no CHAMP. GAME
NEXT SATURDAY
Grant Town Team Cannot
Play On That
Day.

RumorS have been circulating to
the effect that the county baseball
championship will be decided at the
South Side baseball park Saturday az
ternoon at which time a game be-
tween Grant Town and the Consolida-
ton Coal Company nine has been
announced. Any information to this
effect is wrong in that Grant Town
has never agreed to play the game on
Saturday and would be unable to do
so because OF the responsible posi-
tions that several members Of the
team hold who could not be excused
for Saturday game. This has been
explained to Manager McAteer Of the
Consolidation team.
II the game deciding the county
championship is to be played 1t must
be played on Sunday as this is about
the only time that the Grant players
will be able to play, Manager KRIS
elmer OF Grant Town has written a
letter to Manager McAteer Of the
Consolidation team pleading the stu
alton, although expressing a desire
to play the game.
The Consolidation Coal Company
baseball team were booked to play the
Pittsburgh Steel company nine at
South Side Park on Saturday after
noon but the game has been Cancelled
by the Pittsburgh team.

training, preseason coaching and a
number Of other things should be
employed this year by the colleges,
The end sought was to eliminate un'
necessary waste, to take away some
OF the emphasis that has been placed
on the training Of the few "super'ath'
letes" in the past and to give the
young men more time to think Of
their preparation for the war.
West Virginia together with Pitt
W. G. ]. and some others OF the most
formidable teams she meets, will be
practically compelled to go ahead
with her plans for the training camp,
which however, will be cut down to
ten days works instead OF three
weeks as in former years. The
camp is absolutely necessary because
OF the fact that it is no more logical
to send a football team into hard
game without training than it is to
send an unframed army into a crucial
battle. West Virginia plays Pitts
burgh here just ten days after the
opening OF school and has less i'm
portant game week earlier even than
that.
The question Of eliminating train
ing table has not been entirely settled
but it seems certain that no table Will

Scientific farming has scored anoth'

The World tells OF the yield of whea:
and corn on farm near MartinsDurS
where scientific methods of farming
we're employed. The farm is said to
belong to the Houck Brothers, near
Flaggs Crossing, and the wheat yield
is reported at thirty.five bushels 70
the acre. The big yield was on bottom
lan6s while uplands on the same farm
produced twenty-five bushels to the
acre. A big corn yield is also prom
ised from the farm. On the lowlands
the fodder is sixteen feet high, and
the big ears during the recent storms
helped to pull much Of it over, which
may lesson the yield somewhat. The
seed planted was Of special large va
vrlety Of yellow corn and also the old
White Cap" which latter produces
good crops on some soils.

A PREMIUM ON TIN CANS

Fresh Vegetables in Chicago.

CHICAGO. April 21-Vhe anomaly
of grocers selling fresh vegetables at
retail considerably below prices quoted
for the canned counterparts OF the
same products were presehted in the
market today 9nd many dealers were
predicting that a few days would see
lowering of prices and halt in the
scramble to hoard certain staple food
stuffs which has prevailed recently
among householders.
The arrival within the last few DAYS
of the vanguard of the spring influx
of vegetables has brought about this
condition, and according to Sol Wes-
terfield, vicepresdent Of the Retail
Crocers association. there is every IN
dication that a downward price trend
will extend over the entire line Of
vegetables and fruits.
"Hoarders of these products proh-
ably will find their very recent p,lr-
chases were anything but bargains"
