CHICAGO GRAIN MARKEr

Chicago, March 17.-Signs of exhaus- non or buying power led to stampede to unload on the part of holders in the wheat market today, and caused prices to crlmbie The close was nervous at 3-4 to 3-4c net lower with March S1.57 to 1.57 If and May s1.4s to 1.4S If. fs Corn lost 7-S to i 1-6c. and oats 7-S l to Is. Provisions gained 20 to BOG. =
 It was evident from the outset that new incentives were needed to hiring about any decided progress for bulls in the wheat market Gtssio waa current that an embargo aginst inn portation of agricultural products into the United States had been decidea on by President Harding, but no confirmation appeared to be forthcoming and a mod crate upturn which had taken place in values failed to last. Then renewal of misgivings concerning the industrial out look attracted notice and so too did lack of any urgent export demand. It was at this stage that selling ascribed to an eie- vator interest weakened the morale p4 the bulls and left the market bare of buying orders except from the shorts who hapr . ed to be in pc1ition to col iect profits.
 Corn and oats were Timer early with wheat but quickly vent lower when wheat started down grada
 Some export business in lard had a stimulating effect on the provision mar. ket. esides, fresh pork loins were selling at the highest price of the year.

REDS HANDICAPPED BY YFOUR HOLDOUTS
eroh Has . Rival.

It is just possible one or two of them may yet be sorry for not reporting for the training trip, because, to all indica- lions Boss Moran has uncovered reaI find In one of his recruits. a sturdy man named sammy Bohne. who has been per forming at third base in Helne Groh's regular spot.
 I happened to catch the Reds playing an exhibition game against Clarence Row lands Columbus club, training at Ranger, a short distance away. In this contest young Mir. Bohne went to bat five times and all he did was to hit four home runs and one single. As I recall it, that same record is down in the book as having been made by Ed Delehanty, more than twenty years ago.
 It doesn't mean that young Bohne is going to do that right along in big league circles. The right field fence was a bit short. and one of the homers was a long fly over that barrier. It would have been caught in a big field.
 BohHe Can waIIop Pill.
 Another was a terrific crashing drive to left field that took a bad hop on rough field and got past the left fielder. On level and smooth field, be might have held it to q single. Just the same this youry I'a~ tho ball and
 played the position at third base in bangup Ia4-...-. -.
 Another sparkling lad has been uncov- cred in Louis Fonseca, a Latin skinned youngster from the lots of San Francis co. He has driving power in his batting , as great as Bohne, and is an active kid on the infeld, though he does need ex- i perience.
 It was Moran's idea that he might have 1 to play Groh at second this year and. perhaps, Bohne at third Or he might have played Kopf at second and Sam Crane. the utility infielder of last year, at short. Now 1t looks as If Bohne is sure of a place, and if the stars fail to | come back. Fonesca will be at second with Crane at short and Rube Bressler, ! the former pitcher, on first.

 Cisco, Tex, March 17.-(Speeial to The BulIetin.)-Ever since the Cincinnati Reds had the worlds championship forced upon them in the fall of 1919, they have been temperamental. At least some of them have. and this spring things are worse than ever. Four of the stars are holdouts, and while they are expected to come to terms some time after the strenu- ous trip is over, or at least near the fin- ish of the jaunt, the Reds are likely to labor under the handicap of late start.
 Pat Moran, who was found down among the oil wells of this region laboring over time, realizes the situation, but feels he has found two or three sparkling recruits who will carry the club through the ear ly contests.
 Moran Works Recruits Hard.
 With that idea in mind, he is working his squad harder than any manager 1 have looked at so far except Branch Hickey, because he wants to have the re- cruits prepared to go into big league bat tie should the worst come and the three Or four stars refuse to report.
 year ago the training camp of the Reds might better have been pitched on Fountain square in Cincinnati than in Miami, although conditions at the Flori- da resort were ideal for conditioning pur- poses At that time the Reds were still celebrating their victory over the White Sox of the previous fall. They left camp i in no condition, but when the old bell rang began playing good ball at once. :; Perhaps they can do 1t this year. 1 No Cause For Celebration. ! However, they have nothing this spring 1 to cause celebrating, and there is no cele- brating They are doing their daily grind with spirit and even enthusiasm-that is, I, all except Eddie Roush, Heine Groh, Jake Daubert, and Larry Kopf, the four who haven't at present writing, come to terms ! with the boss and apparently will not until the hardships of the southern tour are over.
 l Such a condition is bad for the morale i If the whole team. One hears 1t in wh!s- pers, especially among some of the older heads of the club, who feel that they have just as much right to miss a train- ] ing trip as has any of the four stars. 1 When the stars do report if they do, they will not be welcomed with enthusi- asm by the others who have gone through 1 the grind. Naturally, there is likely to 1 be i'll feeling. In a way, it breaks down the morale of the club. It makes the job doubly hard for the honest and hard working manager, MT. Moran.

