The 1927 cldssic was no exception to the rule. {In that event Heinie Eimmerman i was initiated into the Royal Order of Goats, i The famous Snodgrass muff of 11912 stands out as one of the fatal world series mistakes. Helnie Zim- merman’s run in 1917 was even {more ludjcrous and far more cost- ly. The/muff by Snodgrass was a physical -error, while the now his- toric run of Zimmerman from third to the home plate was a mental as well as physical slip. It so happened that I was the umpire in the series that furnished the setting for the play that made Zimmerman the goat of the serles. It will be recalled that Heinie chased Eddie Collins across the plate in an effort to retire him. 1 might add that T was just in the wake of the 90-foot dash, following the steps of Zimmerman. It was a dumb play if there ever ‘was one. There have been few costlier mistakes in baseball. Zimmerman was subjected to all kinds of ridi- cule the following day, but T have always felt that he was rather harshly treated in the matter, Not All His Fault There cdn be no doubt as to 'the mistake that Zimmerman - made in his beliet that he could catch up with Eddie Collins, a much faster man, That was mistake number gne. However, when Zimmerman re- alized he couldn’t outfoot Collins, he was ready to throw the ball to somedne and let them try to com- pléte the play. Unfortunately, there was no one covering home plate, so Heinle had to keep on goigg with his grotesque race, even after it was evident that he was being distanced. ‘With the series standing 8 games to 2 In favor of Chicago, the sixth and what proved to be the deciding iliar to those presented by WDRC, |contest, was staged at the Polo | WCAU, WICC, WODA and several | Grounds in New York. | others during the hour or so before!

Shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon WCSH, Portland, Maine, came through extremely loud. The station surprised us since we hadn't heard anything from it in a long time.

As the players neared the plate iand Collins gained slightly with each step, the thought occurred to me the only way Zimmerman could possibly touch him was by taking a chance on a flying tackle. The quick-think- ing Collins, however, pulled a stunt that made Heinie look all the more 1 foolish. Evidently Collins feared Zimmer- man might dive after him, for s he got within sliding distance of the plate, he hit the dirt in the most To Have we WEAF, York; WNAC, 7 York; cago WOR, Newark; | WEBBM, Chicago; {tady; WOC, Davenport; treal; WLW.

OF WORLD SERIES New York, Jan. ¥ UP—In his pur. suit of information bearing on the statement in the report of the league of nations that girls were shipped by a theatrical agency here to Panama for illegal purposes, Assistant United; States Attorney Henry Gerson con- ferred yestorday with Miss Martha White, who is familiar with cabaret | conditions in the Canal Zone. She told Mr. Gerson that she had passed upon & number of girls who had ap- plied to Harry Walker, a bookin, agent, for engagements in Panama, She was familiar with cabaret con. ditions there and the more promi. nent cabarets, like 'Bilgray's and Mrs, Kelly's Rits, were conducted with special attention to the weltare. and protection of the girl entertain. ers, she declared . Talking \.ith reporters later, Miss ' White sald the smallest pay earned- by the girls was $25 a week® plus their lodgings and a 50 per cent dis- . count on the cost of. their meals. | This was only $15 a week less, she pointed out, than chorus girls receive . in this city, and they have to pay for ; their own lodgings and full rates for meals, &) Charles H. Jones, another book- ing agent called on Mr. Gerson with ! Joseph H. Hughes, a hotel man. Mr. Jones carroborated the statements of Miss White. GOOLIDGE VIEWS BUSINESS GROWTH Executive Ses Prosperity n Large Bank Louns ‘Washington, Jan. 7 (»—The fact: that loans to brokers and dealers, held by New York Federal Reserve banks have mounted to $3,810,008,- 000, 2 new record, is not, in the opinion of President Coolidge a basis for unfavorable comment. He sees in the figure a natural reflection of business growth and finds similar in- dication of continued prosperity in the 1.4 per cent increase in postal receipts for last month over Decem- ber, 1926, Broker loans now are about one billien dollars in excess of those re- ported for the first week of last Jan- uary and the total is higher than any ever recorded in the history of the federal reserve system. They haye increased steadily for the last 18 months and in December advanced by approximately $100,000,000. Mr. Coolidge doesn't set himself up as an expert on the subject of broker loans and their significance, and is not prepared to render an opinion whether they are out of pro- portion with the country's resources. The figures do appear to him, how- ever, to indicate the increase of bus- iness in the securities market and do not gonvey to him any unfavorable impression. The president’s information came from the treasury and federal re- serve reports but officers in those establishments declihed to comment on the subject, Becretary Hoover {nformed the President that the increase in postal receipts was about the same as the growth in population. The receipts appeared to be evenly scattered over the country and Mr. Coolidge be- leves they constitute a. prosperity indicator. Forty Per Cent of U. S. Rebuilt in Four Years Bedford, Ind., Jan. 7—(MAp- proximately 40 per cent of the United States has been rebullt in the last four years, says a survey of con- struction made by the Indiana Lime- stone Co. Four years ago, it is pointed out, there were buildings in the United States valued at 70 billion, and since then structures costing more than 25 billion have been erected.
