FANS PICK ALL-TLNE SANDLOT NINE

By GINO SINH

Spring is in the air, uh-uh, uh-rlh,
goes a popular song, and the un-
mistakable sign that it really is
in the ozone is the crack Of hick-
ory against horsehide and the
echo of young voices Shrilllng
run, run, rum"
Another unerring sign is small
knots of baseball fans in heated
argument.
Such a group foregathered one
warm day last week and proceeded
to prove beyond the least shadow
Of doubt that spring was in the
air, delving deeply in sandlot dia-
1nond lore of many, many years.
Leader in the discussion was a
tall, sparse chap with a conSpicu-
Gus proboscis, Lester "Eaglebeak"
Brown, a rabid sandlot follower
for more than a generation. Argu-
ing with him, and occasionally for
him, were "Huck" Stahl, "Heinie"
Webb and Joe Reuth, men who
have served King Baseball faith
fully for many seasons on Wash
ington's neighborhood diamonds.
"Say," broke in an innocent

standing sandl0t players you

"Walter Beall and Frank Watt
stand out like sore thumbs

s'Eaglebeak."
"He's right ON that" Stahl
agreed.

those two. either" Webb con-
cured, although Mickey Nc

"Walter Hughes was better
than Watt" Reuth disSented,
"and Lefty Mcintyre deserves

John "Givy" Giovanetti, color
full Rex backStop, got Webb'S and
Reuth's vote as catcher, but Brown
preferred Ralph Monk" Fraser,
with Bus Hager as second choice.
while Stahl gave John Fee" Col
Nere the job.
"Gio7anetti is my pick at first
base" "Huck" remarked, but
Brown named Morris Cook" Tay-
lor as his initial sack. preference,
while Dutch" Homan noSed out
Bronson Bronze" Howard for the
berth in Heinie's book, and Reuth
favored Walter Houchen.,, -
The argument might have con-
tinued indefinitely over who was

The President, whose special train
arrives about pm, will inspect eight
completed or contemplated rehabilita-
ton projects, then view the tentative
$l4,000,00O food control program.
This program would provide a huge
dam across the Conemaugh Valley,
about IL miles south of Johnstown,
to create a new reservoir supplement-
ing the Quemahoning Dam, which
held last Spring despite tremendous
weight of flood waters.
Sites of three coal-mining COM

Foustwell, will be inundated under
the plans of Army Engineers under
Col. E. v. Covell, Engineer chief for
the Pittsburgh district, embracing
Monongahela and Allegheny water
sheds.
Final administration approval of
this project has not yet been obtained.
In an interview, Lee H. Walker,
director of w. P. A. operations for
Pennsylvania, said the President would
be taken to see four completed prof.

Luther Note Believed PIedg-
ing Discontinuance of Sub
sidizing Exports.

(Copyright. 1885, by the Associated Press3
An early lowering of trade barriers
between the United States and Ger
many was forecast in reliable quarters
today following presentation by AM
bassador Hans Luther of an important
note on the subject to Acting Secretary
of State Phillips.
The content of the note has not been
revealed officially, but it was learned
authoritatively that it conveyed the
German governments agreement to
discontinue wide subsidizing exports to
the United States. This practice i'm
PEELED the United States, more than a
month ago, to levy extra duties against
German imports into this country.
The German governments action
was expected in well-informed quarters
here to result in a withdrawal OF the
Treasury decree imposing the excess
taxes in the form of "countervailing
duties"
The German move, it was stated,
would apply to all contracts for ex-
ports to the United States concluded
since August 8.
Although the German government s
decision generally is expected by IN
formed quarters here to remove such
artificial obstacles to German-Amer-
ican trade, it was predicted, never
theless, that an increase IN commerce
between the two countries might not
result, due in large part to the scarcity
of foreign exchange in Germany.
Henceforth, German. purchases In
the United States must be paid Tor
ia marks convertible into foreign ex-
change, whereas formerly, through a
system of export bounties paid to ex-
porters, German industry was able to
buy in the United States with So
called "aski" marks, which were not
actually taken out of the country.
The reported German action toward
discontinuing export subsidies was said
to include prohibition Of the use OF
such marks in the future.
