But-tne baseball season near
Ing completion was fought out on
merit alone and there il none TO
saw. that the victory Of the New
York teams was not deserved. The
Yankees, for the most part, had g
rather easy time OF it. The
Giants have had to fight tooth
and nail and they are not yet out
of the woods OF mathematical pos
sibility.
More important that that is that
both teams battled through the
season without resort to check
book or bank account. The same
men who started the season for
the Yankees are in there at the
finish, and the Giants, too, have
gone through without the pur-
chase Of q single player.
IL Il true that the Giants have
negotiated one tFade-fIae trade
that brought Watson and GOWdy
to the club I'm exchange for
Barnes and Smith. But there
were other motives behind that
deal than dealing Of cards to
insure ultimate victory. In, that
trade was involved question Of
making disciplinary trades, gives
no thought to victory or defeat.
And this thing, too. IL certain.
What the series lacks in interest for
the world In general It will more
than make up for New York IN par
ticuIar. New Workers are not base
ball mad-they have seen too much
baseball for that. But In the series
this year they find an element Of
humaneness, q personal element
which Is very appealing.
First Of all there's the comeback
Of Babe Ruth. Then there's the per-
sonal flavor, too. that comes Of two
defeats for the Yankees. And in ad.
dition to that there's q matching Of
star players In nine different posi-
tions-with thousand different
fans, pulling for thousand differ
ent things, and looking at the series
rom q thousand different angles.

WHEAT PRICES
Extensive Covering Gives
Market Strong Tone In
Late Trading

CHICAGO, Aug. 211Trade In wheat
was light at the start today with
prices lowering near to yesterdays
finish. during the early dealings.
Liverpool started at an advance but
a reaction soon carried values to
about the previous close. There was
some scattered commission house
business on both sides of the market
here. but Indifferent cables had n ten
dency to check the demand. Coun-
try offerings were light. Cash inter
ests sold September and bought De-
cember in a small way. Opening
prices, which varied from 20 to 10
lower with December 1.04 to LOAN
and May 1.0sN to 1898. were follow
ed by a slight setback all around,
and then something OF a rally.
Strength in corn and a prediction of
frost in parts of Canada helped to
uphold wheat values in the late trad.
ing. The close was unchanged to
80 higher. with December LOAN to
1.04h @& and May 1.0eH.
Corn displayed some strength at
the outset which was followed by a
break and then a fractional rally.
Realizing sales were responsible for
the easy tone. After starting at
unchanged figures to lao advance
with December 64b to $50. under
went a slight general decline and then
something OF a recovery.
Covering by previous sellers Of corr
