Stockpiling
Bill Seen as
Aid to Nation

WASHINGTON.-The future Sc
curity of the nation is greatly en-
HANGED by the inclusion of section
81, the strategic and critical miner
ais and metals stockpiling clause, in
the surplus property bin, recently
passed by the senate, according TO
Senator James E. Murray of Mon
tana, chairman of the senate small
business committee
The language of the Hayden
clause as passed by the senate is as
follows:
StOck-PiIing
Sec. q. All government-owned
accumulations of strategic minerals
and metals, including those owned
by any government corporation,
shall be transferred by the owning
agency, when determined to be sur
plus pursuant to this act, to the ac-
count of the treasury procurement
division and shall be added to the
stock-pile authorized by the act of
June Z, 1889 (53 Stat. BIZ, as
amended, and shall be subject to its
provisions. The minerals and metals
may be transferred in any form in
which they are held, but the own
ing agency or the treasury procure
ment division is authorized either
before or after such legal transfer
to cause such minerals or metals to
be put into forms suited for storage
and use for the common defense. As
used in this section the phrase
strategic minerals and metals"
means all minerals and metals in
cluded in either group A or group
b of the list of strategic and critical
materials determined upon by the
Army and Navy Munitions board
on March 6, 1914, and any other
minerals or metals which said
board determines should be added
to group A or group B, and shall
include ores, concentrates, alloys,
scrap, and partially and completely
fabricated articles of which the
principal components by value con-
sist of such minerals and metals,
but shall not include such fabri-
Gated articles as the army and navy
determine are not suitable for their
use in the form in which fabricated
and which may be disposed of COM
mercially at value substantially in
excess of the metal market price of
the component minerals and metals
of such fabricated articles. Trans
fers under this section shall be
made without reimbursement or
transfer of funds except that, if the
Reconstruction Finance corpora
ton or any of its subsidiaries is the
owning agency for any property so
transferred, the secretary of the
treasury shall cancel notes of the
Reconstruction Finance corporation
in an amount equal to the cost of
the property so transferred.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Al
giers, Feb. 8.-Allied pugilists of all
weights and ranks began arriving
today for their final tune-up for the
free-for-all allied championship
bouts scheduled to start in Algiers
next Monday.
Many of the fighters, professional
and amateur, were pulled out of the
fighting fronts especially for these
bouts. Some still wore the dirt OF
the bitter campaigning around the
Casino (Italy) sector when they
checked into fight headquarters at
nearby Palm Beach, a palm -fringed
rest camp by the sea, commanded
by First 1t. C. Mark Thomas of San
Antonio, Tex.
Among the first arrivals was Pvt.
Walter Zippel, light-heavyweight,
of Hollywood, Calf. He suffered a
badly cut left eye in a preliminary
bout two weeks ago, but said it did
not bother him..
Corpl. Charles Sherman, Green

scored stunning upset in the early

airy for 1880 and 1881, which has
never been equaled, and you have

Jesse Owens, third choice Of the
athletic scribes, still holds six world
records in the track book
The crack Negro runner was a
sensation as a schoolboy, then at
Ohio State University and later as
a member of the last United States
Olympic team in 1886
Owens records include three he
made on May Is, 1885, when as a
Buckeye he outfooted all the other
Big Tenners. The events and times
were 220-yard dash. 20.3; 22O-yard
low hurdles. 226; broad jump, &c

100-yard mark of 94 the same after
noon.
Then, there was that happy day
in Berlin when, as an American
competitor, Owens won the 100 and
200 meters, the broad jump Gall new
Olympic records, and he made
Hitler feel even worse when he
spanked the United States relay
team to a new record.

Thorpe's track and football career
landed him only one vote behind
the great Yankee first baseman.
Johnny Wander Nicer, the Gin
cinnati Reds pitcher who hurled
two no-hit, no-run games in a row
and Red Grange, Illinois immortal
"galloping ghost" of the gridron,
tied for seventh place in the memo
ries of the sports editors.
Then came that Georgia peach,
Ty Cobb, whose hitting marks still
stand in baseballs little red book
Jack Dempsey, and Cornelius War

pole vault more than Is feet. The
latter two tied for 10th place.

Baseball Is Optimistic
As Little Loops Add
500 10 Rosters
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. s.-Minor
league baseball has added 500 play
ers to its contract lists since the
close Of last season by a careful
combing of the bushes and appears
to have quieted fears of an immedi-
ate manpower shortage.
This was the consensus OF baseball
men who conclude four-day mid
winter session with National
League meeting today.
After hearing stories about pro-
posed transfer OF the Brooklyn
Dodgers and discussing candidates
for the Boston managerial job in
private confabs, the senior circuit
owners got together to discuss post
war recommendations and exchange
ideas on the current season.
In hotel lobby forums baseball
displayed an optimistic air both as
regards the big show and the minors.
Reserve Lists About Average.
Although 3,100 men now are on
the minors national defense list, the
10 leagues expected to operate in
1914 will require only / 1,26o when they
have pared down to their player
limits. Actual reserve list totals are
unavailable due to draft depletlons
since the last compilation, but Ma
| tional Association reports indicate
that the figures are about average
for this time Of the year. e.,
Scouts and tips from former play
ers and fans always produce a crop
of inexperienced performers from
the sandlots and school yards, OF
which only few normally can stand
up under the pressure of profess
sional ball.
With the pressure off little bit
and the players getting more chance
for a thorough trial, baseball folk
expect to find many real prospects
among the crop Of 500 new men.
Confident They'll Get Along.
Minor league men, here for 3
furry Of meetings, reflected big
league confidence. One owner.
Thomas McCaf1rey of Albany Of the

more players now than we did last
