Carl HubbeU Fauors
Teen Age Student Ban

RICHMOND, Va, June 27-tAH
The New York Giants would favor
the adoption by major league clubs
of some regulation which would
prevent the signing of teen,age ball
players before they have conplet-
ed their formal education, Carl
Hubbell, Giant minor league man.
ager, declared today.
Hubben expressed this opinion in
a long-distance telephone co n
versation today from Bristol, Va,
IN response to a question asking
for comment on the case of Vernon
T. Morgan, 16-year-old Enporia,
Va, boy, who last year was signed
to a giant contract, but who now
IS on the voluntary retired list.
Morgan was selected this week
as Virginia's representative on the
Esquire-all American Boys East
ern Baseball club, which is to play
a Western Boys team in the Polo
grounds at New York, August %.
With the announcement of his be-
ing selected for the Eastern team,
it became known that Morgan had
signed a Giant contract April /,
1914, but had not joined the club
nor any of its minor league af-
filiates nor had he received any
money.
Morgan's case has been brought
to the attention of Senator A. B.
(Happy) Chandler, newly appoint.
ed baseball commissioner, and
may form the basis of a discussion
regarding the signing of teen-age
high school players by major
league clubs a. a meeting at Wash
ington July IL.
The Richmond news leader said
Senator Chandler had informed it
by telephone that he had called a
meeting Of major league owners for
July II in Washington to discuss
the signing of teen-age high school
players and would use the case of
Morgan as one of his leading ex-
asnples.
Hubbell, when informed Of the
circumstances, said that as far as
he was concerned he favored the
adoption of some sort of regulation
which would prevent major league
clubs from signing the youngsters.
He added that the Giant organizat-
ion always had been in favor of
such a rule, but that they had con-
tinued to sign young players be-
cause 'the other clubs are doing
it,
He pointed out that since the war
it has been the practice of major
league scouts to sign the
youngsters while still in school, al
though the act of signing the con-
tract, in most cases, did not mean
that the boys Immediately started
playing baseball either with the
parent club or one Of its minor
league subsidiaries.
Il personally favor such a re-
straining regulation" Hubbell said,
land would like to. see some such
rule adopted by organized baseball.
Perhaps the matter can be advanc-
ed to a definite stage at the meet
ing commissioner Chandler propos-
es next month";

Reconversion has begun and it
looks rs if one prediction, made
back when conversion had been &C.
complished with many an ache
and groan, would come true. Then
the experts predicted that recover
sion would be easier than conversion.
Eighty per cent Of the factories,
we are now told by officials of the
department Of commerce, will not
have to do a major r~econversion job.
This is largely because many indus
tries now furnishing supplies to the
military will continue to manufac-
ture the same supplies for civilians
clothing. food. printing, electrical
appliances-you can think Of a whole
lot of others yourself. It will be no
great problem for the makers of
such products to shift from one mar
ket to another-from Uncle Sam to

won't have such major difficulties
either. It will please the ladies to
learn that even the folks who have
been making parachutes will have
little or no trouble changing back
to stockings. The nylon people SIM
ply have to change spools.
There are a number Of other pre-
dictions concerning the future Of
businesses, big and little, and one
Of them is that 40 per cent of the
industries. although they won't do
the business they are doing today
with Uncle Sam as a customer, will
have a bigger demand to meet than
they had in the boom year Of 1929.
And this condition will continue, say
the prophets Of profits. for two or
three years on the impetus Of the
present pent-up buying power Of
the nation. II we keep our heads
meanwhile, there is no reason why
the period of prosperity cannot be
extended.
But what about the other types Of
business which were expanded by
war demands for products which
won't have any civilian market?
Well, our American business inge-
nuity and our native mechanical in
ventive genius, they tell us, are 60
ing to step into the picture again.
Then there will be the natural evo-
luton which will eliminate the be-
low-average business man and es-
tablish a survival Of the fttest.

Of making a compass for use in mo-

the army engineers and the war

their okeh on them. The inventor

Next came a call from the Mari

new compass was approved and pro-

Some day, Of course. the last war

Peru, but because of the war-stimu-
lated ingenuity Of n man, a prod

for which will continue for such war

demand for civilian use which will
return the moment restrictions on
motor travel and transportation are

Africa to treat a foot infection.
Termites are another enemy of
fabrics. Their voracious appetite
knows nothing of today's shortage of
white goods. A Nebraska laundry
had delivered a deep box of shirts
to a customer, who placed it on a
closet floor and methodically used
the shirts from the top. Ten days
later he took out the fourth shirt
and found the three remaining ones
riddled with frazzled holes. Parts
of the garments were completely
eaten away, and area of the I'M
touched fabric were covered with
tiny mud particles. The sleuths at the
Laundry institute had the shirts a
few days later.
Tests indicated mechanical dam

likely perpetrators of the crime"
The cas- was referred for vertical
ton to the U. S. department of agri-
cultures bureau of entomology,
n Of the country's supreme au-
thorities or insects.
THE injury is typical of termite
attack upon fabrics" read part of the
bureaus report. "Termites of this
species must have connection with
the ground soil, and they have the
habit of carrying particles of soil up
into the woodwork or other particles
they are feeding upon. This is why
you notice the dirt and dried mud
on the shirts."-An investigation in
the customers home later revealed
that the basement Of the building
had been S 70 completely eaten away
by the peHs that it had to be re-
placed with tile.

Yankee Ingenuity
To the Fore

What started me off on this topic
was a typical example Of how this
inventive genius, stimulated by war
demands, has laid the foundation
for turning what started as a little
two-room factory into a big, small
town business. The man with the
inventive genius is a frequent Wash
ington visitor these days. His name
is Burl E. Sheriff.. The name Of
the town is Peru, Ind. population
5000. Sheriff. is a modest Hoosier
genius in his forties who managed
to make a living from tinkering and
selling the patents on the gadgets
he invented. Then me day he made
something he liked 20 well he didn't
want to part with the idea behind it,
so he decided to manufacture it him
self. 1t was a po%pular-priced mag
netic compass for use in STEEL
bodied automobiles and trucks.
Sheriff. rented three Offices right
on the public square of Peru. turned
them into his factory and started
out. Soon he began to expand, push
ing lawyers, doctors, real estate men
out of the way. But I am getting
ahead of my story.
Sheriff. was a born inventor, al
though he didn't realize it and start
ed off to study law. After two years
at the University of Chicago he
found that his hunger for the law
was appeased. his hunger for three
meals a day was not. He went to
work managing a little neighborhood
shoe store in Chicago. This gave
him a chance to tinker in the kitch.
en-laboratory in his fiat. Then he
got a chance at a job back in In
diana-repairing radios in Peru.
This gave him lots of opportunity to
tinker and he patented inventions
and sold them, which bolstered his
income considerably. Finally he
evolved the compass which he
wouldn't part with. He was able to
hire a small staff Of workers-then
came the war and no more civilian
autos.
But there were lots of military We
hicles and after our blind tanks had
lost themselves in the African des-

made some 20 years ago by two

it has produced legible writing on
