IN FINE SHAPE
Coach Roberts Optimistic a. to Out.
como Of Tussle With Alexis
Eleven Saturday.

That the Aledo high school foot
ball team will come out Of the
Alexis game next Saturday with a
victory. is the prediction of local
fans. Coach Dale N. Roberts has
been putting his men through
strenuous drills and all are in the
pink of condition.
The boys have recovered from
their tilt with the alumni team two
weeks ago and are anxious to dis
play their ability against the Alexis
eleven.
The game, which will be played
at Noonan's field in Alexis, will be
called promptly at 2:30. Many high
school students are planning to &C
company the team to the neighbor-
ing city. Enthusiasm is running
high. as this is the first game with
an opposing school for the local
team this year. Last years record
shows an even break between the
two teams, each team winning one
game. The probable lineup for the
Aledo team is as follows:
Wells. C; Perrin. lg; L. Peterson,

Morgan. IT; B. Barr, re; H. Cooke,

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Bears had
some advantage in the wheat mar
ket today largely as . result Of
strained economic conditions, the
British coal strike in particular.
Leaders on the bear side contended
that the buying power for all COM
modities. including food. was being
reduced to a minimum. Large ele-
vator interests, however. couspicu-
GUS Of late on the selling side. re-
versed its position and helped rally
the market. Opening prices, which
ranged from the same as yester-
days close to lie lower with De-
cember $2.02h to $2.03k and March
$1.95 to $1.9511 were followed by
moderate general upturns.
Bear pressure increased later,
and the market underwent a de-
cided setback. Acute weakness de-
veloped in connection with reports
that further spread of the British
strike was imminent. Prices closed
unsettled, sc to sac net lower, with
December $1.97A to- $1.9S, and
March $1.S9% to $1.90.
Corn paralleled the action OF
wheat. After opening unchanged
to 1sc lower with December Sic to
81Ac, the market sagged a little
more but then recovered.
Subsequently. the market reacted
by persistent weakness in the hog
market and by pessimism growing
out Of the British strike develop
ments. The close was nervous, l b c
net lower to Nc advance. with May
at $3.50 to $3.50.
Oats were governed by sympathy
with other grain, starting Aeon
to &c advance, December 53Ac to
$3.50. The market later scored
slight general gains.
Lower quotations on hogs pulled
down provisions.

nue.. Moline, proprietor of q pool
hall and restaurant in the 'Oker-
berg building, was bound over to
the grand Jury yesterday afternoon
by Magistrate Frank Gustafson on
a charge OF operating a confidence
game. Charges against Bastunas
were preferred BY Beach Maxey,
who alleges the restaurant owner
short-changed him by 50.
Maxey says he bought a lunch
at the Bastunas restaurant for
which he was charged Is cents. He
claims he rendered a IS bill in pay
ment and received only $1.75 in
change. Bastunas' defense is that
Maxey gave him a 81 bill.
This is the second time within
the week that Bastunas has been
held to the grand jury. The first
case, heard in the court of Justice
F. C. Entrikin. charges Bastunas
with the theft of $40 ring. The
plaintiff claims he showed Bas-
tunas the ring and that the latter
refused to return it. Bastunas re-
Gently purchased the . Okerberg
