Y. M. G. A, League
to Keep Right On
MOVEMENT TO START NEW OR.
GANIzATIoN COMES TO
SUDDEN END

Athletic Director Buckley said today
that the Y NJ. c. A. baseball league
will continue and that the report tina.
the league would break up to unite
with the new Independent league is
not true.
1t is the purpose of the Y. NJ. C. A.
to provide sports for the men who
belong to the association and this
purpose is being carried out. 1t Is true
that games have not been played reg
ularly and that all the men have not
been coming out, but the weather and
ground conditions have been such
that this was impossible. AS soon
as things clear up, the league will be
given full attention and the men will
again appear In uniform with the old.
time enthusiasm.
II a new league Is formed it will
have 10 be Independently Of the Y.
NJ. C. A. The regular schedule will
be carried out with games tonight be.
tween the Yankees and Giants.
1t was decided last night to drop
the plan Of forming the new league,
for the reason that the Y. M. C. A.,
which has charge Of South Side park
does not favor the idea OF letting other
teams use 1t.

communicative, for he did not speak
the language fuently. They were both
given ten days in the county jail to

POTATOES ARE
STILL SOARING
NO NEW FooDsruFEs BEING
SHIPPED; OTHER PRICES RE-
MAIN At SAME LEVEL.

] The latest reports are that it is 60
ing to be hard winter for the lovers
Of spuds. The well known Irish pOta.
to. or tuber, as 1t is called In higher
institutions of learning, is going up
1t has made an advance in price dur.
ing the past week and now stands at
twice the price of last year. Accord.
ing to the government estimate there
10 potato shortage Of 100000 bush
els this year, and Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan, the greatest produc-
ers of potatoes. will sell only Is per
cent Of their normal yield. This, coup
led with the railroad car shortage, will
make potatoes scarce articles and
make the prices on them higher. In
the opinion Of local wholesalers, these
prices will not be lowered and they
do not look for the shortage to be les
sened.
There is very little change this week
from last, in the other vegetables.
Onions and cabbages are running at
the same price and the supply so far
is sufficient. Celery. Of which there
is plentiful supply, is the incest this
fall for years. No new food stun has
been sent into the local jobbers this
week. Fruits are maintaining the
same quotations.
