Terry Called Him Too Slow.
Young Buddy, next to Cleveland's
Bob Feller, probably is the most
envied youngster in base ball by
American youth. The attitude is that
Lewis was lucky to be able to step into
the majors a bare year out of Ameri-
can Legion base ball. But within the
short space of time it took Buddy to

\ ~ 2.-The Nationals. who
wv suspected they were play
ing too much ball, dis
covered that a two-day lay-on hurt
rather than helped. 1t cost a decision
to the Chattanooga "farmhands" to
find this out.
Invading Sanford for the first game
OF a four day road trip yesterday, the
Griffs dropped a 5-to-4 thriller to
their minor-league cousins and, IN
doing so, proved soft pickings for a
trio of Clyde Milan's young pitchers.
Peck Banner, Kirby Hayes and Joe
Haines held the Mats to six hits, while
the Lookouts made good use OF the
seven bases on balls handed out by
Buck Newsom in five innings and
swung for timely hits against Eddie
Linke.
A twin source Of Joy, however, was
forthcoming in the performances OF
Outfielder Howard MacFarland and
Pitcher Hayes Of Chattanooga. Mac
Farland was the best outfelder in the
park yesterday and put ideas into the
heads of Manager Bucky Harris and
President Clark rifith. They have
access to him any time they wish to
exercise an option. Hayes, southpaw,
also was impressive, pitching three
runless and hitless innings.
Today the Mats were to play the
Phillies here and thel move to Tampa,
where they will play Cincinnati on
Saturday. A game with Detroit at
Lakeland on Sunday will wind up the
jaunt.
Jake Early, the ex-Nat rookie, did
nothing to discourage Manager Bucky
Harris. He caught for the Chatta-
noogas, and while not impressive at
bat, Jake handled the pitchers well
and exhibited a great throwing arm.
He seems destined to make the grade

Buddy Risks His Rep.

ONE Nat who spoke his piece when
~ the poll was taken was Buddy
Lewis, who modestly confesses to some
success as prognosticator.
II picked our team to finish fourth
last year." said Buddy, beaming. II
don't mind saying what I'm writing on
this ballot. I think we're going to
finish first.
I'm risking quite reputation as
a picker" he grinned. Last Fall
made seven different bets on the
world series between the Yanks and
Giants and I collected all seven. I
can't fall down this time and I don't
think will. Too many things can
happen in base ball and especially to
an old club like the Yanks."
Anyway, there you are. If confidence
Is half the battle, the Griffs are going
to run second and, mayhap, have a
look in for the flag.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,

NEW YORK, June IA steady
upward revision in estimates of prob
able future supplies of many staples
pushed commodity prices further
down this week from recovery peaks
touched two months ago.
Rated by most analysts the most
important factor in the dip, rainfall
over the parched areas in the Middle
West continued heavy during the
period.
Crops look greatly improved to ex-
perts swinging through the Missis-
sippi Valley. They reported substan-
tlal increases in harvests were prob
able compared with earlier estimates.
Cotton sold off sharply as rain
drenched Texas fields that had pre-
Siously been extremely dry. Although
no official estimates were available.
some commodity men visuaiized
$500 000-bale increase over the 1886
season.
Other agricultural products also
slumped. Rye set the pace with an
1l-cent per bushel drop. Corn was
right behind, down more than cents.
Oats slipped moderately.
Wheat Gains Slightly.
Wheat, on the other hand, chalked
up a slight gain on reports of black
rust in some sections. The probable
Winter wheat outturn, however,
hovered about the $4,000, 900 -bushel
mark on June l, unchanged from the
preceding month.

modify prices fell to within a frac-
tlon OF the years low, to 1857 per
cent Of the 1925 average, compared
with $3.50 last week and 7l.9l

Every component group declined.
There were II staples in the loss
column, only advanced.
Live stock quotations weakened as
supplies continued heavy, measured in
terms of somewhat curtailed de-
mand. Only lamb with maketings
running at low level, moved up
against the tide. Hogs and cattle
were both lower.
Industrial Prices Ease.
Industrial demand for staples was
again light and prices eased. Rubber,
turpentine, burlap, linseed oil. anti
mony and tin were marked down.
Only bituminous coal and lumber
strengthened.
Textiles sank to new low ground
Tor the year. Wool and cotton cloth
dipped on reports of higher produc-
lion schedules in mills despite stable
stocks in distributors hands. Silk,
however, registered a small upturn.
Food prices hit a new low, estab-
