WHEAT REACHES
NEW HIGH MARK
Quotations Highest Since
Middle Of July
Active Buying.

CHICAGO. Aug. 15-wheat today
sold at the highest prices since the
middle of July. Active buying as
cribed to a big eastern operator APP
peared to be chiefly responsible for
the rise in values. The market closed
unsettled 10 to lie net higher. with
September s1.o1@1.o1B to st.01h
and December si.04m to si.o4h.
Subsequently. the market scored a
sharp advance accompanied by heavy
purchasing on the part Of houses

Later. the corn market rose in sym.
pathy with wheat.
Corn closed unsettled. AGA to lie
net higher. December 63% to 63% q Il.
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-strsined reIa-
tons between Great Britain and
France together with disturbed condi-
tions in Germany led to a decline in
wheat prices today during the early
dealings. A new low level for francs
anu a setback in wheat quotations at
Liverpool save emphasis to bearish
sentiment here. Selling. however. was
more or less checked by predictions
of a shortage of bread wheat this
season east Of the Rockies and by the
curtailment OF the estimate of yield
in Canada- Opening prices which var
led from unchanged figures to sc
lower. with September s9h to 99%c,
and December 100 to 1o3A. were fol
lowed by a moderate general sag.
Favorable weather for corn growth

Oats were relatively firm owing to
continued rains which threatened
damage to oats in shock. Tho market

selves Understood Amid the Deaf
enlng Din of Heavy Machinery.

Among Lancashire weavers there is
a sOundless system Of communication
which has been in use for generations
Amid the crash Of the machinery
when no human voice could be heard
the workers converse easily with one
another by means of lip movements
and signs made by the hands Knowl-
edge Of the weavers' language Is a
necessity to the craftsman and the
little "tenters" study it along with
their lessons in weaving. Usually the
first thing learnt is the time of day.
A forefnger crooked and held up, then
four fingers held up, signifies a quar-
ter to four. If the crooked finger
moves to either side 1t means a quar-
ter past four. The pupil watches the
movements Of the lips. At first he
can only comprehend their meaning
when the words are simple and the
movements are exaggerated. In a sur
prisingly short time, however, he
is able to talk to his fellow work
men with perfect ease, during the In
tervals when the looms do not need all
of his attention.

PHIL DOUGLAS WILL
PITCH FOR HORNELL
Former Giants Star Signs to
TWirI for Outlaw Team.
Not the First Big League Player to
Sign With New York Club-Scott
Perry, Former Athletic, Has
Been There TWO Years.

Announcement that Snutfiin' Phil
Douglas, banished spitballer of the
New York Giants, will be one Of the
hurting staff of the Hornell team next
summer, naturally focuses attention
on what fans say Is the real "red-hot"
baseball town Of the country.
Hornell is a thorn in the side of
John J. Farrell, the minor league
mentor, for it is an outlaw" town
and doesn't give a rap who knows it.
Last year Farrell forbade all league
teams from playing with Hornell and
even black-listed other independent
teams that played against Hornell.
But Hornell didn't mind and went out
and won the Independent or "outlaw"
championship of the country.
Phil Douglas is not the first star to
sign with Hornell. Scott Perry, who
was Connie Mack's pitching ace, has
been In Hornell for two years, jump
ing there in 1921. He won 27 Of the
81 games he pitched last summer
while Bugs Hersche, formerly In
ternational Lacquer, won 20 Of the 21
he hurled.
Joe Harris, erstwhile of the Cleve-
land Indians, played in Hornel in
1921. Harris has since been rein

WAS HERE BEFORE COLUMBUS
Claims Put Forward That Danish
Navigator Landed on the Ameri- ~
can Continent in 1875.

Several months ago Dr. Sofus Lar
sen of the University of Copenhagen
reported having discovered among old
Portuguese and Danish documents. evi-
delce thar John ScoIvo or Scolf. a
Danish navigator, reached the Ameri-
can continent and landed there in
147G. 16 years before Columbus
sailed.
According to Doctor Larsen's ac-
count, the Portuguese prince, Henry
the Navigator, after his twentieth at
tempt to reach India by sailing
around the lower end of Africa had
succeeded, conceived the idea that
ships could reach another part of
India by sailing northward across the
Atlantic. He got in touch with Chris
tian of Denmark, his brOt her-in-law
and asked him to assist in dispatch
ing an expedition from Denmark in
search of northwest passage to
India. Christian fell in with the plan
and chose John Scolvo, an expert
enced, competent sailor, to pilot the
ship. Finally the ship reached the
coast Of Labrador in safety, and
found a harbOr in what is now called
the Gulf of st. Lawrence.

PAY MILLIONS TO SEE RACES
Gate Receipts of Metropolitan Season
of 1922 Were Estimated
at $5,757,592.

Popularity Of horse racing as one Of
the leading outdoor sports is attested
by the fact that nearly 100000 in
total purse money was distributed dur
ing the 152 days Of the metropolitan
racing season at Jamaica, Belmont
park, Aqueduct, Saratoga and Empire
City.
The exact total Of purses amounted
to $1,919, 1914, a daily average Of $12,-
626. On a conservative estimate that
the gate receipts amounted to three
times as much as the purse awards,
the public paid $5,757, ,582 to see many
Of the turf's leading thoroughbreds in
action during the 1922 season.
Saratoga, the longest meeting Of the
season with it's q days, topped the
purse awards with $4O2, ,297. The 49,
day meeting at Belmont park led in
the total amount Of daily purses with
ST, 1884, and in the amount Of purse
per race with $2,S98.
The total purse money was shared
by 783 horses, while first money went
to 489. There were 2,739 winning
starters out of 1858. The seasons
program contained total of 912 races

ONE MAN WORRIED DEMPSEY
Willie Meehan Proved to Be Trouble
some to Champion on TWO Diff
ferent Occasions.

Every fstic champion can point to
some certain fighter as his jinx. Usu-
ally the fighter is mediocre and he
falls an easy victim to men who are
no match for the champion.
Willie Meehan, the roly-poly heavy
weight from the coast, is one of the
few fighters who have proved trouble
some to the champion, Jack Dempsey.
In their first engagement, back in
1917, Dempsey took down the decision
in a four-round bout. The same year
Meehan managed to get a draw with
the champion in four rounds. The fol,
lowing year he won the decision owe"
the four-rOund route.
All of which gives Meehan the dis
tinction of being the one fighter to
make progress against Dempsey, for
after losing a decision he eked out a
draw, then win.

Big Changes at Stanford.

On the face of things Leland
Stanford is to become a differ
ent institution. There may be
changes in university admins
tration-changes in PROFESSIONAL
heads. But the big thing is
that Glenn Warner goes there
as football coach, the same
Warner who brought Pittsburgh
to the fore.
The big value of a football
coach is not to develop football
teams. That is a small sart of
his worth. But in doing so, he
develops college spirit. He
builds more than any other man
about the university the idea
that i'll the sound body is the
sound mind. And these in the
human inventory may be listed
as the greatest of assets.

Everett Scott Slipping.

This yarn about Everett Scott
not being any good as shortstop
for the Yanks last year Is fine
joke on somebody. He simply
played bad ball in the world
series. That causes some folks
to think the Deacon is all done,
down and out. True, he has
slowed in his run to first base
and is going either way. But if
you ask Hugh Duffy, manager
last year of the Red Sox, about
Scott, Hugh probably will tell
you, but if the Deacon had
stuck with the Red Sox the Bos-
ton team might have finished in
the first division instead of at
