OMAHA WHEAT HAS
RANK OF ITS OWN
Stamp of Inspector Powell
Taken by Foreign Countries
and No Questions Asked.
PUTS OMAHA ON GRAIN MAP

If you should happen to be in Lon
don, Liverpool or any other foreign
seaport to which American-growI
wheat is shipped and in looking owe
the waybills of shipments if 20,
found one that had stamped9across it
face, with just an ordinary, rubbe
stamp, the words:
Approved. George B. Powell
chief inspector and weighmaster
Omaha Grain Exchange, Omaha
Neb.," you would not have to go an,
farther to ascertain the quality OF tn,
wheat covered by the waybill ant
certificate. You would know th,
this wheat was OF the highest quality
was grown in Omaha, trade territor,
and that Omaha was the market towr
from whence it came.
Since the first OF the present veal
over 100000 bushels of such wheat
and SO certified has gone to foreign
ports from Omaha. Its value has ex,
ceeded $l2,000,00O, to say nothing Of
the freight and ocean-going charges
Hear Of Omaha.
Prior to the first OF this year grain
grown in Omaha trade territory and
the Omaha Grain exchange had no
standing in the foreign countries. The
facts were that across the big pond
there were lot of the wheat jobbers
and millers that knew nothing about
wheat grown in Omaha trade terri.
tory, looking upon all OF the cereal
as being American, grown. And while
they knew nothing about the wheat,
i possible, they knew less about
Omaha as grain market.
One day Chief Inspector Powell
evolved an idea. 1t was that wheat
grown in Omaha trade territory Is
the best in the world and the only
thing necessary to broaden the scope
OF the Omaha market would be to
spread the news concerning the quail
ity of this wheat. N
Mr.. Powell got busy. He sent SAM
pies of the wheat abroad and explain
ed that all of the wheat coming in
and going out of Omaha was bought
and sold on his inspection. This
looked good to the foreign buyers and
they placed small order. The service
was satisfactory and more orders
were placed, with the result that with
in the last sixty days Omaha has be-
come one of the largest markets In
the country sending out export wheat.
Previously, wheat sold in Omaha
went to Chicago, Baltimore, New Or
leans, or some Of the other big ex-
porting points. There it was graded
and inspected, and with this grading
and inspection went across the
ocean. e,.
Now everything is changed. Agents
for exporters buy their wheat here. 1t
is inspected and certified to by Chief
Inspector Powell and starts for desti-
nation. At destination 1t Is received
on this inspection and certiiication
and no questions ever asked rs to
quality. g.sN 4s IL.
The accomplishment Of Mr. Powell,
it is asserted, has brought about a sort
of revolution in the grain business,
especially that having to d. with
wheat. 1t has placed the Omaha trade
territory wheat ct the top and At the
same time made Mr.. Powell one Of
the most looked up to grain men in
the country. 11

Policeman Hintz, who disappeared
last night shortly after going off

WITH NO WORK
ON FIELD PENN
PLAYS THE NAVY
Red and Blue Baseball
Team Has Not Been on
Diamond This Year
G A NJ E IN ANNAPOLIS

The University of Pennsylvania base
ball team played it's first game of the sea-
son this afternoon against the Navy, at
Annapolis, without having had a single
outdoor practice in preparation. Coach
Roy Thomas declares that never in his
experience as a baseball coach has he
met such unusual conditions. Last year
the men were outdoors the last week in
January, and, with the exception of n
few days, were able to work on the out
door diamond continuously from that time
on. This year, on the contrary, cold, rain
and snow have kept the men within the
gymnasium with the exception of a few
occasions on which they were able to
play catch" on the sidewalks outside the
gymnasium.
But in spite of the trouble the men
have had to practice. Coach Thomas feels
certain that he will have first.class team,
and even looked for victory over the
Navy today, The battery looks TO be par
ticularly good. In Swigler Coach Thomas
thinks he has the pitching sensation Of
the year. This youngster, like most of the
other men picked for the first game, was
a member of the freshman team last year
He is a rlght.hander and has all kinds of
speed and good control. The other two
pitchers who look good are Cross. also
a member of last years freshman team,
and Cromwell. The latter was in the Uni
account of conditions.
Behind the bat the Quakers also have
three unusual men. Gilmore. in par
ticular is rated as good in his position
as Swigler is in his. Hoch, also playing
his first year on the varsity, is second
choice, while Dolan, member of the
varsity squad last year. is very good.
with the exception of Moore at third
base, the entire lnfeld is made up of last
years freshmen. Smith is the selection
for first base, Todd for second base and
Wray for shOrtstop. Howard Berry, who
has been dividing his time between base
ball and track. is picked for centre field,
but he can play in the infield if necessary.
Murdoch and Sullivan are considered the
best of the other outfielders
This years term is strong in all de-
partments and unusually strong just
where last years team was weakest. That
was in the pitchers box. There was not
a dependable pitcher in the lot last year,
II. X. Wallace being the best With a
dependable pitching stan. good catchers
an average field team. Coach Thomas Is
now concerned chiefly as 10 the hitting
ability of his men. II they come up to
his expectations in this particular, he feels
sure that Pennsylvania has an even chance
to win baseball championship

This is largely responsible for the in.

pionship when he had already been listed
as one.year' champion; that is, not good
enough to repeat.
Three Features
After summing things up one might
say, in all truth, that three features ex-
listed in Bob Gardner's game
First would be the great length he
gets from the tee. Next to Jesse Gull
ford, the Hinsdale star is the longest
driver In America, and there are many
who believe that Gardner can drive with
Guilford.
Second would be the great distance
Gardner gets with half-iron shot.
Third would be the bulldog determina-
dtlou Oh tne player, ana the wonderful
courage he can call upon In a hard, close
match.
That Half-Iron
That half-iron of Gardner's is one of
the most amazing things in American
golf. You Will see him facing a shot of
100 or 200 yards You might we'll figure
1t a brassie or a spoon shot, or at the
least a driving iron, Gardner takes out
his midiron. Well, you will say he must
kill the ball to get carry of that
distance with a midiron
Gardner swings, and, very much to
your astonishment the club hardly comes
back halfway. You figure that he might
be shooting for some mark about 1876 or
140 yards down the turf. But just before
the swing is completed those powerful
wrists of his, developed in breaking pole
vaulting records, sweep the club head in
like a streak, and the impossible is ac-
