Stockport County 10,000 Pittsburgh owners have assured Uie National Hockey League that they 'will strengthen the Pirates, but despatches from the Smoky City to the effect that Manager Frank Frederlckson will look to Western Canada for help are not encouraging. There was a time when great players roamed the prairies, but those davs have passed. Just as they will in Eastern Canada unless some provision is made whereby amateur clubs will be able to develop players, and not have them snatched away by professional clubs before they have reached the age of maturity. The Chicago Black Hawks courted wiw tne west lor several years, and discovered that there are few amateurs of ability available. Thev then went Into the markpt nnH found it a closed affair. Pittsburgh hat been struggling along since Roy Schooley departed from the winter pastime, and the returns at the gate have been so small that it has been rumored several times that the franchise will be soJd or transferred to another city. Pirate owners have made lust one deal since the last race closed, and in this thev traded "n.iV McCurry.lo the Montreal Maroons fTooU" JHohvay. when it is considered that Hplway played for thepirates last winter, and thai McCurry was also there, this deal appears to present a uniaue wav oi strcnetnening the Pittsburgh entry. The Smoky City, supreme lor years in amateur hockey In the United States, has not taken kindly to the professional brand. ana neither do the fans care to support a losing team. Frank Frederlckson has a big task on his hands. Seventy pieces of wood go Into the making of a violin. JMWIM HI Sport Chat In Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw, world series fans will see in action two costliest pitch ers in all baseball history. Connie Mack-paid .$105,000 Xoi-Grove and after a slow start, he has proved to be worth every cent of it. Earnshaw cost Mack $85,000 and there is every reason to believe that he wm prove as profitable a purcnase supposed to extend over a period oi tnree years, giving Mack plenty of time to make his mind up on isarnsnaw. Inside information is that the first payment on the $85,000 was made in 1928 called for $30,000. It at the end of the first year, Mack didn't like Earnshaw, he was privileged to return the player, and lose the down payment. An additional $30,000 was to be paid in 1929. Mack still having the right to return the player, but being compelled to forfeit the first two payments. In 1930, Mack must pay the final $25,000 to complete the deal. At the close of the 1928 sea son. Mack was certain he had made a good bargain, so no doubt remains as to whether or not he win pay the final $25,000 next season. Seven other clubs in the American League would be willing to permit Mack to make $15,000. if he cared to dispose of the player, for he would easily bring $100,000 in the open market.

Egyptian Money in Early Ages BERLIN. Oct. 8. Recent Investi gations have shown that the Egyp tians naa a regular monetary system a thousand years before the first Greek coins were struck seven centurls B.C., according . to Prof. Baron Frledrich W. von Bteslng, eminent egyptologlst, writing in the scientific Journal, "Research and Progress." This Egyptian money was called "shet" and served as a standard In determining the value of food, clothing or payments made In kind for work done. Two shet was a laborer's dally wage. The ratio of value for the same weight was: Gold 12, sliver 6, and lead 3 shet. uuiy stamped, gold ripgs represented thd coinage standards.

