CUBS LENCTHEN LEAD IN
 RACE WITH PITTSBURGH
Pirates Are Idle as Chicago Beats Brookyn-Cards Down Boston Braves Reds Take Twin Bill From Phillies-Yanks Defeat White Sox in Game Played at New Washington Senators Swamp Cleve- land Indians By 12 to 3 Score
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Prees
 The Chicago Cubs were three and one-half games ahead of Pittsburgh today for leadership of the National league. While the Pirates were idle the Cubs won another of their usual victories over the Brooglyn Dodgers yesterday. The Windy City team had to struggle II innings to take the long end of the 6-5 score. Brook lyn has won only one game from the Cubs this season and Uncle Wilbert Robinson's team is one of the very best reasons why Chicago is out in front.
 It was Chicago's eighth consecu- tive victory and Charlie Roots 20th pitching triumph of the season. Hack Wilson's single scored Adams with the winning run.
 Wattie Holm's homer in the Sth with one man on base enabled the St. Louis Cardinals to beat the Bos ton Braves, 6-4. Fournier also hit for the circuit.
 Two brilliant pitching perform ances gave the Cincinnati Reds a double header from Philadelphia. Jakie May famed II batters in the opener and won 6-1. Red Lucas let the Phillies down with six hits in the second game for 2-1 victory. Sweetland. the Phils' recruit pitcher made battle of it.
 The Yankees ripped the White Sox for 4-3 victory at New York. Babe Ruth went hitless and Gehrig got only a single in three attempts. Eric Ward, a former Yankee. pounded out q home run in the second. Meus- el misjudged the ball and it bound- cd into the left field stands. Blank enship held New York to seven hits while the Chicagoans were tapping Shocker and Moore for II. but bad fourth inning in which the Tanks scored all their runs. proved his un- doing.
 Irving Hadley held Cleveland safe while Washington was pounding Hudlin and Grant for a 1923 win. Tate was the only player in the Washington lineup who failed to get 1t least one safe hit.
 Other American league teams did not play.

 Saturdays Game
 For the third time this season. the Riverview club of Norwich de- feated the Falcons by to 3 score in Norwich Saturday afternoon. Du- gan of the Norwich team and Ber- gerson of the Falcons furnished a pretty pitching duel. Except for the second inning when he was touched up for four hits, Bergeron worked a sweet game.
 The second frame was the one in which the Norwich team won. The state hospital crew scored four runs and these proved to be too much for the Hardware City unit. The Fal- cons got an early lead in the first inning when Green and Merck singled and Green scored on Stan ley Budnick's grounder. the play going to second.
 The Falcons made strong bid to overcome the Norwich lead in the third. but two runs totalled their best efforts. Dugan and Chiminow- ski for the Norwich team were the heavy hitters, while the hitting of Green and the Budnick brothers fea- tured for New Britain. Kredar star red in the field. The summary:

FALCONS EASILY DEFEAT HERRUPS
Lose for Third Time to River
 views on Saturday

The Falcon baseball team won and lost Q baseball game over the weekend. On Saturday, the local club fell for the third time this sea- son before the fast Riverview club of Norwich. but on Sunday, the Fal- cons returned home to their home stamping ground and easily set down the Herrups of Hartford. The Falcons have met Fl opponents this season and only four of them have been able to beat the New Britain crew. Three of these wins were scored by the Riverview club while the other was scored by the Bristol Endees.
 Sundays Game
 "Dutch" Leonard took the pitch ing assignment for the Herrups at St. Mary's field yesterday. For eight innings, he puzzled the Falcon bat ters with his shoots and curves. In that frame. the local contingent started going and didn't stop until five runs were scored and Leonard had been chased from the mound in favor of "Ginger" Cleary. Bucholtz pitched steady ball for the home club, holding the Herrups to five scattered hits all of them scored during the first five innings. He frightened up in the pinches and 1t was only in the fifth frame that he weakened enough to allow the Hartford team to score.
 One run was the sum total of the efforts of the Herrup crew in the fifth. but it looked big to the Fall cons. Dixon singled to right and Gallon followed with a double. This was the only extra base hit of the afternoon for the Hartford team.
 The Falcons couldn't develop the punch to score in the early frames. Leonard used a tantalIzing slow curve and the Falcons couldn't hit it. In the seventh. however, the home club tied the score. Stanley Budnick singled through the box. Si Budnick singled over third. Stanley holding second. Klatka shot a single through first and second. Cleary knocked the ball down but Star head" scored.
 In the eighth. the Falcons came into their own. Green started the fireworks with single to right. Haber sacrificed him down. Velardy reached first on an error. Star head" Budnick then singled over second and Green scored. Simon Budnick sent long single to right scoring the two remaining runners. Klatka lined one through short and Simon scored. Cleary went into the box. Klatka went to third on inleld outs and scored on Kopec''s single to center.
 Green. the two Budnicks and Klatka were the heavy hitters for the home club, while Velardy in left field turned in a pretty catch in deep left to cut short a Hartford rally. The summary:

