CUBS WITHOUT
HEAD OR CAMP
JOE TlNkER's SHOES NOT VET
FILLED; NO DECISION AS
TO MINORS.

New York. Dec 14-National league
experts feel more and more certain
that Fred Mitchell will be the man Sc
lected to lead the Chicago Cubs next
year, but so far, no one has been
signed to fill Joe Tinker's shoes.
Charles Weeghman gave out Wednes-
day night that he had made an ap-
pointment for today with President
Haughton of Boston to talk over
deal for Mitchell. 1t is expected that
they will come to terms soon.
No attention was paid in the meet
ing of the National league club own
ers to the demands Of the minor
leagues. The National league seems
to be passing the buck to the Ameri-
can Circuit, which is also confronted
by the same demands in the hope
that some action will be taken there.
Several trades and sales were talked
over but none were closed.

MICHIGAN MUST
CHANGE CONTROL

Urbana, ILL.,. Dec. 14.-Only a polite
interest over the probability Of Michi.
gan returning to the Big Nine confer.
ence is being shown here by Univers
sity of Illinois students. Athletics
authorities stated that they would be-
glad to see the Wolverines back in the
conference, but added that certain
changes would have to be made in the
mana cement of athletics at Michigan.
Michigan would have to adopt the fac-
ulty control of sports and the train
ing table would have to be abolished
before other Big Nine faculty direct
ors would vote for their return.

Grain Review

Chicago, Dec. a. Bearish feeling
took a new grip today on the wheat
market. Traders appeared to be largely
influenced by reports that the American
ambassador at London had been in
structed to ascertain the attitude of the
British government toward an appeal
by the president to enter into peace ne
gotiations with Germany. Much atten-
ton was given to other reports that the
German submarines were sinking
more than ten British or neutral ships
day and that food problems in Great
Britain was growing correspondence
serious. Opening prices, which ranged
from &c lower to Nc advance with May
at 1857 to 1853 and July at 1.43& to1.44
We're followed by moderate declines all
around, and then something Of rally.
Subsequently prices dropped lower
than before, pulled down by weakness
in the stock market and by the absence
Of any urgent export demand. The close
was unsettled, Y to 11ac net lower,
with May at s1.66A to $1.66ts and July
at $1.42h to $1.42ts
Addition Of another eastern railway
line to the number affected by grain
embargoes was an element against the
bulls. The close was nervous, sc lower
to &c advance, as compared with yes
terday's finish.
Corn sagged with wheat but showed
greater power to rally. The scantiness of
country offerings was bullish factor.
After opening unchanged to * lower.
the market rose to well above yester-
days latest figures.
Oats paralleled the action Of corn.
Little or no independence was evident.
Steadiness ruled in provisions. de-
mand was of scattered sort, and there
was not much pressure to SELL

according to an announcement today
by the school athletic board. 1t was
said no baseball would be played here
