Lack of Ships to Make Canadian
Product Late Overseas.

WINNIPEG, August 11.-American
grain will be sold overseas ahead of
that grown in the Canadian west be-
cause of insufficient boats to handle
the record Canadian crop. 1t is felt
in some grain circles. according to
advices last night from Fort Ham
ilton to the Manitoba Free Press.
The report states that American
boats are concentrating on their own
grain trade.
American steamship companies, the
dispatch added, already have put into
effect their threat not to carry
Canadian wheat to market as a pro-
test against the new Canadian law
which requires them to file their
tariffs with the board of grain COM

Afternoon

Kuran or Warner will pitch for
the Raritan Copper Works nine this
afternoon in the first game of the

usual fashion, the visitors tallying
five runs in the first and the Ingots
making three in their half of the
opening inning. Warner and Young,
bot hof this city, were the opposing
pitchers.
Hart probably will draw the
pitching assignment for the Parlin
