Indians Trade
For Pitching
Cousin
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

The fast mid-week
triple play, which in
volved Pitchers Earl
Whitehill, Tho r n ton
Lee and Johnny Sal
verson in the Washing
ton White Sox- Cleve-
land deal, may have
been a dumb move on the part
Of the Indians and a pretty
bright one on the part of the
Griffmen, if some facts con-
cerning the home runs cuued
off Whitehill by Earl Averll
and others are taken into con-
sideration.
By way Of calculating:
Earl Averill is a left-hand
hitter and Earl Whitehill is a
left-hand pitcher and during
the 1886 campaign, the Earl
Of Cleveland got exactly four
home runs off the erstwhile
Earl of Washington.
On the face OF such returns
the conclusion might be that
Cleveland would have liked to
see Whitehill remain out Of it's
ranks next season, if only for the
fact that he was home run
''cousin" to the mighty Cleveland
outfielder
Home Run Target
Too, one wonders whether Steve
O'Neill, before acquiring White
hill, was acquainted with the
fact that Whitehill was a sort
of a home run target to some Of
the leagues other sluggers.
For instance, besides Earl
AverilI, Hal Trosky, also of the
Indians, peppered at least one OF
Whitehill's slants out of the park,
as did Lou Gehrig, Jimmy FoXx,
Bob Johnson, Bill Dickey and
Harland Cliff. With Joe Di-
Maggie and Goose Goslin. they
constitute the "big nine" of Amer.
ican League home run batters.
It would seem to the average
mind that Cleveland would be
wary Of pitcher yielding the
home runs that Whitehill did to
the Sluggers of the league.
"A total of 10 home runs were
knocked off Whitehill by seven OF
the "big nine" sluggers. Goslln
and DiMaggio were unable to get
q round-trip blow from Whitehills
deliveries.
Fact is, those nine hitters, all of
whom made 20 or more home runs
during the season, had a select
group of pitchers on whose Slants
they layed heavy bombardment.
Other Soft Spots
Other than the ten circuit cloutS.
Whitehill yielded seven of the
'big nine" frequent hits for the
full route were gathered off Lloyd
Brown, Sugar Cain and Harry
Kelley for nine each, eight off
Elon Hogsett and seven each off
Eden Auker, Schoolboy Rowe,
Charley Ruffing and Al Thomas.
Auker, Rowe and Bridges
pitched 20 home run balls to the
'big nine" who lead the Ameri-
can League pack in sending the
ball sailing beyond the barriers.
And while Whitehill was the
"closest relative" to Averill, there
were other hitting kinShipS of the
loop that were noteworthy. For
instance, Lloyd Brown and Bob
Grove were cousins to Lou Gehrig
who made seven four-Sackers off
the combined deliveries of the two
Eouthpaws.
Buck Newson was pal to Hal
Trosky and that goes for Bump

LONDON, January 18.-Rudyard

Middlesex Hospital at the age of 10.
and his body was taken to the hospital

The family announced the body

of Britain's famed sons. did not i'm
mediately become known.
His body was taken to the chapel
from the simple bed in private room
in the hospital, which he had occu-
pied since he underwent an emergency
operation last Monday for q perfor-
ated stomach ulcer.
Tribute From All Sides.
From all sides came tributes to the
memory of the poet and novelist who,
until his sudden illness, had lived in
virtual retirement for many years in
the quiet Sussex village Of BurwaSh.
Bernard Shaw, calling Kipling "A
great story teller who never grew up"
said the poet was "a great figure in
what may be called imperialistic
literature"
Shaw said, 81 don't think reading
of Kipling ever changed anybody's
life very much, but you may well say
the same of Sir Walter Scott and
others. Within his own limitations,
Kipling was really great"
"One of the most forcible minds of
| our time has ceased its work. said
the Times.
"Posterity, whatever 1t may have to
say about his opinions, can never fail
! to laud that achievement in self ex-
preston as one of the most singular
in English literature and English
thought"
"As the greatest and most beloved
fixture of contemporary English liter
ature, his fame is secure" said the
Daily Mail. He taught England the
meaning of empire, and the empire
the meaning of England"
United States Ambassador Robert
w. Bingham asserted, II feel that my
rating of Rudyard Kipling is repre-
sentative of all Americans.
He was q great poet, great prose
writer, one of the supreme masters OF
| the English tongue. In the United
States, he Is read and admired
throughout the entire country"
Sank Into Inconsistencies.
For four days, since he was op-
Grated on Monday morning, only Kip

his will to live.
Just before dawn Friday he sank
into Inconsistencies. Only in the
last hours did he seem to recognize
his family.

Secretary Wallace said today he be-
lieved public opinion would not toll
crate" the refund to manufacturers
of $1,000, 1000, 900 paid in A. A. A.
processing taxes.
In his first press conferences since
the Supreme Court invalidated A. A.
A, Wallace said the processing taxes
have been passed on to the consumer.
He added that the 5000, 900 i'm
pounded under court injunctions was
in the same status as the 81 900 ,000,-
900 paid into the Treasury, so far as
the consumer was concerned.
In the rice millers case, the Su-
preme Court directed that the i'm
pounded taxes should be returned tc
the taxpayer. Attorney General Cum
mings has under consideration the
possibility of asking the high court
TO review this opinion.
Early Action Possible.
Wallace said that il Congress enacts
necessary legislation for successor to
A. A. A. by February IS, he believed
the program might be placed into
effect on crops grown this year.
As he spoke, Senate leaders devised
q plan for speeding the new soil con-
servation program through the Capitol
The method proposed was attaching
the legislation as rider to the in
dependent offices appropriation bill
passed yesterday by the House.
The important thing necessary to
proceed with a program now, Wallace
said, IS to expand the definition oi
the soil conservation act to include
snecifically soil conservation and
preservation of soil fertility. The ex-
isting law is concerned principally
with soil erosion.
A survey made by A. A. A. experts
last year, Wallace said revealed thai
IS ,00O,0 900 acres Of corn, wheat and
cotton now are grown on &C" and ID
slopes. The Secretary explained thai
damaging erosion occurred on &C
slopes planted in anything but grass
and that %" slopes must be planted
in trees to prevent erosion.
Five major farm organizations
meeting as the National Agriculture
Conference, went on record last night
as indorsing the program to obtain
production control through a system
of subsidized soil conservation.
Discussion revolved today around
two questions:
Will the new program survive Su'
preme Court test If 1t is ever brought
before that tribunal?
What means will be used to finance
it?
As for the first point, it was learned
today that Senator Norris, Republican
