Great Portsiders

The former Blue Ridge lad Is one
Of the most consistent, reliable play
ers In the game today. Unlike Rube
Waddell, one Of the greatest left
handlers. he has developed no eccen-
tricities. Rube's screwbaII charac-
teristics kept him from being the
greatest.
The 1889 season Is seeing a south
paw famine. Right now Il looks As
II Robert Moses Grove, the se-year-
old gray-haired Sunday pitcher, will
be the only one 10 win more than
Is games.
Other left handlers In both leagues
are having more than their share Of
difficulties. Gomez, Wander Nicer,
Lee, Hubbell, Krakauskas, Melton,
Whitehill-in fact, all Of them, are
running far below expectations.
So chances are that the Lonacon.
ing lancer, who has been pitching ON
borrowed time for Eve years, win be
the only southpaw to come through
with a creditable record when the
1899 season Is ended.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1939-08-24
Speed Ball Artist

Lefty started out as q fire ball
pitcher. No other southpaw could
touch his fast ball, and he depended
largely upon it. He was strictly
speed ball artist. But even the great
est pitchers can't 60 on forever
smoking them over, and he finally
felt his speed slipping. Grove then
developed curve ball and change
of pace. He studied his batters,
learned their weaknesses, and out
smarted them. He saved his arm,
and when the occasion demands, can
still summon plenty of speed, which
he uses sparingly.
Tom Yawkey, owner Of the Boston
Red Sox, bought Grove from Connie
Mack in 1884, paying slightly more
than 100000 for him. Lefty had re-
ported at the training camp with q
dead arm, and the experts were
cOngratulating Mack for . smart
operator. Grove wasn't much help
to the Sox that first season, his arm
failed to respond. He finished the
season with record Of eight won
and eight lost.
The following year Mack wasn't so
sure he had put over a good deal.
Lefty was back in form. winning 20
games for Boston and losing IL.
His career seemed ended again
last year when his arm went dead
while he was pitching against De-
troit. But once more he returned
to form, and through the early part
Of August this year, had won IL
games and lost two. Not at all
bad considering that the crepe-hang-
ers saw the end Of his big league
pitching days back in 1884.

ship has insisted publicly that the
contributions it made in the 1886
campaign entitle it to special priv
ileges at the hands of the present
administration.
There is no evidence that any
body in the administration was con-
sciously influenced by what the c.
I. o. contributed in the 1886 cam
paign, and the imputation by Mr.
Lewis, in statement to the press,
that there was an obligation of
some sort resulted in an almost
immediate repayment of the $4,000
loan as a means of showing the ad-
ministration's displeasure over the
incident.
There is no doubt that the c. I.
o. wields considerable influence in
the present administration. but no.
body can truthfully say that the
money contributed by the C. /. o.
brought this about, though the pres
ence Of large number of votes
among c. I. o. unions no doubt
had its effect, just as numerical
voting strength customarily does
when exercised by other pressure
groups, such as farmer associations
or various trade union factions that
do not contribute money but give
canvassing time to line up their
members both before and on elec-
ton days.

good case against us. Further, there
are reasons to suspect that alto
gether friendly nations will get
steamed up enough about our SUBJ
sidy system to erect new trade bar
riers against us. That would be
stinging blow to Secretary of State
Hull who has spent half dozen
years trying to be beacon light OF
unrestricted trade.
German propagandists say that
the United States, the great moral
ist Nation, condemns Germany for
building up her trade by tricky de-
vices and at the same time tries the
same tricks in her own Yankee way.
Wallace Explains.
There is no doubt that the United
States lowered its currency value SO
as to cut in on world trade, and
equally no doubt that we are in the
subsidy business. even though in a
limited way. We have paid an
average of 25 cents bushel to help
export 10000 bushels of wheat. Now
we. are going to pay IL cents a
pound, or $3.50 bale, to increase
our cotton exports from about $780,
900 bales to 100000.
Because of Germany's efforts to
penetrate our tariff barriers by Of
fering subsidies, the Treasury i'm
posed a Is per cent penalty tariff on
German imports Privately, some
administration officials suspect that
when the cotton subsidy goes into
effect, some other countries will pile

penalty tariffs on United States cot
ton goods. for Of course the sub
sidy we offer is paid both on exports
Of raw cotton and on exports of
cotton goods.
Secretary Wallace Is trying to
soften any foreign kickback by ex-
planning that we are simply trying
to get back markets which we lost
through pegging our domestic prices,
by cotton and wheat loans, at
level above competitive world prices.
But Germany has asserted that she
is trying only to get back markets
taken away from her during the
World War.
But How Else?
No matter how successful the SUBJ
sidy program may be in unloading
a part of the 10000, ,00O-bale sur
plus of cotton and the surplus of
wheat, the program has put a taint
on our appeals for restoration Of
open, untrammeled international
trade.
Just how the country otherwise
would meet the situation is prob
lem. United States exports of cotton
have been cut almost in half while
Brazil, India, China and Egypt, the
principal rivals, have picked up
where we lost.
Regardless Of the morality of
the situation, the subsidy program
promises to raise Cain in spots. The
wheat subsidy raised trouble at once.
Subsidized United States wheat was
destined for Brazil when Argentina
protested that we were trying to
take from her a market legitimately
hers. In the interests of good
neighborliness we backed out Of that
deal.
Both Canada and England have
it in their power to cause trouble
in other directions. 1t Is reported
here that Canadian officials already
are looking up the possibility of ac-
cepting the lower priced raw cotton,
but insisting on penalty tariff on
subsidized American cotton goods
In that way both England and
Canada could get the benefit of
cheap cotton and yet protect their
home markets from subsidized
American cotton goods.
All in all, the thing raises heaps
of problems to be taken up at the
international cotton conference here
in September.

Court BuIks Refundino
OF Arkansas Road Debt

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. IT,
The State Supreme Court, in a four
to-three decision yesterday, blocked
Gov. Carl E. Bailey's plans for an
immediate refunding of the States
s140,OOo,OO0 highway bond debt.
The court held invalid an emer-
gency clause attached to the re-
funding act by recent special
Legislature, but declined to pass,
at this time, on constitutionality of
the act itself.
The emergency clause was de-
signed to make the act effective at
once, and was described by the Gov
ernor as essential to his refunding
plans. Without the clause, the act
would not be effective until Octo-
ber 30, month after the date in
which the proposed refunding
would have to be carried out, un-
der Gov. Bailey's proposals.

The country-lad motif figuring
so frequently in the lives of ma
tional leaders in industry, trade and
the professions is found in the ca
reer of Samuel Kress, who was born
rs years ago in the village of Cher
ryville, Pa. Attending public school
in his native town, he worked after
hours selling newspapers. clerking
in local stores at rush times and
toiling in the stone and slate quar-
ries abounding in this region. At
II he passed examinations quail
flying him as a teacher and was in
stalled in a school of 80 pupils.
But trade rather than pedagogy
called him, and so he bought out
small stationery and novelty store
in Nanticoke, Pa. This was in 1887,
when he was "a years old. His next
venture came in 1890, when he
started a wholesale stationery and
toy business in Wilkes-Barre, retain
ing, however, the little Nanticoke
shop.
During this time he studied the
chain-store idea, and after long and
careful consideration he launched
his plan in 1896 at Memphis, Tenn.
Between that year and 1900 he
demonstrated his faith in the future
of the South by installing IL stores
throughout Dixie. Then he sold his
two Pennsylvania stores, left Wilkes
Barre and established headquar-
tiers and residence in New York.
With the chain of Southern stores as
a nucleus the present organization
