Washington, D. C.--Wheat gam
blers organized as the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce have been
ordered by the federal trade commits
sion to cease unfair methods of COM
petition in their efforts to destroy
farmers cooperative grain markets
and to retain monopoly of the grain
business at Minneapolis.
The Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce, which is politely called
grain exchange" and is the largest
wheat market in the United States, is
accused of seeking to destroy the
Equity COOPERATIVE Exchange, which
is member of the ST. Paul Grain
Exchange, of ST. Paul, MINI. The
Equity COOPERATIVE Exchange oper-
ates on patronage dividend plan
whereby earnings in excess of ex-
penses are returned to grain grow
ers whose grain is sold by it. The
ST. Paul Grain Exchange is not op-
posed to it's members operating on
the cooperative plan. Because the
patronage dividend plan cuts into the
profits of the grain gamblers, the Min,
neapolis Chamber of Commerce is op
posed to the plan and prohibits its
members from handling grain in that
way,

CALIFORNIA eleven

While eastern educators are be-

bail. no one in California seems to be
dismayed at the possibility Of the
Bears bringing in between s75o.00o
and a. million dollars at gridiron
games this year.
This is by no means a wild dream.
1t may we'll come to pass. This state
ment is based upon the financial
showing of the gridiron game at
Berk kelcy in 1888. In nine games the
Hears rolled up gross receipts of
s530.S50.25. Expenses. exclusive oi

at Berkeley was SOS, 5,623.01. leaving
total net receipts to California ap-
proximating 100000.
In virtually every game played by
California at home last fall thousands
were turned away because of lack of
seating capacity in old California
Field. Even in the final game. against
Stanford in the new memorial sta
dunn, 10000 persons were unable to

ALONSO'S WIN OVER
TlLDEN IS SWEET

William Tilden's defeat by Manuel
!Alonso in the final match Of the Buf-
falo Tennis and Squash Cubs invi-
tattoR indoor tennis tourney must
have been very satisfactory to the
Spaniard in view OF what happened
in the national singles at German
town last summer
Before Tilden and Alfonso were to
meet in one OF the preliminary
rounds Tifden was seated at ease in
the clubhouse. He remarked to a
friend that he felt like tennis as
never before in his life, and that
when he was this way he felt quail
flied to defeat any player. no matter
whom. In straight sets. Turning then
to Alfonso. he smiled and said:
Manuel. friendship ceases today
when we get out on the courts"
Every one who saw that match win
recall how Tilden kept his word. how
flaming his energy, how inimitable
his technique, now overwhelming his
victory.
Now Alfonso comes along and turns
the tables in a five-set indoor match
Well, that is Tilden. No man car
rise to heights so great as he, and or
the other hand no man can dub along
as he can when his mood has not
been whetted and his competitive in.
