Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 21-Grain prices
moved upward again cautiously to-
day on the stimulus Of fresh ad-
vance in foreign markets. Although
overnight gains Of almost 2 cents
in wheat and more than a cent in
corn were scored at times, the net
change was held to a slightly mar
rover range, largely as a result OF
hesitancy on the part of buyers.
interpretations of recent reports
from Washington indicating an effort
to discourage large food price profits
were confusing. Failure Of outside
buying to broaden in sympathy with
pronounced strength in wheat and
corn abroad also was disquieting.
A late bullish item was news that
labor troubles in Argentina were
feared. A strike there, traders pointed
out, might prevent grain shipments to
supply the European demand.
Wheat futures purchases yesterday
.totaled 27,o62 900 bushels; corn, 49,
l228,000 bushels. Open interest in
wheat was 100 100000 bushels and in
corn 89,068,000.

NEW YORK, August 21.-Opening
advances in cotton were followed by
moderate reactions today, but after
selling off from 1882 to 13.43 for De-

Reports of continued dry hot

Journeyed Here Together.

IF ANYBODY is to be blamed for
stopping the Nieves and Mascia
fiasco it should be the referee. and
in that instance it would seem Denny
Hughes, who officiated, was justified
in saving the fans the pain Of watch
ing two kids hold and clinch and ex-
change grins in the ring Hughes de-
cision was justified further by revela-
ton, after the fight, that Nieves and
Mascia journeyed from New York to
fight in the same automobile. un-
known to all, including Promoter
Charlie Swan.
Commissioner Vandoren also has
been blamed for the 8-ounce gloves
used here, which is almost too silly for
defense. That 8-ounce gloves must be
used was written into the law by Con-
greSS and Vandoren couldn't change
the weight of the mittS if he wanted
to. They're larger than gloves used
in most States. that's granted, but cut
off that big 3-inch wrist, and. presto.
they're not a whit softer than the most
Furnishing mitt on the market.
If NieveS and MaScia proved inca
pable of throwing those gloves they're
not much of fighters. Boxers who can
throw their fists haven't been stopped
particularly. There was nothing wrong
with Tony Galento's wallop when he
dropped Marty Gallagher three times.
Nor with Joe Knights nor Phil Furr's
nor even Ray Bowen's, who is not even
rated a puncher, but who dropped
Tony Gulotta.
Nor is there anything screwy about
the boxing commission-yet.

Dropped Only Single Scrap.

~ PAPER the fight promises to
~ be a hummer. Petrolle is hit
ter in his own right and both
boys are more or less wide open to a
stiff right-hand wallop. If Furr can
tag Petrolle solidly Frankie should go
down.
Whether Fur can absorb 'em should
be definitely determined against
Petrolle, thus far the best opponent
to face FUR. AS yet Phil has dis
played ability to take punishment.
Furr has gone to the barrier as a
professional ringster IA times. Eleven
of these scraps he won. Two were
draws. The only loss charged to Phil
was in his first moneyed tuSSle when,
with only four days of training, he
dropped a close decision to Johnny
Mays, who was pretty fair scrapper
year ago.
Later Furr, improving rapidly,
turned the tables on Mays and then
went on to whip Lew Raymond and
knock out Roy Manley. The latter
