RECEIVERSHIP
RUM0RSHUR
!. MILWAUKEE
President of Railroad Tells
How System Has Been
Affected.

New York, March 13.-Widespread
circulation of unconfirmed rumors
that a receivership for the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad had
been decided upon as the only solu-
ton Of its financial problems, the
most pressing of which is the re-
funding of about $48,OOO,000 in bonds
maturing June l, brought about
heavy selling of the roads securi-
ties and resulted in the common and
preferred stocks and some of the
bonds touching the lowest prices
ever recorded.
H. E. Byram, president of the road,
reiterated that "there was nothing
new in the situation" All plans are
being held in allegiance pending the
report Of the engineering firm which
was employed by the roads bankers
to make a physical appraisal of the
property. This report is expected
by officials of the road in about IL
days, but at the offices of the en-
gincering firm, it was stated that il
might be a month before it was
ready for presentation.
Common stock on the St. Pau
road was hammered down Az points
Ito 81 and then rallied TO 9k or
short covering. The stock sold a!
high as 1875 this year and at 2CH
last year.

Hoppe for superiority at 1872 balk-
line billiards, pulled the last word
stuff at that game.
In his match with Erich Hagen
lacher, who proved the surprise Of
the tourney by defeating Hoppe,
Schaefer defeated the German cham
pion in one inning, 400 to 0.
Running 400 from the spot in 1872
balkline rates alongside the no run,
no-hit game in which not a batter
reaches first, also running the
length Of the gridiron for touch
down.
Schaefer followed this remarkable
feat by defeating Welker Cochran
in two innings. In this game he
ran ll2, missed by a hair and then
went out with an unfinished run of
288.
To be exact, Schaefer ran 58l
without u miss, unprecedented in a
world championship. While such a
performance called flor aimited
amount of physical effort, the men
tai was stressed throughout.
Is the running OF 4oo from the
spot in world champion ship 1872
balkline billiards a greater achieve
ment than pitching perfect ball
game or running the length OF the
field for a touchdown?
That is rather ticklish argument
I think it best not to be interviewed
on the subject. What do you think
about it?

WHEAT FALLS
EARLY TODAY
Extraordinary Tumble of III
Cents a Bushel Recorded

Chicago, March l3-More than ten
cents a bushel collapse in wheat
prices took place today soon after
business began. May delivery under
went an almost vertical fall to $l.7l,
as against $1.Sl Ia to $l.Sl IL at
yesterdays finish. Selling on a huge
scale was witnessed. This was barge
ly the result of widespread rains
likely to increases the new crop yield
of wheat in the United States. The
extraordinary drop to $1.71 was the
first time that the market had gone
under SLIT since it began to tumble
from the recent high price record Of
$2.05 7-8.
Crowded galleries saw the spec
tacular scenes that accompanied the
downward plunge of the market. At
first only the ordinary passive on
lockers were present but as news
spread Of the extraordinary break,
the galleries rapidly filled up.
Below the floor of the exchange
hundreds of brokers and messengers
lodged each other hurriedly and the
wheat pit was thrOAged to the last
inch of space with shouting, gesti-
culating traders.
Old observers recalled few paral-
; lels equally exciting even during
war days. Inquiries as to where all
the selling orders could possibly
have come from, brought only such
a reply as:
"From every place on Gods green
earth"
In the final dealings the rush to
sell outdid everything that had pre-
coded during the day and the mar
ket closed excited at the lowest
point yet reached, May $l.66A te
$l.67, a total loss of l4Ac to l5A
cents overnight.

SHOCKER FIVE
DAYS OLDER
THAN J. BUSH
Nv NEA Service

BY NEA Service
st Louis, March l3.-.When St.
Louis traded Urban Sh0cker to the
New York Yankees for Joe Bush,
it was the general belief that Shock
er was a much younger athlete.
As a matter of fact, the records
have it that Shocker is five days
older than Bush. Both have just
passed their thirty birthday.
The belief that Shocker was much
younger than Bush was due to the
fact that Bush has been pitching
major league ball much longer
time.
Bush made his big league debut
with the Athletics in 1912 while
Shocker didn't reach the big show
until 1916 and then tarried only a
short time, being sent to Toronto for
two years to gain some pitching en-
perience.
So as far as age the deal was a
$3.50 proposition.

Billy Evans Says
SPORTS THRILLS

Every sport carries 4 certain def
mite thrill that is just little bigger
than any other.
Take the pitcher in baseball. To
him there is no achievement that
quite compares with shutting out the
opposition without run or hit.
The perfect game, in which no
batsman reaches first base, is the
last word. However, only a few big
leaguers are so favored.
When you ask pitcher to name
his greatest performances.i if he has
ever worked no-hit game, it is
certain to be his selection, when
as matter of fact he probably has
worked dozen games that tested
his courage and ability more.
The very fact that Il no-hit per-
Torrance is unusual, extraordinary,
is what makes it have so distinct
an appeal to the pitcher.
1t may sound rather strange, yet
I have umpired ball games in which
the defeated pitcher has on the
whole worked just as remarkable a
performance as the no-hit twirler
if not more SO.

Roy E. Clark, accompanied by his bride of three months, arrived in Seward on the Admiral Watson this morning en route to his home in Ko- diak, where he is connected with the Alaska Experiment Station at that place.
 MT. Clark passed through Seward in May, 1922, on his way to the states to secure medical treatment. While overseas he received fractured spine, and after returning to this country everything seemed we'll until brought relapse. He immediately sought medical aid and left Kodiak for Anchorage, where he consulted Dr.. Beeson who advised him to go outside for help, as there were not enough surgeons in Anchorage at the time to perform the operation necessary. Leaving here May 1 MT. Clark went to Seattle and immediately entered the Swedish hospital, under care of Dr. H. T. Buckner.
 In order to remedy his splintered spine it was necessary to perform an operation on his shinbone and graft from this onto his spine. This opera tion being performed, the next was to cut into the spinal column and graft onto the spine by what is known by surgeons as the Abbey operation. The only operation of it's kind ever performed in Seattle was performed on MT. Clark, 37 surgeons being in at tendance at the time.
 After convalescing in the hospital for several years he finally became strong enough to be about, and about three months ago was married to a graduate nurse in the institution in which he was so long confined. MT. Clark is bringing north with him two police dogs of the German variety, which will be used in the Kodiak ex- perimental station for breeding pur- poses More will be added at later date.
 About three years ago. when Mir. Clark was in Kodiak, he proved up on a homestead, and received his pat ent before leaving for Seattle. He will return to Kodiak on the Watson, which leaves tonight at o'clock, and live on his homestead which adjoins the experimental station.
