Grain Review

Chicago. Aug. 2S.-Wheat prices
broke as much as sac bushel today,
chiefly as a result Of the declaration
by war by Rumania. The prospects OF
the general railway strike in the Unit
ed States formed an additional element
in depressing the market but by far the
greater part of the mammoth sales that
were witnessed came about owing to
the assumed chance Of quicker CON
elusion OF the European war. 1t was
also inferred that the entrance of Ru-
mania would favor the opening OF the
Dardanelles and the release Of Russian
wheat to compete with supplies from
America. r >
Renewed weakness followed, country
selling especially widened out and sup
port lessened from shorts who had been
taking profits. The close was excited
owing to word that fighting had al
ready taken place on the Rumantan
frontier. Final prices were sc to INC
net lower. with September at $40 to
s1.40% and December at $1.43A to
$1.44N.
Opening wheat prices, which ranged
from 1c% to Shc lower. were generally
the lowest reached. with September at
$1.44 to SLAB and December at SLASH
to $1.52. Subsequent rallies lifted the
market &c to 3ha from the bottom.
Corn held compare lively steady. Att
err opening Nc to NC lower. the market
underwent a moderate further sag.
Eastern longs did most of the selling
today. The close was wea kat 1Ac to
"a c net decline
Oats were governed by corn. Price
changes were doWnwad but not out OF
ordinary limits.
Provisions averaged lower with grain.

During the present baseball season
the players composing the Bismarck
club and representing this city in this
line of sport established a remark
able record for themselves. The boys
put up wonderful exhibition of the
diamond sport since their appearance
here and COPIED the championship OF
this section of the state after strenu-
GUS efforts on the part Of every men,
Der of the team. Too much credit
cannot be given the boys for their
work of the past two months and
their pictures can we'll be given a
place of prominence on the sport cal
endars, The record of dolly Elder
and his crew of speed demons will go
down in the annals of the sport in
this city and surrounding communi-
ties as one worthy of praise from both
young and old.
The batting averages OF the play
ers have been compiled and are
shown above. During the season the
boys played % games, won 20, lost =
and tied 1. The batting average of
the entire eleven players is 81. This
average and also the individual mark
registered by each cavorter includes
every game played by the local nine
with the exception of the two match
es staged at jamestown with the All
Nation club. These games were play.

ting initial sacker, cops first honors
with his Of hickory. The big boy
played in % games, wandered to the
plate on 66 occasions, secured 26
clean hits and grabs off 1898 as his
batting average. When the hitting
averages of the players in the big
leagues are given the "once over" il
can be readily seen that this is a re
markabe record for any swatter, ir
the big show or with club in the
minor leagues.
Flanagan, who came here after
playing the early part of the season
with the fast Hazelton club, comes
second in the list of heavy hitter!

also a great record and the speedy

Thomas has also registered a great
average and if the classy second sack
er had not hit slump the past two
weeks he would undoubtedly have led
his teammates.
Due to lack of space it is impos-
sible to go down the list and COM
ment on the work of the various play
ers but by looking over the averages
as reproduced here it can easily be
noted that the Capital City has been
represented by team of sluggers par
excellence. 1t is hoped and expected
that it will be possible to secure these
players again next season and every
body will be looking forward to their
return with considerable anticipation.

kOOB NEEDS SLOW
BALL TO BE GREAT
STAR. SANS PI ANk

Ernie Koo5 will be perfect pitch
err the moment he masters a slow
ball, according to Eddie Plank.
The kid southpaw, who hurdled
from the Western State Normal Kali
amazoo, Mich, to win fame with the
st. Louis Browns, already is an es-
tablished star. but he needs further
schooling in the slab craft.
HE has a cross-fire and curve
that snaps sharper than any l have
ever seen," continued Plank. His
control is little bad, but that weak.
ness can be overcome. His slow ball
is good only at times, but when he
gets control of the ball, he'll have
no equal on EARTH
Plank has taken Koob under his
wing and predicts banner year fol
the lad in 1917.
