Blow Spoils His
Game

Walter Sharp of 244 West Fifty-third
street was the victim of a hold-up
early yesterday morning, according to
the report made to the police detectives
several hours later.
Sharp said he was riding home on
his wheel, following the close Of
party given at the home of friend.
While riding on Central avenue, he
said, a roughly dressed man crossed
the street in front of him and asked
for a match. Sharp made no reply,
but tried to speed his machine past
the man.
The supposed highwayman grasped
the handles of the wheel and drew
knife on the rider.
Sharp struck the thug a singing
blow in the face just as he felt the
knife enter his chest and darted for
ward. He said the highwayman fell
back after vainly trying to grasp the
bicycle.
After reaching his home Sharp found
he was stabbed at a point two inches
below the heart.
The cut was fortunately not deep
and he was able to dress the wound
temporarily until he secured the serv-
ices of physician yesterday. Sharp
was unable to give a good description
of the footpad. but two detectives were
detailed to follow the slight clew

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
New Wheat on the Way-Priees Fluc-

Strong
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Aug. 1S.-Excellent weather
for harvesting the spring sown crop in
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Northwes-
tern Canada was the primary cause Of a
weak wheat market. Advices from the
northwest reported that new wheat Is
already on the way to market from sec
tions where the harvesting has been COM
pleted and that the movement is ex-
pected to enlarge rapidly within the next
two weeks. A minor reason for the weak
undertone was a decline in the price of
wheat al Liverpool which was due to
improved weather conditions in Great
Britain.
AS trading progressed selling increased
in volume and the weakness became pro-
nounced. Offerings were largely by
shorts, The strength of corn had a
steadying effect late in the session. The
market closed easy. September opened
