Rut Chi thought a lot of that old bat and wa south- ationals, by the ed to keep it the besi way, sobecly|y, declaring he had put the nails in the splitting off. He had made four hits business end simply to keep it from with it the previous day, but the umps was obdurate and “Mary Ann” went to the serap heap. ‘When Paddy Bauman was holding down the hot corner for the Providence used a bat very much flattened on team during Bill Donovan’s time he one side and about that time was whal- the ball hard, wide and often, hitting the leather with the flat side of the bat.-Paddy got away with the trick for several weeks, but came to grief one day in Newark when the Bear catcher caught sight of the flattened surface and complained to the umpire, “Now who put that old pot stick into my hand!” exclaimed Paddy when the umpire ordered him to get another stick; “somebody must have used it mighty carelesslike to split it like that.” Paddy was watched pretty closely for a long time after that and his bat- ting average fell off tremendously. “About time for somebody to bob up and tag Bender's crowd the Indian Heads. Certainly they aren't showing any more signs of life than those fix- tures that used to illuminate the cigar stands,” chortles one New Haven pa- per in speaking of the city's baseball team. ‘Word from Atlantic City, where Al Mamaux is sojourning, is that the health of the Brooklyn hurler is im- proving rapidly, and that he will be ready to again assume his duties be- fore the Dodgers depart for their lon road trip. Al-in shape would be a anE uable additien to the tottering twirl- ing staff of the Dodgers as in the few games he did pitch this spring he showed signs of returning to his old Pittsburgh form.

It would authorize extensions of credits to producers or their associations, exporters and also to bankers for agricultural export purposes. Besides the finance corporftions capital of $500,000,600—a revolving fund—it would be authorized to issue $1,000,000,- $00 in bonds. Champions of the Norris bill, however, continued their Jght in its behalf, but with amendments made today by the agricultural committee designed to meet ubjections raised. Toe amendments were | Chick | I forc- | settlemeats with l the propoged corporation power to buy and sell farm products. The committee also reduced bond issue authorization from one billion dollars to five hundred million dollars. Senator Norr Nebraska, criticised the manner in which the Ke logg substitute had been brought forw: republican, rd He charged toat it was prepared “se- cretly” and that Senator Kellogg had “advance information” denied to com- mittee members and other senators un It was read in the senate today. Republican leaders generally predieted that the Kellogg measure would be sub- stituted for the Norris bill despite dis- position of commitiee members and others to stand by the Norris plan. The committee amendments and the Kellogg and otcer substitutes are to be taken up in the senate tomgrrow with disposal of the legisiation this week predicted. The special message to congress to- day, asked it to extend the authority of the war finance corporation to purchase ecurities, probably to $500,000,000 now 1 the hands of the railroad administra- tion so that the proceed may be used for the railroads. There was no thought he said, <f asking con- for additional money. ilway claims, based on the “inef- ¥ of labor” during the war time eriod were to be settled without sur- render of any rights in the courts. “No added expe ;i the presi- dent explaining his request, “no added in- vestment is required on the part of the government, there is no added liability no added tax burden.” “It is merely the grant necessary to enable a most efficient government agency available funds purchase securities for which congress already has author- ized the issue and turn them into chan- nels of finance rady to float thm.” “The contract covering operation pro- of authority useful and to use its vided that the railways should be re- turned to their owners in as good condi- tions as when taken over by the gov- ernment and the transportation act cognized that betterments belong te cap- ital accounts provided 'that such sums as the railway companies over the gov- ernment for betterments and new equip- ment added during period of govern- ment operation, might be refunded. “There has been at no time, any ques- tion of justice of funding such indebted- nes sto the government. Indeed it has been in progress to a measureable de- gree ever since the return of the rail- roads to the cwners. It has been limited however, to such cases as those In which final settlements with railway adminis. tration have been affected. The pro- cess is admittedly teo slow to meet the difficu®t sitmation which the owners of the railroads haye been facing and I believe it essential tc the country’'s good for- tune to hasten both funding and settle- ment. ‘Quite apart from the large sum ow- ing to the government. which we are morally and legally bound ts ernment admittedly’ owes companies large sums on various counts such as compensation, deprecia- tion and maintenance. “The way now would seem ts be elear to be very early adjustment and relief except for the fact that the rafiroad ad- ministration though possessing assets does not command the funds necessary to meet what will be its admitted obiiga- tions. “There is no thought to ask congress for additional funds.
