. Before they
left the men poured several more shots
into his PROSTATE body, to make sure
that he was dead.

Grain Market

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, December 28-Infuenced
by relative weakness of wheat quota
tions at Liverpool, grain prices here
tended downward early today World
shipments of wheat to importing coun-
tries we're larger both as compared with
the week previous and year ago
Starting at 1sa3s decline, wheat con-
tinued to sag. Corn opened unchanged
to BaA up and subsequently receded.
Although displaying little power to
rally, wheat showed rather notable
steadiness on declines. Among the rea-
sons given on the bull side of the mar
ket was notice that Italy had increased
to 80 per cent the quota of imported
durum wheat that millers would be
permitted to use. Another steadying
factor was that practically all of the
domestic Winter wheat belt had be-
come bare of any snow blanket, and
that snow reserves in the mountains
we're almost nil.
A leading crop authority pointed out
that temperatures had been abnormal
ly high this Winter, SO much so that
as far north as Wisconsin the willow
trees showed sap. Under these circum-
stances, he expressed fear concerning
possible damage over wide sections of
the Winter wheat belt in case of a
sudden severe fall in temperatures.
Such happening, he said, would catch
the crop in the growing stage and dis
asterous results were likely similar to
those in 1923 east of the Mississippi.
Corn and oats took their cue almost
entirely from wheat action
Provisions went downward with hog
values.
