Chicago Produce Market

Lineage. DcC. ".
Wheat underwent material setback
in price today. largely as the result Of
radical bearish views which leading
trader here expressed relative to con-
ditions affecting the market. Values
at the close were unsettled I to 2Ac net
lower with 122s to 1921 and July l12a
to 1122. Corn finished unchanged to
1c higher. oats down a@sc to &c and
provisions off sc to 22c.
Heavy selling associated with the
pronounced bearish opinions which
were attracting general notice, put the
wheat market on the down grade from
ed to be for eastern and Chicago hold
ers and after the close it was esti-
mated that fully 2O,O0O,GOO bushels OF
wheat owned by such interests had
been liquidated in the last three days.
1t was only after prices had shown an
extreme decline Of sc. bushel as som-
pared with yesterdays top figures that
buyers became sufficiently numerous
to give the market two-sided appear

bushels more wheat available than was

Feed Game Birds
To Save Them From
RigOrs of Winter

William c. Adams, director OF the
Massachusetts, department OF fisher
les and game, has issued an appeal
to residents of the outlying districts,
asking them to lend the upland
game birds a bit of assistance dur
ing the present spell of Indictment
weather. If freeze follows yes
terday's young blizzard, the feath-
cred hosts in the woods will be IN
extreme difficulties in their efforts
to feed.
By spreading out mixture OF
SCRATCH feed and barn sweepings,
some of the hardships of the non
migratory birds will be alleviated.
Aid can be given birds in the nearer
districts by hanging out strips of
suet and spreading table leavings
and pieces of bread on the snow.
There was considerable wind with
Yesterdays storm and this was OF
some aid to the birds, as it blew the
snow into drifts and left open spots
in the country. These bare spots
are particularly gratifying to the
quail, as they must have some grit
with their food. Conditions are not
so hard on the rufflcd grouse. The
partridge generally can care for
himself and unless handicapped by
such "a storm as last years memoir
able sleet storm. he will survive the
rigors Of any New England winter

With hardly an exception. CONNER

vorable tenor and business will enter
upon the new year in a strong position.
Annual reviews stress the substantial
recovery from previous depression that
has occurred in most markets and the
results of 1922. in various respects. are
better than had been generally antic-
ipated. Despite the contraction in ex-
port trade. the point has been reached
in different basic industries where pro-
duction is at high level, while orders
already booked insure active operations
for some time ahead. Even at this hol-
iday season. which additionally is a
quite period, new demand has been of
sizeable dimensions in certain impor-
tant instances, and shutdowns at mills
and factories have been of much short
err duration than usual. Existing con-
ditions in iron AMI steel afford con-
vincing evidence of the decisive char
acter of the business revival and more
frequent reports are heard of a short
age of workers in that quarter than in
some other branches of manufacture.

FLYWE|CHT CHAMP
VILLA BEATS TERRY
MARTIN, A BANTAM

New York, Dec. 29.-Pancho Villa,
American flyweight boxing champion.
again went out of his class tonight
and defeated Terry Martin. Provi-
dence bantamweight, in sensational
fifteen-round contest at Madison
Square Garden. The Filipino receiv-
ed the judges decision after bout
that kept the crowd on its toes from
start to finish.
Villa took the aggressive from the
start, boxing in Enthusiastically
cyclonic fashion, but he found Mar
tin willing to swap punches. The
Providence bantam landed several
hard blows in the first round, but
was swept to the ropes in the second
when the Filipino launched terrific
body attack. Both mixed freely in
third, Villa sending Martin back on
his heels once with smashing left
hook.
Villa hammered Martin around the
ring in the fourth, opening cut
on his rivals nose, but the Filipino
was sent staggering back with a left
swing that connected on his jaw.
Martin pummelled away at Villas
body in the fifth. The sixth was a
slam bang affair. both mixing fur
iously with the Filipino landing ef-
fectively with both hands to Mar
tins head.
Both swung wildly in the seventh.
but in the eighth Villa apparently
had Martin in distress as he landed
several smashing left hooks to the
head. Martin came back strong,
however, at the end of the round and
punished Villa severely about the
body. Honors were about even dur
ing a lively exchange in the ninth.
Martin forced Villa to the defcn-
sive with a terrific two listed attack
in the tenth. The New Highlander
landed hard blows to the body and
rocked the Filipino with stiff left
jabs. Villa out-boXed his opponent
in the eleventh and twelfth, neither
boxer landing effectively in these
rounds.
Villa smashed both fists to the head
in the thirteenth. sending Martin
partly through the ropes with a left
uppercut.
Villa peppered his rival about the
head in the fourteenth, absorbing
several stiff body blows in return.
They mixed furiously in the final
round, Martin offsetting Villas stiff
jabs with smashing rights to the
body. Villa was the aggressor in
most of the fighting.

OUTSIDE INFLUENCES THREATEN
PRESTIGE of Col LEGE FOOTBALL
SAYS REPORT Of RULES COMMITTEE

New York. Dec. 29.-warning that
"outside influences were threatening
the prestige and good name of foot
balr' which the mere framing Of
rules could not avert, was contained
in the annual report of the American
/ intercollegiate football rules commit
tee for 1922. fled with the National
Collegiate Athletic Association yes
terday. The report was read by F. K.
Hall Of Dartmouth, who retains the
craftsmanship OF the committee for
another year.
Interest in the contests Is so
widespread and SO acute that both
the players and the athletic author
tiles in the various colleges are under
a tremendous pressure to win." the
report said. Under these circum-
stances the temptations are very
great. both on the field and off, to
adopt practices or policies which are
directly hostile to the best ideals of
the game and amateur sport and
which if INDUCED in generally would
speedily bring the game into dis
repute."
"As an illustration. the report de-
clared. there have been several dis
trcssing and one or two disgraceful
instances during the last season of
failure to accept in anything like
sportsmanlike spirit rulings of COM
petent officials and of failure to sec
| to 1t. that officials were accorded
proper treatment during and. after
the game. Institutions which are
guilty of such failures should be re-
legated promptly and exclusively to
intcrmural contests until such time
as they can give some assurance that
they are entitled to once more par
tlclpatc in intercollegiate games.
'Prosclyting, absence of the one
year rule. the tramp coach who
| THINKS only of the successful season
and considers that he has no res
possibility for the protection of the
| game or the good name of the in
| stitutlon, whose team he is coaching.
the scheduling of games with teams
from institution which make no pre-
tence of maintaining decent amateur
| sport standards are not. questions
lor the rules committee but thew are
! questions which must be considered
ana rightly answered if we arc to
maintain the good name of football.
Inc responsibility for proper
standards and policies in connection
! with the preparation for and conduct
! OF intercollegiate sports and for pro-
| per standards of play is in the last
analysis squarcly up to those who
are responsible for the academic nd
minlstraticn OF the schools and col
le3es.
II should like to repeat and en-
pRaslze the statement made in our
report year ago that it will require
the concerted efforts of all friends of
football to counterfeit some of the
Undermining tendencies which are al
! most certain to develop from the
conditions under which the game IS
played today. The game itself is al
right 1t is in the outside influence
that the danger lies. The rules COM
mittce stands ready to do its part
and the colleges, am sure, are ready
and anxious to do theirs. but it is
only the close co-opcrat:on between
the two that will assure the pre-
serYation of and integrity in this
wonderful sport" x
