Except for Ross. Canzoneri and
Armstrong. Pacho would have be-
ccme champion of the world, but
as it developed he became a pro-
tector for those champions because
he walloped half a hundred would

Pacho. whose punches have slow
ed lust a little. whose defense has
begun To set a trifle slower and
whose footwork has become a slight
effort. will meet another valley
battler destined for greater days
in the ring.
In Herman Graves Pacho will
meet a youn2ster with the vim and
stamina that only youth can pro-
vide. He will meet stiff puncher
and fast mover, but to counteract

ponent's weaknesses.

Scarcity of Fast
Pitchers Puzzles
Connie Mack

NEW YORK, April 25. tuP)
Connie Mack. dean of the dia-
mond, is admittedly perplexed
by the scarcity of fastball pitch
ers coming up to the majors.
MY goodness. l don't know
what has happened to our young
men in the last few years." said
the tall, thin president and
manager of the Athletics. "They
seem to have lost all their
throwing speed. It's rarity
now when a boy with real
fastball joins any major league
club"
Connie was standing beside
the Athletics dugout in the
stadium. He wore long dark
top tcpcoat. The inevitable
scorecard peeped out of pock-
ct. 1t was nearly time for an
ether tussle with the Yanks.
Connie said he couldn't even
guess at the reason for diminish
ing rookie speed on all fronts.
And this was surprising indeed
because the 76-year-old pat
riarch of the pellet pastime can
give you the correct answer to
almost any problem in the game.

President Seeks Aid
OF Retailers 10 Avert
'Unwarranted' Prices
Association Replies Thot
Merchants, Too, Are
Aroused Over Increases

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-President
Roosevelt today sought the Coop
Grafton Of the Nations retailers in
protecting the public. from "unwar-
ranted" price increases as the result
Of the European war.
THE retailers responsibility to
the buying public will unquestion-
ably be increased by the tragic
events abroad" the President wrote
the National Retail Dry Goods As
sociation. These developments will
demand business craftsmanship to
discourage and prevent any unwar-
ranted advance in prices.
1T is absolutely essential that we
protect the consumer by preventing
any general rise in prices. Unwar-
ranted increase In prices would abb
sorb purchasing power and block
expansion Of sales volume. Such a
development would be serious
threat to continuance of our busi-
ness progress"
Lew Hahn, general manager of
the association, which made pub
lie the letter, said
I'VE find ourselves in agreement
with the President, but 1t is neces-
sary to point out that retailers have
no control over what is happening
in production and wholesaling mar
kets. Just now, for example, re-
tailers generally are confused and
indignant over price advances which
are being made in certain lines OF
merchandise.
Retailers are not aware OF any
threatened shortages of raw mate
rials as yet. They know of nothing
which can justify stiff price ad-
vances and they are disposed TO op-
pose such movements wherever pos
sible. ."

point from the middle of July to
the end of August. The index then
rose from 55.6 per cent of the 1926
average on August 81 to $50 on
September 8, an advance of II per
cent.
The movement in wholesale
prices in some commodities has
been fully reflected In the rise in
retail prices. Thus the wholesale
price of sugar advanced from 28O
cents per pound on August IS to 385
cents on September 7. almost the
same absolute increase as occurred
in the average retail price for sugar.
Wholesale -four advanced from $4.85
per barrel to $5.42h. a percentage
increase of IL per cent, a somewhat
smaller increase than in retail prices
in most cities. Wholesale lard
prices increased by over 3 cents Der
pound or 81 per cent, while retail
prices advanced by about l cent q
pound from about 10 cents to II
cents. Pork loins at wholesale ad-
vanced more than pork chops at
