January February
Exports Up

NEW YORK.-(RNIS) -Norwe-
gian foreign trade figures for the
first two months of 1913 show a
sizeable increase in exports. Elk
Guiding ships, February exports
reached 100, 100000 Kr. with i'm
ports of 225, 10000 Kr., thereby to-
falling 81 100000 Kr. in exports
and 463,700,OOO Kr. in imports
during the January-February Pc
riod.
Compared with exports of 205,-
100000 Kr. and imports of 411,-
100000 Kr. for the first two
months of 1947, a definite increase
in shipments abroad is immediate
lynoted. Top export increase dur
ing these first 2 months is imme-
diately noted.
Top export increase during these
first months was shown by fish
and fish products, with pulp and
paper showing little change. I'M
ports in the metals group were
relatively low with "a, 100000 Kr.
in February and 41,1OO,O0O Kr. in
January against a monthly aver
age of 42,500,000 Kr. during 1947.
Regarding textile imports strin-
gent restrictions resulted in a So
600, 900 Kr import reduction be-
low figures for the same 2-month
period in 1947. Imports from Eur
ope dropped during the first 2
months of 1948 while goods i'm
ported from America and Asia in
creased. The export rise during
the period was due mainly to in
creased shipments to European
markets - thereby providing only
limited relief for the serious eX-
change shortage.

Famed Late Southpaw
Joins Great InfieIder
In Baseball S Shrine
& By Jack Hand
Assoeioted Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK., Feb. 27.-Tne late
Herb Pc1lnock and Harold (Pie)
Traynor were voted into bss.ball's
Hall of Fame today by the Baseball
Writer'S Association Their names
will be enrolled In the Cooperstown
IN. " shrine, alongside 46 others
who were 30 honored In previous
years.
Pennock, the great left-handed
pitcher who died January 30 en-
route to National League meeting
In New York, led the candidates
with 81 Of . possible 800 votes.
Traynor, Pittsburgh third basenap
for II years, polled 90 votes. Sew
enty-five per cent Of the vote cast
is necessary for election. This year
121 of some 800 eligible writer's re-
turned ballots, making the magic
figure 81.
Four men were voted into the
Hall of Fame last year. The writ
ers picked Mickey Cochrane, Frank
Frisch, Lefty Grove and Carl Hub
bell. A special committee also added
II others who had played in the
earlier days.
Pennock Great Lefthander.
Pennock was one of the best
lefthanded pitchers of all time.
Formerly with the Yankees, Phila-
delphia AS and Boston Red Sox,
he was rounding out a fifth year as
general manager of the Phillies
when he died.
Over q 22-year span he won 245
big league games, including five
without q defeat in a World Series
competition. Only Cy Young and
Sad Sam Jones matched his record
Of pitching "a years In the majors.
Always lean and frail, Pennock de-
pended on keen control, . bathing
change and a sharp-breaking curve.
During his II seasons with the
Yankees he hit the peak of his ca
reer. Perhaps the top mark was the
1923 World Series when he saved the
day for the Bombers by pitching
three times in four days against the
Giants, winning two. Four years
later he pitched 71s World Series
innings without allowing man to
reach first base, record that still
stands.
Traynor Fine Hitter.
Traynor, now q scout with the
Pirates, broke into the majors with
Pittsburgh in 1920 after starting at
Portsmouth, va. Shipped to Biz
mingham in 1921, he again finished
the season with the BUGS and re-
manned with them as player-man-
ager and scout until 1913. Over
that period his lifetime major league
batting average was 800.
One Of the better third basemen
in the game over a span of II years,
and one of baseball's greatest base
runners, Traynor managed the
Pirates from June, 1884, through
1889. He played alongside Short
stop Glenn Wright in the 1925 and
1927 series, but the best the club
could do under his management was
q second place finish in 1888. That
was the season the Cubs pulled 1T
out Of the fire at the last minute
after Pittsburgh had built q new
press box for the series.
When Traynor was let out as
manager, the Pirates retained him
in their farm system organization.
He dabbled in radio and now has
rejoined the Pirates Is o coach.
