SUGAR PRICES TO SOAR, BELIEF

Sugar prices higher than they have
been in so years, is the prediction OF
the sugar experts.
Next fall and winter, it is stated,
probably will see sugar sold in meag-
er rations at almost prohibitive cost.
With no government regulations IN
force to control speculation, there is
practically no hope in the sugar out
look, according to those who know
conditions intimately.
mo one can tell just how high prlc-
es will be next winter" says E. w.
Mayo, one of the editors of "Facts
About Sugar"
Right now sugar is not quite as
high as it should have been. Raw
sugar is at II cents as against l212
cents a month ago or SO. Refined
sugar is Is cents a pound at the re-
finery and should reach consumers at
IL or Is cents.
"The reason for the slight reduc-
lions is that the Cuban raw sugar
crop is arriving on the market, but
by May this supply will end.
"From that time on there will be
constantly decreasing supply. The
real shortage, and consequent infia-
tion of prices, will begin, probably,
in September or October"
Between the consumer and the pros
pect of terrific sugar prices there is
no visible relief. The general pro-
hibitions against extortionate prices
contained in the Lever act give little
hope because Atty. Gen. Palmer has
not shown himself able to use that
act to protect the public from pro-
fiteering in other foodstuffs.
1t is charged that in favoring Lou
isiana planters and permitting them
to re-coup their losses at the expense
of the public Palmer paved the way
for a general rise in the price OF SUI
gar.

For The Governor

TO The Editor:
In regard to Gov. Philips address,
as printed in the Capitol Times. He
must be a stranger in this country
He contends there has been no pro-
fiteering and claims thy are class
by themselves and have nothing to
do with the present situation.
1t seems that in Washington, when
Senator La Toilette wanted the
profiteers to pay just share of the
war expenses, he was howled down
by that same gang and the expense
was put over onto the Laboring Man
and the Farmers.
He also tells the people the espion-
age act, or gag law" and other OBJ
jectional Legislation will be wiped out.
Why pass such legislation Was it
to protect the profiteers and British
propaganda or the Constitution of
the United States? The Governor
admits the constitutional rights have
been abused and promises they will
be restored providing we elect the
right men to represent the people
which we thought we had done in
1916.
In Marathon City he spoke to Ger
American farmers. also would
advise him to go to Outagamie coun-
ty, where the people had experience
with all kinds of outlawry during the
war, and tell them how to vote and
who to vote for.
No, Governor, the German-Ameri-
cans and Americans of all nationalit-
les, / think, will vote for men who
can and will stand by the Constitution
of the United States in war or in
peace, regardless of promises and
fourteen thesis.
Soft soap and promises won't work
the second time.

Victory Over Cardinals Gives
Brooklyns Undisputed Lead
Grimes Holds ST. Louis
Sluggers to 4 Hits and
Gains Decision by 6 to l

