BOOSTS THE Topeka CLUB
Jack Hardin of Muskogee Says To-
peka Fans Needn't Morry
Jack Hardin, president of the Mus

Jack Hardin, president of the Mus
kogee baseball club, accompanied
the Nets here for the opening of the
Southwestern league season in To-
peka. He was sorry to see today's
game postponed but says he will re-
main over for the other two games
Topeka fans needn't be worrying
about their team" said Hardin, this
afternoon, because I have seen it in
action and I want to say it is one of
the best clubs in the league. I have
seen them all and know what am
talking about. The reason Muskogee
beat Topeka three straight was be-
cause We got the breaks Luck was
with us or we wouldn't have won at
least two of the games. The Topeka
team can hit, it has a. good infield and
the pitching staff looks good. So
don't worry about your club. We know
we are in for a battle whenever we
meet it."
EnsIey Barbour, president OF the
league, who was expected to attend
the opening game here today, has
wired Manager Cooley saying he would
be unable to come to Topeka until
Thursday From here Barbour eX-

LATE MARKETS
MARKET LETTER.
(By Logan and Bryan.)


(B. c. Christopher * Co, 226 New England
Bldg, Topeka, Kan.l
Chicago, Ill, May -WHEAT-Trade
was small and the net change for the day
unimportant except in the current month,
which scored an advance of two cents,
due to the light deliveries and the strength
shown in all cash markets. The latter is
something that will bear close watching as
any improvement in the cash demand will
enable those who accept delivery on May
contracts to dispose of their holdings to
advantage. A feeling of uncertainty still
exists far the immediate situation
is concerned it is persistently reported
here for delivery before the end of the
month. Exporters are still after new crop
wheat and the buying of futures from time
to time against such sales as finding offer
ings light. The season of crop scares is
now at hand and should reports come In
showing damage in sections other than
that hurt by the drouth last fall, the de-
ferred months would undoubtedly gather
strength and advance to higher prices.
CORN-The market today was a tame
affair and devoid of feature Cash houses
were the principal sellers while the buying
was scattered and largely for outside in
vestment account Sentiment is gradually
versing to the constructive side with a dis
position to ignore the large available sup
plies and take cognizance Of the relatively
low price compared with other grains
and livestock. Reports from the interior
are to the effect that the surplus is rap
idly diminishing thru increased farm con-
sumption and the theory is ventured that
there will be no burdensome movement
this spring.
OATS+Had a firm tone on a quiet mar
ket featured by exchanging between May
and July.
