away running track constructed in
this country. a cinder stretch fitted
for the flying feet Of a Meredith. a
Redpath or a Shea, will be thrown
open at the new Great Lakes athletic
field for the national "A. A. U. track
championships on September 20, 81
and 20. The games will be staged
under the auspices Of the Chicago
Athletic association.
The straight-away is under The
course of expert construction by sailor
labor. Broad enough for six runners
with plenty Of elbow room, protected
from the wind and scientifically laid
out as to eliminate all ruts or soft
spots so damaging to records, the
course is ideal for the 440
Frank Shea of the University of
Pittsburg will go after the worlds
mark of ~ fiat on this track. Only
once before in athletic history Of the
past 10 years did a runner have con-
ditions so, favorable to chopping
Maxey Longs time. That was at the
Panama exposition on the coast when
Meredith tried and failed.
In addition to the 440-yard path
the Great Lakes stadium is equipped
with a regular four lap to the mile
track for distance events. The track
resembles Francis Field in st. Louis
where the national A. A. U. cham

Worlds Market NeUS|
WEEKLY GRAIN & PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Aug. breaking
heat and temporary drought this
week have made the corn market
jump. Auspicious war news, how
ever, operated as a mitigating dnfiu-
ence. Prices this morning, compared
with a week ago, were 1 7-8 to s $50
up. Oats showed gains Of Ia to &c,
and provisions a setback varying
from &c to $1.30.
Fear of widespread and sever crop
damage brought about excited rushes
to buy corn, and at first all other
price making factors were, Temperate
ly ignored. Later, however, notwith-
standing continued torrid weather tho
trade showed considerable disposition
to await the government crop report
and not to risk e~xaggerating the
prospective curtailment of yield.
Nevertheless the fact that big reduce
lions in the government estimates
were inevitable kept the market
buoyant until after rains had become
general and the hot wave had reach
ed an end. Then the increasingly
suspicious nature of war develop
ments helped further to ease the
market.
Eagerness to buy oats sprang from
the furry about corn damage. The
trade assumed that growers might
hold oats owing to losses to the other
cereal.
Nearness Of the government maxi
mum limit had a bearish influence on
provisions which were further de-
pressed by the trade commission re-
port advising enlarged federal con-
troll,
