Chicago, May 12-Wheat prices show ed a downward trend tendency today, owing largely to the fact that crop re- ports appeared less unfavorable than has been the rule of late. The market closed nervous. 3-4c to 1 S-4c net lower, with May s1.43 to $1.43 1-4 and July s1.16 to $1.16 3-4. Corn lost 14c to 5-Sc oats 3-Sc to 3-4c, and provisions 5c to 2ec
 Besides having an advantage in regard to crop advices. the bears in wheat were able to put stress on higher rates for money and heaviness in the stock market, as well as upon slOwness of export de- mand and upon talk that Argentine ship ping troubles would soon be settled. The passage of the emergency tariff bill of the senate action seemed for the most part to have been discounted in advance. Indications of frost tonight were also
 without much influence in favor of the
 bulls On the other hand, reports of strained industrial conditions in Great
 Britain attracted some unfavorable notice Domestic rural offerings were small, and lack of outside speculative interest was a subject of comment.
 Corn and oats were easier with wheat although steadied more or less by a fair " good domestic shipping call for corn and by Signs of a falling off in receipts. Provisions reflected the weakness o+ grain despite higher quotations on hogs 1 and notwithstanding gossip of a better ! export demand.

CAUSES OF THE FINANCIAL,
 FLIGHTS OF THE RAILROADS

Washington, May 12.-During q long and vigorous cross examination before the senate interstate commerce commit tee today, Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the board of She Southern Pacific. held firmly to the views he had given in direct testimony as to the causes of the financial plight of the railroads of the country
 Expenditures for labor, fixed partial ly or wholly by government action, are too high and must be reduced, Mr. Kruttschnitt reiterated in reply to ques- tions from members of the co nmittee which is Investigating the whole railroad situation. Present revenues as affected by recent rate advances. are entirely jus tifable,- he added, and must be sus- tained
 Arguments and queries by senators de- signed to bring out the views of the witness as to whether lower freight rates in particular might bring the roads more business and thus increase profits out of smaller tolls, met not the slightest en- couragement from the railroad director.
 In reply to the suggestion of Senator Townsend, republican, Michigan, that ! railroads might gain popular favor by dealing with rate reductions and wage reductions at the same time, Mir. Krutt- schnitt retorted that the railroads are almost in death throes."

ACADEMY DEFEATS WINDHAM HIGH

until a. m. Whether the Pennsylvania people will make these arrangements probably will not be known until our ar- rival in Philadelphia. However, you may be assured that we will be on hand with our full force and give you good en- tertainment, and you may inform your people that Rogers Hornsby will surely be with our team,4 and will play second base. As you probably know, Hornsby is again leading the National league in hitting. He had a perfect day yester- day against the Giants, having a triple, double, and two singles, four times at bats, raising his mark to AIS, which IS S3 points better than his nearest rival. While Hornsby today Is the most valua- ble player in the world, your fans must not lose sight of the fact that we have other famous stars. Included in this group are Milton Stock, conceded to be the best third baseman in the National League! Dr. John Lavan, one of the best fielding shortstops in the game today i; Jake Fouriner, formerly the White Sox famous first baseman; Austin McHenry, l Jack Smith, Clifton Heathcote, Jess | Haines, Dill Doke and Fernie Schupp. l Incidentally several members of our l club are members of the Knights of Co., | lumbus. This group includes Jake Four nier, Clarence Mueller, William Dlllhoe- | fer Joe Schultz, pr. John Lavan, Bill Pertica and Arthur Riviere Just prior 1 to our leaving St. Louis four of these boys Schultz, Pertica, Dnlhoefer and Fournier were enrolled in the same coun- i cil on the same night.
 l Under separate cover l am sending | you a group of pictures of some ot our men which may be used for advertising
 purposes. I would appreciate it if you
 would return these to me on the day We

Willimantic. May 12.-very fortunate were the fans who, Thursday afternoon, chose Recreation Park as the place to spend the sunny afternoon. for they were treated to thrilling 11-innins struggle between Norwich Academy and Windham High with Norwich on the heavy end of a ' to score.
 Windham started off with a rush, scoring three runs in the first inning and TWO in the third oh Murphy a young portsider. Before tlte close of the third he was ordered 10 the showers and Diff fly assumed the burden. Diffly inme- diately silenced W;ndham's fu~ He pitched airtight ball for the .naining eight innings. allowing fiv h.j-. issuing lone pass and flaming II men. Only one run was made of him and that on d mis- play.
 When the ninth chapter came around Windham was in the van with q to edge. Jackie Young. the first up, beat out a grounder to first and stole second. N F. 4. stock took drop when Capt Paradis and Tanning both struck out. Murray on the second ball popped an easy foul fly not three feet from the catcher Naturally the fans started to put on their rubbers, figuring the game over. But. strange to say, Fitzgerald dropped the ball and on the next pitch
  Obernesser let the ball go through his legs. Young scored with the tying run.
 Neither side scored in the tenth in- ming although each had man at the mid-station waiting for hit.
 Capt Joe Paradis was first up in the 11th He soaked the first pitch far out 10 left center for two bases. Tanning sacrificed him to third Murray famed but the last strike got away from Fitz- gerald the aforementioned catcher and Paradis contered in with the deciding tally
 windham went out. one. two. three in their half.
 N F A. lost at least two good chances to score by reason of poor base r=aning Their victory was well-earned and with Diniy in the box from the be- ginning they would undoubtedly have won hands down
 Sullivan. tho stocl-y Windham pitcher pitched fairly well. but was given rag ged support by his fielders He was touched for II hits and sent Il Acad- ernv men 10 the water bucket.
 This is the third straight win for the Mckay outfit. Their steady improve r1ent speaks volumes of Eddie McKay's worth as coach. Many of his men whe now look so jaunty on the diamond are but recent graduates of the sand lots Huchon and Din'y especially art catch ing on rapidly. Roth of these young sters have good arms and have developed pretty hook
 The next game is with Stonington on Saturday afternoon at Stonington.. Tht: win be a league game and unless some thing goes wrong will serve to strength on N F. As seat at the head
