Five hundred thousand are to be distributed in Venezuela, Columbia, Ecquador, Peru and Bolivia while the other half are to go to Argen tne and Chile. This has been learned by the United Press on unquestionable au thority . Several months ago a Russion Commission of twelve members vis ited Washington en route to South America. They obtained letters of introduc tion from John Barrett, director of the Pen American Union to Sooth American officials. ( They, avoided the State Depart JHfiBt.. i i irt,,i.i.l.l.nJ,l.. The Russian Government is said to be preparing to subsidize colon ists, paying their passage and sup plying each with a small cash capi tal to stock and equip a farm. Persons in intimate touch with the situation declare that Russia wishes to totally depopulate Poland which has always been a thorn in her side Poland would then be repopulated with Russians from the North. Large trade inducements are be ing offered the South American Re publics in order to obtain the good will of the governments, among which are promises of the estab lishment of banks and eteanishlj) lines. The chief concern of the Latin Republics is said to be the fear of alien domination, politically and commercially, and therefore they are acting with hesitancy.

They go into what promises to Le one of the most interesting series ever played between clubs of the National and American leagues after the blgtest race filr.ee 'he nevor-forgotten fllnish in 190S wben the Culs and Giants fought down to the last day. The driving finish, the bitter clashes with rival teams, the nerve Vracking strain of holding a lead ,'y thg margin of a few points all have been surmounted by these two premier baseball clubs. They will Fo luto the series with the admira tion and Interest of a nation behind them. Wherever there are baseball fans there will be eager watching for the returns of the crowning i vent of a season. The Had Sox, a world's champion from last year when they pounded out four victories in five games over the 1 hlllies, will go into tho series favored to win. Man for man, th" team representing the American League stands out as a better organ zation than Its National League rival . ThA year will see no clianno from last in that Interest will center In the pitching staff of the two clubs. The Dodgers have a powerful at- iark. The Red Sox have a wonder ful defense, backed up by a pitching staff that has pulled the club to the top of the leagti" every time when It peemed they might falter: It Is hard to majte a comparison of the pitching staff for American pitching has been conceded to be stronger than the National brand for several years. Also, it is held that Amer ican League pitchers have to face (Heavier batting than their brothers In the Tener circuit. In the past A merlcan League hurlers have borne up well heavy assaults from the ol der organization and It seems reas onable to believe they will do so this year. The Brooklyn hurlers. have done remarkably well. They have had a powerful scoring machine tP help them out, but there have been times . as there are in the life of every baseball club, where the issue de pended upon tight pitching and they rose to the occasion. , Jt will be up to Shore, Ruth, Leo nard, Foster and Ma4s to hold down rthe .slugging bats of such wallopers as Sasey Stengel, Jake.
