more shutouts this season than most
pitchers have victories.
Umpire Klein sprung a new one for
calling time in a baseball game for "un-
natural darkness" He called the game

it made it almost impossible to see the
ball and stated that if the rain held up
within half an hour play would be re
sumed
The umpires are having the hardest
season OF their careers in the American
league, as there are seven clubs that are
pulling for that flag and every decision
looks like $4,000 to the players.
According to members OF the Tigers,
Pres. Navin has promised each player
$50 suit of clothes the day that the club
passes Boston and takes first place in the
American league this season. This is the
time of year that nobby folks lay in
their new fall scenery and the boys are
holding off on all purchases of this sort.
They expect TO have their orders within
the next few days, however. with a pro
viso that the orders be sent to Pres. Ma
win.
Walter johnson seems TO be rounding
into form. as he held the New York team
to two hits in Tuesdays game, shutting
them out by score OF to 0.

Jenkins of the Griffin club in the Ala
bama Georgia league when the national

claim.

THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST
u. S. bureau of fisheries is being
laughed at for a little bulletin calling
attention to the cheapness and pa
latableness Of "dogfsh," known in
the canned state as 'grayish."
If all Of US would turn our tastes
away from edibles that merely look
nice and bear lovely names and take
to palmer and more nutritious foods,
the high cost Of living would speedily
have to hunt its hole, without any
prosecuting, bOycotting or legisla-
ton. -
White bread is prettier than black
bread or corn bread, but not half so
nutritious. American canned sar-
dimes and other deicacies- are fresher
and purer than the imported, but we
pay extra for the foreign label. The
dogfsh and the "mud-puppy'' Of the
Great Lakes are/ugly, nearly as ugly
as the devil fish," and the native
stomach has been taught to gag on
what the native eye rejecteth. Yet
all these, and others like them, are
chaste feeders compared to the
chicken, duck or swine, and when we
meet them disguised by a French
hotel chef and wearing the name pate
du epigomme, or file de fish, we pay,
fancy prices for them and leave the
table feeling full Of luxury and men
tally all swelled up over our refine
ment.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-WHEAT-Whea de-
veloped weakness today in the absence of
any evidence of fresh export business. Be
sides large receipts which were piled up
during the double holiday, had tendency
to discourage holders. Crop damage re-
ports from the southwest acted as only
an offset in part After opening So zc
lower to 1s@Ac advance with May at
SITES to $12SL and July at S1.21A to
S1.211a, the market underwent a material
sag all around and then scored a moderate
rally.
Later the export outlook was said to
have somewhat improved. Bulls got a little
encouragement also from the fact that the
United States visible supply increase was
only one-sixth that of a year ago. The
close unsettled &c to 5s@%c net lower
with May at $12TSs and July at 1.203. 8
CORN-Heavy arrivals pulled down the
value of corn. Sellers were scarce. Open
ing prices, which ranged from a shade

tional decline.
Export sales and buliish Argentine crop
condition led afterward to a slight upturn

While the Ffremen Hunted a Hydrant
That Was Not Frozen.

The combination of an incorrect adj

about $500 by fire yesterday. The
house was occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
L. B. Graham and Mr. and Mrs. James
l.. Jillson. The fire started from a

When the alarm reached fire depart
ment headquarters the address was
given as 1921 Van Buren, street and
the equipment went to that number
Finding no fire the run was made to
the same number on North Van Buren,.
Even then the loss could have been
held much lower had hydrant water
been available. The firemen found the
three MIGRANTS within the two blocks
frozen. They couldn't get water i'm
mediately and meantime the fire was
raging. The water was finally secured
two blocks away from the fire.
