SO far the Indians have not met a
strong opponent. In West Virginia,
though, no doubt exists that they will
face one of the best elevens in the east
Therefore, if the Redskins come
through victorious. or with a defeat
by very close score, everybody will
accept them as having brought about
a return of the era in which they met

Maryland State is due to buck into
the real thing when 1t goes to Annapo-
lis Saturday to face the Middies. While
they lost to West Virginia, the Sailors
in reality outplayed that eleven. and any
team that outplays West Virginia must
be some team. Therefore. there will
have to be real work done at College
Park this week If the State aggrega-
ton is to make a creditable showing.
Delaware College presented a more
finished team than Maryland State in
and it was the greater potential
strength of the Maryianders which
gave them the victory. Three weeks
from today State would beat the same
eleven by 40 or 80 points. Mistakes in
generalship, very mediocre play by the
line on the offense and failure of the
backs to pick off men were glarfng mis-
takes in the play of the Maryland
eleven which must be rectified before
it can hope to accomplish much against
the teams 1t is to meet in the future.

(By Review Leased Wlre). GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Officially con- firmed crop damage in Texas, Oklaho- ma and parts of Kansas hoisted the corn market today, but was partly off, set later by a renewal of peace talk. The close was unsettled at ss to IS cents net advance with September at l60% and December at 114ss to 114A. Wheat made a steep rise of 13 to 19 cents. but the amount of business was insignificant. Prices finished steady at the topmost point of the day 226 July and 206 September. Oats gained asto IS and provisions fell back five cents to 27 cents up.
 Bearish effects which peace gossip brought about in the corn market in the final fifteen minutes of trading were based chiefly on a Munich report that the German chancellor would de- clare before the reichstag tomorrow for a policy of no annexation. Regard less of peace rumors corn for immedi- ate delivery went to a new high price record, No. yellow at $2.04 bushel.
 Announcement from Washington that the winter wheat harvest was ten days to two weeks behind the aver age time and that spring wheat from Montana westward was suffering greatly for moisture. seemed to be a source of much uneasiness on the part of scattered shorts.
 Oats were governed by the action of corn.
 Provisions lacked support. The main reason was a decline in hog quotations.