The game was full of variety including errors, hits, sensational throwing and everything else that goes to make up ball game.
 Billy Schmidt, on the mound for the Red Sox, was invincible until the seventh inning. After that, he bare ly slipped through with a win. The Sox blanked the visitors for six in- nings. but in the last three frames the Collinsville crew almost wrecked the day for the home club. Horn started ill the box for the Collinsville club but he retired in the third inning in favor of O'Connell. He finished in fine form.

Grain Review

Minneapolis, October 1.-R,-U.
S. d. of A.)-News for the week
was mixed, but possible deterioration
Of unthreshed grain and the delay
to the Canadian crop movement
caused by continued wet weather
were important market factors, says
the United States department of
agriculture. Hedging pressure was
heavy but the domestic market has
shown firm tendency on the pres
ent basis.
With the liberal movement of
wheat to market, the 10 1-2 per cent
protein and lower were easy at the
beginning of the week and worked
slightly lower, with demand very
Indifferent. December closed at
1923 3-8. Durum was easy, with
premiums declining throughout the
week under pressure of heavy ar
rivals and a slack export demand.
Duluth October durum closed at
1.18 IL, loss of l 3-8 cents for the
week.
Corn fluctuated widely during the
week. Cash demand for oats was
steady. December oats closed al
As "a cents, an increase of 1-S cent
for the week.
Rye was steady with a fair de-
mand. December closed at 90, a
loss of but 1-8 cent for the week.
Barley met with fairly steady
demand throughout the week. De-
cember closed at II Ia cents. the
same figure as the previous week.
Flax offerings were heavy but the
demand was good at fair premiums.
Although the market was subject to
heavy hedging during the week, it
declined only 2 Ia cents. October
closed at 2.12 Sd, or loss of Ia
cents for the week.

GRAIN PRICES
ALL DOWNWARD
Sharp Upturns Early Today

mand From u. S. Slow

Chicago, Oct. 1.-(AP)-Despite
temporary sharp upturns today all
grain prices averaged lower. Ex-
port demand for wheat from North
America was slow, and European
authority estimated the worlds crop
at 4,227 ,OOO,OO0,OOO against 4,173,-
O00,0O0,OO0 bushels last year. Corn
prices reccded at the last as a result
Of gossip that private crop estimates
on Monday would make a bearish
showing.
Wheat closed unsettled 1901 to

10 2 1-2 cents down; oats 1-S to SIS
tents off and provisions varying
from Is cents decline to rise Of
10 cents.
Conflicting opinions developed
here today in regard to an estimate
by Canadian grain dealers that the
wheat yield in Canada this season
would be 4Os 100000 bushels. De-
spite the fact that this total indi-
Gated 100000 to 24,0OO,O0O less
production than did other recent
estimates, it was asserted by some
experts here that the new figures
really confirmed liberal crop in
Canada.
Persistent wet weather over the
corn belt was largely responsible
for price upturns in the corn mar
ket today. The continued rains
were regarded as Interfering with
seasonable maturing of the crop and
as likely to increase the percentage
Of poor quality corn.
