Reputation is a great' thing, and so is a price tag. i But both of them have cer- j tain qualities that have been lik-. ened to a curved wooden missile used I tn war and in the chase by native Australians. And they do say that when a reputation, or a price tag, hurled eon-i i fdcr.tiy and with much eclat into the faces of the fans, comes hurtling ■ back from the blue, there is aoth>!><r that connects with such stun- i ning and decisive force. 1 here are two baseball recruits who start the 1933 season with those things and we are making bold i to offer our fatherly warnings here ami now. The gentlemen are Walter Beck, who makes his debut with the Dodgers midst a cloud of opti- , mittic pc-w-w-. w cbnceiniug his abilities as a pitcher; and George Stainback, who opens with the Cubs by virtue of a purchase price of $75,000 many pennies, and they want you to know it. < i It is tough to live up to a reputation, and equally as icy to justify I

Beck is to be used as a regular pitcher with the Dodgers and plenty is expected iof him. He's not exactly a novice, i The Browns tried him out twice, 1 and he has been with the minors for i five years. He is touted as the Lest I righthander the Southern Associa- | tion has produced since Dazzy i X ance l ast year with Memphis he i won twenty-seven games and lost! six. and his record for three season/ with the outfit shows sixty-two victories and twenty-five the other way around.

It was pointed out by i President Roosevelt, Secretarj [ Wood in and lia kers t hroughout the I country, that withdrawal of funds I friii., banking was the cause of the' break-down of the banking struc ; ture iu the country. The money was i hoarded a. d banks coukl not cash cheeks, because the medium of oxchange was tied up and Ibero was only one thing for the President to do. A holiday was declared.

His posii tion is in the outfield and he is said I to be great guns as a batter. There is plenty money on the young gent. His legs are insured for $50,009 and his throwing arm for $25,000. Here’s hoping he won’t over-reaeh himself in trying to justify the price on his head. _ Another candidate for whom big things are predicted is George Puccinelli. who comes to the Cards j from Rochester. George did things in a big way last season, leading I the Internationa! League in batting. And the way things look in the Cardinal outfield, he should have a good chance for a berth. These three boys are the outstanding National League rookies of the new season.

The Aldrich program wan announeed in a long statement which revealed that Chase N'ationdl was preparing to divorce its investment affiliate, the Chase Harris Forbes Corporation, largest bank investment affiliate in the world. Tims Chase follows the lead of the National City Hank which announced a similar separation of bark and securities affiliate Tuesday r.iglv Under the proposals of Aldrich, the entire method of operation of such firms as J. P. Morgan & Co., would have to he changed. Since the Rockefellers always have been primarily industrialists rather than bankers, the move i was regarded as a sharp intensi-; fication of the feeling frequently' iin recent months among the in-i j dustriali.sts that bankers should I be divested in some way of their 1 great measure of control over i major industries.
