McGRAW IRON HAND STIFFENS PITCHERS BY DAVIS J. WALSH I. N. S. Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 7—The iron hand of John McGraw is responsible for the commendable pitching of Hugh McQuillan and Jess Barnes in recent games against the Chicago White Sox. Although it is not generally known, this worthy pair was more or less concerned in the breach of training at San Antonio, which ended in John Scott being fined $100 and the banishment of Earl Smith to the second team. Just why McGraw — countenanced the derelections of McQuillan and Barnes are not those of Scott and Smith is not known, but he probably had his own very good reasons. No one can dispute the fact that his handling of men gets the desired results. In this case, it has resulted in Scott, McQuillan and Barnes pitching excellent baseball and the eahcee are that the incident will be speedily forgotten. It is said that as soon as the second team returns from a protracted tour, McGraw intends to cnt loose from Earl Smith with definite finality. That is his first contemplated step by way of reprisal for the flouting of his stern discipline. His next is said to be a proposal to the Cincinnati Reds, whereby the Barnes-Luque trade negotiations will be reopened. If the Cincinnati club will accept Smith, he will be tossed into the deal for good measure. In fact, he has tired of Smith as a steady diet and plans to let him go to the highest bidder, if any. As for Barnes, it has been no star chamber that McGraw has soured on his pitching during recent seasons and the spark of his antipathy needed only the San Antonio incident to be tarned into active flame. Barnes' statue with the world's champions is most uncertain at this time. McQuillan has been given to understand that he is on probation but his recent work has been so good it is likely that McGraw is willing to forgive and forget.

THE AUTOMOBILE DISPLACING THE HORSE INTERNATIONAL CITY BANK OF NEW YORK From the WEEKLY TRADES RECORD Issued by The National City Bank That the horse is being slowly but surely displaced by the automobile and farm tractor is again evidenced by the annual statement of the Department of Agriculture as to the number of animals on farms in the United States on January 1, 1923. Horses again show a fall in number and aggregate value as has been the case in each year since 1918 while all other animals show an increase in both number and value when comparing the figures of January 1, 1923 with those of the same date last year. The number of horses on farms on January 1, 1923 shows a fall of 203,000 as compared with one year earlier, while cows show an increase of 547,000, other cattle of 373,800, except an advance of 864,000, and swine gain of 5,590,000 when comparing January 1, 1923 with January 1, 1922. The value of horses on farms falls off $29,000,000 in the single year 1922 while that of cows increased $14,000,000; other cattle $38,000,000; sheep $105,000,000; and swine $144,000,000. While the above figures showing a fall in the number and value of horses refer only to a single year, 1922, a comparison of the number and value of the various farm animals on January 1, 1923 with that of the January immediately preceding the war makes it clear that the house has been insufficient slowly but surely yielding to the activities of the automobile and farm tractor, while other farm animals show an increase during the same period. Comparing the official figures of January 1, 1923 with those of January 1, 1914 it appears that the value of horses on farms of the country decreased 42% in the nine year period, while that of cattle increased 4%, swine 19%, and sheep 39% in the same period. The number of horses decreased more than 2,000,000 in the nine year period, while the number of swine increased 4½ million; cattle increased nearly 10,000,000. The average value per head of horses on farms decreased 36% when comparing January 1, 1923 with January 1, 1914, while that of swine increased 10% and sheep 86% per capita. Horses decreased in number, value and price per capita; sheep decreased in number but increased in aggregate value; while cattle and swine increased in both number and total value in the period in question, January 1, 1923 corraped with January 1, 1914. The above figures necessarily relate only to animals on farms as we only get decennial estimates of the number of horses in cities and towns. That the number of horses in the cities and towns has even more rapidly decreased than that on farms is evidenced by a comparison of the decennial census of Miss Alexander R. the name of Rommel quest of Rommel torney's office report.

The decrease in us has been much more cities and towns than areas, as shown by while the number of farms decreased 7% ending with 1922; then on farms" decreased decade ending with this big fall off in horses would probably even greater but for we of the United States guard the horse as a and the present g horses is thus permit out of existence by process rather than using them for food as in certain other count. That the decrease in and value of horses is latest to the increase automobile in its variety evidenced by the number of motor vehicles increased from 1,711,352 to 1,728,245 in 1922.

NG THE HORSE YOUNG The National City Bank 1920 with that of 1910. The 1920 census shows the number of horses "not on farms" in 1920 at 1,705,000 against 3,182,000 in 1910, a decrease of 46% in the ten year period ending with 1920 while the annual decrease since 1920 is presumably even more rapid than that of the decade ending with 1920. The decrease in use of the horse has been much more rapid in the cities and towns than in the rural areas, as shown by the fact that while the number of horses on farms decreased 7% in the decade ending with 1922, the number "not on farms" decreased 46% in the decade ending with 1920. This big fall off in the number of horses would probably have been even greater but for the fact that we of the United States do not regard the horse as a food animal, and the present generation of horses is thus permitted to pass out of existence by the natural process rather than by slaughtering them for food as is often done in certain other countries. That the decrease in the number and value of horses is closely related to the increased use of the automobile in its various forms is evidenced by the fact that the number of motor vehicles registered in the United States has increased from 1,711,339 in 1914 to 12,261,245 in 1922.
