Never Given Credit Always a colorful figure of base- hall, Stallings never had been given the credit due him until his supreme achievement with the Boston Braves.

Evers, it was thought, would round out the Braves, but for the first half of the 1914 campaign the club floundered about the sec ond division, its natural place, the experts said. By July, the Braves were back at their old station, last place. Then they started a spurt. It con- into a ten weeks' baseball {marathon, during which the Braves passed all other entries, shatterel the hopes of the Giants for four straight pennants and closed the season in front with a margin of ten games. The Braves' four victories over the Athletics in'the world serics marked the first time the series had been confined to that| numbcr of games. How He Won Control Manager Stallings was a product | of a Georgia farm, where he was| horn in 1866. 1t was there he un- jcon arm and gained control by hurling |stones at the stumps of trees. He learned the rudiments of the game lat Richmond Academy, Augusta, and from the academy team went to his first professional basc- ball job with the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast league as catcher. Later he becam: a player and man- ager in the old Eastern league, pre- decessor of the International league. In the latter he had been owner- | manager of two clubs, Rochester and Montreal, When a young man Stallings ied Mfss Belle White of Had- | . who later obtained a 4 . They had two sons. His wife of a second marriage died and some years later he married the widow of ! league first baseman and close friend, who had been a scout for Stallings’ ball clubs many vears. One son was born of the third union. The Stallings system, by whis the Boston Braves won the wor! ghampionship in 1914, proved theory of modern baseball and dis- proved another. The former was that right hand batters are more successful against left hand D)itch- ers and vice versa. The theory dis- proved was that it was necessary to have a large pitching staff to win a pennant, In order to carry out the idea of batting, Stallings carried two com- plete outflelds, using the trio that hatted right hand when southpaw pitchers opposed the Braves, and the left handed hitting outfielders against right hand pitchers. Manager Stallings’ theory that pitchers could, take their turn in the box after two days' rest was bogne out when he used Dick Rudolph and Bill James, right handers, and Lefty ‘Tyler, southpaw, in regular turn during the last half of the Nationa! league season and through the world series, Remaining with the Braves unt 1920, Stallings announced his retire- ment from baseball. Later, how- ever, he and Walter Hapgood pu:- chased the Rochester club of the International league, which Stallings managed until after the 1927 season. He again announced his retirement, only to feturn when an opyortunity presented itself to get control of the Montreal club. He remained at tha head of the club until the middie of the 1928 season, when illness forcel to surmount. His first’ managerial job In the | major leagues was with the Phila- | delphia Nationals. A perennial sec- | ond division club, its owner did not | possess the wealth to enah! Stallings to build up the team as he wished and he went the way of several | other managers who failed to pro- duce & winner out of nothing. In 1909 Stallings hecame manager | of the New York Yankees after a | soason in which the club, under Clark Griffith and Norman (Kid) Elberfield. finished last. That year the Yankees finished at the head of 1he second division. By 1910 he had | 0 rehabilitated the former broken down baseball machine that !ho Yankees were on the heels of Connie | Mack’s great Athletics and ended the | seamon Az & runaer-up to the Mack- | men, | Baseball esperts agreed that the Athletics were the best team in hoth major leagues, but again Stallings | was handicapped by an obstacle that | ability and leadership could not ! overcome—internal dissenrion.

