Corsairs Chatter
CHARLIE GERACE
Hello folks:

Hello folks:
 Back again with more gossip of whats doing amongst the boys.
 The Corsairs Juniors, explained by the able (1ig) Dick stoln will take the field against the Aviglia- nese A. 0. in a Eoftball encounter at Fulton Park. on Sunday morn- ing. The captain, Dick Stoln wants the following members to report at Fulton Park: Donnie (Doc) Mancini; Joe and Al De Palma; Toonts Nardozzi; Tony and Micky Guerrero; Twinky Bovino; Trucks zilaro and Yours truly.
 The boys have begun tossing the pigskin around which indicates that football is just around the corner, and incidentally Joe Chops" Zilaro is fighting for guard berth on the first string of Leavenworth High and the boys wish Chops" all the luck in the world.
 Eddie Fitzpatrick the lone Detroit rooter of the Detroit Tigers is all smiles these days and the reason Is that Hank Greenburgh is blasting away at the home-run record of Babe Ruth. Eddie predicts that Hank will hit at least 62 homers.
 Joe Landolfi is going to take in the Red Sox-New York Yankee game at the Stadium. Joe is hoping to see Jimmy Foxx pole one out of the park.
 Here are the favorite big league ball teams that each member roots for: Dick Stolfi, Philadelphia Ath- letics; Donnie Doc Mancine, Boston Red Sox; Joe and Al De Palma, New York Yankees; Eddie Fitzpat- rick, Detroit Tigers; Frank Jake" Nardozzi and Cossy DePalma, New York Giants: Nicky Guerrero, Pitts burgh; Harry Bovine, Cincinnati Reds.
 Now that the boys have finished playing hard ball the Juniors are looking forward to enter the Recre- ation League in the coming year.
 
 Tootie Nardozzi, Tony Guerrero, Mickey Guerrero, and Jerry Uncle" Covillo played softball against a team made up of girls at Brassco park, Sunday afternoon in a soaking rain; the boys barely managed to eke out a 2-l decision over the femmes.

WET DAYS MAY PUSH PIRATES
 INTO PENNANT
Cubs May Have to Play 6 Games in } Days-Ap-

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NOHlteu ETeSS StbH COTEeSpUHuCHbl
 New York, Sept. 20-(UP)-Every little rain drop has meaning all Its own to Pie Trayunor and his Pitts burgh Pirates these days. When clouds gather overhead and 1t starts to pour its like mama from heaven to Pie and his bold Buccaneers who are likely to ride the 'no-game-to- day-rain" storms right into the Na- tional league pennant.
 Let 1t rain, let it pour is the Pirates war-cry as they battle" through the muck and rain to the privilege of challenging the Yankees right to rule the baseball world. Games that can't be played can't be lost by the Pirates. And the Cubs can't catch the Pirates if they can't play.
 May Stand Up
 Yesterdays rainstorm along the eastern seaboard made the Pirates 3h game lead look insurmountable The Cubs had two games washed out with Brooklyn that they badly needed to win. There Is @ slight pos sibility that they may be played of on Friday, an open date for both clubs.
 President Ford Prick of the Ma -tional league has granted permis- sion for the Cubs to return to Brook lyn and play off the games. Manager Gabby Hartnett has until 6 o'clock tonight to give his answer. But to get the chance to play those two games the weather must permit Brooklyn and Pittsburgh to play doubleheaders today and tomorrow and the Cubs and Phillies to finish four games the same two days. Thus the Cubs will be faced with the pros- pect of three doubleheaders in three days if Hartnett decides to accept Tricks offer.
 The Cubs situation Is desperate because of their shortage of pitch CTS. Two rockies, Higbee and Epper- ly, have been nominated to pitch to- day against the Phils. That's how bad off Hartnet is for starters.
 If Pittsburgh wins half Its remain ing IA games, the Cubs will have to take 12 out of their IS, providing they get to play them all, to top the Pirates If the Pirates win eight games, the Cubs would be the only team with @ chance to nose them out and they would have to win 1S out of IS.
 Surprise!
 The St. Louis Browns, fresh out of the cellar, made mince-meat of the champion Yankees yesterday, in- fiicting the worst defeat of the year on the Ruppert rifles, l3-1. It marked the Tanks fourth straight loss for the first time this season. To add insult to injury only 75l per- sons, smallest crowd of the Yankee year, saw the champs humbled.
 The Browns slugged Wes Terrell, Ivy Andrews and Steve Sundra for l7 hits, with George McQuinn show ing the way with a homer, double and two singles to drive in five runs. Howard Mills let the Tanks down with six hits.
 Cleveland moved within half a game of second place by nosing out the Athletics, 4-3, on four hits of Caster and D. Smith. Jeff Heath's homer with two on was the big punch.
 Washington slugged out a l2-2 victory over the Tigers behind Pete Appleton's flve-hit pitching. Hank Greenberg was held to a single. Taft Wright and Buddy Myer made four hits apiece.