WILSON AWARDED REFEREES DECISION

New York. March 17.--Iohnny Wilson, worlds middleweight champion. retained hiss title in 15-round bout with Mike O'Dowd, former champion, at Madison Square Garden here tonight At the end of the battle the judges disagreed and Referee Johnny McAvoy of Brooklyn gave his decision in favor of Wilson.
 The bout itself WAS rather disap- pointing one from fistic standpoint, as each man seemed afraid of the other, and O'Dowd only adopted his famous rushing tactics occasionally.
 Wilson, who has the longer reach, was able to stand off or outpoint O,Dowd as long as the ex-champion was content to box or spar, but whenever O,Dowd step ped inside to fight in his usual rushing fashion Wilson was the sufferer.
 At least three times during the bout O'Dowd complained that Wilson was hit- ting low with his left swings to the body. In the thirteenth round, when their heads bumped, blood spouted from a cut oye- O'Dwod's temple. During inc last two rounds o'Dowd was bothered as result of this mish3p.
 There was heavy wagering on the re suit. Wilson was pronounced fayorite in the betting during the day, the odds being quoted as Il to D., but when the men reached the ringside the betting was largely at even money. When the ref eree's decision was announced it was re- ceiyed with neither much applause nor derfsion by the spectators
 Every seat in Madison. Square Garden was occupied 1hortly after the start of the first preliminary bout. This was a six round contest between George Kitson, a local bantamweight, and Jimmy Toma- sulu, of Elizabeth. N. J., and ended in a draw.
 Lieut.. Earl Baird. U.. S, A, aviation corps, of Seattle, and Joe German of Portland, Ore, fought 10 rounds to a draw. They weighed 127 pounds each and put up one of the iiyeliest prelim- mary bouts ever seen in the Garden.
 Vincent lPepper) Martin of Boston was awarded the judges decision over George (Young) Erne of Buffalo at the end of their 10 round bout. Both Wilson and O'Dowd had weighed in under stipulated 16o pounds at 2 l o'clock this afternoon. Wilson turned the scales at 15S pojunds and O'Dowd weigh ed 15S 1-4
 Wilson was the first to enter the ring and received 8 warm reception. O'Dowd climbed between the ropes a minute later and was greeted by hearty cheers iron all parts of the house. Both men ap. peared to be in excellent physical condi i tion.

TO GATHER NEW EVIDENCE
 AGAINST WHITE SoX PLAYERS

Chicago, Mar. 17-Immediate prose cution of Chicago White Sox baseball players and others indicted in connec- tion with the alleged throwing of the 1919 world series collapsed today when the state, charging corruption of it's chief witnesses, dropped the cases against seven of the players and Judge William F. Dever took the others off the court call.
 Tonight, however, the state plunged into the task of preparing new case with announcement that the matter would be placed in the hands of a grand jury again tomorrow and re- indictment of the players whose cases were dropped, sought.
 Robert E. Grove, states attorney, took charge of the case today and an- nounced that he would handle it from now on. He ordered the cases dis missed after his plea for six months in which to gather new evidence had been denied by Judge Dever and May set at date for trial
 Tonight, in a formal statement, Mir. Grove placed the blame for the col lapse of the case on his predecessors in office charging they had handled it improperly; on an alleged conspiracy ! which he said had defeated justice and corrupted Joe Jackson, Eddie Ci- cotte and Claude Williams, the men who confessed to the grand jury. He announced plans to go personally be- fore the grand jury tomorrow to seek new indictments. He pledged himself to use every means to bring the guilty persons in this case to justice" de- ! claring that many guilty persons had not been indicted by the grand jury and that important witnesses were ex- ! cused from answering questions which i would have brought the real conspira- tors to Justice.
 ] hal Chase. Joseph J. Sullivan, Ra- chel Brown, Abe Attell, and William Burns, the latter five charged with 1 engineering the alleged world. series deal, were taken off the call, but may be brought up again. The cases dis 1 missed were those of men who had
 surrendered and given bail. There was i little prospect of the men returning to
 baseball however, all being both un-
 conditionally released and on the in- eligible list.
 MT. Grove in his argument today
 told Judge Bever that grand jury tes-
 timony had been stolen and that a
 conspiracy had hampered the state al 1 every point. He demanded six months
 to gather new evidence.
 When Judge Dever replied that six | ty days is the limit, Mir. Grove shout | ed: Well. the game is called then
 I'll ask nolle iprosequi."
 The men indicted were still under
 ban of silence tonight, their attorney. forbidding them to talk for publica tion until the statute of hmitationi expired.
