For one thing, the boys were to

The Cubs have ended their

Hack Wilson, their big hitter. has
emerged from a long batting slump
at the same time. This may mean
that the Bruins who apparently
had cracked wide open. may rally
in time to staye off the rush of
their three rivals for the National
League flag.
Wilson walloped three home runs
as the Cubs split double bill with
the Phillies. He is now tied at

The pitching OF the Griffs through
this painful losing streak has not
been bad Indeed, it has been gen
orally good, though defeat has fol-
lowed with monotonous regularity.
Failure to hit when runs were pos
sible, sloppy fielding, especially in
the outfield, and failure to run
bases with either judgment or dar.
ing have spoiled many good twirl-
ing exhibitions.
As a background for all this
poor work, the lack of spirit and
aggressiveness is most noticeable.
1t probably explains much of the
other poor playing.
Bucky Harris has not made a hit

CHICAGO, January 12.--With only

showed an early upward trend today.
Predictions were current that less

markets. Bulls contended that even on
a decided advance, the amount of do

TO Chicago is small. and that South
western wheat in particular. because
of it's superior quality, has been well
