FAMOUS WHEAT CORNERS
RECORD SHOWS THAT THEIR
PROMOTERS LOST AND PRO.
DucERs BENEFITED.

Chicago, March 2G.-Special--
Record OF the corners In grain In
the United States. just compiled, in.
idcates that corners are now things
of the past partly because the ma.
tons crops have grown too big for
corners TO be attempted, partly be.
cause the losers usually have been
the "cornerists" and partly because
legitimate boards of trade have stop
ped them. The record from the civil
war on shows, contrary to common
belief, that the producers were ben
Gifted by the corners as they were
afforded the opportunity to sell their
crops at fictitious prices before
the. corner collapsed, susually ru-
ming in their collapse the men VINO
attempted them. The speculation
which becomes market factor nee
essarily benefits the price paid to
producers.
I'm May, 1867. there was "cor
ner" in wheat, and on the 18th day
Of that month. the price was forced
up TO $2.N5. only to fall back to S2lG
the day the corner" ended. The
farmer who did not sell his wheat
at the fictitious prices he could
have secured, claimed that the cor.
ner" did not benefit him. In Au-
gust, 1871, there was another "cor-
ner' and the price was forced 70
sl.30, and wheat sold quite freely
at that Again in August 1872.
wheat was forced up to S1.61, but az
the end of the month was sl19.
During May. 1880, there was a small
corner" but the range was only
ll2 TO 119. In August, 1881, there
was another Corner" the price ad
yancing from s119 to s1.3S. In June
1887, the memorable Cincinnati
combination to corner wheat de-
veloped prices being advanced from
so j-S to % "a cents. but the cor
ner' collapsed, running the men en-
gineering it, and causing the failure
of several Cincinnati banks. But
the producers who sold on the
bulge" made money. In September,
1883, there was Corner" the price
being run up from 1894 to $500,
or over sl10 per bushel.
Everybody remembers the famous
Letter deal which collapsed in
June, 1898, with a loss to Joe"
Letter of many millions of dollars,
the bulk of which and much more
producers of the country received
for the price for wheat was run up
from below the dollar mark to
S1S5. It is not exaggerating to say
that that deal netted full so cents
per bushel to producers who took
advantage of it, and all had chance
! to.

he was captured and brought back
TO Oklahoma for trial. He was sen.

ed March - by Governor Haskell
as a result of good behavior. The
trouble between the two men arose
over grand jury investigations for
horse thievery. which implicated
Sweeney. Sweeney believed that
MattoX was responsible for the state
suspecting him, and for several
months, according to MattoX, heaped
insult and abuse upon him whenever
opportunity offered. Finally, in Pom

Sweeney. who was drinking, slapped
Mattox in the face and dared him to
resent, whereupon MattoX stabbed
him to death.
Mattox, in 1889, during a free for

OAKS BEAT
JUNIOR SOX
Van HaItren Lines Out Nice Three
Sacker in Last Half of the
Tenth, Scoring VIM
ming Run

SAN DIEGO, March 16.-The Oakland
league players took the measure of the
second team of the Chicago White SoX
today in an exceedingly pretty ten
inning game, which was marked by
good fielding throughout.
On account of the soreness of all or
the Chicago pitchers, Ike Butler went
into the box for the Windy City men.
He is one of the pitchers of the san
Diego team and has been playing all
winter. He goes to Tacoma for the
season.
He pitched a star game for Chicago,
holding the Oaklands down to five hits.
Wright and Carnes pitched for the oak
land team and the former was very
effective, but the latter allowed seven
hits, and two os the three runs were
earned off his delivery.
Oakland's first two runs were made
in the second inning before the Chicago
team had awakened to knowledge OF
the fact that they had something to
do. 1T was simply sleepy playing that
let the runs in.
In the ninth inning the score was
tied by La Jeune making a hit over
the center field fence for, home run.
1t was the longest hit ever made on
the grounds.
The game was won for Oakland In
the last part of the tenth on hit
down third base line by Van Haltren,
who scored on three-bagger by Heit-
muller that almost equaled La Jeune
hit of the preceding inning.

BOYS LAUGH
AT MILLER
HOW JOCKEYS SHOULD REDUCE
WEIGHT
Boots Bellairs Tells of Advantage of
Gymnasium at Track and Few
Jokes on Premier
Rider

Boots Bellairs, who has charge of
the Jockeys room at Santa Anita park,
in an interview with a Herald reporter
told of the advantages of a gymnasium
for the jockeys, the pleasure that may
be derived and tells a joke on Jockey
Miller, the premier rider of this
country.
On Saturday, when Miller was here
to ride Del Cruzados in the Colin
stakes and while waiting for the race,
Boots heard a terrible noise which
shook the whole building. He went
down to the gym to investigate. where
he found Miller with a four-pound In
dian club in each hand beating the
stuffings out of the best punching bag
the boys have.
His next blunder, as Boots called IT.,
was when Miller tried to use the elastic
pulley machine. and that put Boots in
mind of his boyhood days when he
used to handle a little bow and
arrow gun, for Miller pulled the han
die on the machine the full
length and let it go with bang, and
that was the finish of that apparatus.
But Miller capped the climax when
he spied the rowing machine and was
told what it was for. Every jock and
valet then started to make his escape.
"Ah, wat yer givin' me-" said Miller,
"there amt no water here" He was
shown how to use it, with the result
that it took him only a few minutes
before he put it out of business. 1.
1t did not take Miller long to learn
how to use the different pieces of APP
paratus and in a short time he had
them all out. He certainly knows how
to use the gloves and had all the big
boys putting.
1--WE have one of the finest gym
nasiums in these parts said Boots,
"and l think all jockey clubs ought to
provide them for the jockeys, as it is
the best training a boy can get, es-
pecially when he is called upon to re-
duce in weight. The old way of doing
this is for the boy to dress real warm,
with perhaps five sweaters on, go out,
hit the road for eight or ten miles and
go to a Turkish bath. The result is
the boy will be all tired out and per-
haps not be able to do justice to his
mount, and the public will make big
yell"
The boys now riding at Santa Anita
park have adopted different measures
to take off weight and that is with the
use of the gymnasium. When boy
is asked to make certain weight he goes
into the gym, puts on the gloves. pro-
ceeds to punch the bag until he feels
the perspiration coming, then uses the
pulley machine, alternating with the
Indian clubs. This will reduce his
weight, leave him strong and hardens
his muscles.
The Jockeys are very fond of their
gym. and visiting riders are shown the
utmost courtesy as there are placards
posted all over the room, reading:
make Yourself at Home" After each
race the riders can be seen running
for the gym and get busy with the
gloves The boys now riding at Santa
Anita are the liveliest lot IN TINS coun-
them which Boots says is because they
are in good physical condition by hav-
ing the gym at their disposal.
