WON SUPPLY
FOODSTUFFS
LONDON, Oct. 20—All the cold
storage warehouses in the London
district are filled to capacity with
foodstuffs, and have announced to the
dealers and shippers that they can
not except any further custom. There
announcement is having a marked
effect on the markets, forcing down
prices and bringing incoming supplies
onto the counters.
A large shipment of Tasmanian ap
ples arrived the other day at h time
when there was a glut of home grown
fruit and when the lifting of the em
bargo on French fruit had brought a
heavy shipment of pears from the oth
er side of the English Channel. Ordi
narily the Australian fruit would have
been put into cold storage, but no
space was to be found there, and the
apples had to be sold for what they
would fetch, some good varieties of
cooking apples selling as low as 62
cents a case.

EXPLORER SAID
TO BE SAFE !H
' ARCTIC
DAWSON. Oct. 20. — Bishop Strin
ger has arrived here from his annual
trip to the Arctic coast, and reports
that no word has been received all
summer from Stefansson, the noted
Arctic explorer, who wintered last
year at Melville island and Banksland.
Northerly gales have prevailed all
summer on the Arctic, and as a result
keeps the ice pac^k jammed against
the mainland, preventing any vessels
from reaching Herschel island from
these two points.
No fear is entertained that Stefans
son will be unable to maintain himself
and party through another winter if
it should be necessary, as he is well
supplied and was probably able to get
in touch with whalers somewhere in
the Arctuc during the summer. The
explorer was last reported at Banks
land. and had a well equipped camp
at that point.

DOM LOIS
NEW YORK, Oct. 20—Wild Bill
Donovan's Job as manager of the Yan
kees. is said to be fast slipping away
from him. Also. Miller Huggins, the
brainy little leader of the St. Louis
Cardinals, is said to have been con
sidered in his place. No semblance
of truth can be attached to the ru
mors. save for the indefinite state
ment accredited to Huggins, saying
he has received "some kind" of an of
fer to take charge of the New York
Club.
Col. Jocob Ruppert has stated once
that he will not dismiss Donovan, but
since that time the Yankees have
been going Jrom bad to worse. He
may change his mind.
The owners of the cardinals could
hardly do anything worse than allow
Huggins to slip away from leadership
of the Cardinals. The little leader
Is making noises like a pennant win
ner. and if given tltne may put some
baseball prestige into St. I^ouis that
will make of that city the same good
old baseball town that other cities
have been made by pennant winners.
If Col. Rupert wants Hugins he pro
bably would bid high, and the (Konev
might look pretty fine but the money
would never salve the feelings of
those wounded St. Louisans if they
were to see their baseball hopes slid
ing out the back door in the person of
Miller Huggins.
Since Mrs. Hathaway Britton chuck
ed up the Job of trying to run a base
ball club, Huggins has been given the
chance to do something with the
Cardinals, and ho certainly has suc
ceeded. In St. Lous today there is a
team that will enter into the pennant
prognostications this winter. He has
a baseball club that has done Itself
proud. It Is finishing In a higher
niche than has been the St. Louis
custom. His men are young, his pit
chers are demons for hard, excellent
work. They've got to be counted In
the race next year.
So. a transfer of Mr. Huggins to
New York to lead the American lea
gue club here would be a bad (lose
for St. Louis, despite the fact th.it it
would undoubtedly be a good stove
for ^he Yankees. If Donovan Is to
leave it looks like a good move for
the Cardinals to Insist tbat the new
manager come from some other city.
