BY GEORGE BRITT NEA Service Writer.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-Jills- of- all- Trades are Chicago's two schoolgirl world champion athletes, Nellie Todd and Helen Filkey.
 Sprints, hurdles, jumps and weight throws are alike good games for the pair. Their records stand squarely back of the claims made for them by their trainer. Tom Eek of Univer- sity of Chicago, that Nellie, 14, is the world champion junior girl ath- lete and that Helen, 16, is the world champion for all ages And each .s so young as to promise greater per formances in year or two.
 Counting on external appearances neither girl could have been expect ed to electrify any track meets this season. Helen, who turned in some notable performances last year broke her ankle during the winter A few weeks later, while hobbling cn crutches, she slipped and broke her left arm. Youth and healthy liv. irg have repaired her as good a. new.
 Nellie Soon Showed Elm.
 Nellie was brought to Eek by her aunt, a friend of hers, last winter She was scarcely five feet tall, ot slight build and without athletic ex- perience.
 That little girl isn't going to run with us. is she?" asked the older

WESTERN OPEN
 GOLF TOURNAMENT
Contenders Shoot Low Scores in
 Practice Round
ny The Aasoelated press.

By The Associated Press.
 Chicago, Sept. 4. = With fair weather promised and the course in fine condition, the largest number of contestants in the history of Ameri- can golf teed off today in the west ern open golf championship at Cal umet country club. The players in- cluded nearly all the star profess sionals of the country, among them Jock Hutchison, defending the title, Mel Smith, of Pasadena, California, having set course record of 67 for the 6.614 yard links in practice round, taking five strokes off the previous record of par 72.
 The only famous amateur entered is Chick Evans, who won the. title IA years ago when play was at match instead of medal. He played we'll yesterday in the amateur-pro- fessional event, scoring 69 for best ball with Eddie Loos as his professional partner. This score was four strokes under that of the lead CTS, Bob White of Olympic fields and Monte Dutra, of Aberdeen, Wash, who went out in 33 and came home in 32. Billy Sixty. of Milwaukee, Wis, and Jack Blakes- lee, of Kenosha, Wis, were second in this curtain raiser with 66.
 The course is difficult, but well placed shots will bring good scores A creek that cuts several fairways at unlikely spots adds much trou- ble to the difficulties created by rolling land and numerous bunkers In addition to Smiths 6T, Johr Black, of Wichita, Kans., has shoi the course in 70, while Hutchisor has scored 71.

Shocked in Hartford

Hartford, Sept. 4.-The death of Pop Geers came as shock to Grand Circuit drivers and followers of the light harness sport here in attendance at the big line meeting at the Connecticut fair. The death of the veteran driver and horseman turned what was to have been a celebration of the victor of Guy Richard, a horse owned by James P. Berry of this city, at Readville, last week, into a meunful gather ing. There were present Thomas W. Murphy, Walter Cox, Lon Me- Donald, Walter Moore, Ben White, Bill Crozier, several veteran turf followers and a number of local horse lovers. Most of those pres ent had just learned Of the death of Geers and several of the party (Continued On Following paRel

One Day State Tournament At Shuttle Meadow Club

The One-Day State Tournament originally scheduled for the Farm ington Country club for today is be- ing played at the Shuttle Meadow club where large number of Con- necticut's best golfers are playing over the links.

This makes the second tourna- ment to be played over the local links this year, the first being the Connecticut state championship tour nament which was played here in June.

