PARIS, April THE Spanish
government last night assured
France there had been no recent
landing of italian troops at Cadiz,
Spain.
The formal assurances were given
Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet
by Spanish Ambassador Jose Felix
Lequerica in response to French and
British requests to Burgos for "clari-
f1cation" of persistent rumors of
fresh italian troop movements to
Spain.
Lequerica was called to the foreign
Office by M. Bonnet soon after re-
ports circulated that $4,000 Italian
troops, previously rumored to have
landed at Cadiz, were Alpine soldiers
trained for mountain fighting.

'0'nnA $ 1on 552- 52- From this table the author conclude the cost, without storage, to be about 9G per dozen. He states that storage for seven or eight months would cost from 5 to 5 cents more. e.< Since, under local cond iti ons, the costs attributed to losses in bad and low grade egrs, comnission, and drayage may be el minated, while the costs of handling and grading, and case and pecking are somewhat hirher, 9 charge of 92. .OO to $2.lO per case should cover the cost Of handling when there is sufficient volume of eggs passing through the Creamery. This would amount to 6 2/3 to z cents per dozen.
 At the present time, the nark-up on the different grades, vi it!?out cartons, is as fellows: Extra Large 7G, Large 6c, Medium 6e, Small 2f, Cracks 4G.

Speaking of Sports
Check Yanks?
League Must
Hold Players
BY ROBERT McSHANE

r ASEBALL experts, officials and
= fans are almost unanimous in
their belief that something must be
done about the New York Yankees
before they eliminate all thought of
competition in the American league.
The Yanks won the 1886 Ameri-
can league pennant by 1914 games.
In 1887 they won by 10 games, and
in 1888 by 9k games. The belief
that their superiority was growing
less pronounced-a belief fostered
by the diminishing margin of vic
tory-has proved untrue.
In the American league circuit it
is being said that the Yanks will be

ball, you will agree that some steps
must be taken to revive an interest
already tagging.
When Lou Gehrig benched him
self they lost one Of the greatest
players Of all time. When Joe Di-
Maggie sprained an ankle they lost,
temporarily, today's outstanding
player. But what happened with
those two great performers out Of
the lineup? The Yanks, with Babe
Dahlgren on first base, won II out
of their next 20 games.
Keep Talent at Home
Not long ago Oscar Witt, Cleve-
land manager, limited that New York
was running the American league by
snatching~ all the pennants and by
shipping talent, fresh from the mi
nors and good enough for other clubs
in the same circuit, to the National
league.
To bear him out a hasty survey
shows that in the last three years
the Yanks have sold Bob Seeds, out
1CioSA, oA1o COAlIl1ly MCSoA lily, III ~
baseman, to the Giants; Outfelder
Jim Gleeson to the Cubs, Shortstop
Nolen Richardson and Catcher Will
lard Hershberger to the Reds and
Shortstop Eddie Miller to the Bees.
The last named is being hailed as
one of the best infelders to enter
the National league in years. AL
most any club in the Yanks' home
circuit would have been glad to get
him.
During the coming year officials
of the league are certain to discuss
methods of equalizing the strength
of its teams. They cannot, of course,
take fOrcible measures and distrib-
ute the Yanks' star performers
among the weaker clubs. Nor is it
likely the team will be voluntarily
broken up by player sales.
One course is open to American
league officials. They can do all in
their power to urge the Yanks to
keep all excess material in their
home circuit. This would be in di-
rect contrast to the Yanks' present
policy of selling players only to
those teams which can't possibly
threaten their supremacy. Over a
long period the Yanks' present ac-
tons will build up the National
league at the expense of the Amer
lean, a costly process in the end.
