Chicago, March 3.-Wheat-When
seaboard exporters showed renewed in
terest In wheat there was less press
ure from local bears and the market
advanced steadily from the early low,
which was a shade higher than last
nights closing. Export sales Of 10000
bushels combined with buhish crop
news to help tho advance. Export
business was made up of both Mani
TOBIAS and hard winter wheat. The po-
litical situation was regarded as some
what improved.
Corn-Corn was helped by the
strength in wheat and bullish Argen-
tine news. The freight situation is
still ON track waiting to be unloaded
into elevators. The eastern shipping
demand is slow and VIII be further in
terfered with ny the refusal of west
ern railroads to permit the transfer Of
any cars to eastern lines. Prospect is
for tighter receipts.
Oats-Oa1S recovered from An early
decline, largely because other grains
were firm. Heavy selling of the May
delivery was credited TO seaboard &C
count, altho export sales the last few
days are estimated at about 1000. 900.

.Ine Wood,

Boston. Feb. 29.-Joe Wood, the
smoke-ball king of the Boston Red
SOX, believes the final kink has left
his arm and that he will be ready to
pick up in 1916 where he left off in
1912.
Wood, fine, clean type of the earn
est athlete, is one Of the great pitchers
CT the game. You failed to hear as
much about him last season as OF
many others, and yet with an arm
that was only slowly getting into
shape he worked in % games and was
the most effective pitcher in his cir
cult, allowing fewer earned runs to
start than even that nonpareil from
Weiser, Idaho, and Washington, d. c.,
Walter Johnson.
Wood has been training intelligent
ly all winter. He is starting his ninth
season in the American league, and
yet today is only 26 years old. If he
can iron away that one kink in the
old whip, he should be good for an
other 10 years. ..
If Wood is at his best, and he re-
mains with Boston, the Red Sox staff
should be the greatest that baseball
ever knew-greater than the Cuff staff
Of 1906; the Mackian staff that includ-
ed Bender, Coombs and Plank at their
best.

Philadelphia, Feb. 29.-Johnny
OLeary of Seattle, Wash, who claims
the lightweight championship of Can
ada and who sent Solly Burns of
Los Angeles over the Sunderland
route Saturday night, in statement
yesterday declared he is after match
with Champion Freddie Welsh and
that his manager will start negotia-

OIeary also explained his Texas
Tommy punch, which is the talk OF
pugilistic circles here.
1t is a new one in the east and with
it OLeary expects to climb on the
lightweight throne. Here is the dope
on how the westerner used the Texas
Tommy" on Solly Burns:
Tommy rushed into clinch and as
he pulled away, whirled his opponent
around. For an instant Burns back
was turned and when he got back into
his original position OLeary slammed
him with a hook. Burns went down
for the count of nine twice and the
third time he stayed down for keeps

TINKER SECURES
ROOKIE CATCHER
Joe States That Cubs Stable is Now
Complete With the Possible
Exception of Packard.

Chicago. Feb. 25.-Preparedness is
the watchword of Joe Tinker, and for
the first time since he assumed charge
of major league ball club he is sat
isfied. From now on he will devote his
contract and no effort will be made to
grab new athletes, something unusual
in Joe's managerial life He thinks the
players now on the Cub roster can be
organized into a flag winner
The signing of another catcher, a
youngster by the name of Harvey
Russell, completed Tinkers 1916
plans. and while there is only small
chance for this maskman to stick af-
ter the training jaunt. Tinker, with his
cry Of preparedness" purchased Rus
sell because he has - pitchers under
contract and he wants to give each
man an opportunity of getting plenty
of work and chance to show every
thing he has in stock.
russell was procured from Balti-
! more and was recommended by Mike
Doolan, who played with him in the
Federal league last season. This in
creased the North Side backstop-
ping squad department to four. with
Archer first catcher and Fischer first
assistant. Then comes Glenn Clemens
and il remains for PuSSeII tn beaf
Clemens to the third catching Job.
The Cub manager, after announcing
| the acquisition Of Russell, was in a
joyful mood. For the first time since
he graduated into the boss class he
asserts he is not scouting around for
new material, and that Gene Packard
was the only player needed to make
the Cub team flag hunter from the
start

BIRDS UNDISTURBED
ALONG FIGHT FRONT

Paris. - Correspondence of The
Associated Press. Bird life alone
the battle front appears to have been
little disturbed by the continual thun-
derlng of guns. Birds disappeared
from the war zone after the battle of
the Marine, and some naturalists at
trlbuted their migration to the din of
war. They came back again, however,
and little by little accustomed them
selves to the noise of explosives and
even find an advantage in being close
to the conflict where there is ample
nourishment around the soldiers
quarters. Doves and wild pigeons are
the most abundant, while there are
many cuckoos, thrushes. crows, mag
pies and jays Starlngs are very COM
mon, nesting in trees as close so they
md them in the trenches Monsieur
Louis Rousseau, well known orni
biologist, has discovered that the war
has changed the character OF these
BIRDS and made them thrifty. He has
found their nests in the boles of dead
oaks, with provision of bread
crumbs stored away prudently under
meath. Doves fly about between the
Two lines, paying no attention to the
bursting shrapnel; and none of them
appear to be afraid of either aero
planes, observation balions, or diri-
gibles.
Buzzards are everywhere along the
front, and they seem to find partic-
ular amusement in circling around the
observation balloons
Monsieur Rousseau finds game very
abundant in the section of the front
where he is, due partly to the sup
preston OF shooting since the war
began, but mostly, he thinks, to the
Invasion which drove game ahead of
1t toward the Marine. Deer and stays
are very numerous, in spite of a great
deal Of poaching on the part of peas
ants. On the other hand, rabbits ara
very rare. Wild boarS are seen in
places they were never know TO fire..
