NEW YEAR BEGINS WELL
Strong Advance in Cattle, Hogs and

Stock Yards-Moderate Shipments
In All Lines Tend to Strengthen the
Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 81
1917 Cattle receipts today were 49,
900 head, market strong, following
big advance last week, sales today
up 81 to s1.5O as compared with last
Monday. Hog supply today was 5000,
market % to 10 cents higher, top
lambs S16.50.
The Lamar register., 1918-01-02

The market in this department is
better than last week and had the ap-
pearance of holding up well. Feeders
sold at 5000 this morning, plain
feeders around SO, stock cattle 81 to
$3.50. OF course buyers at this time
get the advantage of reduced weights
incident to the natural shrink in the
last month or six weeks of winter
weather.
The Lamar register., 1918-01-02
Hogs

Prices were strong to 10 higher to-
day, the main advance being on the
lower edge of prices, light weights and
mixed hogs. Best heavy hogs sold at
1880, best medium weights $16.S5.
best lights S16.7O, bulk of sales S16.50
to S16.S5, pigs up to $3.50. Packers
take advantage of any temporary con-
dition to put prices down, but con-
sumptive demand is such that strong
competition imm- diately comes to the
surface after any depression, and
brings prices up again. Aside from
occasional breaks, the hog market
looks safe.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 3.-Thc American
League baseball schedule will be played
out until September without any re-
adjustment and a worlds series staged,
starting September or 4, it was de-
cded at to-day's special meeting of
American League club owners. Every
club was represented.
Early indications were that the Amer
lean League owners would vote to close
the season between August II and 90.
But the attitude of Barney Dreyfuss,
president of the Pittsburgh National
League club and representative of the
National League on the National Com
mission. changed this aspect. Drey-
fuss, while clothed with authority to
act for the league, had ironclad instruc-
tions that his league would not be q

party to an earlier closing than Sep
TENDER 9. He was also instructed to
make no agreement for worlds series
to begin before that date.
President Johnson addressed the
magnates, saying that his intcrpreta-
ton of Secretary of War Bakers rul-
ing on the work or fight" order was
that baseball should close down before
September /. After some discussion
the owners agreed to put the situation
to test by agreeing to close the sea
son Labor Day and then start world
series September a, if permitted by the
government.
After the meeting Mr.. Johnson would
make no comment on the decision of
the magnates other than to say that he
still believes Secretary Bakers ruling
is specific enough to cover the case.
There will be no changes in the
schedule because of the curtailed sea-
son.

The Giants had awakened from their
slump behind the fine pitching of
Causey in the f1rst battle of the day,
and triumphed by the score of 4 to 9.
There was still hope that the "Clf
Dwellers," with the aid Of the Dodgers,
whom the Cubs face on Tuesday, might
overcome the advantage held by their
rivals, but this faint hope was dispelled
when Polonious Perritt was driven
from the mound in the second inning
Of the last game.
The Cubs had made three runs off
Polonious in the first frame. That was
bad enough, but the next stanza, which
resulted in six counters, was so much
worse that John B. instructed his min
ions to drop the banners to halfmast
The final score of the tragedy was II
to 6.
Causey Wins Seventh Straight
Cecil Algernon Causey reigned SUI
preme in the first affair after the Cubs
had nicked him for two runs in the

tallies the Cubs made, whereas the
Giants went their opponents two better.
1t was the seventh victory in row for
Cecil Algernon, and the 10000 fans
present were unanimous in their lament
that "Red" was not able to pitch every
day.
The Cubs were just as vicious at the
beginning Of the curtain raiser as they
had been in the closing inning of Fri
days game. After Flack flied to Comp

ball to right centre for home run. Mann

and the Cubs were able to secure only
three more hits.
The Giants made one run in the sec
cnd. which Larry Doyle opened with
a single to right. Zimmerman worked

by Young, delivering the goods. The
Giants made their last tally in the

The story of the second game can be
restricted to the first two innings, the
Cubs being the leading characters. In
the very first frame these coming pen

Y ankees Lose
After Getting
FMe-Run Lead

ST. LOUIS, Aug 3-The Yankees
showed the white feather here to-day,
when after gaining lead OF five runs
on the Browns in the first two innings
they went to pieces and lost the YER
dict by a score of to 5. The Higgins
men made only five errors, which is a
fair enough number for big league
team, and these miSplays counted heav-
lily in the runs scored by the Browns.
Ray Heating cssayed to do the Twill
ing for the Yanks. He was so wild that
he was removed from the box in the
middle CT the third inning. A five-run
life. Ray appeared to be trying his
best or worst to get back into the
bush leagues, providing such exists
next year.
The Yanks permitted their old foe
Sothoron to dispose Of two of them
in the first inning before they began
to hammer the ball. Pratt singled to
right, Baker hit safely to the same
field, Pratt going to third. The double
steal was worked successfully when
Austin made a poor throw to the plate,
wild pitch for his third strike and
Baker scored, Ray going all the way
to second Fournier flied to Demmitt,
ending the frame.
In the second the Yanks collected
three additional runs. With one man
out, Walters singled to right. Heating
was safe at first when Sisler dropped
Sothoron's toss. Gilhooley sacrificed,
and then Demmitt mulfed Lamar's fly,
Walters and Heating scoring and
Lamar going to second. Pratt doubled
to left, counting Lamar.
The Browns almost wiped out the
1oo Il La1L l.
the third, when four runs filtered over
the rubber Fourier set the stage by
dropping Keating's throw of Tobin's
grounder. Maisel walked and Sislcr
singled to centre, scoring Tobin and
putting Maisel on third. Dcmmitt
popped to Fourier. but Pratt booted
Smiths roller and Maisel Tailed.
Sisler and Smith worked a double
steal. and when Heating walked Aus
tin Sisler was forced over the plate.
Heating was removed at this point,
Love going into the box. Slim passed
Nunamaker and Smith waltzed home.
Sothoron obligingly famed.
The Browns won the game in the
fourth, when they made two more runs.
Tobin walked as a starter, and went
to third on MaisePs single to left. Sis
Ter hit safely, tallying Tobin. Robin
son replaced Love on the mound for
the Yanks and Demmitt flied to Gil
hooley, Maisel scoring after the catch.
The Browns added another run to their
total in the sixth, and still another in
the eighth, but they were not needed.
