Missouri Man Secs Uncle Sam
rs Club Owner.


Columbia, Mo-, July 27.-Professor
Jesse Wrench. teacher of history at the
University Of Missouri, predicts that
the United States would own all the
baseball leagues in the United States
in the next twenty-five years and that
congress would make appropriations
for ball players.
He said he thought the players
would be on q kind Of civil service
basis. The magnates cannot agree, the
players and the managers and the
owners are in a constant sQuabble OF
some sort. The public often objects
that poor administration of the sport
is responsible for many ills. Accord
ing to Professor Wrench. the United
States government ultimately will step
in and buy up the whole business. It
can pay the players a fair salary, give
better service. take out the profit OF
the magnates and reduce the cost OF
baseball to the fan" by running base
ball On a taxation for revenue only
basis.

Although the former course record,

Chick" Evans, In a practice match
Saturday, there were many enthusi-
asts who believed that today's medal
play might shatter even Evans new
mark. The course, although billy and
rather difficult. has been put in good
condition by the recent hot weather
and many scores Of less than Is have
been turned in. On account OF the UNI
usually large list of entries it was not

Chicago, July H.-WHEAT- Although
war tension carried the wheat market to-
day decidedly higher the excitement In
the pit was Tar from being equal to that
OF Saturday. There was . general rush
to buy but 1t was noticeable that the or

numerous than usual were as a rule for
comparatively small amounts. The act

ever. causingn any important reaction In
prices. After opening half to ~ above
Saturday night the market held firm At
around the top figures reached.
Suddenly the market sagged owing to
reports that diplomatic pressure was
making Austria on Servia. The close was
nervous the same as Saturday night to
Y advance.
CORN strengthened with wheat. Hot
dry weather counted also against the
bears. The opening which was &c to

ditional gains.
Prices later eased off when wheat
turned down grade. The close was steady
at the same as Saturday night to H@%
up.
Absence of hedging allowed oats to
rise like the other cereals. Trading
though lacked volume. ~
Shorts in provisions found offerings
meager.' and were forced to bid up the
market. Advancing quotations for hogs
seemed to make sellers wary.
