SHEEP-As usual on q Saturday moth
ing In the way Of sheep and lambs ap-
peared on the market and in consequence
values remain the same as yesterday
Good to choice lambs are now selling
around $6.75G17.10, as compared with &.50
6675 week ago, thus showing an i'm
provement Of fully 2bQD40c In prices over
the close of last week. There are COM
paratively few really choice lambs conn
ing and packers are apparently anxious
FOR them On the other hand, the In
between kinds have not been In quite SO
good demand, values being, however,
about 15QI25c above those prevailing at
the end of last week. This class of lambs
was much sought after by feeder buyers,
who in some cases paid more than the
packers were willing 10 give. The weeks
supply made up. the large end Of the
total receipts and an unusually large
number Of lambs was suitable for kill
ing, thin stuff being In meager supply.
Fat sheep offerings were little IL any
larger than last week, ewes and year
lings being more numerous than wetn-
ers. On almost every day fat sheep COM

ceipts Outside of few loads Of heavy
Montana wethers practically no wethers
were on sale. Trade In fat sheep was
satisfactory most of the week, as pack
ers were apparently ready buyers for
anything at all attractive In the killing
line Ewes are generally a quarter
higher than the close Of last week. There

Albert ]. Beverldge. Americas best
dressed politician, said In Chicago of a
corrupt boss:
Hes very virtuous--oh, very virtuous.
"A millionaire once went to him and
said.
I want to get to the senate. Will
you sell me your support?'
No, sir! the boss answered, striking
himself upon the chest. NO sirl I'm q
free born American citizen and I'll sell
my support to no man."
But said the millionaire blandly, as
he drew out his checkbook and fountain
pen; but, If you won't sell me your sup
port, perhaps you'll rent 1t to me for the
term OF the campaign?
Now your talkin',' said the boss In

CHINESE. A. {. GAME SHOULD
Be GOOD FOR THE FANS

Those Chinese baseball players GER

Such was the comment made by a
fan last night when the Chinese ball
players turned out strong for their
daily workout. Just before dark, all
the Oriental stars practiced the fancy
slides. which they have mastered
while on the long tour of the United
States. Even Pitcher Apau. weighing
close to $50 pounds, seemed to take a
natural liking for tae soft dirt and
went through the stunt 81 --fully. On
Saturday afternoon I ne game

some exhibitions of base stealing and

To go up against Foster Robinson
and Brito next Saturday, Captain Al

battery. The responsibility will be on
the shoulders of. Luck zee and Kan
Yen, the two youngsters who seven
months ago were carried along as
utility men, but who have to the

touted as the best battery team in

their awkward appearance. The wee
ran Apau will be given a rest SO that
he will pitch the following Saturday
either against the Portuguese or Uncle
Sans soldiers of Leiiehua.
The rejuvenated Asahis, who were
out for practice on the regular dfa-
mond last night. are the men who
have recently taken a new lease Of
life. Since last Sunday in the victory
over the experienced J. A. C.'s cham
pions for two seasons, Manager Abe
of the Asahis has been wearing a six
irch smile, and in his heart, one can
tell that he wants a crack at the Chi
nese in the near future. Many Local

LONDON, September ia kindly
correspondent recently wrote to the
effect that he considered | was more
than fair in chronicling the success OF
foreign sportsmen over Britishers, but
often failed to give equal prominence
to the success of our men when the
positions were reversed. The writel'
can only accept this as a compliment
for he would far rather be oFer-fair to
our rivals than otherwise.
There is also another side to the
matter. from a point Of view of inter
est. The success of the Australian
and French oarSmen at Henley regat-
ia, for instance. happened to be the
outstanding feature of the regatta. 1t
was therefore the proper thing to give
the victors due recognition. Further,
the defeat of British sportsmen strikes
most Britishers AS something more ex-
ceptional than their victories. Until
quite recent times we were top dog
in so many sports and pastimes that
cur wins were accepted as matter of
course. The Olympic games move
ment has led to other nations making
big progress. and our supremacy has
been challenged in many directions.
This is all the better for internationl
sport. and also for good feeling be-
tween England and other nations.
There may be some who see in our de-
feat on the field of sport signs OF de-
