When you call the st. Louis
Browns a baseball club you have
to smile when you say it-but it
isn't the Brownies fault. They've
been in the American League dun
geon so long the light of the first
division would give them eye
strain.
There's really only one thing
wrong with the Browns, and
that's pitching. The inhabitants
of Sportsmen's Park, hard by the
banks of or Mizzou, have a flock
of hitters and some fielders who
hold their own with the best. A
paradox is observed when looking
at the Browns team record.
SECOND IN BATTING
st. Louis was second in club
batting last year, earning a team
average of .285. three more points
than the feared Homicide Squad"
of the New York Yankees. But
the Browns weren't as effective
in the pinches driving in only 682
runs which placed them seventh
in that department.
In fielding, St. Louis placed
third in 1887, but in pitching last!
And there's the rub. The
Brownies had a collective earned
run average of 500, hardly a
creditable standard.
The Buck NewSom-for-Joe Vos-
mix trade with the Red Sox
robbed the Browns of a powerful
hitter but gave them an excellent
hurler. Buck is a tempermental
young man but he can pitch when
his Surroundmgs are happy and
ST.. Louis seems to be his town.
NewScm was quoted recently as
saying he was glad he was back
with the Browns, his former team
before he was traded to Washing
ton. The big highlander won Is
and lost IA last season and had an
earned run average of 4.81.
He was traded by the Mats to
Boston in midSeason last year.
NewSom'S acquisition should boil.
ster the weak flinging corps
whose star" was Jack Knott. The
latter led his hurting teammates
but won only while losing 10,
which should give some idea of
the rest of the staff.
LACKS INTEREST
The trade of Playboy Rollie
HemSley admittedly will weaken
the catching department, but Billy
Sullivan. who was obtained from
Cleveland along with Infielder Roy
Hughes and Pitcher Ed Cole in ex-
change for HemSley, may fill the
gap.
Billy is as good as he wants to
be but he hasn't shown much in
tereSt in the game. Sullivan is
talented. He can play any infield
position, can hit and knows how
to work pitchers.
Hughes will be used at second.
Cole was strikeout king of the
Texas League and may give New
som considerable help in carrying
the pitching burden. Gabby
Street, who fell heir to the man
agerial mantle of Rogers Hornsby,
is enthusiastic about Cole. Ed
Linke, obtained from Washington
for the ageing Ellen Hogsett, may
have a good year-but don't bet
on it.
The good old Brown standbys-
Beau Bell, Harland Cliff and
Sammy WeSt-will be doing bust
ness at the same old stand. Each
Is a 300 hitter but each, unfortu-
nately, has been mired by the poor
hurting. The trio would get a
flock of runs only to see its ef-
forts ride over the fence with a
nice groove ball supplied by some
member of the nitchinu staff

During the World War, Food Ad-
ministrator Herbert Hoover was,
of course, conserving everything
and suggested vigorously to Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson that horse
racing be stopped until the emer
gency would be over.
SAVED INDUSTRY
Wilson, would make no move in
this respect before consulting his
physician and friend, Admiral
GraySon. The latter offered the
suggestion that horses in training
consumed less grain than those
standing IDLY in the stall, and
Hoover was so informed. This
plain logic made Admiral Grayson
the toast of every racer of horse
flesh in the country because it
affected what. of course, had
come to be an immense industry.
Another story had Admiral
Grayson as its main figure:
Back toward the turn of the
century he was much interested
in obtaining a mare of the fam.
Gus Rock Sand strain, controlled
by August Belmont. He wrote to
the sportsman inquiring the pos
Sibility of obtaining such a Steed.
In what was interpreted as a
snooty reply, Belmont wrote Gray
son to the effect the latter didn't
have money enough to buy Rock
Sand.
PROPER RETORT
A good many years later Bel
mont himself was driving through
Virginia and admired a colt to
the extent that he stopped his
vehicle and crossed the road to
make a closer observation.
Learning the horse was the
property of Grayson, Belmont
wasted no time inquiring as to the
possibility of acquiring it.
Grayson wasted no time dis
patching his answer, which said:
You haven't money enough
to buy the horse"
Admiral GraySon was equally
interested in horse shows as he
was in racing and breeding, al
ways taking an active part in the
affairs of the National Capital
Horse Show affairs. Associated
with him in these were his good
friends, Commissioner Melvin
Hazen and Johnny Geen, proprie-
tor of the Meadowbrook Club on
, East-West Highway.

