WHEAT BRACEO
BY SHIPMENTS
STAPLE CEREAL AIDED BY EARLY
REPORTS AND DETARDED BY
ARGENTINE REPORT.

Chicago, Dec. 30.-Wheat developed
strength today owing to smaller worlds
shipments than expected. The advance,
however, was restrained by predictions
that estimates of the Argentine export
surplus would have to be enlarged.
Local spectators were the chief buy
ers The opening was unchanged to lac
up. May started at 913s to 91A. A
rise to 91A @91as followed.
Wet weather made corn firm. May
opened shade off to a like amount
higher at IS to 4Sh and steadied at
48@4SBc.
Oats followed the upward course Of
other grain. May which started I'M
changed to a sixteenth dearer at 32a
to 32& @32B seemed inclined to keep
within that range.
Provisions took the upgrade with
hogs. First sales varied from Satur-
day nights level to 15c higher with
May at SIS for pork, 1915 to $3.50 for
lard and 1910 to 1915 for ribs.

BALL SCRIBES
SHOULD UNITE
MEMBERS OF WRITER'S ASSoClA.
TON ARE ASKED TO WORK
TOGETHER.

Since the organization of the Base
ball Writer'S association there mas
been much progress in uniform scor-
ing, but there are still a few points
which should be decided, says an
eastern writer. The most important
Of these Is the play on which the bat
ter advances a base runner on a
fielder's choice and which does not
succeed, and on which no error Is
given.
The simplest form Of this play Is
when a batter hunts. with runner on
first base, and the fielder who han
dies the ball makes an attempt to
force the runner at second base, but
fails to head him off, though the ball
is handled perfectly.
The same thing applies on any
play where an attempt to retire an
advanced runner Ia made without sue
cess and without error.
The definition Of sacrifice NIT IS
very plain in the rules and any scorer
who calls this play sacrifice 10 VIC.
lating a plain ruling. That method
can therefore be eliminated without
further argument. Many scorers give
the batter a time at bat but no mt
on play Of this kind, thus penaliz-
ing him for getting to first base.
II he had been thrown out at first,
thus lessening the chances OF his side
to score a run in the inning, he would
have been credited with a sacr1f1ce
and no time at bat, but because he is
safe at first he is given a time at bat
thus hurting his batting average
through no fault Of his own.
The only reason ever advanced for
scoring the play in this manner Is that
the batter would have been thrown out
IL the fielder had tried for him at first
instead Of attempting to throw out the
advanced runner at second, third or
home. Ma..
But it Is highly unfair to pick out
this particular case to decide what
might have been done. In all plays
that come up, the scorer does not
determine what might have been done,
but simply records what actually was
done, which is his duty.
In cases of misjudged flies. dilatory
throws and various bonehead plays,
which all scorers have frequently seen
the batter is invariably given a base
hit, though the ball should have been
nAnQleO easily. lou OiLcH sCo PoP
fly ball fall safe between two or more
flelders. any one of whom could have
handled it, and this punk play always
results in hit being scored by for
the batter.
He is far more entitled to a hit when
he lays the ball down and gets to first
without an error being made simply be-
cause a fielder thinks he has chance
to retire a more advanced runner, but
fails in his attempt to do 80. The run.
ner is advanced, the batter reaches
first in safety. no one has been retired
and no error has been made. There
Ia not legitimate reason in the world
for calling this play anything but a
base hit
It Is time that the scoring commit.
tee of the writer's association get to,
gether-en this point and issue instruc.
tions to all members that this play
should be scored as hit. Then the
batters would get what Is coming to
them in all cities, as they have for a
long time in Cincinnati.

The Eddyville high school bowed
down to defeat to the Y. M, G. A. mid
sets saturday afternoon 40 to IA. when
me whistle blew at the end OF the first
naii the score stood 1Alto 8 III favor Of
Edayville. II was not superior work
tnat did this but Eddyville averaged
ABOUT twenty pounds to the man henv-
Ter than the midgets. Feefan and
SchAfer could not get into their usual
1nvincible team work and when aW-
son saw the parsonage OF Leander COM
IN" toward him he thought OF the folks
at home. Between halves Eieenmann
tooFT the midgets into his Office and
pssSsed the magic word over them. An
derson was substituted tor Dawson and
humphrey got on Garrett. From the
start there was no chance for EDDY
vile. The forwards started In BY ret
tlng sixteen points In the first Ave min
utes or play. With Anderson on his
neck Leander did not get close enough
70 the basket to think about getting
shot. When the whistle blew ending the
second half the rnidgets had rolled I'D
80 and the gents from up the river were
quite lucky to still have their IA they
made IN the first half. The final score
was 40 to ~.
