Either they were innocent, or the judge is bid- ing his time. System Inaugurated Branch Rickey of the Cardinals ginated the farm system away 'k in 1921. He became tired of lesing money and finishiry, last while the her clubs were able to up aT the talent. So, he began branching out. ‘When we started everyone made fun of the idea,” Rickey said. “They called it a futile thing an academic creation in the mind of a pedagogic softy. But the first thing they knew the Cardinals developed winning propensities. “When the big red wagon came down the road, its horn blowing, get out of the way, they tried to stop it. But they couldn’t, so they got red wagons, too. Now the streets are full of them.” Rickey’s first step was the pur- chase of a half interest in the Syracuse, N. Y. ciub. And from that beginning his chain has grown until it is the largest in baseball The Cards got the jump on the other clubs but, as Rickey says, riv- als weren't long in seeing the value of farms and acquiring them Gets Stung Colonel Jake Ruppert of the Yan- kees tried to buy his players for years but finally he got stung badly a few times and went into the chain system himself. Tom Yawkey, the millianaire owner of the Boston Red Sox. was another who tried to buy pen- nant-winning teams and found it couldn’t be done. So he hired Billy Evans and told him to build up a farm system. The working agreement oper- ates in this way: A minor leagu= club finds it needs capital. The major league club loans it money to operate and, in exchange, the miner league outfit offers the major team the choice of its play- ers at the end of the season. Seasoning Process Through ownership and work- ing agreements the majors also have clubs where they may send their surplus players, those not quite ready for the big time but who likely will be of value with a year or so of “seasoning.” The Carginals still have the big- gest “chain gang” in baseball. For the 1938 season St. Louis owns clubs in Rochester, N.Y.; Columbus, O.: Sacramento, Cal.; Houston; Ashe- ville, N.C.; Decatur, Il.; Ports- mouth, O.; Columbus, Ga.; Albany, Ga., and Shelby, N.C.

But she dress- mply and comparatively inex- pensive and on her shopping -almost daily —you wouldn’t pick her out for a big buyer. That's what she is — wardrobe shopper for Selznick's pictures. She spends whole days shopping, says she gets as much kick out of order- ing a string of beads as she does commandeering a whole lot of $50 a yard material. When she became a studio buyer, her first assignment was to find ph 1 |clothes and materials for Mae Mur- ray and Eleanor Boardman. She the stars along, and later Billie Dove, Colleen Moore and Fay Wray shopped with her for picture clothes. But now her expeditions are solo. Carole Lombard, Janet Gaynor, Madeleine Carroll stayed at the studio when Helen went buying. The stars could have gone along, had they wished, but the public— with autograph books handy— would have slowed down the work. So Helen orders stuff on approval. About half of it is kept—and she considers that a high percentage. Carriages Come High In “Jezebel” Bette Davis drove a caleche, which the studio rented for $15 a day but paid $250 to put in shape. Lee Sheldon, the vehicle and ani- mal man at Warner's, bemoans the shortage of old-fashioned carriages, of which he had to procure sixteen for this film. There are buckboards and farm wagons in plenty but few “carriage trade” vehicles—victorias, landaus, and barouches. Sheldon knows six or seven “horse men” who rent livestock and | vehicles to studios. The trouble is, the carriages are used only two or three times a year and the rest of the time they serve as chicken roosts in the barns. That's why it costs $250 to restore Bette's caleche.
