UnO Easily Wins Race
 In Straight Heats

Cleveland, Aug. 9-Uno, the favor ite, easily won the Leader 2:09 pace, the feature of yesterdays Grand Cir cult programme, at North Randall. Uno outclassed his field and won in straight heats. Hattie the Great was the only one which did not participate in some part of the money.
 Peter, Elliott had little trouble in annexing the Champion Stallion Stake for three-year-old pacers. In the first heat he was the only one to stay on the pace, the other two breaking badly and finishing far behind In the second the winner withstood the challenge of Direct the Work and won by a short margin,
 Although Mabel Trask equalled the seasons record by winning the first heat of the free for all trot in 2:01 34, she was unable to repeat in the next two miles and succumbed to St. Frisco. Miss Bertha Dillon set the pace in the opening heat, leading into the stretch, where she broke. In the other two heats St. Frisco led all the way.
 Another upset came in the 2:o6 pace. The favorite, Directum J., won the first heat by a scant margin, but thereafter he was never a contender, Lee Grand winning the next two and the race.
 The second favorite of the day to win went over when David Guy took the 2:19 trot in straight heats.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 9.---There was a sensational ending last night to the sale here of thoroughbred yearlings bred in France by Mrs. H. B. Duryea when Switch, a chestnut colt by Sweeper out of zuna, was knocked down to the bid of Mrs W. M. Jeff fords of Philadelphia for S15,60O, the largest price paid at auction for a thoroughbred yearling since Yankee brought $20,O0O in 1900.
 Previous to this offering the year lings bred by Clarence H. Mackay and T. M. Murphy had been disposed of for ordinary prices, but when the handsome son of the winner of the 2.000 guineas was led into the ring the scene changed, and all was excite ment. Bids came from many qua-- ters of the ring. until Joseph E. Wi6- ener retired. Then Dr. McCully, said to be acting for P. A. Clark, and M. U. Daily, representing Mrs. Jeffords, engaged in a duel which ended in fa- vor of Mrs. Jeffords.

44,OOO,OOO POUNDS OF PRUNES WANTED
 FOR U. s. SOLDIERS

Portland, Ore, Aug. 9-At a gath ering here of prune growers of Oregon and Washington it was ex- plained that the great importance of the prune crop at present was its de- mand by the government for military purposes. It was estimated that at least 22,O00,000 pounds of the Cali fornia fruit was used for this purpose last year, and 1t is expected that more than twice that amount will be con- stunned by the soldiers and sailors this year.
 The division of coordination of purchasing of the National Food Ad- ministration office at Washington will handle the purchasing of the quantity needed for the military and naval service and also for the Y. M. c. A. and Red Cross.
 It was the opinion of prune grow CTS present that this years prune crop would be enormous. In spite of the present lengthy drought and the scarcity of labor. It was estimated that the total crop under present conditions would be about 10000, ,000 pounds. This could easily be in-t creased to 6O,OOO,Oo0 pounds if the drought should suddenly end and if labor were plentiful. The crop last year was only 23,0OO,OO0 pounds.
 A committee was appointed to go into all the details of prune produc- tion and submit a schedule of prices to the growers, who, after they have accepted them, will submit them to the Food Administration for ratifica- ton.
 At the same time a meeting of prune packers was called for the pur- pose of considering problems and regulations affecting their industry and to discuss the schedule of prices which the growers were to submit to them. The Food Administration has laid down the rule also to the packers that their profit should not exceed five per cent.

BROOKLYN CLUB
 TO SUSPEND
Ebbets to Turn Field Into a Storage Warehouse
 Closes on Aug. IA.

The Brooklyn Baseball Club is pre- pairing to suspend baseball for the duration of the war Charles H. Ebs' bets, president and chief owner of the Robins, announced yesterday that when the last game of the present. home series was played on Aug. 14 he would turn Ebbets Field into stor- age warehouse, and that no more games would be played on the FIat-9 bush amphitheatre until peace ruled in the land again.
 This decision may have a far~ reaching effect on baseball. In case the other clubs on the circuit should decide to attempt to play next season it may mean that the Brooklyn fran chise would be forfeited, for MT. Eb- bets made no conditional statement. He said in his own concise way that the Brooklyn club was out of the fight for the durationtof the war.
 The big grand stand will be parti- toned off and f1reproof compartments will be erected. It is estimated that room will be made for more than 100000 cases of materials. Should business warrant it, the seats in the
  ditional storing space made.
 However, the plan does not stop with the rebuilding of the stand, Long concrete structures will be erected along the Bedford avenue front and the Montgomery and Sullivan streets fronts. Hundreds of thousands of square feet will be added to the stor- ing capacity of the plant by the build ing of these sheds.
 Nothing will be lacking according to MT. Ebbets, to make the plant one of the most thoroughly equipped in the land. Few changes will be neces- sary. There is a steam-heating plant already installed. There is nothing lacking in office facilities. The Brook lyn Club has a suite of offices in the first story of the stands, while the rooms now used as dressing quartersi for the team can be turned into an office also.
 Federal League Park, in Brooklyn, not nearly as large as Hbbets Field, is in use as a storage plant. Other ball clubs may turn their parks over to the government to be used as storage houses. It has been said in various quarters llldl lll6 OWuSTS O4 lu0 4NCN York National League Club are con- templating a similar move. When the buildings planned are erected in the outf1eld of Ebbets Field all possibility of playing ball on the grounds will cease. In order to Justify the expense incidental to the building, the structures will have to be spac- ious. They will encroach so on the playing ground as to render a major league contest, were one to be att l tempted, almost impossible. Although the National League sea- son will not end until Sept. 1, the Robins are scheduled to take the road, on the third Western trip of the sea- son on Aug. IA. It was agreed that such a venture would be ruinous, be- cause of conditions. Since the game was placed in the non-essential class the public has shown comparatively little interest in the game. The crowds have dwindled to a corporals guard and visiting clubs are not making ex- pense money.
