alleged in the Meany Thomas re-
port; that it had increased % per
cent as shown by the direct pricing
methods of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and that there had been
an additional hidden increase of
not more than 3 or per cent, more
than half of which is due to quality
deterioration not directly measurable
but painstakingly estimated by the
Mitchell Committee, and practically
all OF which results from the dis
advantage of the buyer in sellers

Asserting finally that "the accu-
racy of the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics index figures for what they are
intended to measure Is confirmed"
by its studies, the majority said the
bureau index for last September
shows costs up 25.4 per cent over

be added the Mitchell estimate of

per cent" the report concluded.
In his dissent attacking the bureau
Index, Mr.. Thomas said, that it is
inadequate because it fails to take
into account forced changes In the
manner of living" along with the
consideration of unit prices. Ampli-
flying, he said that war workers have
gone into congested centers where
prices have been abnormally high"

Thomas Explains Dissent.
Addressing the President directly,
he said
"The A per cent rise In total liv-
Ing costs has imposed 80 per cent
sales tax on American workers, and
the 1880 per cent rise in retail
prices which Mr.. Davis reports has
imposed at least Is per cent sales
tax upon American workers"
The Meany dissent substantially
repeated this argument, and citing
wages in building and printing
trades, bakeries, trucking and street
railways. said that "the peacetime
living standard has been seri-
ously cut away"

IL
NEW YORK,Oct. 13-(RESince
the recent World series there has
been considerable debate as to the
relative merits OF Honus Wagner
and Marty Marion as shortstops'
I and although we have seen Marion
and think he is the best we ever
! did see at the position, and never
saw Wagner play, we still think II
is a silly argument even for those
who saw both men. ..-..
It's too much like comparing
from memory the big apple OF the
1910 crop and the big apple OF the
1914 crop, and even if you mao
measurements to go by as you
have statistics in baseball 1neS
often are misleading.
Naturally the debate must DC
confined to field ability as wnen
! II comes to batting and durability
il is strictly no contest. wagner
nlaved m ajor league baseball
about 1s years and had a hitting
average of 1929, the blows lnciuo-
inc a mess of doubles and triples
which took lot Of power ana run
ming in those days Of the clay
baseball.
Marion has been in the big show
onlv five years and his plate ave-
rage is ..275, give or take rev
,oints, so if you were to choose
the man you would want on your
teamyou'd have to pick the cute
Dutchman, even If his fielding
was admittedly corner lot com
nared with the current st. Louis
stars.
But even the fielding is open to
question as fielding averages often
are misleading, and if you were to
60 on percentage alone you'd have
| to take Eddie Miller ahead o.
either of them. Wanger's lifetime

SPORTS TRAIL

fielding mark is .946. Marion's, for
his five years, is around 1858. Mil
ler's, for six years and some odd
games, holvers around .972.
There are so many things that
enter into field averages, and the
good Zeke Bonura, VIGOROUSLY a
liability in the field, would point
with pride to a quite satisfactory
mark, although those who had
watched him play knew the mark
was achieved chiefly through his
inability to get his hands on a ball
unless it was in self defense.
That doesn't hold true in COM
pairing Miller and Marion, how
ever, as Miller, from the stand
point of gaining just acclaim, is
handicapped by his sheer eff
cheney and lack of color, while
the reedy Marion stands out like
a flagpole on henhouse when
ever ne makes even simple
play.
BIT getting back to Marion and
Wagner, we still think a compari-
son of their fielding ability is silly,
and is too much like comparing
Joe Louis with John L. Sullivan,
with the man OF the distant past
uaually winning out with men who
had seen both due to the Paul
Bunyan stature assumed with the
passing years.
Anyway, if you want a couple Of
opinions from those whose opinions
should count, Ed Barrow says that
Wagner is the greatest ball player
he ever saw, not only at short
stop, but including players of all
positions, and John McGraw had
the same idea. Barrow might be
a little prejudiced, in that he dis
covered Wagner throwing rocks at
barns or something or other, but
McGraw had no reason to be par
tial to a Pittsburgh Pirate.

Wake Forests undefeated Deacons
will be seeking tc climb another
notch towards their first southern
conference championship when

card.

who are. playing their first college
football this season. The cadets
got off to an un-impressive start
by losing to Catawba, rs, but
snapped back with surprise last
week to nose the University Of
Richmond's Viz club $500 in a
free-scoring thriller.
Highlighting the campaign of
conference teams against outsiders
tomorrow will be the Duke-Navy
game at Baltimore and the Will
liam and Mary-Penn scrap at Phil
adelphia.
Duke dropped two close games
in a row to Penn and N. c. Navy
Preflight after crushing Richmond
in the opener and will be in for an
other g-uelling afternoon tomorrow.
Navy has gotten the nod of the
dcpesters because of the midship-
mems big reserve fund of material.
The only immediate comparative
score ranks them even, however,
both losing to the N. c. Preflight
Cloudbusters by one touchdown
margins.
William and Mary carries per-
feet record for the season against
Penn bat the Green Indians are
not expected to have much of a
chance against the indicated
northerners who have kayoed Duke

complishments so far have been
