Crescent Five
Beats Naval Men

The Crescent Athletic Club basket
ball team began its season in auspl-
cious manner by defeating the Naval
Reserve five from Bensonhurst in its
Brooklyn clubhouse last night by
score Of 81 to 49, The victory was
snatched in the second half by great
rally by the half-moon men, who
trailed the sailors at the end OF the
first half by II to 9 points.
During the first half the Crescents
failed to cover their rivals as they
should, and consequently the Naval
Reserve players showed good team
work and goal shooting. However,
with the substitution Of Scully and
Cotton in the second period the Cres-
cent men showed decided brace IN
their playing.
They followed the ball more closely
and kept their opponents away from
their basket. 1t was the great all
round playing of Eddie Butler, Nick
las and Joe Ashmead that turned the
tide in the final period.
Ashmead Gagged four field goals and
Nicklas and Butler three each. Parm,,
lee and Mooney, each OF whom Gagged
one goal from the foul line, accounted
for the only Navy scoring in this half.

The Winning Combination

These two have fitted in perfectly.
they are an ideal four.ball combina-
ton. To begin with, both are long hit
ters' On the longer two-shot holes, on
the hard par 4 holes, both have excel
lent chances to get on in 2. Distance
or lack of distance never holds them
in check. This is one strong feature OF
four-ball play.
In the second place, both are good
putters. Ouimet is a brilliant putter
and Guilford, playing with Ouimet' is
well above the average. Here and there
he might have lapses. but we are talk
ing here of the big average. In these
various matches referred TO Guilford

WHEAT PRICES RESPOND
TO ASSURANCE OF WAR

CHICAGO. April War and a pros

would indicate winter wheat at the
lowest April condition in the history
of the country rushed wheat values in
the last week far above previous top
records. Excitement at times was at a
high pitch, with trade expanding to
immense proportions. Compared with a
week ago advances range from 90. TO
IL cents a bushel. Corn gained 50. to
1o;s. oats. 1Ssa134 to 3A, and provi-
sions, ~ to lis.
Without exception every day wit
messed fresh advances in the price of
wheat as the crisis between Germany
and the United States frightened and as
signs accumulated that the growing
season for the domestic winter wheat
crop was perhaps three weeks or
more behind normal. Buying as a re-
suit of these causes attained irresisti-
BILE force, especially Wednesday, when
the market first jumped above 81 for

the May option shot upward to S2.07.

that the era of big profits for corpora

Railroad Earnings Decreasing.

The weakness in the railroad shares.
which are not reacting after a sharp
advance, but which are sagging stead
lily, are due largely to the severe loss
in earnings.
Forty-one important railroads report
ing for February show a loss of s1,768.-
3S6 in gross earnings as compared, in
nearly every case. with gains in Janu-
ary. The shrinkage is most severe in
New England and western trunk lines.
Twelve western roads show a loss of
3.5 per cent in gross; sixteen southern
lines gained .05 per cent; nine New
England lines lost AZ per cent. and all
lines. forty-one. lost 0.9 per cent.
But the most severe loss was in net
earnings. the percentage, according to
the groupings as arranged above, being
63.1 on western lines: 25.5 per cent on
southern; SO per cent on New England,
and 40.3 per cent on forty-one lines.
These are the factors back of the re-
cent slump in rail values. naturally
aided by the severe decline in indus
