ment tonight by a special committee

said. made the baker charge more for
his product or fail.
when the price OF wheat advanced
fully 50 cents bushel from the nomi-
nal average OF other years, it increased
the cost Of -four from So TO $3.50
barrel" the statement said. This was
due to the shortage of the wheat crop,

Almost every commodity used in the
manufacture OF bakers products has
advanced materially, including -four,

tions are that the price of wheat and

will remain high. The baker must ad-

VILE. Y. YD.-The official Austrian re-
port Of September 26 refers to the
plight OF the Italian soldiers who were
entombed alive at the time the Aus

"'The commander Of the AustrO- Hun

WEEKS review OF
MAJOR LEACUERS
Yankees and PhillieS Keep
Out in Front in Respect
i've Leagues
NATIONAL RACE MAY
BE FREE FOR ALL

Just twelve and one-half per cent
Of the tremendous volume of the pre-
season dope has been verified by the
playing Of the clubs in the two major
leagues to date. Cleveland and Phila-
ielphia. in the American, are running
true to predicted form, in seventh and
eighth places, but even these teams
are showing slight signs of rebellion
The Athletics have pinched a pair Of
games in succession and are showing
more ginger. Iris Speaker has in
lected new vigor into the Cleveland
outfit that presages contest for all op-
position. The In iians turned fourteen
hits into fourteen runs at St. Louis
yesterday-sOme stunt for q club that
won't be in It at all"
The Yankees are leading today. a
game and One-half ahead of the Red
Sox. The Stove League had Boston
out in front nicely. with Detroit sec
ond, Chicago third and New York
fourth. In the weeks play. however
the Yanks scored but eighteen runs,
as against 20 for their opponents. The
Yanks didn't waste any, however. and
won four of the five games. They
made forty-one hits. eight and one
fifth to the game. Boston. in the weeks
play, made ffty-three hits for twenty
one runs. but meeting heavy counter
attack. grabbed but three of its seven
games.
Looks like free-for-all in the Ma
tional. Pat Moran. who grinned with
satisfaction when the Braves were
picked to beat him. is grinning more
than ever with six games won and one
lost, game and one-half ahead Of
not the Braves. but St. Louis.
The amalgamated Whale-Feds. dis
playing some Of the old-style Chicago
baseball. hold third place nicely. Par'
OF Boston's dope. is OF course, affected
by the loss of Sherwood Magee. He
was depended on to win for the clut
every now and then and is out OF II
with an injury that may keep him OF
the bench a month.
Herzog's Cincinnati bunch, tied for
fourth. are doing better than expected
The alibi of the Brooklyn Dodgers is
that they haven't got started yet
Pittsburgh is keeping out Of last place
giving the Giants plenty Of room. kauf
will have TO play like a supermar
pretty soon or the McGrawites will b'
so far back they never will get up IN

made efforts to get their grounds into
condition for play ON Saturday, but all
efforts proved futile, as the heavy rains
of the night before had 30 saturated the
fields that To dry them out was an im-
possibility.
The players Of the league formed a
deeply disappointed hand when the
games were called of. The boys
we're in good shape for the trays.
About 1000 fans gathered az
