AMERICAN TRADING.

During the early American history,
vivid descriptions portray the early
trading posts at which the English
and French would gather and ex.
change their various wares with the
IrOquois, Cherokee or Sioux Indians.
Here trinkets, whiskey, blankets were
exchanged for pelts and skins. At
these gatherings the red and white
men would solemnly gather and smoke
the Peace Pipe, listen to music and
enjoy crude revelries.
Thus throughout the years, trading
was continued. Although reyolu-
tionized considerably in style from
the original form, the same principal
Of exchanging and purchasing is in
yolved. he says. Merchants coming
from the neighboring cities buy cloth
ing. food and other items 10 supply
them during the next coming period.
However, with the advent Of the au.
tomobile, radio, telephone, telegraph
and other devices of modern ingenu-
ity, trading has changed from that Of
buying in quantities 10 last for twelve
months TO smaller purchases designed
merely to satisfy the needs of three
four or six months. Trading today,
involves millions of dollars in mer.
chandise 1t is upon trading that
the growth of a community is based.
GREAT MARKET.
San Antonio has grown from a
small country town 10 a thriving city
because of its excellent trading con
ditiOns. Six hundred manufacturing
concerns, offer products TO please the
buyer and 10 thus help the Alamo
City become universally known as
the greatest market in the South.
This year, the local merchants are
looking forward to the greatest trade
meet ever held. For that reason.
they have prepared the best TO show
the visitors a good time as well rs
to let them see that the community
of every opportunity" has unexcclled
wares.

PENN RELAYS DRAW
 HUGE NOTED FIELD
Largest Entry List in History;
 Some From New Zealand

Philadelphia, April 23,--Nearly every incoming tsain today brought its quota of athletes for the Penn- Sylvania relay carnival tomorrow and Saturday. They came from all sections of the country. England. New Zealand, Canada and Cuba also will be represented. The entry list, the largest in the history of the games, contains the names of more than 25O0 men and boys from 523 universities, colleges and schools.
 Franklin Field, where the meet is to be held, was alive today with runners, jumpers and weight men working off their train and sea legs. The British representatives, Lord Burghley, the Cambridge hurdler, and A.. F. Porritt of oxford, plan ned to take two workouts during the day. They arrived in New York last night aboard the White Star liner Homeric. leaving early today for Philadelphia. Porritt, who halls from New Zealand, is considered one of the greatest sprinters in England. He and Lord Burghley will con- pete on both days of the meet
 Members of the relay teams from the University of Havana and Ham, ilton collegiate institute of Canada, who have been practicing on Frank lin Field several days, were report ed to be rounding into excellent con- dition. Frosty weather the first two days of the week somewhat handi- capped the Cubans, but the brilliant sunshine yesterday made it more to their liking.
 Pennsylvania's chances in the field events received a jolt today with the announcement that Ben Owen, star pole yaulter, had sprained his ankle in practice yesterday and would be unable to compete. Nelson Shcrrill, worlds indoor record-holder. now stands as the Red and Blues hope in this event.

WHO IS WRESTLING
 CHAMP, ANYWAY? ZbySzko Claims Title, But Lewis
 Still Holds Belt

Chicago, April 23.--Prolongation of the dispute as to who. is the worlds heavyweight wrestling champion was seen today in plans to match Ed. (Strangler) Lewis and Wayne (Big) Mum for go in the open air arena at Michigan City, Indiana, May 30, with the diamond studded belt, emblematic of tho title, and still held by Lewis. al stake.
 Although the veteran stanislaus Zbyszko carries the title as result of his defeat of Mum at Philadel- phia recently, Lewis retains the belt. He refused to turn 1t over to Mum when the giant Nebraskan took his measure at Kansas City. Lewis claimed that Mum should have been disqualified for tossing him from the ring, ....
 Lewis never has admitted that he lost the title, although the decision of the referee generally was &C., cepted.
 Billy Sandow, representing Lewis, who is conferring here with Gabe Kaufman, Munn's manager, and Floyd Fitzsimmons, promoter of the Michigan City match, is authority for the statement that the diamond championship belt will be at stake.
 If the Michigan City match is billed as go for the belt. the win ner apparently will be placed in the position of disputing the title Of zbyszko who will make his first de- fense of the honor in Philadelphia next Tuesday night against Renato Gardini.
 The veteran Pole, in meeting his opponents in eastern cities, is be- lievsd in some quarters to have aligned himself with what is known as the eastern wrestling trust" with Lewis and Mum holding al. legiance to the western trust. Gar. dini generally is accepted as a mem. Der of the eastern troupe. If such is the case, the customers have the title and the westerners the belt. with the outcome of the apparent dispute a matter for the future 10 decide.

H. s. FORFEITS
 GAME TO CROSBY
Habcr Throws Ball Away To Delay Game and Umpire Awards Con-
 test To Visiting Nine

The high school baseball team suffered it's first defeat of the season by losing to Crosby high in a for feited game, as Umpire Mangden said that the local pitcher. Lefty" Haber deliberately threw the ball over the catcher's head in order to gain time.
 The game was well played con- sidering that 1t was the first of the season, and the batteries were doing exceptionally good work up until the ninth inning, when both teams be- gan to stall, thinking the game would be called.
 The Red and Gold was one run in the lead at the beginning of the ninth when the Crosby team came in to bat. The visitors then com- menced to hammer the pill all over the lot and, as it was fast growing dark, Coach Cassidy's boys had some difficulty in locating the ball. Crosby scored four runs in this in- ming before the game was called.
 The score:
