PNA. koellNER
i6FyS &RtH WITH
d. ! OAKLAND CLUB


Phil Koerncr one of the best and
most popular ball players that ever
wore q Trinidad uniform, former
western league star. has been sold by
the Topeka Western league club To
the Oakland team in the Pacific
Coast leugue. koerner will go to the
coast city to join the team in few
weeks, This news is of interest to
HIS many local admirers. also to the
friends of Mrs. Koerner. who va:
formerly Miss Torino of this city.
Kocrner has played in the West
ern league since 1903. Previous to
that time he played profession
al baseball At Trinidad and other
points in Colorado. He WAS bought
from the Chicago White SoS by the
Des Moines club OF the Western
league in 1909. The following year
lie was sold to the Wichita club Of
the same circuit. He was a member
OF the Wichita club under the lead
ership of Frank lsbell, when the lat
ter transferred the club to Pueblo
and handed the Pueblo supporters a
bunch which will not be forgotten
soon.
Koerner went back to Wichita
with the club and played there until
in July, 1913, yhen he was sold to
the Topeka club and has played
there ever since.
Phil has always been consistent
hitter, and for several years has bat
ted more than 800. Last year he
batted SEQ and was awarded a silver
trophy for leading the club in this
department. He also is rated as one
of the most consistent first basemen
in the Western league. BY being
sold TO the Oakland club he will have
been advanced from class A to class
40, and there is no doubt about his
ability to deliver the goods.

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL KINDS BOXING

lQOmdS Oh CQ6 CuDS QaQ long IdlhS
with several minor league magnates
yesterday just before the small cir
cult fellows hoped on the RATHER for
their annual meeting in San Fran
cisco.
Nothing definite emanated from
these conversations, but the seed of
a few deals we're planted and Roger
believes at least one or two of his
prospects will blossom into some
thing valuable before the West Siders
start south for the 1916 training trip.
He is working on the theory that
there will be no peace declared be-
tween organized baseball and the
Federal league this year.
Roger wants two infielders of
worth and at least one more member
of his outpost trio. He has Mulligan
and Mccarthy for second and short.
Mccarthy has had his chance in the
big leagues but should improve. Null
igan is green, but his short bit of
work on the West Side in the closing
stages of the past season stamped
him as a coming baI1player.
However, should these two fellows |
fail to come up to the standard |
which Roger will demand for 1916
and it will be a much higher STAN |
dard than suficed in 1915-he wants |
to be fortified with young men to put |
into their places. Bresnahan is plan
ming a thorough rebuilding.
Minor magnates were very gloomy
about their prospects for the coming
year, basing their feeling on the rec
ord of the season recently closed. OF
the At minor leagues Of the organi-
cation, more than half were unable
to weather the 1915 season and indi-
cations now are that many of them
will not even attempt to start in 1916.
The minors, in order to exist, need
help from the majors, which cannot
be given during war time They need

STEEL STOCKS STRONG;
TRADE TALK HOPEFUL
Pennsylvania Orders Cause
Optimism - Rise in Rapid
Transit-Call Funds Easy.

The CHIEF topic OF discussion around
from the possibilities Of war. was the
Pennsylvania equipment order and
whether It was to be the forcrunner as
in the past Of a general revival Of orders
from other leading railroads. II this
should prove to be the case steel men say
that there should follow a considerable
boom In business throughout the coun-
try. Estimates in the trade are that
the Pennsylvanla's purchases of rails
and rolling stock alone will involve a
total Of $4,000 gross tons of iron and
steel in the material actually delivered
about one-hfth of the steel ndustry's
capacity for n month. incidentally the
export trade Is now engaging about 10
per cent OF the Country's capacity. The
Pennsylvania almost invariably has
taken the lead both in expansion and
retrenchment, its example being subse-
quently followed by the other big lines,
so that the hope of a general influx of
steel orders Is by no means ephemetaL
especially since for more than year
now the railroads have been practically
out of the equipment market
Cambria Steel came into prominence in
the trading on the exchange today by
reason Of II point jump to 4Sla on light
purchases. Lehigh Navigation was an
other strong spot advancing over IA
point. on the other hand Pennsylvania
Salt was down a dollar and Philadelphia
Traction nearly rs much The other
transit lssues held firm, Rapid advancing
a substantial fraction,
A reason for the Improvement in Rapid
Transit WAS found in the probability Of
delay in starting the citys subway. The
old stock reached at the close. There
were no sales of the trust certificates,
Lehigh Navigation lost most of its gain
in the final dealings.
Baldwin Locomotive shares failed to re-
spond to the placing of part OF the
Pennsylvania contract with that COM
pany. The amount involved is about
S50O,OOO, and covers - freight locomotives

FURTHER DECLINE
IN GRAIN PRICES
Traders Believe Wheat Crop
Will Be Large, Despite Re
cent Damage.

CHICAGO, May 19.-The belief that
there will be big wheat crop despite
the recent damage and the prevailing
high prices were advanced es arguments
against buying of grains In the market,
today and prices declined further, May
declining more than ~ cents to N.528.
while July lost half cent, being quoted
at Sl26h. AS the day wore on these de-
clines were extended somewhat further
and corn also weakened with oats
Further reports show that from 40 to
20 per cent, of the wheat had been killed
after attaining height of about eight
inches, and indications are that where the
best wheat now stands It is beginning to
fall down, being cut through at the Joint
BY fly. About 30 per cent. of this SEEM
ingly good wheat will fall over before
cutting time. Thousands of acres OF this
crop will be abandoned. with the hope OF
partly replacing the loss by the planting
of corn. The crop of corn and oats is
said to be excellent for this time of the
year.
Field work in the Iowa belt is progress
ing rapidly and about 20 per cent OF the
corn is planted
Oats are beginning to show the need
of moisture In the southern counties.
The demand for wheat in England is
quiet due principally to discourage Amer
lean prospects Russia reports that Ship
ments from Archangel are being further
delayed by the Government using that
port for military purposes. 1t is now be-
lieved that actual clearances will be
small
Export sales of American wheat at the
seaboard were 100000 bushels wheat, and
5000 bushels oats