on deposit in the American banks
Further more, as shown above, the
gold credit base was about doubled by
the inflow Of the metal Gold has al
ways been regarded theoretically as a
l0-to-1 credit base-that is, a dollar
in gold can be expanded to $40 in
credit or deposits in the banks.
II you borrow money at the bank,
you generally leave part Of it there
in the form of deposits. whether time
or demand deposits. II you spend 1t
to buy something, the man you pay
in turn deposits it in a bank. The
same is true of the Government.
When it borrows from the banks by
selling them bonds to finance its bill
lions of deficit in its yearly operations
(the deficit resulting from its relief,
construction and other activities), it
creates deposits in the banks.
Deposits Swollen.
Only the Government can hold gold
in this country. Actually, however,
in holding all Of the gold supply in
the Treasury, it acts as a custodian
of gold for the banking structure of
the country. When it goes to the
banks to borrow. the Government uses
this supply of gold as its credit base.
The effect of the inflow Of gold and
the governmental borrowing upon the
money supply Of the country is best
shown in the amount OF demand and
time deposits on hand. In the men,

country and to benefit our export
trade, placing us in better competi-
tive advantage with, for instance,
Great Britain which had gone off,
the gold standard in 1881.
However. 1t was to have vast effect
in keeping money cheap and in max
ing the credit base of the country
greater than had ever been dreamed
of.
The gold content of the dollar was
cut about 40 per cent. In terms OF
the dollar. the price of gold was $20.67
an ounce before devaluation; after
wards, it was $35 an ounce. Before
devaluation. our gold supply in this
country amounted. in dollars, to
around $4,000. 100000. Afterwards, 1t
totaled almost s7,ooo,ooo.
Influx Of Gold.
Tremendous quantities Of gold from
all parts of the world began pouring
into the United States after the price
was raised to $35 an ounce. Today,
this Government has about $4,000
100000 in gold.
This gold. and the New Deals bor-
rowing and spending. have been re-
sponsible. in the main. for the crea-
ton of the large supply Of money on
hand today.
The gold coming into this country
played double role. in fact. in in
creasing the money supply and forcing
down money rates.
In view of present world conditions,

more often than not kept his proceeds

regime-was $50. .191 900 900.
At the end Of December, 1886. the
total was $32,372, 2,0O0. 900. use this
comparative date because the first
great wave of Government spending
reached its peak at the end of 1895
and gold also had started to flow this
way in great quantities.
Last March the total was $3l ,870,-
000. 900, and there has not been much
change either way since that time.
No Change Seen Soon.
So much for cheap money. There
are some things, perhaps. that I have
left out, such as an item OF upwards
of $500 ,00O, 900 increase in money sup
ply as a result of the Administrations
silver purchase program. But the es.
sentials have been covered, and we
have found that money is cheap be-
cause Of the large supply and the
smallness OF demand. We might have
guessed that in the beginning.
How long will we have cheap money?
Most of the experts see little change
in money rates for some months to
come.
As for credit, its abundance, or lack
Of it. current excess reserves and the
controlling hand of the Government

From early Spring through August,
the Federal Reserve poured $l,100,-
100000 cash into the banking struc-
ture Of the country through open mar
ket purchases Of Government securi-
ties
The next attempt in this field came
nj May, 1888, when the Roosevelt ad-
ministration began its operations. From
May to November. around $500, ,000. .000
more was put into the banks in this
way.
This was the end of these operations
and marks the first Government step
toward cheap money.
BY the end Of November, 1888, there
was around $500, ,000,0 900 in excess re-
serves in the member banks of the Re-
serve system-that is. $500, ,O00, 900 over
and above the minimum kept on hand
as required by law. It was felt in
Washington that this sum was sum-
cient to finance the recovery from the
long years OF the depression. So the
Roosevelt administration turned its
attention elsewhere.
T Devaluation.
Now we come to the second step
devaluation of the dollar.
The gold standard and all of its
ramifications is another course of
study in itself. Your favorite politi-
clan will be more than glad to explain
all about it to you. I'm sure he knows
more about 1t than do

If the Reserve Board buys. for ex-

its bank account. thereby increasing
the cash on hand in the banks by

Tor not so plentifuD, it tends to be-
come cheaper (or dearer). And since
the money in the banks is the base of

try is expanded or contracted.
