OF supply and demand regulates prices.
There is no bar 10 a buyer bidding Is
high as he wishes and there is no hard
and fast rule fixing prices FOR the sales

ever. and that Is that an act once sold

sold The moment buyer closes with
an agent for an act he fills out a slip
with the name Of the act, the price and
the date and registers II under a time

each swatted four hits.
EVers and his Cubs come home to-
morrow to begin three-game series
with the Cards. Following those en-
gagements the Cubs go to Pittsburgh
for four games and then to st. Louis
for one Returning home, each Of
the Eastern teams will be met on the
West Side, beginning with Boston,
Wednesday, June 4.
Murphy intimated yesterday that
he was about to sign Pitcher RUDE
Schauer from Northern League, but
advices from the minor organization
say no such move has been made.
The Cubs will keep stumbling along
with their present one-cylinder
mound force until all chance for
making a decent finish in the race
is ended.
The best thing to do with the East
ern trip of the Cubs is to bury it and
try to forget. st. Louis was the only
club from hereabouts to make de-
cent showing on the trip, though
the other two of the Western quartet
did better than Chicago. St. Louis
won five and lost seven, Pittsburgh
won five and lost ten. The Cubs got
four out of thirteen.
Of the So intersectional games in
the National League, the East got "a
and the West 10, each Eastern team
winning a majority of its games.
Philadelphia repulsed all the West,
winning II and losing three. Brook
Ign won nine and lost four, cement
ing itself in second place, and New
York won seven and lost six. Even
the once-despised Boston Braves ex-
celled the West, coping seven games
out of dozen. None of the Western
teams have anything to brag about,
Tinker, all things considered, really
making the best showing.
Mordecai Brown held Philadelphia
to five hits in seven innings, but one

Reds to seven hits. Suggs pitched
the last inning for Cincy.
Despite threats of rain, the Federal
League got under way yesterday be-
fore crowd of 1000 people at De
Paul field. Chicago lost to Pittsburgh,
but the brand of ball provided was
good and is deserving of support. One
pleasing feature was the speed with
which the umpires ran off the game.
The usual opening presentations
when popular players stepped to the
plate delayed matters somewhat, but
everything was crowded into two
hours. This Federal League is some
thing on the order of the neighbor-
hood theater. The majority of the
local players have played on semi
pro teams around town and are
known personally to the fans. It
makes for good feeling all around.
Kading and Paynter formerly pas
timed for the Typo team, and Herb
Brenton, manager of that aggrega-
ton, horned into the hmelight by
stepping to the plate and giving Kad-
ing a travelling bag and Paynter
military set.
Ashenfelter pitched strongly for
Filipinos and gave the locals only
one chance to score Timmersman
went all right for five innings, but
blew. The short right field fence
made two-baggers frequent, and
bleachers in the same field made it
impossible for a fielder to get near

moved today.