GREAT FISHING , IN THE NORTH MacMitlan Expedition Tells of Bir Sea Trout and Salmon Off Baffin's Land SYDNEY. N.S.. Oct. 8. A fisher man's paradise, the exact counter- Dart of what the streams of the United States must have been when the pilgrims landed at Ply- moutn, was described by Dr. W. C. K&idall. ichthyologist to the MacMUlan expedition, and reputed tne greatest iisn exnert in the United States. Salmon were fairly plentiful, but the whole coast of Labrador and Baffin's Land was swarming with beautiful tug sea trout he found Dr. Kendall told of a shallow pool within sight of the coast on one of the innumerable streams where for hours he fished under the movie camera of the engineer in the hope of filming the capture oi a nig one. He had come eaulDDed only with a light rod and line and. in snlte of skilful play, the fish carried of live or tils best files and leaders, and in some cases parts of the lines. They were oil too big for the tackle. Nothing daunted, he returned to the ship for stouter apparatus, with which he landed a number of good fish, some of them seven or eight pounds In weight. There were lots more in the place, but it Is not the policy of the MacMUlan oarty to fish for more than required for food and specimens. Some of these big fellows are stowed away in brine pickle in the Bowdoin's hold and will grace the specimen .departments oi American colleges for many years to come. In a net set near the ship on one occasion Dr. Kendall took a trout that weighed over 10 pounds, and this also has been preserved. TITE DAILY NEWS MANY CULTS ON REVIERA Vegetarians, Spook Cults, Raw . Meat Cults, Spartans and Simple Livers CANNES, France, Oct. 8: The question as to how American and English residents of the Riviera- amuse themselves has been settled by a police official who has been stationed In Southern France for many years. "They Join cults," he says. It takes a secretary to keep tracic of the various cults and sects. Right now we're lacking a nude cult because we had to run the last one out of the country a few months ago, but I suppose there's another one hanging around some place. "We ha,ve ' vegetarian cults, spook cults, raw meat cults, a Spartan cult, and any number of religious cults, most of them on a diet. Take your pick. I suggest a smau egg ana miiK group near St. Raphael. The members have solved the high cost of living question oy eating only bread, eggs and milk. They seem prosperous, physically and financially, though the local vegetarian cult says eggs and milk are deadly poisons." The officer took a deep quaff oi post-war aDsintne and conres sed that he - ate and drank anv tnmg nanay. cults are his spe cialty. He tries to protect the visitors in his district. But how the Anglo-Saxon bites at the bait! The Simple Life cult leader maae a small fortune. Liver trouble? Jo'i "the Simple Livers." And they Joined. And they paid thousands of dollars for the pnvuege or drinking water instead of wine, eating plain food and working in the cult leader's garden six hours every day. Tes iimoniais mat a complete cure naa Deen errected came from 95 per cent. The garden also prospered. "The occult cults cause the most trouble." continued the officer. "In many cases these people have been carried so far that they were almost under the complete control of some quack. Many of the leaders are within the law. We. look after the others.

Proposed by Sapiro to Market.,,. Saskatchewan Grain REGINA, Sask., Oct. 8. Compulsory co-ODerative grain marketing,- which would place the Saskatchewan wheat pool in complete control In the disposal of the wheat crops of the province, has become an issue of great Interest in Saskatchewan, following the report of the royal grain inquiry commission and the recent visit of Aaron Sapiro, lamed co-operative marketing authority. The royal commission found that it could not recommend the compulsory marketing of Saskatchewan's wheat crop through the wheat pool, but Mr. Sapiro does not agree with this finding, and, in recent addresses throughout the pnjT-u.ce declared the malority of the growers shpuld Indicate as to how the crop snouia De marketed, ana expressed the belief that when a 100 doo! was established speeculatlon could and would be abolished. At present 58 of the growers are members of the wheat pool. "In all Anglo-Saxon countries where majority rule Is followed; said Mr. Sapiro, "It is universally agreed that the majority determine the policy. The most important thing that Saskatchewan will ever face Is the choice between complete co-ODeratlve marketing, on thp one hand, and half-baked cooperation and a lot of speculation on the ptner." Under a plan DroDOsed bv the co operative expert a compulsory pool, by legislation, would become operative When two-thirds of the irrowers of the province signed term-contracts with the wheat pool. The salient features of his proposals 1. When two-thirds of the wheat growers of Saskatchewan have signed a term-contract with the wheat pool of the province, thus indicating their desire for co-operative marketing through the pool, every grower shall; by legislation, deliver his wheat to that pool. 2. That by this system, all the wheat of Saskatchewan will be handled to the world's markets by me wneai pooi, ana no grower win be able to dispose of his produce through the speculative Interests. 3. That those growers who are brought Into the scheme thrnutrh the proposed legislation shall have no specinc representation on the board of management-- - George H. Williams, president of the Saskatchewan section of the united Farmers of Canada, outlines the plan of the legislative method of securing 100 control in the fnl. lowing manner: I. It has been aereedbv the Uni ted Farmers of Canada that the wheat pool delegates shall decide when the request tor the proposed legislation shall be made-and when sufficient acreage has been .signed up- 2. That when the time arrives; the wheat pool delegates themselves shall ask for the legislation. 3. That all wheat mnrl-pfpd through the wheat pool, because of the proposed legislation, shall be marketed as wheat pool grain and returns made to the growers In the same manner as those of the pool gruwers. 4. That the wheat nool riot. egates shall be trustees of the non- pooiers wneat. That line elevators shall handle wheat as under the wheat board system, being paid a fair handling charge. F. W.
