WHEAT SHORTAGE
IN ENGLAND
Government Control of Prices Has Re
duced Acreage of Crop - More
Barley and More Beer.

LONDON, Sept. 18.-With bread sell
ing at 25 cents loaf and soon to bt
raised to 80 and later perhaps to 80 cents
England is harvesting this season the
smallest wheat crop since the early days
Of the war. Production of barley, on the
other hand, viii show a material increase
over that of the last few years.
The reasons for this state of affairs, ac
eording to Professor James Long, a
well-known agricultural expert are gov
eminent control and beer. The price OF
wheat and oats is regulated, but no re
strictions have been placed on that OF
barley As the market price of barley is
exceptionally high, farmers planted that
groin instead of wheat and oats.
Professor Long shows that since 1915
wheat has been reduced by $4,000 acres
or more than one-third of the present
arca while oats, also an important bread
stuff, has fallen off by $4,000 acres.
"On the basis of wheat" he says, 'this
means loss of bread grain equal to some
3S 100000 bushels, or sufficient to feed
100000 persons. 1t is a curious com.
mentary on the fact mat tie barley
crop has considerably increased, and that
in consequence beer has so far occupied
the position of bread
The country has fewer cattle than in
any year since 1908 and 5.330.0 900 less
sheep than the AVERAGE of the 10 years
from 1904 to 1913. The increase in cat
tie since last year is more than 100000

SPORTING
CLEVELAND ONE
FULL GAME AHEAD
Brooklyn Virtually Clinches Pennant
in National League Race-Amer1-
can League Race Hot.

Cleveland increased its lead in the
American league pennant race to one
full game yesterday by defeating
Washington, while Chicago was win
ming the second game of the series
from New York Brooklyn maintained
its six game lead in the National league
race by defeating Cincinnati, the
world 3 champions, slipping to third
place as result of the New York
Giants victory over Pittsburgh.
Although Cleveland has a lead of IL
points in the American league, the first
three clubs are so closely punched as
regards games won and lost that one
day. results has little effect upon the
chances of any one Of the three win
ming the pennant. Cleveland had its
slump and then followed a string of
defeats for Chicago, but the Yankees
lost Just enough games during the
slumps for. the other two contenders
to keep the race close. AT present it
is q mathematical impOssibility to hg-
ure out a certain winner.
The situation in the National league,
however, is different and although
Brooklyn has not yet clinched the pen
nant it will take almost a superhuman
effort to nose out the Superbas. The
latter have 10 more games to play, and
if they win seven it would be impos-
sible for New York or Cincinnati to
tie them if the Giants and Reds won
all their remaining games, Il and IL,
respectively.
