Ivan Olson CabOve. hft) and Bob Groom.

At the present rate of things base
ball managers are putting more hopes
in the revived form of their veteran
stars than in. the discovery of bril-
liant youngsters. Ivan Olson of the
Brooklyn dodgers and Bob Groom
of the st. Louis Browns have stepped
along in more youthful manner this
season than most any of the games
newer stars.
Just now Olson is the one bright
spot among the Dodgers fading pen
nant winpors. At the start Of the
season it seemed that young Fab
rique would replace Olson and that
Ivan would spend most of the seas
on on the bench. When Fabrique
began to weaken and to fail at bat
Olson was given another chance in
the lineup and the performing he
has done since has been a thing of
beauty.
Olson has taken on new life at bat
and is hitting above 300 for the first
time in his big league career. If he
continues to fatten his average as
he promises to do at present he may
grab the National league batting
crown and his many friends would
be only too happy to see him do so.
The veteran Bob Groom of the st.
Louis Browns has been winning
games with a. class of pitching that
is astonishing in one of his baseball
years. Groom has hung up couple
of records already this season and so
far as is known he is now planning
to make several more. 1t is rare that
pitcher has one of his greatest
seasons when so far along in his

STEAMER BREAKS UP
Norwegian Vessel Ashore on New

(Rv Associated Press.N

st. Johns, N. F.. July 1.-THE Nor
wegian- line steamship
Kristianiafjord, which went aground
near Cape Race in fog Sunday, was
pounding heavily in the surf yester-
day and it was feared that she would
become a total loss. All her forward
holds were filled with water. The
Kristianiafjord, a ship of 10000 tons,
was bound from New York for a
Norwegian port with passengers and
freight. She had touched Halifax
where she was examined by the Brit
ish authorities.
The passengers, all of whom were
landed in safety without much ex-
element or disorder, arrived here
yesterday. Arrangements have been
made by the Newfoundland govern
ment for taking care of the entire
party until the coming of another
steamer.

SHORT COVERINGS
SEND PRICES UP

Chicago, July 17.-Wheat: There
has been little trade in wheat but
there was some short covering early
which lifted prices a little, but later
sold Off The Canadian news is bull
ish and Washington reports indicate
less certainty of there being drastic
government control.
Corn: There was a rush to buy corn
early while offerings were small but
later pressure increased and the tone
of the market became easier, part of
the advance being lost. Weather con-
ditions generally are favorable. Cash
prices are well maintained and there
is no weakness in the cash situation.
However, the buying demand has been
curtailed somewhat and sentiment is
less bullish. Price swings promise to
be liberal and If values are depressed
we look for good support on the dips.
oats: Selling today was the heavi-
est in a long time and of fairly con-
certed kind. The market running into
stop loss selling which carried prices
down sharply. The cash demand was
fair but the m1rket is affected by the
prospects for the new crop. New oats
offerings will soon be a big factor in
the market
Provisions: Offerings were moder-
ate today and not much change in
price was noted. The shipping demand
is quiet and the market at present
does not offer mulch inducement for
buyers. Chas. E. Lewis q Co.

National Championship
Meet Given Up Before 4
Majority Heard From

On second thought most of the
governing bodies of the country have
decided that they acted rather hast
lily in abandoning various national
championship meets. In the case of
the Amateur Athletic union the matt
ter was put to a small vote before
any decision was announced, and the
returns showed an overwhelming
vote in favor of staging the track
and field games under the same con-
ditions prevailing in normal times. 14
The annual championship meet 1
will therefore, be held as usual, but
some uncertainty still exists regard-
ing the date and place for the games.
They were originally set for st. :
Louis on Aug. 81, Sept. and s. ST.
Louis athletic officials, however. are
not positive at this time that the
meet can be properly staged there.
and should this prove to be the case
the championship games will be
awarded to some other athletic ceny
ter. New York, Chicago and Philadel-
phia are all understood to be willing
to assume the task Of holding the
meet in case st. Louis decides 70
forego the contests. a@H
\ 1t may also be necessary to. change
the dates for the games should it be
found that they will conflict with the
arrangements for the assembling Of
the army. AS originally set, the junior 1
and senior meets would have fallen 4
on the Friday and Saturday preced42'
| ing Labor day, with the finals on the
holiday with a Sunday for rest in
tervening. ~
If 1t should develop that the gov-g
ernmept will begin assembling the
new army on Sept. l, as has been
unofflcially stated, the dates of the .
games will be moved forward a week,
bringing the contests on Aug. % and
Is. This will be necessary in view OF
the fact that a number of prominent
athletes will enter the service with !
the first call. thus losing all cfance )
of competing If the meet were to be
held after the date set for assembly 4
at camp.
The championship committee alsoey
has decided that the regular A. "A. u.
die medals shall be awarded to first.
second and third men to win places
in both the track and field events as
in previous years. 1t was the general
opinion that since the games were to +
be held the regular Championship
trophies should be awarded instead Of 6
the certificates planned in connec-0
tion with the suggested patriotic
meet. sn

youngsters who came up this season
and who really have made good
could just about be counted on the
fingers of one hand.
If four men were to be picked for
each position they probably would be
Chase, McInnis, Sisler and Pipp for
first base; Collins, Herzog, Barry and
Wambsganss for second; Groh,
Baker, Zimmerman and Gardner for
third; Fletcher, Peckinpaugh, Scott
and Meanwhile for short, and Cobb,
Speaker, Burns and Jackson for the
loutfielders. Men such as Roush and
Hornsby might break in somewhere,
but the majority of stars still are
players who are veterans in expert
ence.
Infielder Stuffy Stewart, who was
under Manager Higgins wing for a
couple of years and was tried both
as inflelder and outfielder, has been
released by the St. Louis Cardinals
to Denver, where he will play second
base. Stewart is fast but could not
hit in the big show.
Before leaving for the east, Man
ager Mitchell of the Cubs told Presi-
dent Weeghman he could ask waivers
on Catcher Jimmy Arcner ana E1Lcn-
er Tom Seaton, ais he had no further
use for them. Their places are taken
by Pitcher Nick Carter and Catcher
Pickles Dilhoefer.
Catcher Hank Gowdy has rejoined
the Braves. Upon reporting to Co
lumbus he found that the army unit
with which he had enlisted would not
be called into service for a month or
more, so decided to keep on playing
ball until he got his orders from
Uncle Sam.

Graw. Swigler entered Penn in 1914
and went through his freshman year
without losing a game for his class
team. Last year he was bothered with
sore shoulder and did not pitch
much; but this season he was PENIS
big card in its games and lost only
one game, that being to Holv Cross.
