How to Flag a Runner
 When Frankie Frisch broke in with the New York Giants in the year 1920, he made the classic mis- take of mixing it up with Ty Cobb on the basepaths. The Giants were playing Detroit and Cobb came tearing into End, where Frisch was guarding the sack. Frankie had Ty by a mile. He just held his glove out waiting for Cobb to come into the base. Cobb came in gracefully and nonchalantly kicked the ball out of Franks glove.

'Yalta Pact Believed
To Rule Out German
Reparations in Cash
BY the Associated Press.

Iy tHc Associated freSS-
The Yalta agreement to exact
reparations lin kind from defeated
Germany is interpreted by officials
here to mean that reparations in
money have been ruled out.
This was the reaction of diplo-
matte authorities yesterday to the
statement of the London Weekly
Economist that there is reason to
believe" that the Big Three are
thinking of exacting reparations, of
$4,000, 100000 a year for 20 years.
So far as could be determined
this figure, even as a financial meas
ure of the reparations which might
be exacted in goods and services,
is relatively inaccurate. While Of
flcials declined to say what amount
would be more in line with Allied
thinking on the subject. it was in
dicated that the total mentioned by
the Economist is probably too large
1t is not expected here that the
United States will take much if
any German reparation.
The Economist, speculating on the
81 900 600 600 reparations report,
said there was reason to believe
this would be lin addition to resti-
tuition of what has been stolen"
The weekly's statement was in
cluded in an article which dis
cussed the advisability of creating
an independent Ruhr- Rhine State
on the grounds that Germany
could not fight an aggressive war
without control of the heavy in
dustries' of that region.
