If you erase the Oscar, but who halls :from Milwaukee, is to be a member of the St. Louis Browns next season. There· by hangs an Interesting tale. Italian Nl.ll play(•rs are in the minority ; ye::-, even scarce in the major leagues, but tltey are on the way. The officials of the J~-owns are confident the name l\lellil<> will prove a drawing eard. The 0f'car !'hould make a hit with the Germans of St. J,ouls, while the rtallans can enthuse over :~rellilo. There are more native-born Italians in the city of St. Louis than there are of any other :foreign nationality except the Germans. The Italians even exceed the Irish when It comes to being "forel~ners.'' And one has but to visit an Italian section of the Missouri city and crowd his way through the chattering black· eyed youngsters to realize that in the second generation the Italians may be giving even the preponderant German element a race for numbers. Practically every Italian young man or boy of the second generation-the first of the American born of foreign parents-Is a potential baseball fan in St. Louis. The Italian element Is a big factor in attendan<'e. Therein may be one of the reasons that the Browns made a deal that makes Oscar Melillo a member or George Sisler's 'crew. The acquisition of Tony Rego might have been an accident; there Is more evidence of a design In making Melillo a Bro\rnle. Not that the youngster :trom Mil· waukee hasn't claims In his own right; he is said to have been a wonderful fielding second baseman, not much of a hitter, but he can beat down hits--something the Browns' infield hasn't always been good at. To win u berth with the Browns Melillo will have to outclass Marty McManus (Irish), Walter Gerber (German) or Gene Robertson (native son). But nationality won't count-the best workman w!ll win. London. Eng.--The league of na· tions structure is threatening to crack under the storm raging around it be· hind closed doors in the European chancellories over the attempt of certain powers to capture the council politically and religiously. The London press plays up the league "storm center," and confirms In detail dispatches of the past week and the Intrigues and machiavellian diplomacy that is going on. With a few exceptions, the London pape~s deplore and even denounce the efforts to pack the council and op· pose an increase In the number of permanent seats. The Daily Express says: The Express emphasizes that Germany's withdrawal of her appiication to the league might mean the "end of the Locarno pact, whose flimsy tenure is already badly rent by 1\fussolini's sabotaging In earlier intrigues which led to a postponement of the disarmament conference." Under the headline, "clouds Over Europe," the Sunday Times argues that the British government will not countenance such maneuvers, "other· wise Germany will have good grounds for saying she has been invited to be· come a member of the league under false representations." traffic suffered heavily, energetic snow removal mas· the sitnation after some trains ·ew England had been stuck in Brockton, 1\fa~s., public buildings turned over to hundreds of per· unable to reach their homes. smaller towns were cut of! the outside world by the drifts.

Pric· kett Present Their Brief Washlngton.-The future of the fiour milling Industry of Utah and Idaho, and, to a large degree, the prosperity of the wheat growers of those two states, hinges on the decision of the interstate commerce com· mi<lsion in the Utah-Itlaho grain rate cases argued, according to H. W. Prickett, who appeared for the Ogden Grain exchange, the complainant against various railroads. Present rates he maintained, discriminate not alone against the flour mills of th01;e states, but against the grain growers them· selves, and unless this discrimination on both eastbound and westbound shipments, is wiped out, the milling industry, at least, Is doomed.

I :•.· 1 i.- Red Sox Catcher Makes Double Play at Plate One of the unusual plays of the 1925 American league season revealed by "stove league" analysis was that in which Arthur Stokes, catcher for the Red Sox, retired two Detroit men at the plate with one sweep of his arm. He pulled lt August 25. Johnny Bassler was on second and Fred Haney was at first, in the seventh inning, when Rigney hit a Ion;: fly to the outfield. Ira Flngstead ran it down, but dropped the ball. Bassler started tor home when he saw the ball strike the ground, but Haney, starting at the crack of the hat, was almost at second before Bassler g-ot away. The two runners were pacing almost as n team when they neared third and going into the plate, Haney slowed up enough to stay only a step behind the slower Bassler. In the meantime, Flagstend retrieved the ball and threw to Rothrock, at short, the latter relaying the lJUII to Stokes. The two Tigers, looking over their shoulders, saw the hall coming and hit the dust simultaneously. Stokes stood his ground aml with one sweep of his arm tnggecl them both before their spikes touched the rubber. Not to be outdone, the umpire shot both arnts upward,· lndicat· ing the double play. • • • I I Louis Hudson, the star of the University of Toronto hockey team, 111 the Red Grnn1e o:t the skating sport among Canadian colleaea He will ~duate In Jun_e. • • • Fits handpocket and purse Deta!ls of city police and detec· tives with riot guns succeeded in dispersing tile men, many of whom car· ried dubs, without any serious trouble.
