to coach on the bases. And de-
spite this fact managers often put
their dullest men on this job, and
at best make it a rule to send out
pitchers for the work. And pitch
ers are obviously the men in the
world least likely to have accurate
judgment about plays.
"A coacher often has some of the
most complicated sorts of problems
to figure out A man is on first,
the batter hits safe. 1t may be
anything. The runner comes dash
ing to third the outhelder is mess
ing up the fielding a bit Then,
all in second or two, the coacher
must figure a dozen things, among
them the score, the speed of the
base runner, the throwing ability Of
the outfielder, the courage and clev-
erness of the catcher in touching
out runners at the plate and a half
dozen minor matters like that. Is
1t any wonder they sometimes go
wrong?
The Cracker coachers have been
immoderately weak this year in
using the right Judgment about
making plays. Not improbably I'M
der the new regime there will be
an Improvement in this respect.
Alperman himself is a wonder at
coaching on the bases and every
where else, and he may introduce
some new tactics.
IT HE financial troubles of the
Nashville club are to be re-
GREETED, and if the worst befals and
the Nashville franchise is trans
ferred to Little Rock 1t will be
crime against baseball and against
civilization
Nashville is plenty big enough to
support a ball team in any minor
league in the couptry 1t has the
people and it has the enthusiasm
The Rock city turned out, for one
historic game, the largest crowd
that ever saw contest in the
Southland In years past the fran
chise has been a paying institution.
A niggardly policy for several sue
cessive years got baseball in a bad
way. When the franchise changed
hands there was an Improvement,
but not enough money was turned
loose to give the town q winner.
Attendance has been way off there
of late and with the team sixth and
likely to drop lower no immediate
Improvement is looked for.
II the ball club should fail in the
hands OF some strong hackers 1t
would be big thing for Nashville.
To let the franchise go to Little
Rock would be a black eye for
Nashville and a body blow at the
Southern league. one can't but
admire Little Rocks gameness in
bidding steadily for Southern
league franchise but the fact re-
mains and always will, that the
city is too small and too remotely
located ever TO be a desirable part
OF the Southern circuit.

A REVIEW OF
THE SITUATION
California Millers in Need of
Wheat B~adly-Chicago
Soon into the Market.

During the past week there have
been some wild fluctuations made and
new records have been noted in values
for various descriptions of wheat. not
w~ithstanding that prices LAY gone up
considerably and values have reached
the limits placed on by growers who
held their wheat. and now are not
disposed to market the same for
awhile. Sales are not over largo, when
considering the quantity of wheat still
remaining in growers hands. The
rapid advancement in prices caused
many of the holders to withdraw their
offerings from the market for the
present. The chief cause of the sud-
den upturn in values for the past fort
night has been attributed to Califor-
mia buyers who are in need of wheat
state are owned by a few millerS. and
millers who were figuring
that they had plenty of wheat until
May We're confronted With the theory
that if they did not get in and pur-
chase some of the offerings made they
would have no wheat after the middle
OF May. The demand for flour has en-
tirely ceased, owing to the advance
quotations in wheat, and why millers
should pay present quotations in
wheat is a mystery to a greater por-
ton of the grain trade. There are no
foreign orders being received for -four,
owing to the high prices prevailing.
European markets nav advanced in
values for cargoes but no new bust
ness ear be transacted to that part of
the world. owing to the scarcity Of
tonnage. The vessels now in port will
clean up the European business for
the season. No new business has ma
terializcd. either for Japan. Mexico or
South America account. and it looks
as if the milling trade will have to alb
sorb the remaining wheat held.
Millfccd.
Such an extreme scarcity of all
inds of feed exists that little business
is passing and prices are strong.
There is nc let up in the demand for
millfeed and prices are 81 per ton
higher. Millers have none for sale
and any quotations would be nominal
for a lots for shipment. Most of the
mills have their output booked for
May and June and there is enough de-
mand to take care of about all the feed
the millers care to offer. Interior mil
lerS are not offering n to coast deal
ers and the California demand is be-
coming quite strong; as to quotations,
bran is quoted $24. shorts SIG and
middlings $50 per ION.
Flour.
The extremely bullish wheat mark
cts now existing have stirred up fiour
buyers and the demand from dealers
and bakers has been better this week
for many months past and those
that have been pursuing the hand-to
mouth policy have realized too late
that values are on the upward trend
and commenced placing orders for
-four until September delivery, fearing
thai further increase of values would
be a detriment to them. a great many
of the shipping contracts that ave
been ~slumbering We're ordered to be
dispatched at once. and on the whole
the market at the present time is
as strong as one can expect with
the increased prices of wheat.

MARKET STAGNANT
Dull Until Last Hour When

New York. May S.-The day in the

Steel Active.
Great strength and active in steel
was the one striking feature of the
last hour, the movement being coinci-
dent with advices from Pittsburg and
other active trade centers to the eff
feet that another advance in finished
products is contemplated. Prices
shaded in the final dealings, but the
closing was fairly steady.
London took no important part in
the trading here. There is ground
for the belief hat the higher level
