 San Antonio, Tex, March 2S. (UP) Manager Rogers Hornsby and the business bosses of the community owned St. Louis Browns can't agree where their club will finish in this season.
 Donald L. Barnes, president, like Hornsby is optimistic over the New Browns spirit. And, he says:
 We're @ good enough club to land in the first division. And we'll give the top flight boys a whole of lot of trouble"
 But Hornsby, who likes the teams spirit, is not in agreement. The hard-boiled Rajah says:
 Need Pitchers
 "We,ll have a fighting, hustline ball club--but the pitching, 1t will have to improve"
 Barnes was Q rnild-mannered business man until last November when he and 15O other St. Louis citizens bought control of the Browns from the Phil Ball Trust Now the president is perhaps the most avoid baseball fan in St. Louis
 T don't hope for the Browns tc win the pennant this year." he says "But we'll have a good season. Give us two more years of building and we'll land in the World Series" St. Louis never has won an American league pennant.
 The pitching staff over which Hornsby moans is a veteran one but @ little too much on the veteran side.
 Brightest prospect is Oral Hide. brand, 28-year-old righthander re- ceived in trade with the Cleveland Indians. Other starters are Alphonse Thomas, who won Il and lost nine last year; Russ Van Alta, who won only four last year; J. Fred Blake, 8 37-year-old star who won IA and lost 16 for Baltimore year ago, Sidmund Jakucki, Earl Caldwell, Elon Hogsett, Harry Kimberlin, Jack Knott, Lou Koupal, Les Tietje and Jim Walker. That staff averages few days less than 30 years old.
 The second greatest problem or, the team Is Hornsby himself. He is training to play second base again this year. He hit 400 last year in a few appearances as pinch hitter. But he is getting old.
 Hornsby To Play
 "I plan to play" Hornsby says ? but l don't want to misjudge my own ability, 50 I'll let the coaching assistants decide whether actually will hold down a regular position.
 Rollie Hemsley, regular catcher who hit .263 last yeare, is back fol season that HornSby believes will prove him the "best catcher in the American League" Angelo Giuliani Hensley's understudy, will have tc hustH to keep rookie from Tor onto, Tom Heath, from replacing him.
 In the infield, Hornsby, has James L. (Sunny Jim) Bottomley, coach, first base and spark-plug of the browns defense; probably himself at second; Harlan Gift at third and Bill Knickerbocker at short. Harry Davis, late of Toledo, is Bottomley's Gerard Lipscornb and Tom Carey are fighting for the post Hornsby might not fill.
 The outfield posts, except one, ap- pear to be sewed up by the veterans Joe Vosmik, recently of Cleveland, and Ethan Allen, ex-regular of five National League teams. The third probably will go to Roy (Beau) Bell, who batted .344 last year. Re- serve outfielders are Ed. Coleman, Sam West and Mel Mezzera.

Illegal Retailing of Tax

GREENVILLE, S. c., Mar. 26.
Sheriff John A. Martin estimated
yesterday that more than 1000
bootleg joints" are being Operat-
cd in Greenvillc county and de-
clarcd that many of them illegally
retail liquor, making it practically
impossible for officers to seize
their tax-paid stocks.
Others cling to the time-hon-
orcd custom of selling mountain
made moonshine, and as a consc-
oucnce the illicit distilling indus
try in upper Greenville county is
"practically as good as it ever
was" the youthful law enforce
ment chief maintained.
Particularly bad in urban sec
tons" Sheriff Martini declared,
"are the bootleggers of legal
stuff, selling tax-paid whiskey at
all hours of the day and night and
on Sunday, but against whom we
are powerless to move unless we
can get direct evidence of sale,
and that. of course, is almost i'm
possible"

Over 10000 acres of white pine

and 5000 currant and gooseberry
bushes have been destroyed to
protect this pine. The pine in
Henderson county has a value of
over 100000, the standing tim

addition to the native pine stands
there are thousands of ornamen-

In view of this wealth of white
