GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, October ga slump in
wheat in the final minutes of trading
pulled down the entire list on the
Chicago board of trade today. Wheat
and corn closed u to "a net lower;
oats were off Il to s. and provisions
varied from unchanged to ia lower.
Local professionals ruled the wheat
pit through most of the short session.
An initial dip and recovery were fol-
lowed by steadily increased buying
and the professionals found that Of
ferings were light. This carried
wheat to ~ cents over the opening
but when the profit-taking started
there was an unusually sharp drop,
as 1t developed that the northwest
had been putting wheat into the pit
on every bulge and there was r.
surplus
Some bullish sentiment was created
by an estimate that the country's ex-
portable surplus had been reduced to
64,000.000 bushels. To offset this, ex-
port milling demands were slow and
there was a report that southwestern
mills might shut down because of
absence of demand for flour.
Corn was firm early and started to
climb with wheat, but weakened
up trades. Private reports on farm
reserves, scheduled for Monday, were
forecast as showing record holdings.
one Illinois point reported that New
Orleans was outbidding Chicago for
ten-day shipment corn. Oats were so
dull that they merely followed other
grains. Most of the trade in pro-
visions was in lard, prices weaken
ing to conform to live hog market
conditions. An opposing factor was
a report of good export demand from
England.

CATHOLIC LEAGUE
PLAY-0FF TODAY
West Catholic and VilIanova
Confident Of Win in First
of Title Tits
FINAL GAME NEXT WEEK

West Catholic High School will meet
Nillanova Prep School in the first game
of the play off for the Catholic Schools
League football championship. this aft =
ernoon. at $50. on the Strawbridgc
and Clothier Field. Sixty third and
Walnut streets. Next week the winner
of the game will play st. Joseph $
Prep school, which team received n
bye in the drawings for the champion
ship.
The same two elevens battled each
other on the same gridiron on the
morning of Thanksgiving Day. AL
though the field was very wet and
slippery, one of the best scholastic grid
games in the city this season was
played. The game was close through
out. and it was only in the final period
that It was decided.
Nillanova managed to push a touch
down over in the third period. The
goal was not kicked. However, the six
points looked big enough to win any
game. at the rate the Main Liners were
playing. and celebration was being
planned to welcome the winners of the
Catholic League title.
But. sad to say, for Nillanova. West
Catholic. in the final quarter, fighting
with it's back to the WALL stepped out,
showed wonderful football, and placed
the ball on Villanova's 4-yard line with
three minutes left to play. Jimmy Cum
ningham, substitute was given the
ball and he dashed around left end for
touchdown. The winning point was
made by Jimmy Mulln. quarterback,
when he kicked the goal
Had Villanova been able to win from
West Catholic, Thanksgiving Day, n
play off would have been unnecessary.
The Main Liners, up until the time of
the game. had not been defeated, while
st. Joseph's and West Catholic, their
nearest rivals, were each stopped once.
That meant that if st. Joseph's stopped
Catholic High. and Villanova was licked
by West Catholic, a triple-tic in the
league would ensue. And this is exactly
what happened.
at West Catholic High, is firm in his
opinion that the 5urrs will come
through today. He also looks for them
to win the title.
Hughie McGeehan, coach of Villa
nova's team, says that the Main Liners
are going to win today. Also, he says,
the team will be the next champion of
the Catholic Schools League.
And IIcinie Miller, coach of St.
Joscph's Props eleven, is sure that his
machine will be successful in its fight
for the crown.
After hearing these three opinions, it
seems as though two grand battles will
be staged, with the first being played
today.