C., M; 15 a “debenture” as prouded in the farm relief bill now before congress? How will it work? Who will it benefit and how? Who originated the idea? Who is for it and who againet it? w These are questions that millions of American people are asking and only a very {ew can answer. It is quite safe to say that only a handful of men_in the senate and house of representatives know what the de- benture plan is all about. “Debenture”, says Webster's dic- tionary, “an acknewledgment of debt . “a customhouse certificate pro- viding for a drawback.” An export debenture, then, is a certificate showing that a certain amount is owing to somcone. The export debenture plan in the farm relief il adopted the past week by the senate authorizes the treasury department to' issue these ertificates, and 10 state what amount cach shall be worth. Thi amount varies according. to the agri- cultural product it is issued on, and the tariff on that article. The certificate is issued to any who sends abroad one of the agri- cultural products on which payment of the debenture is authorized. This certificate, however, can only be used to pay import duties; it is not nego- tiable as money in the sense. Thus it must be sold prob ubly at considerable discount by the exporter who receives it from the government, to some importer who can use it to pay his tariff duties. Under the present plan, the de- benture applied to each agricultural commodity would be half sthe amount of the import tariff duty on the same produtt to give agrigulture “half as much protection as indus- try.” This amount is viewed only as an experiment, To the man in the street, the prac- tical questions are how such a plan would touch his pocketbook and how it will work. In regard to the first of these, there are many opinions, backers of the plan saying that pro- duction cost of food is the lowest in the finished product and that the increase would be so gmall as to be negligible. Opponents fear that it would materially increase the price of bread, cotton fabrics and clothes. As to how the plan will work, the Grange citeg the following example: “The present tariff on wheat is cents a bushel. A cooperative asso- ciation or grain dealer in Kansas de- siring to ship wheat to Liverpool would receive the Liverpool price plus a certificate or debenture hav- ing a face value amounting to 21 cents for each bushel exported. Un- less the exporter himself desired to bring in goods and use his debcn- fures to pay the import dutles or tariffs on these imports, he would sell his debentures to persons in the mporting business. The importer would then use the certificates to £, ce to Attractiveiy palnted, tons well lusively super- ordinarv | pay 21 cents of tariff duty on any article coming into this couny:y from abroad.” The history n( the export deben- ture plan is simple. First mention of a debenture for American agriculture, was made by Alexander Hamilton. The man in the street will note with\ interest. perhaps, that virtually<-all demo- crats in the senate voted for the de- benture plan originally mentioned by the@n.an called the father of the re- publican party, while all the regular republicans voted against it and the republican president, Mr. Hoover, is against it. Hamilton, in his report to con- gress in 1791, when he was secre- tary of the treasury, said: “Dounties, "are, sometimes, not only the best, but lhe only proper, Ipedient for uniting the encourage- ment of the new cobject of agricul- ture with the new object of manu- facture.” Hamilton was considering almost orecisely the same bounty which is planred by the present senate bill, but the modern version of the boun- ties was firet put forward in 1890 by a man nated David Lubin, who placed almost the identicale scheme before congress® It has since been kept alive by individual Granges, and was adopted by the National Grange some years ago. In the last con- gress, Representative Ketchum of Michigan presented such a bill to the house but it was never cou- sidcred. To the imaginary man in the street, the good and bad in the plun are probably not clear. Even among men who have given. most of their lives to a study of agricultural necds there i3 a wide difference of opinion. Perhaps the best way to sum- maj the different views is to take President Hoover's “debenture deca- logue™” and set beside it the opposing cpinions of those who favor the vlan. The president's first ojection is that payment of the deentures wouid be a direct subsidy $200,000,000 a year out of the U. §. treasury. Supporters of the pian answer this by saying that the pro- tective tariff on, manufictured goods takes more than out of the treasury indircctly «very year, and that. since import tariffs cannot help agriculture no matter how high they are, it is only just to allow agri- culture similar lenefits in the only way they can be applied. Next, the president says that the plan would be a huge gift to dealers and speculators, since the value of the product th:y hold would im mediately rise when the debenture applied to it. He also points out that these same trades would ruined if the debenture were ve- moved. The reply to this is that | thg same wonld be true of any plan which would raise the price of farm | Celebrating... Our Fourth Anniversary of more than | be | products, and that changes in the protective tariff engble speculators in industry to reap profits in the same way. In reply tojthe president’s fourth objection, that the debenture plan would stimulate overprodutcion”and 80 defeat its own purpose, Senator Tom Connally of Texas, an able de- fender of the plan says, “Any plan which in fact raises the farmer's price, of course, will have a ten- dency to stimulate production . I am frank to say that unless we hope to raise the farmet's price, 1 sce no occasion for this congress to relief.” Other arguments put forward by the president are that this stimula- tion of production would stop the present tendency toward diversifica- tion in agriculture; that the farmcr himself would not get the largest part of the profit from the deben- tures; that a revision of import tariff schedulegg would be necessary and would cause fraud in reshipment of debentured exports back to this coumtry; that other nations would retaliate against such “dumping”; that foreign producers of animals would be able to purchase feeds thus MR. TRACY L. HANKS ' The fame of Bon-Tone is fast spreading through Waterbury and words of praise for this great rem- cdy are pouring in from all sections of the city. Today we have a state- ment from Mr. Tracy L. Hanks; of 161 State street, Bridgeport, who says: “I have suffered terribly with my stomach for the past four months. It seemed like four years to me. After each meal my stom- |ach would bloat up and at times it | scemed as if there was a lump of lead in it. T would get severe pains ucross my abdomen and these would | Just about double me up.

Against these, the debenture &d- vocates assert that diversification would ot be disturbed because the protective tariff will aid those proe ducts of which there is no surplus to export, that all of the objections cited can equally be cited against protection by tariff of indust that we consume virtuully all the feeds we raise so thit there is no danger of feeding rorcign animeis more cheaply. WELL BABY CONFERENCE: The schedule for the Well Baby Conference conducted by the Visite ing Nurse association fon the week will be as follews: i Tuesd 47 Ellis street, North- end school, Wednesday—52 Center street.

The examining physician is Dr. L. B. Slyss. “Before Taking would be back and worse if anything, Sometimes these apelis would come on at night and 1 rarely got a full | night's sleep. One night I had such a spell that I thought surely I'd die. The pain was so bad that I just couldn’t get my breath. I walked the floor that night for hours before I could go back to bed. This condi- tion caused my nerves to become shattered and the least little noise would frritate me. One day my wife told me how Ron-Tone was being highly recom- mended for just such ailments mineand although I had tried most everything without rellet T thought, “Well, I'll try once more,” never exe pecting to find nnythlnx that mas any good. You can imagine my surprise when in a few days after startin on Bon-Tone I began to notice the vains leaving me and as I continued to take it troubles kept on going until today 1 haven't a sign of the stomach trouble and my nerves a so steady that the children can make as much noise as they want to as they don't bother me. I go to bed ond sleep the whole night through, 1 am feelin ggreat and I want ot tell the world that Bon-Tone did it.” Bon-Tone iIs not an experimental, but a definitely proven remedy and will show results if directions are carefully followed.
