Fargo, N. D., Nov. Bill Dono-
van, once the star pitcher. of the De-

cate of new rules to prohibit the use
of the splitter, sinner and paratine ball
by big league boxmen.
THE pitchers already have too
great an advantage. the hitters,"
said Donovan recently. They should
not be allowed to rub the ball on thei::
uniforms or thrust their fingers into
their pockets I believe that the
windup should be abolished and that
the pitchers should work without
gloves.
THE umpires should provide all Of
the balls, as it is a common practice
to doctor them before they a-e thrown
into play. By using a small file on a
part of the scam a ball can be made
to break in the most extraordinary
name Wetting the seam is another
trick much in favor. The rule MAX

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

T. Chicago, Nov. Fresh strength
which developed in the corn market
today was ascribed chiefly to q new
upturn in the value of hogs. Big
shipments of packing products were
said to form the principal reaction
for the hog price advance. Further
more, shorts in the December. delivery
of corn fevinced considerable anxiety
as to the outlook for obtaining suffl-
cient supplies in time to fill contracts.
Opening prices, which ranged from
1-8 to 1-2 higher, with December
1.28 3-8 to 1928 5-S and May,1.24 1-S
to 1924 3-8,w re followed by substan-
tial gains in addition.
Oats were firm with r After
opening unchanged to a shade higher,
including December at II 1-4@3S8 to
II 3-8, the market continued to adj
vance.
Higher quotations on hogs put pro-
visions on the upgrade. Trading in
future deliveries, though, was light.
Subsequently gossip that 1t would
take at least six or eight weeks to
bring transportation back to normal
for the movement of corn, ied to in
creased strength in the market. Re-
ports were also current that the long
~shoremen's strike was breaking up
and that Great Britain would spend
in the United States $11S, 900, 900 for
cotton, Grain, etc. Prices closed buoy
ant. 2 1-2 to 3 1-2 net higher. with
December 1.31 IA to 1.31 3!8 and
May 1.26 1-2 to 1925 7-s.
Extreme advances were not held.
Business was confined almost entirely
to the January option.
