ARRIVALS SHOW DECREASE AND

HIGHER PRICES.
STALE SUPPLY PREVENTS
GREATER ADVANCES
Ten Thousand Head Carried Over Un-
sold From ednesday-Market Un-
ferings Lacking in Quality-Supply
of Sheep Ample For Requirements.

Chicago, June 2s.-Arrivals of hogs
today were less numerous than expect
ed, but there were 10000 stale hogs
also on the market. Prices were UNI
settled to 3 cents higher.
Receipts at the eleven principal mar
kets Wednesday totaled $4,000 head, o,
about 5000 less than week ago 4,00>
less than year ago, but 1000 more
than two years ago. Arrivals for the
first three days Of the week at these
points total 100000, being 100000 more
than same days last week, 1l2,000 more
than year ago and $4,000 more than
corresponding two years ago.
Cattle.
Cattle offerings lacked quality.
This receipts Wednesday were large
than expected and included many
prime lots. The demand for prime
stock was good, but because of the big
number on sale buyers were not COM
PEELED to extend themselves. There
were several loads left unsold because
of the Indifferent bidding done by
most buyers
Receipts Of cattle at six other west
ern markets totaled about the same as
a week ago at 10000, stood nearly
5000 larger than two weeks ago and
over 10000 larger than a year ago.
Kansas City with 1900, and st.
Louis, with 900, showed the mos;
noticeable increases, which shows thai
Texas stock is running more freely.
Sheep.
The supply Of sheep seemed ample
for immediate requirements.
Altho a few spring lambs early sold
at $3.50 that price was high and bet
ter ones sold largely at s1s.25. while
$500 late in the day was an excep-
tionally good price. Others sold at
s17.50d17.75 that had to be sorted to
sell within that range. Culls were
largely secured below $500 and few
decent kind made $1,000. shorn lots
sold early were taken at $500 and
down, with much better ones wanted
at. 1925, and sellers asking upward
Of $3.50 for the best. Feeders land
ed at $3.50.

The roads Of northern France were

DANNY MORGAN THINKS
TODAY'S FIGHTERS Al
Battling Levinsky's Manager Claims
Battlers Outrank Old
Timers.

Danny Morgan, who pilots the
hard working Bat Levinsky, believes
that the fighters of today are super
ior TO the fighters of the past Danny
will find many a follower of the
game who will give him an argu-
ment, because many believe that the
present day pugs are tango artists
compared to the rugged battlers of
a few years ago. But here's Danny's
view, in part:
Where do they get this stuff
about present day boxers being in
ferior TO the old-time boys? l can't
see it with a field glass. I think
the class of boxers is getting better
and I believe that the topnotchers
of today are far better than the
champions of other years.
"Of course, I think Bat Levinsky
is the greatest fighter Of his weight
in the world. but I'm not arguing
TO press agent the Battler. Take
Johnny Kilbane, for instance. No
featherweight of the past had any
thing on Kilbane as he stands today.
He is in a class by himself He has
a knockout punch and there isn't a
cleverer boy in the feather class in
the whole world.
Look at Welsh. Gibbons, Leon
ard. Herman and some more of 'em.
They may not have great reputa
ton as knOckerouts, but I think
that is because boxers in general
have perfected the art of self-de-
Tense. The game is better because
of this. You can't compare an all
around offensive and defensive boxer
of this age With the timer. who
did nothing but rush and slug
Drawn and brains are both we'll rep
resented in our modern boys"

public appeal for a continuance of
horse racing. and the announcement
that those great classics. the derby
and the Oaks would be decided at
Newmarket on May 80 and June I
respectively. was welcomed by the
members of the Jockey club. with
out whose encouragement the turf
would be little but a name in the
United States today.
As chairman of the governing
body Of racing in this country, what
August Belmont has to say in con
nection with England's changing
policy has particular force.
The conclusion of the British
authorities that IL is best TO con-
tinue the test Of racing is crafty
ing" said Mr.. Belmont. and the
lesson it conveys should be far
reaching. Ii indicates that sport
does not enter into the matter at
all.
How do I regard the outlook for
the current season here? There
is promise of great sport. especially

would appear TO be stronger than

"PINK TEA TACTICS"

News Times Special Service:
LOUISVILLE. KY, May 21-Fred
Clarke. winner of four National
league pennants. and one worlds
championship with the Pittsburgh
club of the National league, deplor-
ed the pink tea" tactics that have
found their way into baseball
The game, he says, lacks aggres-
siveness; there is too much brother
~ love and fraternizing among the
players. Players on opposing teams
should be friends. he maintains. but
not I'm the ball park. Clarke is in
Kentucky on business and expects
TO remain for sometime
The fight between Ty Cobb and
Herzog in Dallas will do more 70
draw crowds than anything else that
could have happened" Clarke said
OF course. I do not approve Of fist
lighting on the field. as was staged
at Dallas, hut I would like 10 see
more aggressiveness and less Of this
brotherly love stuff"
Clarke believes that golf is vastly
overrated as a means for improving
the hitting Of a ball player.
The golf itself does not hurt a
mans batting. and may improve II.
But T think that a player has all he
can do 20 play baseball for six
months without looking for more
work. That extra exertion spent in
trudging around a golf course is too
much if YOU are playing ball. IF
man should play golf all morning he
would sap up energy that should be
expended az the ball park in the
afternoon
That is why I never played golf
as long as 7 was in baseball Since ]
retired in 1915, however. I have
taken up the game and played a
great deal"
Concernirg the retirement OF Hans
Wagner. the veteran shOrtseop OF the
Pittsburgh club. Clarke said that
Wagner could go back 90 per cent
and still De above the average
playe-.