The Dodgers have fully recovered
from the shock of losing three out of
four to the champion Reds. At Ebbets
Field yesterday your Uncle Robbie's
co-workers gave further evidence that
their slump was only temporary
affair by defeating the st. Louis Cardi
nails again by a score Of 6 ITO /.
1t was a notable victory in many re-
spects. First of all, it extended the
Brooklyn winning streak to two
straight and broke the tie for first
place, as Pat Moran's Cincinnatlacs
lost thriller to the Giants. Secondly,
it padded Burleigh Grimes's already
we'll stocked record with another win,
giving him the undisputed lead among
the National League pitchers with
count of sixteen and six.
Grimes has supplanted Leon Cadore
as Robbie's box nominee for the Sab,
bath games in Flatbush AS matter
of fact Burleigh has really supplanted
most of the Brooklyn pitching selec-
tions on other days also. However,
Burleigh can withstand the burden for
he is a husky lad, and, besides, is
among the best spitball servers in the
big leagues.
Hornsby Goes Hitless
Grimes pitched to form yesterday,
holding the clouting Cards to four hits,
two of which were clustered in the sew
enth inning and netted the only run
for the tobogganing visitors from far
away Missouri. Rogers Hornsby, the
priceless iniielder and National League
batting leader, failed to get a hit
The defeat dropped the Cards to sew
enth place, and marked the sixth
straight for them since coming East
last week, they having lost all four
games to the Giants before proceed
ing to Brooklyn to be thoroughly dry
Cleaned.
Burly Burleigh was not called upon
to do some hitting as a side line yes
easy afternoon, as the other members
of the Dodgers were in hitting mood
and banged out an even dozen safeties
off the combined pitching efforts of
Fsrdie schpnp and young Mike Kircher,
Schupp Sent to Showers
Schupp is one of the oldest pitchers
in the National League, while Kircher
is among the Youngest. Both are south
paws, and while the leaders hit Schupp
frequently they could do little with
the offerings of Kircher, who reported
to Branch Hickey only last week, COM
ing up from the Richmond club, of the
Virginia League. The kid will do.
Ferdie was among those present for
six innings, during which the Dodgers
carved his curves for eight hits and
five runs. He gave way to pinch
puncher in the seventh, and the sub
stitute batter, by the way, made one
of .the few hits off Grimes, and paved
the path .s.or the only ST. Louis run.
New-York tribune., 1920-08-02

made a fine stop but overthrow first,
letting Memo 60 to second Edward
Collins lifted one to left, and Meusel
misjudeed it. The ball bounded into the
steerage for a double and Leibold
scored. With Weaver out Jackson was
passed purposey, to the great disgust
Of the customers. Felsch scratched a
twisting hit past Ward and Edward
Collins came in with the other run.
Coming up again in the sixth, with
two out, Ruth drew a base on balls
and Meuscl bounced a single off the
sensitive shins of Mr.. Edward Collins
This brought up Ping Bodie, the Won
derful Wop. Ping sighted on the right
field bleachers, but was just a few
yards short of tieing the score and
riveting crown of glory to the peak
of his bean.
Miller Higgins had himself chased
seventh. Ward got a scratchy hit TO
short and Ruel got a base on balls.
Duffy Lewis was released from his Ore
gon boot to pinch hit for Shawkey.
Connolly called him out when he
seemed to swing at the third one, and
Huggins protested with such vehemence
that he protested his way right into the
clubhouse. With this start Murderers'
Row did not seem able to spill any
gore.
March Right Back Again
The chief assassins of Murderprs' Row
marched up in the eighth and marched
right back again. Risbcrg threw ont
Pratt, Ruth was stopped by Edward
Collins and Lank Bob Meuscl hoisted
himself out to short center. and the
multitude started the maneuver for the
exits.
Ping Bodie, the Wonderful Wop, was
so dazed by the sight of the bat girl
near the Yank dugout that he struck
out in the ninth. Ward got base on
balls and moved to second On Ruel's
out. Gleich went in to bat for Mog-
lidgc and struck out. 1t was decid-
edly off day for the assassins.

Kircher then came on and held the
pacemakers to two hits in their re-
naming two innings.
The Cardinals became menacing as
early as the second inning, when they
filled the bases with one out, but
Grimes quellsd the rally without dam
age. Errors by Olson and Grimes
placed McHenry and Heathcote on the
bases and McCarty's pass filled the
bases after Johnston had thrown out
Lavan. Grimes then famed Schupp
and threw out Smith.
In their half of the second the Dodg-
ers iced the game by scoring two runs
after two batters had been put out. And
it was the priceless Hornsby who opened
the road to defeat for his team. His
tumble put Konetchy on first. Kilduff
followed with a single to right, Honey
reaching third and scoring on Heath
cote's wild throw to Stock. The latter
recovered the ball and tossed wide of
the plate. permitting Kilduff to take
third, whence he scored on Miller's
The Dodgers added three more in
the fifth, and again they started the
parade across the plate after two were
out. Lavan souashed Miller, but
Grimes walked and was forced by Oh

ond and Olson third on wild pitch by
Schupp. Neis was hit by pitched
ball, and the bases were filled Wheat's
