' Many suspectthat the Cubs fired the wrong man a nd" some writers have been bold enough to say so mentioning names.

National League ?!&{?• ' We thought the Cubs were showing a reversal of form that might be just right. Last year they were champs in the spring training standings, then fa' down and go boom in the real race. This year they couldn't win for losin' in the grapefruit league and it looked like they were saving their punches for the big show. Stan Hack should be in a good spot in spite of a big job ahead. Their present position leaves the Cubs team only one way to go. Another managerial change that hasn't hit the headlines concerns our Shamrocks.

Hester, 180- IAA PRESIDENT GIVES VIEWS ON FARM PRICE SUPPORf Net farm income would be higher in the long run under a variable Vrlce support system for farm products than under a high, rigid price ^support system. This statement was made at Springfield by Charles B. Shuman, Sullivan, 111., president of the Illinois Agricultural association. He spoke at an annual spring conference of nearly 1,000 Farm Bureau leaders from all sections of Illinois. "Farm prices are not really made in Washington," Shuman said. "Prices for faiin products are set when consumers buy these products. How much of the commodity is available and how much consumers are willing to pay for it are the final factors in deter-' frtining what the price will be." Under the present high, rigid price supports are 90 per .cent cf parity for basic Crops, huge amounts of farm products have beeji^put into storage by the government, the IAA president said. The IAA is the statewide Farm Bureau organization. •This government policy of putting farm products into storage just delays letting the laws of supply and demand operate to set prices for these products," ShU; man declared, j The IAA leader used eggs as an example of how high price supports have failed. While under 90 per cent prices supports in 1950, eggs brought farmers only 72 per cent of parity and consumption was 386 eggs per capita. When price supports were removed at the end of that year, eggs brought farmers 89 per cent of parity in 1951 while consumption rose to 395 per capita. In 1952, farmersNjpeceived 82 per cent of parity and - consumption was 407 per person. In 1953, it was 99 per cent of parity and 397 per capita. "Today, without price supports, eggs are selling for 107 per cent of parity," Shuman said. The IAA president declared he has detected recently a considerable shift in thinking of farmers regarding price supports. More and more fanners are coming to favor a system of variable price supports for firm products, he said. "Farmers have seen how farm j-rices have fallen 21 per cent in the last two years, even though basic crops were supported at 9() jjer cent of parity Revels hy the government," he declared. This has led many farmers to believe they would have received a higher income if variable supports had been in effect. Many farmers know that, if prices for" crops don't vary, the amount of acres for those crops must be varied, Shuman said. This acts to reduce net farm income, he stated. Shuman also said the IAA will support the constitutional amendment to reapportion the state of Illinois. He was recently named co-chairman of the committee which will work for-passage of the amendment. ®f)e Importing Ifaos bf 3. 6. Taylor Spink Fancy Pitches Shorten Careen So-called "new fangled" pitching now displayed in the major leagues does not compare with the power hurling of the earlier era of the game, according to Bobby Wallace, old-time pitcher and shortstop, in the first of a two part stoiy appearing in The Sporting News. He calls the slide? "a disappointed curve," and insists that the scriewball, employing arm muscles in reverse twist, takes more out of a modem pitcher's arm than do tire conventional fast ball, curve and change-up. "For my dough," says Bobby, "in the big pinch I'd rather have a pitcher out there with the old fire-ball and dizzy twisters than all pour modern Knucklers and dipsy-do artists." Still, as an ex-pitcher himself, he doesn't want to be too dogmatic about it. "It could be tfcis rabbit ball is bringing in a new theory of pitching," Wallace says in The Sporting News story. "As pitchers know they cannot throw this rabbit ball by the batters for nine full innings, maybe the strategy is based on the hope of fooling the ibatter by a mere eighth or quarter of an inch. Such a scant margin is enough to result in a high fly on a ball hit above the bat center or a grounder below bat center. It is by such tiny fractions of inches that batters become heroes or bums. "If there Is a slow evolution in the theory of pitching, I'm sure today's variety is playing havoc with a lot of salary soup- [ ers. I think it was the late Dr. I Robert Hyland of St Louis who claimed that these stuff pitchers were putting such unnatural strain on their pitching muscles that some careers were being shortened by years." According to The Sporting isiews, it is reassuring to Bobby's personal outlook that the great pitchers of today, such as Robin Robertst and Allie Reynolds, are still in the . classic Johnsonian motife : •, .

He is a thinfaced, red-haired righthander of Viking ancestry, eager to prove that his chance has not come too late, says The Sporting News. Fred Hutchinson, Tiger manager, plans to give him a shot as a relief pitcher since Johnson has excellent control. Milo has pitched for Little Rock in the Southern Association for the past seven seasons, and, quoting Hutchinson, "Certainly, he has had experience enough." "The first Florida trial I ever had," said Johnson slyly, "was with the Army at Ft. Drew near Tampa. "1 must've made good in that one. They shipped me to* England as a gunner with the 8th Air Fore*." Yankees Go To General Motors For Sain In order to get Joihnny Sain back, the New York Yankees had to meet two conditions. First, it Aad to go to General Motors and get permission for Sain to leave his Chevrolet car and truck agency at Walnut Ridge, Ark. Then it had to lift his salary ten grand, to $30,000. Sain had been warned, according to The Sporting News, by the GM people that, if he wanted to retain the agency, he would have to stay home and stick to (business. Apparently there had been some difficulty during the 1953 season, when John's pitching with the Yankees prevented his personal participation in the business during the season, Short Notes From Hie Sporting News" *'v < According to The Sporting News you can look for -a trade between Hank Greenberg of the Indians and the Yankees. Hank, huddling with Dan Topping at Miami Beach last week, wasn't talking about Miami's delightful climate. Willie Shants,. kid brother of Bobby Shantz, is one of the catchers in the A's camp -- and one of the best -- unfortunately, he can't hit as well as his brother, Bobby. Do you know that last season 34 different players performed at third base in the American League ? National League clubs employed 26. During the winter the' Washington Senators turned down offers for Julio Beoquer, Cuban first baseman, that ran as high as $50,000 from Cleveland, the White Sox and the Dodgers. He's only 21 and will be the Washington first baseman in a couple of years says The Sporting News. The catching situation on the Detroit Tigers is so unsettled there are rumors of a switch with Buffalo for A1 Lakeman, 34-year-old receiver who failed in three National League trials.

' No game fish may be taken by spear. Species which may be taken are carp, buffalo, suckers, gar and dogfish. Devices which may be legally used are spear, pitchfork, gig, and bow and arrow.
