FANS LOOKING
 TO MINORS TO
 HELP REDLEGS
New Faces Are Promised in l937 Lineup of
 Cincinnati
Bu ". c. PETERSON

 CINCINNATI, Sept 28.-They've promised Cincinnati fans a lot of new faces on the 1887 Red roster, and, now that the 1886 edition has faltered in it's drive for first di- vision berth. the pay.lg customers are locking over the possibilities.
 They're studying the averages of the International, Piedmont, and Sally Leagues hopeful of finding evidence that some "Redlets" have developed sufficiently to justify a trial in the big. show
 And they've found some interest ing material for speculation.
 There's a fellow by the name of Dee Moore on the roster of the Macon, Ga, club of the Sally league, Red farm. A pitcher by choice, Moore can fill any position cred- itably.
 They tell the story of double header. Moore played right field in the first game and did a com mendable job of it. Manager George Whitted needed a pitcher for the second game and asked Moore if he would like the job.
 You betcher life" the youngster replied.
 He took five minutes to warm up When the dust had cleared away after the ninth inning Moore learn. ed he'd pitched one of those rarties of baseball-a no-hit game.
 He faced only 27 batters, yielding bases on balls to two, both of whom promptly were erased by double plays.
 Other End of the Line
 The following day Moore went be- hind the bat, demonstrating his abil- ity there by tossing out three fel- lows who tried to steal He's play ed first base time or two and batting averages gave him a per- centage of .333 for 120 games.
 With Ponca, Okla, of the Vest ern Association in 1885, he batted 3l0 in 1l0 games, played 75 games in the outfield, and pitched 12 vic- tories and three defeats.
 Then down at Nashville in the Southern Association, there's Whit ey Wistert who had a tryout with the Reds as pitcher The husky former football star of the Univer- sity of Michigan took over first base for Nashville in an emergency and seems to have found himself there. His .330 batting average placed him at the top of association hitters in late season figures
 And down in the Piedmont league, there's Frank Mccormick, another husky first baseman for Durham. Handicapped by fractured thumb, Mccormick recently fell below the 400 mark for the first time in three months, but still was in the thick of the fight for the batting cham, plUIlSIllp.
 At the Reds Toronto farm is Lee Handley, 5-foot-7-inch second base man who played that position for Cincinnati for a month last spring and then was turned back for some more seasoning He's been belting the ball at .280 clip.
 
 Southern Strikeout King
 Nashville, W hich has working agreement with the Reds, has a pitcher who is sensation in John- ny Van der Nicer, leading strikeout twirler of the Southern Association He averaged around IA strikeouts a game for part of the season.
 At Columbus of the American As. sociation is Arnold Owen, a spec tacular catcher. The fans believe macy of Stars

the month, with top, grain fed
steers selling up to nine dollars, the
highest price in several months.
All of this indicates that there is a
very broad demand for beef and
that consumers are better able to
buy as the result of improved buy
ing power.
The action of the cattle market
at this time indicates that the
country is rather short on choice
grain fed beef. There is very
broad demand also for stocker and
feeder cattle to be used as re-
placements on California ranges and
in feed lots. Despite the rather
high prices OF feed stuff, the cat
tie feeders as a whole seem to be
of the opinion that grain markets
will warrant the use of relatively
high price feeds. Early rains gave
cattle ranges in the state a good
start and of course this has had a
very beneficial effect upon the
market for thin cattle suitable to
go on pastures and ranges. While
the dry, hot weather Of the past

total hog slaughter for the first
nine months of 1886 was $4,000
against 775,000 for the same period
last year. However, the hog slaugh-
ter is considerably below the seven
year average from 1929 to 1885,
the average for that period being
100000. The State is also con-
sulming huge volume of lamb and
mutton, the slaughter for the first
nine months of 1896 being 1907 900
against 1,803,00 for the same pc
riod last year, and the seven year
average of 1,693,000.
This is probably the most satis-
actory feature of the livestock out
look at the present time. The fact
that people are eating a large vol
ume of meat means that the heavy
supplies are moving into retail
channels without serious IMPAIR
ment to values. In fact, the gen.
eral level of prices are quite salts

more helpful situation and gives

background when satisfactory prices
are based more upon consumer buy
ing power than upon shortages.
A good many people believe that
the low spot in the market for
some time to come was reached on
the Los Angeles Market this week.
The trade appears to be in very
sound condition and livestock feed
ers are looking firward to a pc
riod of satisfactory prices. While
drouth conditions in the southwest
have forced a good many cattle in
to the market this has reacted IA
vorably to those who are buying re-
placement stock AS a matter of
fact, California cattlemen have laid
their Stocker and feeder cattle in
at values which should assure
fairly remunerative season in 1887
if the cattle market is as good as

good many competent market OBJ
servers are Of the opinion that the
price levels should be somewhat bet

The slaughter of cattle and calves
in California continued at rec
ord high level. Records of inspect
ed slaughter in California for the
first nine months of 1886 showed
that total of $4,000 cattle were
slaughtered, compared with the ex-
termely high kill of $4,000 for the
same period last year, and $4,000
during the 1929-1935 average. The
slaughter of calves also shows quite
an increase for the period, the to-
tai being $4,000 against $4,000 last
year and $4,000 for the seven year
average up to 1885.
That California people are eat
ing tremendous amount of meat
is shown not only by the above fig
ures but by the fact that our hog
slaughter has also shown a tire
mendous increase over 1898. The
