WHEAT s2.2o, CHICAGO.
Northwest Price Not Settled, But
Mighty Effort to Secure
$500. Portland. Be
Milled at Home.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-The
price Of No. / northern spring
wheat was fixed at $2.20 a bushel
at Chicago fer the 1917 crop To-
day by the wheat price-fixing
commission which is headed
by ii. A. Garfield, whose findings,
reached after three days delibera-
tiOn, were submitted to and ap-
proved by President Wilson.
Labor representatives on the
committee voted first for $l.84
md the farmer for $3.50. After
long discussions a compromise at
1920 was approved unanimously.
Portland. Aug. 3I.-Best grades
Of wheat in the northwest grain
districts viii sell at 81 80 a bush
el and in Portland at 81, with 9th
er grades slightly less. Flour at
wholesale viii be around $40 a
larrel, as against a present price
If SLIGO, bran, which is now $37
a ton, and shorts, which is $40 a
ton, are likely TO sell at $25 Ind
S30 With feed cheaper, milk,
butter, eggs and poltry viii be
correspondingly lower.
These conclusions were an
bounced today by Max II. Houser,
federal grain representative for
he northwest, and I. B. Wilcox,
federal milling commissioner, af-
Ter they had received official nofi
fication that the government price
fixing committee had made a ba-
sic price for wheat at Chicago Of
s2.20 a bushel. The difference be-
tween the Chicago wheat price
and that in the northwest repre-
sents the freight charges from
northwest points to Chicago,
which is 30 cents a bushel.
Dealers throughout the North
west consider the local wheat
price very much up IN the air,
since extensive efforts are being
made to show the government that
Portland should have price
equal that Of Chicago; and there
seems a fair prospect of this adj
iusiment being made before the
Ieattor is officially settled.

Crowd Of 10000 on

Defeated on Cub Field

Chicago. June Irregular weather.
q classy ball game. and a Cub victory

1917 season at Weeghman Park yes

on the field, saw the risky Cubs win

Boland was batted severely in the

MORAN MEETS
MORRIS in N. Y.
ARENA TONIGHT.

New York, June What will be
the most important heavyweight bout
staged in this city during the present
season, at least for the principals, will
be held this evening at the Harlem
S. c., where Carl Morris, the Sapulpa
(Okla-) heavyweight, and Frank Nor
an, Pittsburgh's blond boxer, will
rlash for ten rounds. A victory, il
scored convincingly and decisively by
either. will entail the possibility of
consideration from Jess Willard for a
championship match. ST..
The two pugilists are among the
foremost in the heavyweight ranks, If
for no other reason than their formi-
dable bulk. Neither possesses any
real skill in the way OF scientific, box
ing, and both are Of the free style,
slugging variety, eager to get in a
heavy blow no matter what the has
ard. They are reported in excellent
condition after long training Morris
expects to enter the ring Weighing
about 224 pounds, and Moran win
probably weigh about 200 pounds.
Billy (Kid) Mcfarland, who was
the arbiter in the recent champion
ship bout. between Benny Leonard
and Freddie Welsh, will officiate this
evening.

FEW CHANGES IN
Big LEAGUE RACES
DURING PAST WEEK

New York, June From Sunday to
Sunday the National league race
among the three clubs which for the
moment are first place contenders-
New York. Philadelphia and Chicago
underwent some variations, but
closed with just the same distance, in
points, between first and third places
as on the first Sunday. A weeks play
ing, not altogether satisfactory be-
cause of idle days due to rain, wound
up with the Cubs exactly the same
number of points-62-away from
first place as at the start, but with a
difference in the leading club. The
Giants, winning five times in success
sion, including two scraps with the
Phillies, wrenched the lead away from
the Quakers.
The Giants are hanging to first
place with a tenacity which encour-
ages the belief that they have settled
down to a steadier gait than marked
their last home stay. Losing the lead
won't matter much at this stage and
is not unlikely with the Phillies SO
close up. but the Giants won't fall far
behind with the playing they have
done since week ago Saturday. 1t is
worthy of note that their recent sue.
cesses have been accomplished at the
expense of the three other first di.
vision teams. the Cubs, the Phillies
and the Cardinals. If the Brooklyns
or the Braves don't force their way
into the first circle before, midsum-
mer we shall be surprised.
For the present the National league
tussle is closer than the American.
The latter's race heightened out last
week until it was a two club affair
between the Red Sox and the White
Sox. The Red Sox were getting
formidable lead, and their stride be.
gan to take on the symptoms of a
runaway. They seemed to outclass
their company. But with the arrival
East of the Western teams a whole
some shrinkage in their lead was
forced on the Red Sox. The Cleve-
lands stopped them twice and the
White Sox closed in.
The Yankees have lost ground
lately. They faltered last week and
are rather poor third just now. One
Sunday found them SO points below
first place, the following one 124
points. Yet this race probably will
tighten. The Yankees can go faster
: than they have done, and though the
Red Sox are the most likely pennant
tainly do not appear to have the re-
serve strength in the box to keep up
the relative rate of speed at which
they have moved thus far. Yet, be-
ing so well balanced and such steady
and seasoned campaigners, no other
team has as good prospect.

NO FOOTBALL AT
YALE THIS SEASON
is LATEST WORD.

New Haven, June Although eff
forts are being made at Yale to revive
athletics at the opening of the fall
term, indications are that no organic
ed intercollegiate sport will be possible
this fall. In the case Of football sched-
ule notice has been given that games
cannot be played in case of the con-
tinuance of the war. y
While the need of athletics is felt,
the difficulties of staging definite in
tercollegiate sports are felt to be too
great to be overcome. Members of
the athletic council, which has execu-
tive control of athletics detailed to-
day some of the obstacles to carrying
out formal programAof sports next
fall or the following spring.
These include, first, the departure
from college of more than two-thirds
of the regular athletes, including the
undergraduates who have won their
"Y''; second, the fact that the hours
usually devoted to athletics are now
given over to military training, from
8 to p. M; third, that fear is felt
that the public will not take kindly
to sports between athletes who have
had little time to train; fourth. be-
cause Of continued uncertainty re-
garding the international situation
and the possibility that, even if a fall
schedule were arranged. it might be
summarily interrupted.
From the present Yale senior class
practically every athlete has already
gone to the war. All of the major
sport captains for 1917 and 1918 are
enrolled in a military unit of some
kind and if football and baseball are
to be played next year new captains
must be chosen, as Captains Art Gates
Of the eleven and Ray Shell of the
nine are already in khaki uniforms.
Half of the members of the class of
10 and of '1S have already enlisted
for military service. Yale has al
ready sent 500 students into its coun-
try's service, and more than 1000 will
be enrolled before the close of the
summer vacation.
Yale, Harvard and Princeton are
not only considering the situation to-
gether, but all three feel about the
same way regarding the outlook. They
believe that difficulties which are ap-
parently too great to be surmounted
will prevent a football season next
fall resembling those of the past.
At the same time they greatly de-
sire a revival of sports on some basis.
AT Yale a, feeble attempt was made to
start athletics on either the basis of
rival departments or classes, but it
fell fiat. Intermural athletics, seem
to have no future here.