The above figures were taken from an editorial
in the Dawson Sentinel, which appeared under the
caption 1--WE Planned 1t That Way" and they were
given by Representative Bertrand Smell, of New York
State who read the figures and sad
Gust stop and consider these official government
figures. Consider how many acres Of land it would
have taken to have produced these imported farm
products, and how much more the income of the
American farmer would have been If had raised
these additional amounts at home instead of import
ing them from the foreign farmer. This New Deal Ad
minstration has sold the American farmer down the
river"
Since Mr. SHELLS statement, Secretary Of State
Hull has belitted the story told by the 1932-1937
import figures by pointing out that figures for the
first six months of 1888 apparently tell entirely
different story. An analysis by foreign trade ex-
pert, not connected with the New Deal State De-
partment, points out that in 1887 there
droughts in Canada the Argentine and several other
important countries, while the United States had an
above average crop.
'This large increase Tin exports and decrease in
imports in the first half Of 1885, this authority
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1938-09-01

is due entirely to that situation. The increase in
grain exports is temporary in nature and will begin
to decrease soon the foreign crops come into
the world market.
Furthermore, speaking only Of the first quarter
of 1885, it is found that exports to trade agree
ment countries have increased 80 per cent over the
same period of 1887 while to non-trade agreement
countries have have increased 20.S per cent. Our
imports. the other hand, have decreased but 438
per cent to trade agreement countries while to
trade agreement countries they have decreased 423
per cent.
1.-THE proponents of the trade agreement policy
not viewing present world conditions in a real
istc manner If they would first analyze the nature
of export increases, and second analyze the for
eign and domestic policies of most nations, they
would realize that genuine reciprocity is not pos
sible today"
Thos. Gallagher, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, made very favorable impression when he
spoke to audience in the grandstand at the Searns
County Fair Sunday evening Mr.. Gallagher is an
outstanding Democrat and a credit to the party He
has repeatedly stated that he will not quit for any
party as was the case in the campaign of two years
ago. His talk was short, snappy and to the point.

Congressman Harold Knutson in his talk to
Stearns County fair visitors Monday evening said
I'VE cannot be prosperous until return to a
protective tariff and give the American market back
to the American farmer"
In making the foregoing statement he comment
ed on the New Deals favored nations treaty and
the fact that have thrown doors open to for
eign imports. We can have no prosperity when
buy foreign products, especially farm products, in

depressed market is of great concern to us
in the farm regions, and greater of
grown products should raise the price. Imports of
farm products from 1882 to 1887 have grown ire
mendously, and the figures of both years stag
gering. They suggest that the policy of the past
several years has been failure, and that the Amer
lean market has been turned to foreigners. We
herewith publish these figures for comparison:

Insidious and Sinister Influences At Work

AT the Stearns County Fair Monday evening Har-
old Stassens statement that supporting either
Communism or Fascsm will be permitted on the pay
rolls OF Minnesota under his administration if elect
ed, brings to mind that insidious and sinister in
fuences are at work. with the object of changing
form OF government. An amazing of evidence
is being gathered by the Dies Congressional commit
tee investigating un-Amercan activities which must
prove conclusively that influences are at work to
fost upon foreign isms, obnoxious to the freedom
of Americans.
Those, who are fearful and jealous of the Amer
lean form of democratic government, not willing
to believe that all is merely smoke screen that
there is danger from foreign directed un-American
activities in this country They boring from with
in and the nsdous nature of this boring arises from
the fact that many patriotic Americans giving
aid to groups which really directed by Commun-
lists or Fascists Good citizens have been induced to
lend their support to Fascists under the guise of
opposing Communism, while others join organiza-
lions promoted by Communists under the urge to
fight Fascism.
Both classes of alien-minded groups often choose
deceptive names, and under the guise of youth
movement world peace, their openly avowed pur-
poses often seem harmless, and worthy of sup
port Such organizations endanger the very founda-
ton upon which government is built and Ameri
cans should investigate thoroughly before giving
either moral or financial support to such groups.
1t is time to awaken to this grave danger, which
can no longer be waved aside mere imagination.
Mr.. Stassen is right aen-minded people should not
be on the government payrolls of any state the
nation, and those affiliated with subversve elements
SHOULD be fired from high public office at once, if
our liberties are to be maintained. We must not
fail to protect heritage ably and well express
ed by the following verse of John Boyle O'Reily:
Here this soil
Began the kingdom, not of kings, but men,
Began the making of the world again;
Where equal rights and equal bonds were set;
Where all the people equal-franchsed met;
Where doom writ of privilege and crown;
Where human breath blew all the idols down.
Where crests nought, where vulture flags were
furled,
And common men began to the world"
