The Markets
CORN DROPS AT
GOOD WEATHER
Excellent Conditions for Planting
Result in Further Decline
in Market Quotes.

Chicago, May IA - Excellent
weather for planting tended today
to force the corn market sharply
down-grade. Developments in the
European diplomatic field were also
given a bearish construction by
many traders. Besides, gossip was
current that measures would soon
be taken to permit a renewal OF
before-the-war methods of dealing
in wheat Opening prices, which
ranged from 11ac to 42sc lower
with July $1.60 to $162 and Sep
TENDER $1.53h to s1.55. were fol-
lowed by slight additional setbacks
and then by moderate rally.
Lowest price of the day came aft
er a statement issued by the ma
tional wheat director that immed-
late reduction in the price of wheat
was believed to be assured. The
market closed unsettled at 11zc to
81 net decline with July $162 to
$162A and September S1.54B to
$155
In the later dealings on the pro-
vision market no important rally
took place.
Oats were off with corn. After
opening &c to 1bc; down with
July 64Ac to 64Ac, the marker
sagged a little further, then re-
covered somewhat.
Provisions declined with grain
and hogs. Selling however, was
not aggressive.

Boss Gleason gave Charley Rob-

game. but the horseshoes weren't
running for him. The Browns bat

to score two runs in the first two

REGATTA RACES
BEING PLANNED
Annual Power Boat Event on Mis-
sissippi River Course at Camp
BELLS Island July 4.
MOTOR CRAFT MEN NOTIFIED
Fastest Speedsters of Country Are
Scheduled to Compete for
Valley Meet Cups.

Motor boatmen of this city have
received announcement of the big
annual regatta and race meet of
the Mississippi Valley Power Boat
association July 4, and 6, on the
Campbell's island race course, Mo-
line.
Besides the usual high speed
events for the big champions which
is expected to include the fastest
boats in the country, a feature of
this years meet is to be a big
home coming" for the boatmen
from all over the midGle west.
During the war large numbers of
the boatmen entered the military
and naval service, and the mem
berships of the many boat clubs
were sadly depleted as a result.
Most of the war veterans are now
back home, and many entertain
ment features of the Moline re-
gatta will be planned in their
honor. The committee in charge
is planning to encourage general
cruising of boatmen along the Mis-
sissippi, Illinois and other tribu-
pressed that the cruise feature
will be the same sort of big sue
cess as in the days before the war.
There are facilities for camping
on CampDell's island, which is one
of the most historic AID beauti-
full spots in the west.
Moline Launch Club Sponsor.
The races will be run under the
auspices of the Mississippi Valley
Power Boat association by the Mo-
line Launch club. one of the asso-
cations affiliated organizations, of
which Maurice Bockaert is secre-
tary Harry Cooley OF Davenport,
Iowa, chairman of the M. V. P. B.
A. race committee, will shortly an
nounce the complete program of
events, which this year will in
clude classes for displacement
boats or the runabout type.

Americans Cheated Out of Most Important Games - Other Timely News of Base ball Players and Teams.

old Man Pluvius Is working havoc on the Eastern League schedule, but particularly with the rush of the Americans.
 That the rainy weather is causing the local management no end of worry is @ fact that is readily admit ted. The weather has prevented the Americans from playing some of the most important games of the season.
 But there is hope of let-n, for the weather man promises a nttIe sunshine for the coming week.
 Eastern League magnateS, as a whole, however. are well satisfied with the reception their efforts have received. While Providence fans still refuse to come out for the games, the fact remains that here and in the other Connecticut cities baseball this year is decidedly successful finan- ctally. In Springfiel and Pittsfield the games are drawing encouraging crowds, but in Worcester it is an en- tirely different case, for the fans re- fuse to respond appreriatively to the efforts of the hard-workng Boosters.

MOORE'S TACTICS
 DEFEATED HIM

London, July 21.-Jimmy Wilde is still the idol of Great Britain, although only his desperate gamenesS and Pal MoOrc's fouling gave him the decision over the Memphis lad at the Olympia Stadium Thursday.
 Moore outpointed the British fly weight champion. but repeatedly hit him with his open gloves. Referee Corri cautioned him in the tenth. This lost him the victory. The verdict went to Wilde on points. In the last five rounds Wilde was bleeding at the mouth and nose but he hung on and forced the fight, though Moore land ed freely.
 Moore's best rounds were the six teenth and seventeenth when he wal loped Wilde all over the ring. Wilde came back in the twentieth round, showing a burst of speed and taking the offensive. Wilde missed frequent
 ly in the last ten rounds and left the ring nearly exhausted. Moore was fairly fresh- The American tried desperately to-
 ward the end of the bout to knock out his agile opponent, but Wilde evaded him.
 Seventeen thousand persons saw the fight.
 Newspaper experts agreed today that Wilde experienced the fight of his life last night. There was no dis position to blame Moore for fouling. 'I thought I had won," said Moore today, q got in more blows than | Wilde"
 We accept the decision, but think Moore did enough to win,'' said | his manager, Nate Lewis. "I thought I won all the way,'' Wilde declared.
