CHICAGO GRAIN MARKEr-

Chicago. May 2o.-Soaring prices To- day for wheat resulted largely from bullish crop conditions both west and southwest. The market closed strong at 3 3-4 to ' S-4 net higher with Nav S1.59 12 to S1.59 34 and July $1.25 s-4 and SPA 1-4. Corn finished unchanged to 3-Sc lower; oats gained Is to 5-sc, and provisions lost 2 1-2c to 5c
 From the outset. bulls had the ad- vantage in the wheat market It ap- peared to be generally admitted that the winter crop has suffered material in- jury. The southwest in particular lost ground. notably Oklahoma. Texas and Missouri Reports were also current that unless plentiful moisture came soon in Kansas heavy losses would occur in sections which at present look prom ising. Bulls made much, too, of gossip that Russia had been buying wheat at Liverpool and was in the market for more. Inasmuch as under normal condi- tions Great Britain would be obtaining supplies from Russia instead of shipping 10 that country. the inference was that continued export demand for United States wheat would remain an important factor. With such an outlook the mar ket developed strength up to the last closing at practically the topmost level of the day.
 Predictions that cdrn receipts here would show a decided increase next week tonqded to weaken the corn market On the other hand. reports indicated that the condition of oats is below the av- craze for this time of the year.
 In the provision m~eket, the effect of higher quotations on hogs was counterbalanced by the weakness of corn

SOMETHING ABOUT "JoE"
 MOORE, CHAMPION SKATER
BY Peter P. Carn

by GGleT r. Carney
 Joe Moore, the new International h. door and Outdoor Ice Skating Champion, was born in New York city nineteen years ago. Like some of the cham pions of recent years. Moore came be- fore the public like flash from a can- non. He skated in races around New York city for a couple of seasons before his wonderful ability was brought to the attention of the public. Joe had won several local championships before com peting in the international championship meets at Lake Placid in the season of 191S-1919 and showed so much speed that many present claimed he would soon be the international champion. At the international championship meets at Lake Placid in February, 1920, Moore was runner up to Everett McGowan of St. Paul, who won the title and only few points separated these two great skaters. At Newburg. New York. on January 1. 1921, Joe tied Charlie Jew traw for the Middle Atlantic champion ship. He was not in the best Of condition at the national championships, held at Saranac Lake on February 1, 2 aG 3 but pushed Charlie Jewstraw, the win ner of the championship.
 When the races were called for Lake Placid on February 10, II and 12 Joe had worked himself into proper con dition and was successful in winning the international championship. He re- peated his wonderful performance at the international indoor championship at the

records, since its organization, only 1s finished with a higher percentage, and Hornsby's mark has been excelIed but four times since 1900.
 In 1914, Hornsby was shortstopping for the Denison team in the Texas-Okla- homa league That year he hit for only .232. Discovered by Bob Connery, de- veloped by Miller Higgins, now mana ger of the New York Americans, with which club Connery is also affiliated at present, he finished the following season as a member of the Cardinals with a mark of 246.
 In 1916 he blossomed forth as a member of the elite class of 300 slug gers. Since then he has been kissing the pill on the merry nose as a quarter of-a-million dollar player should.
 Today, possibly the greatest star in either league, cue can recall that just six years ago. Hornsby was purchased for $I50. Three years after his pur- chase was made the Chicago Cubs of fered $50,Oo0 and several players. Five years later, or year ago, the New York iGants set the record price of $200, ,000 and four players for single ball player. This was even refused and McGraw asked Branch Rickie to name his price and take the pick of the New York club. Manager RiclSie informed the New York manager that one-half million dollars would not buy him including the entire New York club.
 The St Louis Cardinals will arrive in New London at 6.23 a. m. Sunday morn ing. and their special car will be put on a siding there. Their baggage will be transferred to the K. of c. home by auto truck and the club members will come to Norwich early Sunday morning by auto. and will make their headquarters at the K. of c. home before the game. After the game they will be taken to New London, and their car will be at- tached to a train leaving New London about S.45 ?. m. going to Boston.

 His manager, Francois Descamps, said so today. The European heavyweight champion, who is afraid of nothing that stalks in the ring, trenbles at the sight of the lightest bantamweight armed with a reporters pencil.
