element. Twenty fast teams will

Middlewest Tournament Notes
The huge silver bowling trophy
which will be given to the all-event
champion of the tournament has ar
rived and will be seen in the win
dows of the Florsheim Shoe COM
pany on Sixteenth street. 1t is a
beautiful cup, over three feet IN
height. Whoever wins it will win
real prize in addition to the large
cash prize and gold medal which
goes with it. ,
Many outside teams whose names
have not been published have re-
served certain dates on the schedule.
While the entry blank and money
has not been received these reserva-
tons can safely be considered as
real entries. These reservations are
protected until midnight, November
8, at which time they are Cancelled
unless bona fde entry is received.
None ever fail in this, however, the
delay beng mainly caused by such
details as making up lineups and
other.necessary arrangements.
Nine gold medals are now being
made, and will soon be on display.
They are very valuable trophies. and
always priced highly by the win
ners. Every season five medals are
given to the winning team, two to
the winning pair in the doubles.
one to the individual champion, and
one to the all-e9ent champion.
St. Louis bowlers report that they
will have FIVE teams. This is not
enough from the city considered the
Middlewest associations largest
stronghold, and home of the associa-
tons president. They should have
10 teams at least. There is still two
weeks left before the entries close,
however, so there is plenty of time
left for the Mound City rollers to
learn their duty and perform it by
sending in their usual good entry.
Lincoln and Fremont rollers
promise three teams each. This is
nice showing from each Of our
sister cities. just to make it good
they should send in their entries
right away. /

Weekly Financial Review

New York, August 31.-Labor unrest,
the high price agitation, political un-
settlement and the foreign exchange
situation, were again gppermost in last
weeks Irregular and reduced operations
on the stock exchange.
The strike situation, SO far as it re-
lated to the railroads. assumed more
favorable aspects. however, due to the
rigid attitude of the administration in
Pacific states. The conservative policy
of the labor organizations also offered
ground for encouragement
Further slowing down of general
trade resulted chiefly from the uncer-
tainty attending current commodity
costs and additional declines in agri-
cultural exports were traceable to the
satisfactory exchange situation.
Substantial recovery in the London
rate was partly forfeited on announce
ment that the Board of exchange had
suspended interest payment on foreign
deposits and italian exchange weaken
ed to a new low record with concur
rent heaviness in Spanish currency.
Domestic monetary conditions reflect
ed the preparations now making tc
bring autumn crops to market. Cal
loans were virtually "pegged" at 6 pei
cent, though in free supply and time
money ruled at the same figure, with
scant offerings.

ton Law, Making Number
Important Changes
BY Associated Press

Mexico City, August 31.-Important
concessions were made by President

amending the reclamation law. Briefly.
they are as follows:
Claims for damages may be presented,
not only for losses during the recent
two revolutions ending with the in
stallation of the present government
May l, 1917, but for those, sustained
since then in various regions where re-
volts are still smouldering.
Damages by rebels or outlaws to
person or property subject to reclama
ton when such damage is found to be
the result of negligence on the part
of constituted authority.
A commission on naturalization will
admit any means of proof humanity
consider all cases, but the president
has the right to arrange conventions
with any foreign power for a mixed
commission to handle claims of citizens
of that power
Claims by railroad companies and
