little higher in the early transactions.
European advices indicated supplies
arriving are going into immediate
use. Starting unchanged to t4c
higher. wheat reacted a little and then
scored slight general gains. Corn,
oats and provisions were firmer. with
corn opening at a shade off to ssc up
and later showing a moderate advance.
Gossip circulated today prior to is
suance of the Government report on
stocks of grain still on farms in the
United States leaned to the view that
official estimates would run close to
recent figures from private sources.
Reports on conditions for the new
crop Of domestic Winter wheat were
increasingly favorable. and tended to
offset cables announcing that arrivals
of wheat in Europe were being readily
absorbed. Kansas reports said the
soil was in excellent shape, that weak
fields of late planted wheat had been
revived and stooling of strong plants

HERRING PACK ID JULY TOTALLED
 203,726 BARRELS
11,a77 HALF BARRELS OF MlLD- CURED; RUNS SLACK OFF
 AROUND CAFES

Herring fishermen had taken a total of 209,726 barrels of herring up to July 20, according to reports re- ceived from all sources at Juneau headquarters of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries and made public last week in the Juneau Empire by Acting Agent Capt. M. J. O'Connor. After a lull in the runs for several days, some fish were reported showing up off Cape Ommamey 3 week ago last Monday.
 Capt. O'Connor returned to Juneau from a trip down Chatham Strait and Frederick Sound, visiting all the herring plants. The total production is reported to be somewhat less than it was at a correspo bonding date last season.
 The mild cure pack of all South eastern Alaska stations, he said, up to July 20, was 11,877 half barrels. Up to the same date the reduction plants had processed 918,647 gallons {of oil and 3,464 tons of meal.
 Additional regulations were an- nounced in the Empire for the her ring fisheries of Prince William Sound. One of these prohibits con- 4mercial fishing for herring in that area between October 15 and Decem-
 Der 31, of this year. A second regu- lation permits the taking of herring
 between P. m. Saturday and s a. m.
 Monday of each week for the remain
 der of the fishing season.

BAKER AWARDED
DECISION OVER
JOHNNY ADAMS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 30.--Ser-
gcant Sammy Baker, Mitchell
Field, Long Island, non-com, today
is further established as a welter-
weight challenger by virtue of a
just, but unpopular decision last
night at Wrigley Field over Johnny
Adams, San Bernardino s idol in
the same division.
ADAMS, quoted in several sectors
as oncto-three prospect against
the soldier slugger, made it a fight
all the way, and in the closing
rounds stood up under withering
barrage.
Baker contentcd himself early in
the going with counterpunc hing,
but as the bout progressed, launched
a body attack and tortuous infight
ing that had Adams in a bad way.
A late rally in the third evened
that round for Adams who then step
ped out to take the fourth by dis
playing left that scored to Baker s
lead.
The next few rounds were nip and
tuck affairs, with Adams forcing
the fight, and Baker scoring the
cleaner punches.
Adams was badly beaten from the
start of the eighth. In the ninth
Baker nailed him on the chin, wit
Adams dropping to his knees but
rcgaining his feet without count.
Willie Ritchie, former world IS
lightweight champion, displayed
ring generalship and a hard punch
ing right hand that won him the
decision over Dick Hoppe Of Glen
dale, despite pair of aging legs
that appeared in danger of buckling
on several occasions.
Hoppe was warned four times for
low blows by the referee, and the
fan chorus of boohs' contcnded
that he was guilty of as many
more.

Change to Be Made

made some time today, Frank Rich
mond, matchmaker, stated. Eddie
Huff, scheduled to meet Vincent
Solano. is unavailable and Ric,l-
mond has lines out for another
fighter who will give Solano a
good fight.
Huff and Solano met last week,
the latter taking the decision after
four hectic rounds. Fans were look
ing forward to seeing the boys tack
le the six round route, as it should
have been a good battle.
The card. however, still holds
plenty of flavor to appease the box.
ing fans appetite. The main at
traction featuring frankie Aragon
and Count Molino of Los Angeles
should prove a thriller while Ronald
O'Dell of Venice and Gene VILLAIN
eueva should give fans plenty to
think about in the semi-final.
Aragon is anxious to get back
into the good graees of fandom and
promises to make the going rough
for the count. Aragon lost to Tony
Nalderama on foul at CaleXico in
his last appearance and is anxious
to prove that it was merely an ac-
cidcnt and that he can "knock 'em
dead - barring such misplays.
In the Count, however, frankie
will meet a speedy boy and while
he will have n little reach and
height advantage the Los Angeles
boy has plenty of punch.
Fans will welcome back Ronald
O'Dcl, the Venice boy being popu-
lar in local circles. His two vie.
tories over Tony De Soto here have
placed him on a pinnacle in local
circles. While local fans are favor
ing him to win over Gene Nillaneuc-
va, the latter will have plenty of
hackers for he is good hoy and
can swap punches with the best.
The opening bout will bring Mon
ic Hin and Art Monrov of San ri-
ego into the ring. The local scrap
per has been going great guns of
late but is meeting plenty of opposi-
tion in Monroy.
The first bout will start at S:i5
