The fans in the stands haven't
warmed up yet. They probably
realize that they haven't much kick
coming when they are provided with
nice comfortable seats. But they will
soon get used to them and get back
to wild, rantankerous roofing and
roasting of the umpire.

A dangerous tendency cropped out
in Thursdays game. 1t seemed to
be the tendency of Drawn to triumph
over brains. There were bone plays
and rank errors, and the sheer brute
force of the batters outwitted the
brains and skill of the pitchers. Brains
and morale are the two essentials in
successful baseball.

Manager DeZonia pulled a bone in
Thursdays game. He took Moses out
of the game when the score was
tremendously in favor of the Retail
ers. 1t was just one of those stages
of the game where everybody was
hitting. But Manager DeZonia had
brain storm and sent Lindamood
to the mound. Anyway the bone
wasn't a bone after all for victory
came to the Retailers in easy fashion.

Chicago, Nov 3-Estinates that the supply or coarse grain is 2S per cent larger than last year with farm animals S per cent less numerous did much today to lower cereal prices. Wheat cloeed nnsetled at 1-2 to S-4 cents net de- cline, corn of 1 S-s to s-4 cents and oats down to 5-s to S-4 cents. In pro- visions. the outcome varied from a set pack Of 50 cents to 10 cents advance.
 Persistent commission house selling developed in wheat and there was no adequate support except some fair buy ing early that was credited to the sea board Bears contended that on the va sis of current estimates the production of feedstuffs had been greatly excessive and that in view of dovnturns for. oth- CT commodities no reason was apparent why wheat should be on a pedestal. Bulls urged on the other hand that this country Is now on a domestic basis re garding wheat, even including the amount which may yet be received from Canada, and that holding by farmers in Okla hcma Kansas and Nebraska was certain to affect values.
 Reported superabundarce of feeding grain led to a sharp break in corn. One authority figured the 1920 yield as 51.- 900. 900 bushel more than the govern mept's total last month Oats synpa- thized with corn.
 Provisions averaged lower, chiefly as result of grain market depression and notwithstanding higher quotations on hogs.

By Peter P. Carney.

T. E. Doremus a former president of inc American Trspshooting Association and now the eastern general manager for the duPont Export Company, has been elected president of the Rotary Club Of Shanghai, Caina. Be it known. foo that Doremus is shooting from scratch in the trapshooting tournaments there. Trspshooting is quite a sport in China. There is very little game to be shot there. We kick about the high prices Of goods here, but read this: Shells that cost S1.1o box of 25 here cost fS.5o a box ID Shanghai and sI25e a box in Tiensin.
 Alabama is boasting of a boy shoot or who looks like a real champion. He is Noi Mason. 16 years old. of Selma. He broke 2s6 out of 3oO targets in the state shot, broke s6 from IS yards in the handicap event and tied for first and in a 100 target event he broke ST. He don't nave to improve much to be a real star
 That some people have different ideas of what is good trapshooting was very well illustrated in a recent event in which Mrs. Topperwein was shooting in her usual snappy style, breaking them about 2o yards from the trap house A spectator remarked
 Gee, that woman is some shooter look how she busts them
 The individual to whom the remark was addressed replied:
 She sure does bust 'em, but look at that other fellow. He breaks them away out there-he gives them a chance"

ACADEMY ELEVEN DRILLING HARD

N. F. A. preparing for their game Saturday with BuIkeEey High had the best workout of the season yesterday af- ternoon when they lined up against La Stanley's -Roaches" in steady scrim- m lge lasting about one hour and a quart er Each team scored touchdowns but N F. A. breezed in ahead by kicking goals from touchdowns while the Reaches failed in every attempt.
 The Academy showed up we'll especi- ally the line. although not familiar enough with the new set of signals and Coach Mckay is much encouraged
 The Academy line is greatly strength ened by the return of Crocker, the brawny center. who. being a fifth year man has been barred from previous con- tests through school rulings. Sage who has been playing the. center position in spectacular fashion is shifted to tackle Brown erstwnile tackle goes to guard. The Red and White line as A now stands is a match for the best of them In the Reaches lineup yesterday were the nam>I of many one time \. F A stars and some of the best semi-pros in and around Norwich. La Stanley of Catholic L.; was quarterback for Chief Roach and with him in the backfeld were Ray Counihan, The Rose of No
 mans Land. Fred Williams the giant Hardig back and Handy Hal Hull The
 line was composed of huskies employed on the Cape Cod.
 The Reaches gave the boys great prac- tice in breaking up forwards, this mode of attack being used freely throughout the game and many times with great
 success.
 Coach Mckay will use the remaining few days in getting the new formations
 and plays runnings smoothly. There will be no more scrimmaging- Brown now is doing the kicking iron the touchdowrs and he hoists them ovel consistently One of these little kickS may decide the Bulkeley game for al we know

WESLEYAN ELEVEN. rKEPARrNe
 TO MEET AMHEEsr SATURDAY.

Middletown, Conn, Nov. s-Having established reputation for being one of the strongest of the medium-sized col lege teams in the East. the undefeated Wesleyan University eleven IS now pre- pairing to meet Amherst here Saturday in one of the hardest gamessson the sched- ule. Only once this fall has the Red and Black line been crossed and that was during the N. r. U. games which re- suited in q tie, fs-fS. R. I. State, Rcch- ester. Trinity and Columbia are the teams which have tasted defeat at the hands of the Middletovn warriors.
 That Wesleyan must and snail win from Amherst this. week Is the detern- iration of every man on the squad and in the college body. Last year Wesley an lost it's only game on the .wearers of the Purple and White. Although comparative scores cannot always be de- pended upon to forecast a game two weeks ago Wesleyan walked through Co., lun1bia at 10-o pace, while the week preceding witnessed Aulherst's fall be- fore the same team for 2o-7 count.
 Capt Beriew at center, Huboen at Peck the drop kicking quarter and Chief Never and Newhall at half and full. respectively have performed well for the Red and Black and will probably figure prominently in Saturdays game. Meyer is a speedy broken field runner. Newhall is good for substantial gains through the lire while Peck is rated by the leading sporting writers of New York as the premier drop kicker Of the East
