CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago. Nov. 9.-Wheat displayed fresh strength today, al points show ing falling off in receipts. The market closed strong at 1 1-2 to 2 1-S cents net higher with December $1.0e 1-s to i 1,oe 3-s and May sill 1-2 to III 5-8. Corn gained 5S to 3-4 cents and oats 1-s6 IA to 3-s. Tn provisions the outcome was unchanged to 20 cents lower
 It was with but little effect that the bears in wheat tried to explain away the evident curtailment of receipts. One s. sertion was that the falling off was due in part to the coming drop in freight rates, shipments being held back to take advantage of the new rates It. was said also that bad condition of country roads had been more or less responsi- be. The fact remained, however. that primary receipts for the day were much smaller than a year ago, and there were predictions that total primary recetpts this week might not exceed 5000 .ooc bushels as against recent totals of g.. oe0, 900 or ten million Notice that nc moisture of consequence was reported from Kansas, Oklahoma c- Texas de. spi.s rain and snow elsewhere counted as an additional bullish factor.
 Such setbacks as took place in vaiue, proved transient and appea.ed to be due chiefly to profit taking.
 Corn and oats syn1pat 1ized a little with wheat strength but held within mar row limits, traders doing little vh;l, awaiting the government report Tn, government figures were about as haf been generally expected.
 Upturns in the hog. market and possi bilities of labor troubles at the stool yards here gave only temporary firmnes to provisions. Toward the last quota tions had a downward slant because O absence of dem1nd.

BALLOUvILLE HEN LAYS FIRST
 EGG IN KEW CONTEST

Rhode Island Red hen No AS, owned by John z. Labelle, Ballouville, Conn.,, laid the first egg in the eleventh laying contest that started at Storrs on No- ve1nber first with 1000 choice bullets par ticipating in the annual egg race. These well mature6, selected birds are the cream of the hocks they represent. The prime consideration in each case has been to pick the bullet that the owner believed would lay the most eggs in year. AS in previous competitions there are 100 pens of ten bords each. These 1000 birds are distributed geographically as follows: Connecticut 200, Massachu- setts 190, New York and New Jersey 15o each. eRhode Island 50, New Hampshire and Michigan 40 each, Pennsylvania 30, Vermont and Missouri 20 each and 10 from Indiana, Washington. Maine, Cana da and England. Classified by breeds there are 400 White Leghorns 240 Rhode Island Reds, 100 Barred Rocks. 100 White .Wyandottes( 80 White Rocks and 20 Columbian Rocks
 For the first time in eleven years the 1000 bullets from various parts of the country laid more than 1000 eggs dur ing the first week of the contest. Their exact production was 1883 eggs or a yield of nearly 15 per cent which Is TO more than the high mark of 963 made in November. 1919. All of this means that the bullets in the present competition have gotten away to a better start than the birds in any of the earlier laying trials conducted at Storrs. At the close of the first week a pen of White Leg horns entered by Hilltop Farm from Sui field, Conn, was leading the entire field witb tho score of A eggs. pen of White wyandottes entered by Frank F Matteson from Davisville, R. l., was an i uncomfortably close second with marx of 43 eggs for the week. Smalls Poultry Farms pen of Leghorns from Cheshire i Conn. was in third position with yield 1 of 40 eggs. There were twenty pens h the contest that laid no eggs during the first week but to offset this there were twenty-one pens that laid at the rate 0, 2o ner cent. or better. It is obvious therefore. that the latter group was bet ter fitted for the ri Ice and was groomeo i to start from scratch.
 The four leading pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows;

Taftville-Kacey Third Game

Taftville-Kacey Third Game Sporting Editor,
 The Bulletin.
 Dear Sir: For the benefit of the sport ing public. especially those who like to see fair play, will you kindly publish the following in the columns of your paper?
 This article refers to the third and de- ciding game of the series between the Taftville A. A. and the Norwich Kaceys. The following question was asked by a fan attending the game of the sporting News, an authority on baseball:
 Ground rule is for two bases on hit into crowd long fly is hit and crowd separates to give cutfielder chance to make catch. but fails. Would ground rule limit batter to two bases? R. A.
 The answer: In the American league last season ruling was made that prob ably all leagues agree to, that a ball hit beyond the line of the crowd comes with In scope of the ground rule, whether or not the crowd gives way, or even of the fielder goes into the crowd and makes the catch.
 This shows that the decision made by Tommy Corcoran, a Southern league um- pire was against the rules as they are looked upon by the big league, and was deciding factor in winning the game for the Kaceys. I think the decision ought to awaken the man who made it, so that the same will not deprive any more people of their winnings.
 The decision should also awaken one Joe Cosgrove, manager of the Waterbury club, who had an article in the Sporting 1 News, a few weeks ago, about the Small Town fans interfering with ball players catching flies in the crowd. Even Joe showed his ability as an outfelder, he showed poor judgment in tTamping down women ~and children in order to make a catch that was illegal. Ordinarily a ground rule established is like putting up fence and thi- fence whether hu- man or otherwise, cannot be moved with the ball. I hope the decision made by the Sporting News, will convince some of the fans, who claimed Umpire Coreoran was right in calling King out at the plata and holding Callahan on third on Chief Werre's triple in the third and deciding game, which would have made the score 6 to at the end of the ninth inning ir Taftvii1e's favor.
 Thanking you in advance for your vahu. able space, as I know it will benefl, many.
