visions unchanged to 81 cents down.
Selling pressure in the wheat mar
ket came largely from houses with
eastern connections, and was empha
sized by late reports of clearing
weather in the Canadian harvest
region. Earlier, wheat values showed
something of an upward trend, owing
more or less to news of rains in Can
ada, causing fear that threshing and
the Canadian crop might be delayed. On
the other hand, Winnipeg receipts of
wheat today were heavier, 4S2 cars, and
this circumstance acted as an offset.
Export sales of wheat today aggregat-
ed 750,0 bushels, and advices at hand
indicated good prospects of an immed-
late end of the British coal strike.
Furthermore, French threshing re-
turns were represented as being small
er than had been looked for, and the
German wheat crop was unofficially
estimated at 25,000,00O bushels lower
than last year. Corn and oats were in
demand for shorts. Further amounts
of corn here were posted as out of
condition. but the call for all grades
was better.
Inquiry for provisions was less ac-

l6 TEAMS COME
THROUGH TENNIS
PLAYS MONDAY
fBH Dispatch A. P. wlrel


BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. SO.-Six-
teen teams including the Davis cup
players of America and France,
came through the opening round Of
the national doubles championship
today without an upset.
Short and decisive triumphs fell
to the racquets of the 1925 title
holders, Vincent Richards and r..
Norris Williams, the new eastern COM
bination of VIII. T. Tilden and Alfred
H. Chaplin, Jr., and a far west tan
dem of VIM. Johnston and the inter-
collegiate champion, Edward q.
Chandler.
All three teams came through their
initial tests in straight sets, as did
the French combination of Jean Bo-
rotra- Rene Lacoste and Jacques
Brugnon- Henri Cochet. The sixth
pair of the Seeded entries-Lewis N.
White and Louis T. Halheimer Of
Texas-was less impressive, however
The Clay court champions, who
last year accomplished a sensational
upset in overthrowing Borotra and
Lacoste, had to go five raggedly
played sets to put out A. G. Waters
and C. e. Granger of New Orleans
the southern title holders, Ga, 2-6'
GA, As, 6-2.
One sided matches gave the gallery
few thrills during the afternoons
play and most of them came from
the racquet of Johnston. He was
more decisive in his volleying, more
sure of his ripping forehand, and
more brisk in his court-covering than
at any previous period of his career
campaign. Chambers 'steadiness and
powerful service were also factors in
the Californian's triumph over the
Leland Stanford team, Lionel Ogden
and Cranston Holman, 6-1, 81, 8-6
Glaring errors punctuated the bril-
liant net play of Richards and Will
liams in their match against Lem
Baker and T. W. Hubbell of Kansas
City, the Missouri Valley champions,
which was decided in straight sets,
60, Ga, 60.
Tilden mad Chaplin, although puzzled
by the terrific serving of Wallace
scout, were EXTENDED at no point VI
their match against the Seattle,
Washington, player, and Theodore
Mcdonald winning at 6-3, 6-S, ga.
Both French teams likewise came
through in canters, Borotra and La
coste speeding through match
against E. w. Emms and e. B. Pierce
of Salt Lake City to win at 6-1, 6-3,
Ga, and the team of A. S. Dabney
and Karl S. Pfaffman falling before
the spectacular attacks of Henri Co.
! chet and Jacques Brugnon, 6-1, 6-3,
6-S.

DENIES
HE WILL PLAY
WITH JUAREZ

Buck Weaver, Douglas shortstop, de-
MED Tuesday the report contained in
a story published by the El Paso Times
to the effect that he would play with
the Juarez Indians in the playoff for
the championship between Juarez and
Fort Bayard
That he will leave for his home in
Chicago, Ills, Immediately upon the
close of the Copper league scheduled
was the positive assertion of Weaver,
when questioned regarding the story.
1t is considered possible, however,
that some of the former Juarez play
ers, now playing with the Douglas
Blues, may return to their former
berths for the playoff.
None of the Juarez players will leave
the Douglas team until after the COM
ing series with Bisbee, which will mark
the end of the second half of the base
ball season in the Copper league. 1t
was intimated by some of the former
players that they would not return to
the Juarez team unless paid back SAL
ary due them.
The Bisbee Bees are interested in
IOT SSTl6S Ol seven
to be played with Douglas after the
conclusion of the regular Copper league
schedule, it was announced Tuesday by
Tom Glenn, manager of the Douglas
team. 1t would be the intention of the
Bisbee team to play alternately in
Douglas and Bisbee. 1t is not known
at the present time, Glenn stated,
whether or not the proposition offered
by the Bisbee club will be accepted. !,
Acceptance of the Bisbee bid will
probably depend, in part at least, upon
the outcome of negotiations with
sportsmen in Mexico City, Mex, who
recently sent an invitation to the local
club to play in series of exhibition
games at Mexico City upon completion
of the Copper league schedule. The
invitation was tentatively accepted by
Hal Chase, acting as spokesman for
the club, but whether or not the trip
will be made has not been definitely
decided.
Arzate, snappy catcher annexed by
the Blues from the Juarez club, plans
to seek employment in Douglas and re-
main until next season, when he hopes
to again be in the Blues lineup.

PRESENT NEW IDEA
 FOR POLICE DEPT.
Plans Under Way For Regular
 Force Recommendation
WOULD HAVE THREE MEN
Quiet Weddings Solemnized in Town-Traffic Exceedingly Heavy Over Week k-End-Annual Fire District Meeting Tonight-Itcms.

A reComm endatlon that Berhn employ a regular police force is not new. In fact. residents have about given up hopes of ever having q regular department, with men on duty all the time. In connection with past recommendations has come one that a police station be constructed to house the depart ment, an idea which is q good one, but which seemed impossible of completion because Of the cost of a building suitable for the pur- pose.
 The latest idea as advanced by several citizens includes the en- ployment of three full time police men. but does away with the building clause by recommending that a room in the rear of town hall be remodelled for use as head quarters for the patrolmen. There are two cells at the town farm at the present time and these have not been in use for years. It is sug- gestcd that these cells be brought 10 the town hall and installed in the basement where wrong-doers might be held for trial.
 The three policemen would be on duty 24 hours a day and always within reach of a telephone, situation which would be great improvement over the present one, since it is at times difficult to reach the Berlin police officers and much time is quite often lost because of the fact that complainants have considerable detective work 10 do before being able 10 reach officers who are regularly employed in town.
 Since enough fees could be col lected to keep the department self-suppDrting, it would not in- volve a great deal of expense on the part of the, town 10 keep it go- ing. The department would be sys- tematized and it is thought that the idea is a good one, since Berlin stands in need of a regular depart ment, the officers of which can give all their time to the work.
 It would be necessary 10 call q special town meeting to put the project through and. since there is considerable talk about the idea. doubtless steps will be taken to have one scheduled for the near future
