DETROIT SPEEDERS GET SANITY TESTS Sane, ‘Sent to Jail-Thres In- Teriors Only Out of 28 ——— Detrolt, Dec. 22 —Detrolt baseball fandom, which loyally has supported the Detroit Tigers whether they were ‘up” or “down” has set its heart on an American league pennant for 1928, The Tigers, coming from the cellar position to.third place in the 1022 race, are expected by the fans to be stronger In 1923 than they were this year, Frank Navin, president of the club, belleves that such should be the case, Poor pitching has been the down- fall of the Tigers for several years, in the opinion of observers. Next sea- son, Detroit will start with the beSt string of hurlers of which the local outfit has boasted in a number years. In speaking of his prospects Mr. Navin said: Pitching Stafr, team's “We should have the best pitching staff in the history of the club. ‘Rip’ Collins, whom we obtained from Bos- ton for Howard Ehmke and other players will give us help where we need it and' Sylvester Johnson, out nearly the entire season, due to in- juries, undoubtedly will deliver. Her- man Pillette, one of the leading pitchers in 1922, and who. with John- son was obtalped from the ‘Pacific Coast league, will, with, Collins head our hurling staff. ' It is possible that we will make one or two deals this winter that will give us even greater strength in the box. To Strengthen Tmm. *The team will be strengthened at second base by the addition of Pratt. Blue is one of the best first basemen in the game and Rigney, with but one year in the majors, al- ready is considered one of the hest shdttstops. At third, we have Haney and Jones, excellent fielders. . Joues, a left handed batsman, can alternate with Haney, a right hander. “In Bassler we have a great catch- er and Woodall is close behind him. The ability of the Detroit outfield is too well known to need comment. . . “The club, with an even break, should do better next season than in 1922, when we finished thira.” PLANTERS’ HOTEL A BUSINESS OFFICE Historic Hostelry to Pass Tnto| History in Big Change 8t.“Louis, Mo., Dee, 22.—(By The Associated Press.)+-Closing of the Planters’ Hotel here January 1, will mark the passing’ of a hostelry re- plete with tradition of the middle vest, ‘and ‘particularly the southland. T'he old Planteys’ House,”-in which history has been made, will be con- verted into an office building. Typewriters will ‘click’ in rooms where presidents slept, ' office . boys will hustle across floors once stridden ! by stately banqueters, and business men will plan battles of dolars in rooms in which political batties havc been won and lost, and in Which' th capture of Camp Jackson was planned in 1861.

The naine = was changed to ‘“The Planters House” in 1841, when a four story structure was built at a cost of §100,000. This was acclaimed a ‘“veritable palace.” In 1894 the present structure was com- pleted at a cost of $1,800,000 under its original name, “Planters Hotel.” In the 40's”and 50's the hostelry was the center of the social life of Planters of the north and south brought their families here for the winter months to taste the Jjoys of the hotel’s hospitality.

Stirring moments were brought to the Planters by the Civil War. Here Frank P. Blair and Nathaniel Lyon conferred preceding the capture of Camp Jackson, May = 10, 1861. On June 11, 1861, the con- ference which resulted in the fight of “brother against brother” in Missouri was held at the Planters, when Lyon dramatically declared his loyalty to the North, and departed to enlist Mis- sourians in the Federal army. The Planters became a political battleground with the reconstruction days, and the hostelry has had a gen- erous share in every political cam- paign since 1870. Famous Personages. Old records show that such person- ages as the following signed the reg- ister of the hotel: Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, Roosevelt and T‘nfL| Martin Van Buren, King Edgard VII, then Prince of Wales, Charles Dick- ens, Jay Gould and Willlam F. Cody. Writing of the hotel in his Ameri- can Notes, Mr. Dickens said: “We went to 'a large hotel called The Planters with long passages and skylights above the room doors for the free ciroulation of air. There . were a great many boarders in it, and * as many lights sparkled and glistened from the windows down into the street below when we drove up as if it had been illuminated on some oceas- fon of rejoicing.

The linking up of the rural econ- omy of Russia with forelgn markets is looked upon by Sovlet officlals as a means of bringing into the country forelgn capital which would help in the reestablishment of both agricul- ture and industry. This year's harvest grain has yielded 47,000,000 tons, \\ ich is about 13,000,000 tons more than last year, | and 20,000,000 tons less than the pre-war production. Allowing 7,000,- 000 tons for sowing purposes, 28,000, and some 3,000,000 tons for the ncods' of the towns, there is a balance of over 8,000,000 tons, the greater part of which, according to the report, could be used for export. In pre-war times Russia exported yearly over 12,000,000 tons of grain, | or 15 per cent of her production, minished from 222,760,000 acres in 1918 to 135,000,000 acres in 1922, While the number of live stock has| fallen mntcrlm.ly.
