PLAYER MARKET IS
 CLOSED ID TRADES
Connie Mack Put Over Major
 Transaction Of the Last Rush

New York, June 16 GP- The
 major league player market is clos.
 ed until August 3l.
 In the last rush the major trans action did not, as expected, come from the New York Giants; it was engineered by none other than that Islim veteran who has become a part Iof Philadelphia baseball benches
 Connie Mack.
 Mack's first move was to obtain Bill (Baby DolD Jacobson from the St. Louis Browns for Edmund (Bing) Miller. Both players are Ioutfielders. Then he shifted Jacob Ison and Pitchers Bryan Harriss and Fred Heimach, righthander and southpaw respectively. for Pitcher Howard Ehmke Of Boston, formerly of the Detroit mound staff
 At the same time the New York
 Yankees gained the services of a Imuch-dosirod loft-handed pinch hit ter in Roy Carlyle through waiver from Boston.
 Manager McGraw of the Giants announced the signing of the col .lege pitcher, Al Smith, and the col .leCo outfelder. Joe Cornell, both from Nlllanova, Catcher James Boyle, from St. Navier's college. Cincinnati, also reported to the Giants. The previous day McGraw exchanged Outteldor Billy South worth for Heinie Mueller, St. Louis Cardinal gardener.
 Brooklyn has signed Jim Silver. former Nore Dame catcher and captain, who used 10 catch OWnic Carroll formerly with Detroit and now with Toronto when they were in preparatory school in Newark. x. J.
 Washington announced the pur- chase of the Cuban Iefthander En- flo Palmero. from Columbus of the American Association, while Cleye- land released Pitcher Ace Weldon to Terrc Hauto and placed Catcher Chick Autrey and Pitcher Carl Yowell. now ill, on 1he retired list.
 In parting with Jacobson the Browns have dropped the second of the men who for seven year con- sti'uted one of the greatest of hit ting ouiticlds. Jacohsons mates were Johnny Tobin, now with the Washington Senators, and Ken Will Hams, who remains with the Browns but is said to be on the way else where.
 Howard Ehmke. who has been the ace of the Red Sox staff, is 32 years old. He appeared with Detroit first in 1916, but previous to that haG served in the Federal league. Wash ington failed 10 claim him after peace came to baseball. Last year he won only nine and lost twenty for the Rcd Soy who purchased him from the Tigers in 1923. He pitch ed no-hit no-run game against Philadelphia on September of that year.
 Harriss is % years old and Hei- mach 25. Both have been regarded as valued members Of the Athletics staff.
 In Miller the Browns gain a 3l- year old righthanded batter who hit %42 in 1924 and .31S last year. In his first year with Philadelphia he registered .S36 but fell to .299 the 'ollowing season.

In their next meeting, with any kind of luck at all in the days pre- ceding the battle, Delaney should take Berlenbach and win the crown from him. Berlenbach has improved 90 per cent over the days when he was a conner and since he has been champion, he has been astounding the world with the frequency with which he battles in defense of his crown. Delaney might lose, but on the face of things, he should win.

Any player has the right to play with whatever team he sees fit or with which he can benefit more, but no player has a moral right to turn his mates down without notifying them of his intended action.

BY COLD WEATHER
Federal Reserve Board Re-
ports for June.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Busi-
ness has suffered more this spring
from seasonal decline than last year,
and cool weather is blamed.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
port for June indicated a retarding
movement during the last three
months in commodity sales, farm
ing, textile and shoe manufacture
ing, livestock marketing and gen
eral commercial and Industrial &C.
tivity with a resultant decrease. in
employment
Farmrs have received the only ma
terial benefit from the retarded
spring, as it has advanced farm prod
ucts prices.
Unreasonable weather, however,
has delayed spring planting, and the
lateness oof the season has held back
shipments Of fruit and vegetables.
Merchants have refused to- stock,
in view of the dull season, and the
result has been a rise in retail prices
prices continuing from last fall.
This is not regarded as a condition
of depression, although, business
leaders are frankly concerned over
the outcome. 1t may mean price
cutting and lowering Of fthe cost Of
living will be the net result to THE
consumer.

CHICAGO GRAIN
CLOSE1S LOWER
Weather Removed as Domi.
mating Feature of Mart.
BIZ United Press

CHICAGO, June ,16. Grains
closed below Tuesdays final prices
in practically all positions on the
Chicago Board of Trade today, when
for the first time in a number of
days the weather was not the DOM
mating feature Ct the market.
Wheat was moderately active and
closed fractionally higher for July,
but lower in the other positions.
News of poor foreign crop conditions
and the removal of the French i'm
port duty were prime factors,
though the latter was doubtful in
view of the franc on the exchange.
The fact that cash prices maintained
their levels in the fact of the new
crop movement also lent strength
to the futures.
Weather continued unsettled over
the greater part of the belt. North
Dakota, finally received good rains.
Corn closed fractionally lower in
all positions, being under pressure
early in the day. 1t rallied to some
extent with wheat, but as buying
was only scattered and with large re-
ceipts ard a good crop prices con-
tinued to sag.
Oats lost fractions in, all positions
along with corn, but this grain still
maintains strong undertone.
The early 20 per cent bulge in pro-
visions was erased by the slump in
corn and lard closed higher, while
ribs were lower.
