NEW YORK, Feb. s.-President
Charley Ebbets. of the Dodgers, win
demand that President Baker. of the
Phillies, either prove or retract his
charges Of tampering with members
Of the Philadelphia Nationals. The
Dodgers and Cardinals were the
clubs Baker blamed. Ebbets, on his
return from a Florida vacation, not
only denied that he had authorized
anyone in. his employ to tamper with
anybody's players, but also pointed
out that he formulated the very rule
which Baker says the Dodgers vio-
lated. ..

Penn State wrestling prospects were
dealt quite blow in the trials for
the opening meet with Lehigh when
Tiny Mcmahon. veteran heavyweight.

also put out for at least a month
when he had a rib fractured. Nc
Mahon's injury came in bout with
Jess Sarson, a 2so-pounder, who has
been showing all kinds OF ability
this season. In fact, Sarson had al

sight, and this seems to be about
all one can hope for.
The Pick of the Cluster.
In place of meeting Tom Gibbons,
it seems better for Carpenter to
wait until Gibbons, Tunney and
Greb have settled the issue here at
home as to which one belongs.
After this 1t will be time enough
to send the winner against the
Frenchman.
There is an added advantage over
this route. for We can have then
two snappy jousts among the three
Americans before the international
flavor is injected.

GOODRICH LOSES ON
NET SALES IN 1921
Decline in Value Of Raw Ma

Responsible, Says Work.

Bertram @. Work. president of the b.
r. Goodrich Company, in its annual re-
port issued yesterday states that its net
sales OF 1921 were ss7,ooo.0oo, on which
there was sustained loss of $4,000. 900
after depreciation, &C. He said that
practically the entire loss was due to
the decline In market values of raw ma
terials and finished goods carried for
remarks continued as follows:
''It is the opinion of your directors
that with the substantial reductions ef-
fected in operating costs during the last
year the current years operations
should. with a reasonable volume of
business. show q fair margin of profit
In spite OF the fact that during the last
year capital expenditures have been
kept down to a minimum outlay. the
company's plants are in excellent condi-
tion to take care OF much larger vol
ume OF business than represented by
1921 sales"
The company's operations of 1921 re-
duced its profit and loss surplus from
S22.706.49S at the beginning of the year
to S10.194,527 at its close, accounted for
by operating loss of $S,9S3,402 and divi-

GRAIN.

CHICAGO, Teb. 1s.-Toreign markets
were again the paramount influence on
the Chicago Board of Trade to-day.
With Argentine reported as 8 cents
higher on wheat an exactly similar net
gain was recorded here. Corn finished
unchanged to u cent higher. oats y
cent to X cent higher ana provisions
cents lower to TN cents higher. al
though cured products made new high
mark for the season.
Wheat started higher in sympathy with
Liverpools bullish action on the Argen-
tine crop estimate of 15,000,000 bushels
less this year than that of last year.
Profit taking operations forced down
prices, and absence Of decided support
encouraged shorts to indulge in their
favorite trades. AS a result the Buenos
Aires Close at cents advance, came
when the pit was oversold. Tho longs
made the most of the chance ana the
bulge was continued right up to the
final bell.
Corn was weak IN tho early trading
but falling off In country offerings,
fair export business and advices that
seaboard interests were coming to ter
minal markets for grain gave ground
for good support The close was strong.
Oats were about steady. but trade in
them was light.
\ Provisions were moderately active.
Higher prices for live hogs had the
usual effect, but locals and cash houses
were good buyers of lard. and only scat
tered commission houses were making
offerings in the pit. The top Of $10.45
for live hogs was new high for the
season.
