OrSGtti Steals ShOlU From
Martin

Probably it was only movie pub
licity that credited Ernie Orsatti
for doubling for Buster Keaton in
films. Ernie didn't do that, he only
worked for Buster as a property
man at one time and starred on
Busters indoor team. But this year
Ernie has really been doubling for
a star performer-"Pepper" Martin
and doing such an effective job that
the Wild Horse of the Usage, hero
of the 1881 World Series, is out in
the wings looking on, while Orsatti
is getting the applause as the center
fielder of the worlds champians.
Playing a considerable part of the
season with his hands taped up, fire.
quently suffering with a twisted or
swollen ankle, but always fighting,
Orsatti has done a great deal to-
ward keeping up the Cards pennant
hopes in the darkest season the
Cards have had in years. He is bat
ting over 300 and he has been get
ting his hits in the pinches. From
the time he made his debut in ma
jor league uniform in 1927-when
he doubled off Charlie Root in his
first try-Orsatti's work has always
been spectacular and this season
has been no exception.

Has the governor forgotten" ,"
Smell asked, that one of the most
eVil-smelling bank failures in the
United States took place in New
York City, a failure followed by in
dictment and conviction? Does he
promise the country the kind of su-
pervision that preceded the failure
of the Bank of the United States, a
State institution supervised by the
State Banking Department"
The State department quoted
Roosevelt as saying at Columbus
that if he were elected 'it will no
longer be possible for international
bankers or others to sell to the in
vesting public of America foreign
securities on the implied under
standing that these securities have
been passed ON or approved by the
State department or any other agen-
cy of the Federal Government.
This is, an insinuation," the
statement said, that the department
has thus assisted the bankers in the
past. 1t would be interesting to
know whether Mr.. Roosevelt intends
to revive this long since discredited
story and whether he will assert
that the department has actually
thus assisted the bankers. The facts
have repeatedly been stated. The
Department of State has never ap-
proved single foreign loan"

DELAWARE FACES
LOSS OF APPLE
SALES IN BRITAIN
[Continned from Firn Paael

[COEtiEHea from FiTE Pagel
one that finds the readiest market
in Great Britin, he pointed out,
and this is the variety most widely
grown in the Shenandoah Valley.
While Delaware has been exporting
the York variety, he said, growers
here also sell many Staymens and
Jonathans in the British markets.
While there is no tariff at present
ON American apples shipped to Great
Britain, Dean McCue said, there are
a number of embargoes on them
placed by the British government.
Exports in this country are per-
mitted to ship only the grade of ap-
pies known as ~. S. No. l." In ad-
dition to this, at certain seasons
some varieties are prohibited alto
gether.
American apples are the greatest
competitors of Empire apples. AL
most 100000 barrels annually clear
from Baltimore alone, most of them
on consignment to the British Isle.
AS a result of American competition,
the Canadian orchardists said they
have had bushel upon bushel rot on
the ground.
Since the ocean freight rate is
about the same to one shipper as
the other from the North American
continent, the Canadians believed
the addition of the tariff to the ulti-
mate cost of United States apples
would give them the advantage they
have long sought.
Senator John G. Townsend, Jr., is
one of the largest exporters of ap-
pies from Delaware to British mar
kets.

Ruth's Goal Is Ten Series

Babe Ruth of the New York Yam

ing a distinction enjoyed by no one
else in baseball-that of participat-
ing in ten world series. He is the
only player who has been in nine.
but John McGraw, former pilot OF
the New York Giants, has appeared
in the same number as a manager.
Ruth is the only present-day Yam
kee player who took part in all six
of the previous Yankee Worlds Ser
les. Mark Roth, road secretary of
the team, also got cut in each OF
these series as did Eddie Bennett,
