CANES PROVE POOR MAscoTs

A memoer oI the St. Louis Browns is carrying can in train ing camp In itself this is no novelty for a baseball player. Chief Bender, great pitcher of the old Athletics, carried walking stick and wore a morning coat, but for player of the Browns to wear a cane is out of the ordinary There is reason. The St. Louis team swept a series with the Senators at Washington last year and half the team at once bought canes. They twirled them jauntily as they moved on to Philadelphia to play the Athletics. The As won the first game and half the canes were smashed. Connie Mack's lads took the second and there was not a walking stick to be found in the baggage of the Browns. At that the canes were not entirely to blame, for the home team took two more games after the last stick had been broken.

TAMPA, Fla, March 16. = The Washington Senators may not win the American League pennant but they're sure to be a great drawing card.
 The reason is that Walter John son is back with the Senators and that Nick Altrock, baseballs favor ite clown, is starting off in mid season form.
 These two celebreties of the na- tional pastime have been fixtures swith the Washington fans, as well as with the fans throughout the , circut, for the greater part of the last 20 years.
 The Big Train was with the Sen ators for q years until last sea- son. He was released then to man. age the Newark club of the Inter national League. He is back this year as manager of the club for which he pitched more than two

FOOTBALL PLAYERS
 FIND BASEBALL HARD

Release ot Larry Bettencourt by the St. Lou-s Browns to Milwau- kee of the American association removes another great football player, at least temporarily, from the major leagues. Bettencourt has had difficulty in determining what position he should play. He came up to the majors as a catcher but the ball players said he was a boxer" term applied to the catchers who fight the ball. Then he tried third base and later had a fling at the cutfield.
 The St. Mary's star started out hitting at a terrific clip and fell away to a final 283 With Mil waukee lie may find himself and with steady play at one position will have a chance to again try for the top
 Football players have not had a great uedl Ol LUCK III UdocDdll. Ernie Meyers was sent to the Pa cific Coast league after trial with the Browns and Bruce Cald- we'll the great Yale back, was a dismal failure with Cleveland. Hin key Haines and Glenn Killinger were better at football than base ball. The case of Jim Thorpe stands out. The sturdy Indian, generally accepted as the greatest football player of all time, was al- ways just on the verge of making good in baseball. If the curve ball had not been invented the Sac and Fox star probably would have found his problem easier.
 The Athletics have a great foot ball player in Redman Hume, the Southern Methodist star, but his football reputation will not be suf- ficient to win him major league place.

BURG IS ALASKA CHAMPS AT BASKETBALL
Wins Third Game at Fair banks W Which Is Hard
 Fought Start, Finish

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, March 16.- The Petersburg basketball five an- nexed the High School Basketball championship of Alaska last night in torrid but clean game by a score of 15 to 20.
 The big guns of the Petersburg attack proved too much for the lighter and less experienced Fair banks five who fought well through he early stages of the game but were forced to give way as the hot pace continued.
 The locals took an early lead which narrowed to 10 to 9 at the end of the first half From that time, Petersburg forged steadily ahead.
 Runstand was high coast man with Is points. Butrovich, of Fair banks, made nine points.
 The silver basketball trophy was presented to Petersburg after the game.
 The scores of the other two games were: Fairbanks 16, Peters burg II; Fairbanks IT, Petersburg 19.

decades.
 In the old days Nick and Walter took their regular turn on the mound, for, believe it or not, Nick once was a player who took his game seriously That was twenty years ago. Nick was off and on with Washington from 1909 to 1919. During that time he was classed as a pitcher.
 He served as a Senator hurler during 909, 1912, 1913, 1915, 1918 and 1919. Since then the funny one has drawn his pay as a coach, but his main business has been to en- certain the fans and, of course, keep his teammates in good spirits.
 They're a great combination, are the Big Train and Nick, and if there's anything in hard work they will have the Senators in the pen nant race from the start

NEW YORK, April 9.-However
much we may wish to give promi-
nence in market activities to con-
structive developments, and these
are many, it must be conceded that
the market is in no state to reflect
them. AS an example of this, yes
terday the Chesapeake g. Ohio de-
Cision, one of considerable impor-
lance from many angles, caused
only a slight ripple in prices, while
the unfavorable decision in the
traction case developed q severe
break in those issues and general
weakness throughout the list. In
other words. good news appears to
have been discounted and adverse
developments are the motiYating
force. The overnight news carries
nothing new. The speculative atti-
tude of the moment is to reduce
commitments and this plan, we be-
lieye, should be adhered to for the
present.

PRICE HIGHER
Corn and Oats Also Make
Good Gains: Weather
DisCouraging.
RN nitcN PrcHX

CHICAGO, April 9.-Encouraged
by higher markets at Liverpool and
Buenos Aires, commission houses
continued active buyers of wheat
here today. Corn and oats followed
wheat for good gains.
Al the opening. wheat was Is cent
to IA cent higher, corn was up Is
cent to q cent and oats we're 4
cent to q cent higher. Provisions
we're unchanged to shade lower.
AS wheat passed from an oversold
to a we'll liquidated position in the
rapid advance, traders are not look
ing for market to continue its gains
unless favored with exceptionally
bullish news. Weather in Europe
is unseasonably cold and fear is be-
ing expressed for fruit and grain
crops Temperatures were low over
the domestic wheat belt today.
Corn traders are in a bulliSh
frame of mind because Of the light
country offering, and expectation of
sharp reductions in supplies COIN
cident with the opening of lake
navigation.
The big decrease in visible sup
plies of oats and farm relief talk
has brought important support to
the futures market. Delayed seed
ing is keeping the new crop months
strong.
