Stanley, who will manage one of the

The peculiar part . of the opposi
ion that the coasters face this year
s that it comes not from a profes
sional league, but from a "bush" or
so-called amateur league.
The recent decision of the amateur
athletic union of Canada to reinstate
professionals has given the managers
of the amateur teams an opening
whereby they can sign' up profes
sional players who lave taken ad
vantage of the amateur union's reso
lution and obtained an amateur card.
Rule Is Loose.
Althouerh in thA main the real ob
ject of the resolution was to give
those athletes who prof esplonalired
themselves overseas a chance to get
back into the simon pure fold, and
not to benefit those who are un
doubtedly out-and-out professional
players.
It is reported on good authority
that special inducements are being
offered professional hockey players
sign up with teams in the big

tive positions being obtained for
these men, but information has been
received that one player has been
given a farm in return for his serv-
ces this conilnj season. Evidently
the medium of exchange on the prai

Manairer I'p Aialnat It.
If a player is not satisfied with
his 450 acres or whatever he has re
ceived and holds out for more, his
manager will Jiave to find more
acreage for him or lose his services.
And then the player may demand that
his extra acreage adjoin that he has
already got. And what if the man
ager cannot supply it? Pity the poor
manager.
No matter what these amateur
leagues may be doing regarding the?
signing up of players, coast hockey
fans know that the Pacific Coast

SUGAR IS PREVENTED
Price Limit Is Set at 10 Cents
Wholesale. -
EQUALIZATION BOARD ACTS
Palmer Notifies Refineries Who
Have Been Withholding Products
Until Market Is Stabilized.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. Steps to
prevent an abnormal increase in the
price of sugar because of the existing;
shortage were taken today by the de
partment of Justice.
Attorney-General Palmer notified
beet sugar refiners who have been
withholding their products from the
market until the price situation be
came stabilized, that the United States
sugar equalization board had deter
mined that 10 cents was a fair price
to be charged the wholesalers and
that any charge in excess of that
amount would be regarded as viola
tion of the food control act.
Refiners were asked to telegraph
tbeir concurrence in this price, which
would mean that they would put their
supply on the market Immediately.
Telegram Made Public.
The price to the wholesaler here
tofore haa been 9 cents. Retailers
have been allowed to charge 11 cents
a pound for controlled sugar under
the old prices. It is assumed that
the new retail increase would be not
greater than the wholesale advance.
Attorney-General Palmer made cub-
He the following telegram sent to beet
sugar refiners:
"After thorough investigation bv
the duly recognized authorities on
sugar, the United States Sugar Equal
ization ooard nas notified the depart
ment of justice of the following facts:
" 'As a considerable part of the
country generally supplied at this
time of the year with beet sugar may
be embarrassed because of the beet
sugar factories' failure to sell beet
sugar as produced and this condition
in turn is due to the uncertainty re
garding price, our Judgment is that
no higher price than 10 cents cash,
less 2 per cent seaboard basis, is Jus
tified and we hope that you will de
cide at once to begin marketing your
sugar on this basis and relieve the
very serious situation.
Stand Taken by Government.
"'The price of 10 cents net per
pound f. o. b. plant, which has been
offered by the sugar equalization
board for sugars in excess of require
ments in your territory as shown by
your 1917 deliveries as a minimum up
to 50,000 tons for November and De
cember shipments to relieve an acute
shortage among the manufacturers
east, is not to be considered a prece
dent or basis for local prices."
"I ask you to make your announce
ment of prices assessed on the above.
The department of Justice will treat
as unjust any price in excess of this
and consider such a charge a viola
tion of section 4 of the' Lever food
control act, as amended. Please wire
your concurrence in the above."
Judge Sidley . Ballou, representing
Hawaiian sugar manufacturers, today
denied before the senate agriculture
committee that the Hawaiian crop
had been sold to Japanese interests,
as stated recently in the senate by
Senator Smoot, republican, Utah. Vir
tually the entire crop, he said, has
been disposed of to two big Pacific
coast refiners at cent less a pound
than the price then prevailing in New
York.

Warning Against Radical

WAVE SPREADING RAPIDLY
Bankers Predict Mortgage Machin

dle Building Development.
ST. LOUIS. Oct. SO. A warning
against radical speculation was
sounded at the convention of the In
vestment Bankers' association of
America, which opened here today.
Thousands of "salesmen are can
vassing the country dispensing spu
rious stocks and bonds, ths bankers
asserted, and a wiive of speculation.
usually noted after a war. Is spread
ing over the cojntry.
William O. Baker, Jr., of Baltl
more, president of the association,
compared the situation with ths
sperulaticn era re which followed the
Franco-Prussian war and in which
many residents of Germany were
made paupers. "
Building Boom Expected.
There is a retarded building de
velopment extending over practically
all of the United States, which, when
under way, will tax the capacity of
existing mortgage machinery to the
utmost, according to the report of
the real estate securities committee
at the convention of the Investment
Bankers' association tonight.
Aside from this, continues the re
port, a considerable portion of many
of our cities, notably New York, will
practically have to be rebuilt in the
next 20 years, and the existing mort
gage machinery is inadequate for the
purpose.
The committee's report adds thai
real estate conditions the country
over may be said to be active. The
committee says that a recent study
in 25 cities Indicates that labor costs
have increased during the last. two
years an average of 55 per cent and
material prices 78 per cent. "The
higher labor and building costs have
prevented a more rapid development
of the mortgage business at a time,
when with these factors normal, the
growth would have been pronounced."
ays the report.
Municipal Bond Sales Grow.
The committee said that the move- ,
ment toward a wider recognition of
mortgages as the basis for long-term
bonds would eventually succeed, thus
bringing this class of property well
within the scope of an acceptable
basis for securities which shall be
dealt in actively by the association.
The municipal securities committee
which also reported at tonight's ses
sion, called attention to the fact that
the sale of state, city, county and mu
nicipal bonds during the last year has
almost doubled that of the preceding
year. The records, according to the
report, show from October 1, 1918, to
October 1. 1919, sales amounting to
1564,683.453. '
