BASEBALL NOTES

The following from the Monmouth
Review concerning Arthur Lage will
be of interest to many local fans:
Those baseball fans who have been
admirers Of the work of Arthur Lage
Of the Monmouth Browns, and they
constitute about all Of the fans Of
the circuit, will have to forego the
pleasure of seeing him play ball in
this circuit next year. Artie has been
drafted by Birmingham. according to
the dispatches. Birmingham also takes

backstop of the Central the past year
and has certainly earned the title
He played in every game that the
Browns participated in, and never
laid of a day. He leads the regular
catchers Of the league in fielding and
batted .274 for the season. Although
he got many bumps and bruises he
stayed by his work, and proved him
SELF not only hard worker but 4
heady one, and was one of the most
useful men in the league. Birming-
ham is In the Southern league which

In comparing the relative abilities
OF the Chicago Sox and Cubs. San
born in the Tribune declared that
Borton was the only Sox infelder
who was superaior to the Cub play
ers.s OF the former Speed Boy first
sacker, Sanborn writes:
Borton and Safer are both young
sters. The Cub has had only one years
regular seasoning, but that Is one
year more than Borton has had, De-
cause the latter has played fewer
games with the White Sox this sea
son than Safer did with the Cubs in
1911. Borton's superior batting abil-
ity offsets what Safer has on him IN
the way Of experience.
Starting where the baserunners do,
we find Borton outbatting Safer by
almost seventy points. and apparent.

spite Of the fact he has been In fast
and the Sox have worked against Safer
batting figures cover an entire sea-
son. while Bortons are for less than
half season. And the greatest dis
lance a batting average covers the
more difficult it Is to keep it above
the 800 mark. The pitchers have had
less time to study BOrton than IN
Saier's case, but that will not figure
in this series, because the Cub hurl-
ers have not pitched against Borton
and the Sox have worked against
four games. 1t won't do for south side
slabmen to pitch to Vic as they did
last year, for he is lot better hitter
than he was then. Unless the Cub
staff gets something on Borton which
no American league pitcher has dis
covered, he will outhit his rival
In fielding Borton has no weakness
unless possibly on making plays IN
which the pitcher covers first base.
That, apparently. 10 not FREQUENT
play in the minor leagues. When Safer
started in last year he seemed to have
a weakness on ground balls, but has
overcome this in great shape this
year. Both of them are splendid
marks to throw at.

WHEAT RECEIPTS
LARCE;C0RNS AGS
ARRIVALS 50 PER CENT IN Ex-
CESS OF LAST WEEK AND
LAST YEAR.

Chicago, Oct. Wheat prices were
pulled down today by large receipts
northwest. The arrivals there were so
per cent in excess Of both last week and
year ago. The opening was hc to Sc
off. December started at 90& to 81, the
same change from Saturday night as
the market taken altogether. A decline
to 9e9sc followed.
After a further decline, rally took
place owing to the relative smallness
OF the visible supply increase and be-
cause of big export clearances. The
clase was steady at Oh for December,
the same as Saturday night.
Slowness Of demand caused corn to
sag. December opened unchanged to Hc
lower at 53A to 53M and dropped to
5sh @53A.
The market later suffered an addi-
tional backset. the result Of fine wealth
er. The close was steady, with De-
cember 53A, net loss Of 1hc.
Oats weakened with other cereals.
December opened shade to h@Ac
down at 81 to S2h and seemed disposed
to keep within that range.
Strength at the yards carried pro-
visions higher. First sales were shade
to 10c up, with January at 1895 for
pork, $1O.s71a for lard and 5000 for
ribs.

FRESHMEN BEAT
the S0PAOMORES
FIRST YEARS TRIUMPH IN AN.
NuAL PusHeALL CONTEST
SATURDAY.

Mt. Pleasant, Oct. Iowa Wesley
an freshmen triumphed over the
sophomores In the annual pushball
contest on Wesleyan field Saturday
afternoon by the score OF three goals
to two. It was regular pushball con-
test, plus number Of extra added at
fractions, the whole furnishing fine
afternoon entertainment. No class
men were seriously injured though
many suffered cuts and bruises OF diff
ferent sizes and kinds. Cornic, a
member OF the sophomore team, re-
ceived such a severe bump on the
head in the FIRST third Of the game that
he was compelled to view the 70.
mainder of the contest from the side
lines. Captain CIV" Shipley Of the
sophomores, tore open a cash In the
head received during football practice
which may prevent him enterting the
gridiron contest next Saturday.
The contest Saturday was hard on
clothing, much Of 1t becoming rags
before the first third of ten minutes
was up, decollete effects becoming
more numerous as the fight pro-
crossed
The sophomores, by systematic
work, got the big ball over the goal
line twice In the first third. In the
second third the freshmen got more
team work into thar efforts, making
one goal. The final third, which was
q free for all for members of both
classes, resulted in two more goals for
the first year men. The time OF the
thirds was ten minutes, five minutes
and ten minutes.
Freshmen paraded the down town
streets Saturday night in celebration
Of their victory, which 1t Is hoped will
settle the question of class supremacy
for the year 1928.
The recently reorganized Wesleyan
band, under the direction Of Prof.
Julius Winters, made It's first appear
ance at the Saturday contest.