ROBINSON APPEARS
 AS TENANT W0OER
McGraH and Hussir Have
 Serious Rivals in Race

New York, Sept. 4.--The Pennant Sisters, blonde daughters of former Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, are engaged in serious firtati-a with Stanley Harris and WilbS~! Robinson. John McGraw and Miller Huggins, who have been keeping steady company with the two sisters since 1921, are finding their time be- ing beaten by rival suitors although McGraw is hanging on tenaciously in a spirited battle with Robinson and MeKechnie for the coveted hand of the elder sister.
 The sudden appearance of Uncle Wilbert Robinson. rotund pilot of Brooklyn, in the romance, is causing consternation aplenty in the rival camps of Pittsburgh and New York.
 McGraw On Top
 Today McGraw stands at the top of the heap, seven points ahead of Pittsburgh and fl points ahead of Brooklyn with the remaining callers virtually out of the running. The three leaders, yesterday, all strength ened their claims for a date to take Miss Pennant to the world series by winning from their rivals, New York defeating Boston 4 to l, Pittsburgh handing lop-sided setback to St. Louis, 14 to 1, and Brooklyn lam basttng the Phillies twice, to 6 and T to Q. In the other National league contest, Chicago blanked Cin- cinnati, 6 to 0.
 Twosome In American
 The race for the hand of Miss American Remnant, the younger sis- ter, has narrowed down to a two- some. Miller Higgins called yester- day and strengthened his argument for the coveted date when Stanley Harris failed to show up, fles team remaining idle. The Yankees bump ed off their Boston rivals, II to s, Walter Beall, the newest Yankee acquisition from Rochester, pitching remarkable ball until the eighth in ming when he found the going rough with the wire in sight.
 Detroit, previously considered a serious contender, is virtually elim- mated although mathematically the Tygers stand chance to come through. The Bengals yesterday turned back the Chisox twice, s to 2, s to 1, but even with this added i'm petus they are far in the ruck and their case appears almost hopeless at this writing.
 Split Even
 St. Louis and Cleveland, the for mer just inside the first division and the latter looking in from the out side, pulled the Alphonse and Gaston stunt in a double-header the Browns walking home with the second en. counter, 3 to 5. Washington and Philadelphia were not scheduled.
 The race in both romances prom ises to be spirited from now on Both Washington and New York have business engagements in the west which will likely have a de. cided bearing on their status on oc. tober l.
 The Giants and Pirates will fight for the hand of Miss National pen. nant at the Polo Grounds on Sep. ten,ber 22, 23 and A in what will likely mean the elimination of one team, while Brooklyn, a game ant 8 half behind the Giants right now stands & good chance of upsettinf both rivals and romping home witt the laurels.

Thrown Fifteen Feet

C>t
 The veteran horseman was fatal ly injured when his mare, Miladi Guy, stumbled and fell during the first harness race at the West Vir- ginia state fair.
 Dislodged from the overturned sulky, Geers was thrown Is feet ahead of the horse and suffered in- juries which caused his death three hours later. Death was attributed to shock and internal injuries. Today had been set aside as great crowd had turned out to hon. or the premier reinsman who for fifty years had been making history on the American trotting turf. The first heat of the 2:14 trot ended by Geers taking third place. In the next heat. while he was attempting to pass Santa the Great, which was leading the field, MiIadi Guy was seen to stumble.
 A shudder went through the ! crowd as driver, horse and sulky went down. Other horses in the race were swung wide of the fallen horse and driver, by inches as they hundred past Geers who was rem dered unconscious by the fall. He was taken 10 the hospital but did not regain consciousness. At the bedside when he died were his nephew, Robert Neal Of Memphis, and two lifelong friends, Lafe Schaffer and Rodderick Patterson, noted horsemen.
 When Miladi Guy stumbled her head went between her forelegs, the mare almost turning a somersault as she fell. The sulky, lifted high as the harness held. was twisted sidewise before it crashed to the track. Geers was thrown through the air to fall with terrific force Is feet ahead of the horse and lay motionless as the other horses flashed by. Santa the Great had re- peated his first heat victory as race officials and two physicians reached the injured driver, Taken to a hos pltal Geers grew steadily weaker until death ended the career Of the great horseman. Geers, whose home is in Memphis, Tenn, was 73 years old:

 Geers' record of more than fifty years on the racetrack is known to every follower of the great Ameri- can sport. He won victories and he tasted defeat. In his time he drove some of the worlds most famous horses.

BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, March 18.-Develop-
ments in principal grain producing
States in recent weeks have been
more satisfactory to the farmer and
consumer than to the speculatOr;
nothing sensational, no new factors
that would naturally drive futures
prices up and down the scale, but a
steady improvement in economic
and crop conditions. together with
the promise that this Improvement
will continue. Crop advices from
the Southwest are particularly
favorable, as most Of that territory
is under a blanket Of snow, which
will insure an abundance Of moist
ure for the growing season.
Flour merchants report limited
business, confined in most cases to
immediate requirements. These,
however, are somewhat larger than
earlier in the month, due to the
depletion of stocks at distributing
centers. The mills are inclined to
ask higher prices, and to ignore
bids under asked prices. Export
operations continue in small lots,
with the bulk of foreign sales con-
fined to northern European coun-
tries. Mills are holding prices
steady on rye flour, Of which liberal
purchases have been made for for
ward shipment.
Corn products are in good demand
with prices unchanged. There is
no indication that previous esti.
mates Of this years crop will need
revision. either at home or abroad.
Broomhall reports good progress in
picking the new crop in Argentina,
with markets about steady. Foreign
demand, he says, has been quieter,
but liberal quantities Of new crop
corn have already been sold for ex-
port, to be shipped during May and
June. The feed markets are active.
though producers are not pressing
sales.
