Tomorrow is the first notice day for May in our market, but There will probably be few notices issued, hut the chances are they will be promptly stopped.

 Some very unfavorable development in the condition of the new crop might arouse outside speculative interest. but in the meanwhile. the professionals will have to do all the heavy weight lifting by them selves. and the task is not an agreeable one. We favor keeping off the long side until the new cron develops some unfavorable feature, which will justify buying at around the present level of prices. The situation in the Atlantics will. we think. bear close watching from now on. Texas and the rest of the belt do without rain for some time. LOVEMAN & COMPANY,

GAME PROTESTED
First League Scrimmase Over the ST..
100 Salary Limit Started by the Pro-
test Filed Before tuesdays Game.

The first scrimmage of the fight
which will doubtless follow over the
team salary of s1,10O was started
Tuesday afternoon, when Manager
Brown filed a protest on games played
here yesterday and today. While on
the face of the protest there is nothing
to indicate it is based on the ruling of
the league regarding the salary limit,
that phase will crop out when the pro-
test is taken up by the directors in
July.
Browns protest is based on the al
legation that Manager Boyles con-
tract has never been filed with Sec
rotary Farrell, of the national assoc
citation. That all contracts of all play
filed with Secretary Farrell was
one of the rulings of the
board at the Ottumwa meeting last
fall. 1t came UP in connection with
the salary limit, and was intended as
one of the safeguards protecting the
limit established. The Ottumwa meet
ing voted that all contracts must be
filed, but neither Boyle nor Manager
Egan, of Burlington. have complied.
President Peckham, twice during the
month of May, issued circulars to all
clubs notifying them that all contracts
must be filed, and unless they We're
games in which players played whose
contracts were not filed, would be
subject to protests, but protests must
be made before the games We're played.
If the directors, at the meeting to be
called in July to decide this and other
points, stand behind the action of last
fall, they can do nothing else but
throw out all games so protested.
Rurlington's games are constantly
open to protest for the same reason,
but none. as yet, have been made.
The contention is that both of these
managers are exceeding the salary
limit, and have employed the method
of not filing their own contracts as one
way of avoiding knowledge of the ex-
cess of the salary limit becoming pub
lie.
