PROSPECTS
MUCH BRIGHTER

Chicago, July STRENGTHENING
crop reports from the big corn-pro-
ducing states, such as Kansas, Iowa
and Nebraska, gave a decisive down
ward swing today to the corn mar
ket here. Prices finished easy, 1-2@
Q 1-2c net lower. Wheat declined
6@6t1-2c and closed steady. Oats
lost 5-8@3-4c to 2 8-4c, and provis-
ions % @30c.
Word of the breaking up Of a two
months drought in Kansas acted as a
starter for aggressive general selling Of
corn. The bearish effect a soon
greatly increased by CHEEKY advices
from Iowa and Nebraska. where the
crop outlook was now fully normal
for this time Of the year. Renewal
Of peace gossip from Washington
counted, too. against the bulls.
Expected enlargement OF receipts of
wheat did a good deal to send values
of that cereal down grade. Difficui-
ties hindering the progress Of food
legislation also seemed to act some
what as a weight IN the market. Oats
broke sharply under selling.
Rapid spread of harvest was report
ed, and generally good yields where
t%hreshing had begun. Weakness Of
grain and c%ottonseed oil pulled down
provisions. 9

YALE CANCELS
FOOTBALL GAMES
Full Effect Of Lottery on A
A. Clubs Has Not Yet
Been Ascertained.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 25.-Yale's
football schedule for this fall has
been cancelled. The usual list Of
games were arranged last January,
and there has been some delay in
writing to Yale's rivals and asking,
in view Of the war situation, whether
the games cannot be given up.
Yale has not yet received formal
response from either Harvard or
Princeton to its proposal that fresh
men games be played this fall. Yale
plans to arrange. a light schedule for
the 1921 eleven, and would be glad
to close it with games against Harv-
ard and Princeton.
Prof. Robert .Corwin, chairman of
the Yale board of athletic control, has
just returned from Boston, where he
met Dean Briggs, who holds the SINH
lar position at Harvard. The athletic
situation was discussed exclusively.
the idea of a freshman game with
Yale, but Harvard's official action on
the matter, like that Of Yale, prob
ably will depend on the military stu

Der.
1t is taken for granted among Yale
undergraduates that western colleges
will vote at the Washington confer
ence of August 2 to continue collegi-
ate athletics this fall. This will not

TORPEDO MAY
BE in PROGRAM
Demonstration Of Shooting
Big Missiles from Airplane
is Planned for Regatta.

Minneapolis. Mimi, July 25-Unless
present plans fail Minneapolis will
witness the actual shooting of tor
pedoes during the American Power
boat associations regatta on the Mis-
sissippi river in August. A delegate
left Minneapolis today to visit Wash
ington and New York in an effort to
get the paraphernalia necessary for
shooting terpedoes from airplanes.
This will be supplied by the Aero
Club Of America, it is almost certain,
because the net proceeds of the regat-
ia have been promised for the found
ing Of a local aerial unit, which will
become a member Of the Aero club.
If the apparatus is procured, it is
planned to feature each days gold
cup races by the shooting of a tor
pedo from an airplane in flight. The
torpedo will, of course, not be explo-
stve, and will be caught in a net
at the end of its course through the
water. The exhibition will be d.
rectly in front Of the reserved stand
on the riverbank. The firing of a
stand on the riverbank will be done
by e of a torpedo tube similar to
the ones used on submarines and war
ships. These actual demonstrations
of the use Of the Germans most eff
fective war weapon are expected to
add greatly to the drawing power Of
the regatta,

DRAFT WILL
WEAKEN CLUBS
Usual List Of Games Were
Arranged last January, but
May be Dropped.

Minneapolis, July 25.-How badly
the draft will cut in on American as
ISOLATION baseball teams is still pretty
much Of a mystery. The fact hat the
players registered at their home
towns, and have not, in many cases.
ascertained their serial numbers, and
the number of men enrolled in that
particular district, has made it i'm
possible for many of the players to
know whether or not they have been
called for the first army.
Jennings. Burk, Thomas and Saw
yer are believed to be the Millers
drawn, but Jennings will claim ex-
emption because of dependents. Burk
and Thomas have both enlisted for the
second officers camp, Aug. 81. Mas
sey is not sure whether or not he is
drafted.
In st. Paul three players are believ-
ed to be drawn. Indianapolis has had
one player drafted for certain. He is
Jake Northrop n is believed to be
exempt. Pete Stewart, the secretary, is
also drafted. The rest Of the squad Is
uncertain.
Fred Mollwitz, Kansas City's first
baseman, is drafted. He was born in
Germany. Mulligan, shortstop, and
Phelan, third baseman, are also called.
Eight Columbus players are named
in the draft, it is reported. They are
Lefty George, Blackburn, Chappelle,
Erhart, Hasbrook, Gerber, Johns and
McCarty. Whether all are in the first
draft or not Is uncertain.

