Chicago Produce Market

Chicago. Dec. IL.
, New upward flights took wheat to-
day we'll beyond S1.73 bushel as n
goal FOR the May delivery here. and
lifted all Chicago deliveries OF wheat
and rye to above any previous top quo
tations this season. The latest smash
ing of high price records was associat-
ed with continued reports or bread
stuff shorta ges. especially an estimate
that the world crop OF wheat is 440,-
000,0 bushels less than last years
total. Closing prices on wheat were
strong, u to 90 net higher. MAY 1.76s
to 1.76t and July 1.j1a to 1914, with
corn 1 to { up. oats to : off, and
provisions varying from 10 cents de-
cline to 35 cents gain.
Indications of liberal foreign buying
OF future deliveries of wheat here act
ed as an early stimulating influence in
the wheat market today, and SO did
sharp advance. in Liverpool quotations
of wheat available Tor immediate de-
livery there.
Bullish aspects of the United States
government crop report as to wheat
and rye were given considerable atten-
ton. particularly the fact that the
condition Of both wheat ard rye was
hown to be below what had been gel
orally expected.
Corn price advances We're due al
most entirely to wheat strength.
Proft-taking sales weakened oats.
Provisions averaged higher in line
with grains and hogs.

Peace, Established
Toward Johnson
BY Club Owners

Chicago. Dec. 10 (By a. P.)-Peace
and good will toward Ban johnson,
president of the American League
were radiated by his club owners,
returning home today, after strip
ping him Of part of his power and
rebhking him for his attitude toward
Kenesaw NJ. Lands, commissioner of
baseball.
Most of them are still behind John
SON and do not want him to resign
the post he has held for more than
20 years They consider that the
baseball world will never see a great
err figure than Johnson.
Such an IMPRESSION was conveyed
by Clark Griffith. president of the
Washington club: Thomas Shibs OF
philadelphia; Col. Jacob RUPERT OF
the New York Yankees. and Connie
Mack. manager Of the Athletics, be-
fore they left here last night.
f. The letter rebuiing johnson, pre-
scented to Commissioner Lands by
the American League owners was
merely to clear the atmosphere
Mr.. Griffith said. when he and the
others called at the league lreadquar-
tiers to pay their respects TO JOnnSon'
The president being in seclusion
they conveyed them to Henry KILL
lea. Milwaukee attorney and friend
of Mr.. johnson.
1--WE We're not appointed to call on
Mr.. johnson and ask him not to re-
sign; there is no /. reason why he
should resign, said Griffith. we
came to pay our respects to him be-
cause we are all with him."
There has been much misunder-
standing in baseball and we wanted
to clear it up for all time, he con-
tinued.
"As far as we are concerned we
stand behind Mr.. Johnson the same
as we have always Stood"
Commissioner lands, sufferlns
from a severe cold. had nothing to
say regarding action OF the joint ses-
sion of the club owners.

Philadelphia. Dec. 19-The Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania track team will
race a combined relay team repre-
senting Oxford and Cambridge Uni
versities on the high school champ

In announcing tonight that the invi-

be sent. but that the probabilities
were that it would be the one mile
quartet.
The invitation was extended by d.
G.. Lowe. president of the Athletic
Club OF Cambridge, olympic half
mile champion. and f. L. Hewetson,
president OF the Oxford Athletic
Club. Hewetson was a member. of
the Oxford team which competed at
the Penn relay carnival two years
ago.