Umpires Always Wrong;
Players Are Infallible

Milwaukee, Wis, July 25-
Baseball players always give um-
pires the worst of 1t" on close
plays in the opinion of william
Friel, manager of the Milwaukee
club of the American association.
Friel was a player for years, then
a manager and umpire. Since his
experience az an umpire, FIiel
said he because aware Of a few
things he didn't know existed in
the old days.
Its against the rules for a
baseball player to be fair with an
umpire" Friel explained. ga
player doesn't want to know that
an umpire was right; he dosen't
want the public to know it,
either.
"After I became manager Of the
Milwaukee club a friend wrote me
asking If I was going to jump
on the umpire. 1 told him It
would be as tough on men to go
through a ball game without
yelping at the umpire as it would
be for George Cohan to go
through n play without waving
the American flag.
81 am going to take all I can
get on the ball field. 1t puts life
into the game to roar a bit even
though the umpire is absolutely
right"

BRITISH ARMY.
1t Consists Now Of About Five Million
Men In Field or in Training.

IL consists Now of About Five Million
Men in Field or In Training.
(From Washington Post.) (
Great Britain has now in the field
or IN training approximately 5000, 900
soldiers" remarked Lieutenant White,
an English officer, at the Willard.
There are about 100 regiments each
with distinctive name and for the
most part with a distinctive uniform,
These regiments are old institutions
pregnant with tradition, such as the
Royal Scots, the F%usiliers, the Cold
stream guards and the Gordon High
landers. Each regiment has great
numbers Of battalions. You see, the
military unit in England is entirely
different from that in this country.
For instance, a battalion in America
comprises perhaps 400 men and a
regiment at the minimum, say, 1000.
In England 1t Is entirely different. A
battalion has 1000 men and a regi-
ment may consist Of any number Of
battalions. The Fusiliers, for instance.
comprise 38 battalions. In each bat
talion there are o companies Of
$50 men with two captains.
AZ the beginning Of the war the
standing army Of Great Britain did not
exceed 100000 men. Every regiment
been recruited and re-recruited,
and I venture to say that there is not
q regiment In the army that has 100
OF Its men left who went into service
at the beginning.
While the English people several
months ago really believed that it
would be better for the allies If the
United States were to maintain its
neutrality, they have experienced a
change Of mind, and now everybody
is heartily glad that America has
come into the war, believing that 1t
will hasten the end. Nobody In Eng
land has any doubt about the outcome
Of the war blu all realize that 1t is a
must be slow.

FIRST RACE in GRAND
CIRCUIT AT DETROIT

Detroit, July 25.-The 1917 re-
newal of the Board of Commerce
stake. one Of the pacing classics of
the Grand circuit, was one Of the
hardest fought in its history. Six
heats were required before the win
ner's share Of the $4,000 purse was
captured by Ben Ali, driven by c. e.
Pittman. All three heat winners
stepped very fast miles and the first
four heats furnished exciting brushes
at the finish.
The $3.50 trot was easy for The
Woodman. He came from behind in
the first heat and showed the way in
all the others.
Prince Rupert showed a lot of
stretch speed in the 2:12 pace and
won the deciding heat.
Eleven horses and possibly twelve
are carded to start in the $4,000 M.
and M. stake for 2:08 trotters today,
one of the chief vents Of the Grand
circuit season. City police regulations
against any form of betting again
prevented any betting yesterday.

BEST FRIENDS BE BOOKS
,luch Comfort Found in Them for the
Lonely and One in the Evening
of Life.

In passing days Of Jul lives, when
he fires Of passion have been well

10 face with the vicissitudes Of life and
ind out that we have either won or
lost the battle, let our best friends be
books, observes O writer in the Mem
pllis Commercial-Appeal.
We can with them so long
as we please, and when we are tired,
we can shut them up. This is more
than we can do with our friends Of the
human family.
When q a comes home at night
harassed and hacked with the wor-
ries Of life, he wants not. only rest for
the body he wants rest for his soul,
for his heart, for his mind.
The wife who hopes to develop. in
the home a perfect atmosphere Of con
tent, will study her husbands moods.
When he is worried; when his mind is
q bit distraught and he desires mental
rest, he will read. There is u wonder
full amount of consolation in our books.
Sometimes he may yield to light liter
allure. At other times he will place his
thoughts on more sincere and heavy
topics.
Our books are our real friends. II

and see the rest that will spread ovel
his face, that beautiful expression Of
soothed pain. Let anyone who is IL
trouble, and who has no friend, gath
er himself in solitude with a goot
book. There is much consolation II
it. It has that unexplainable soHrc.
Of relief. It IS like the tender toucl
