Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press,

D' SAt hSSOCldIcC FresS.
CHICAGO, May 21.-An outbreak
of selling after midsession today
caused wheat prices to slump almost
2 cents bushel to lows not equaled
here since last November.
Corn tumbled more than 2 cents.
May oats dropped more than cents
and rye and soybeans we're down
also in general reaction of the
market. Oats and rye reached lows
Tor the past several months.
Stop-loss selling was blamed for
the speed of the decline. The mar
ket was very nervous yesterday and
during the first half of todav's
session and brokers attributed much
OF the selling to the favorable crou
picture, scarcity of storage space
and Government moves to press
more wheat into consumption as
iced. The Senate approved a meas
ure authorizing sale of Government
grain at prices below parity.
Wheat closed 7s-1a4 cents lower
than yesterday; May, 1.l7o4-7s:
July, l2014 -3s; corn, 1s-1S.
lower: May. $685.; July, s6ss-l.:
oats, 1875 lower; soybeans, 2It 81,
lower; rye. 1z-7s down.
Just before the close May oats
tumbled the full 5 cents a bushel
loss permitted in one session, clos
Ing at 50l2. This was the last dsy
for trading in May contracts of ali
grains and liquidation of oats was
particularly heavy as a result.

NEW YORK, May 21.-Stocks
with a peace-time rating again held
the principal buying play in today's
market and favorites climbed / to
around points at the best.
While war infants had to trail
along in the rear ranks, few of these
displayed much further weakness
and a number managed TO post
modest advances after initial hesi-
fancy. A little profit taking came
in during the final hour and top
marks were shaded in most cases.
Dealings were lively in the morn
ing, slowing somewhat around mid
day. Transfers of more than 100000
shares, however, we're the largest
since April IA.
Strong victory claims from Russia,
together with the recent optimism
of Washington officials, brokers sug-
gested, still inspired speculative and
investment bullishness for stocks
OF companies that stand TO benefit
particularly if the world conflict
should end sooner than generally
expected. The late wave of dividend
casualties seemed TO have lost much
of its force as a market depressant.
Motors, rubbers, mail orders, gold
mines and a wide assortment of in
dustrial blue chips were prominent
on the early bulge.
New highs for the year were regis
tered for ChrySler, Goodyear, Good
rich, United States Rubber. common
and preferred, and Montgomery
Ward.
Conspicuous on the forenoon ad-
vance were Sears Roebuck, Coca
Cola, J. I. Case, American Tele-
phone, Du Pont, Westinghouse,
Homestake Mining, Dome, PAN
American Airways, Union Carbide,
j. c. Penney, Woolworth and United

majority of aircrafts remained in

Bond Market Eases.
The bond market continued under
mild pressure, leading issues falling
back for losses of fractions to a
point or more. Going into the final
hour few utilities contested the
trend.

Forecasts Post Rush
By the Associated Press.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Nav 2l.-
Juan T. Trippe. president of Pan
American Airways, told stockholders
today he believed gross revenues
would increase tremendously after
the war despite competition from
foreign lines.
Il cannot help but believe it will
be the policy of the United States
Government after the war to main
tain our international air services
at least on comparable basis with
that of foreign countries" Trippe
said at the company's annual
meeting.
L feel we will always be able to
maintain position at least equal
with foreign companies"
Trippe said Pan Americans first
duty was its contribution to the
war effort and the company's avail

larger extent each month.

COMPO, lANNOTTI
 AT ARENA AUG. l2

New Haven, Aug. 5-Two of the most pleasing fighters in New Eng land = Joe Iannotti and Johnny Compo, local featherweight rivals clash in a ten-round return bout at the Arena on Wednesday night, Aug. 18th, Matchmaker George Sheppard has announced.
 It will be the fourth meeting of this pair of gamecocks. Compo won ten-round decision in the last meeting after some torrid fighting, but the decision was an unpopular one.
 In the other scraps, Compo took the duke in ten, and they went to a draw in the first meeting which was an eight-rounder.
 All bouts drew large crowds, and with the dispute after the most re- cent meeting. and the fine showing by Iannotti, the forthcoming fray should provide the best in action. Iannotti is going all out for . knockout win, as he proved he can punch by belting out Curley Nichols and Johnny Cockfield. Joey is slated to enter Uncle Sam's fighting forces in the near future, and he wants to get revenge over the dErab.e Com DO before he dons a uniform.
 There will be four other hne bouts on the undercard.

Dolarl and Dougherty to Box Moore, Roache at RIG Stadium Friday

Fresh from a technical knockout win over Rego Dell of Scranton, Irish Eddie Dolan, local Welter- weight star, will go back into &C., tion Friday night when he clashes with Larney Moore, hard hitting New York negro, in one of two eight round bouts at Randolph Cloves Stadium.
 Dolan had been idle for several months when he boxed Dell on the opening outdoor card of the sea- son two weeks ago but looked bet ter than ever after the layof. How ever he will be in against young CT and harder hitting foe in Moore, a recent Golden Gloves graduate.
 Larney is regarded as one of New York City's best club fighters in the 147-pound division and is also well liked in New Haven where he re- gently knocked out Dick Fuller. Moore also has wins over Jimmy Bell, Red Doty, Marty King and Milo Theodorescu.
 Promising
 Matt Dougherty, Milwaukee Irish lightweight, who was unable to box last week because of cut eye, will take on Willie Roache, hard hitting Wilmington, Del, negro, in the sec ond eight rounder on the card.
 Dougherty. who plans to make Waterbury his home, has kayo wins over such well known lightWeights as Joe DuPont, Sixto Morales, Joey Raymond, Armando Sicilia. Matt holds decisions over Gene Ward, Sammy Scully, Al Gomez, Charles Eschman, Chino Lopez and Billy Parsons.
 Roache made big hit last week when he belted out Angelo Con- zales and his bout with Dougherty is attracting widespread interest as the latter is also reputed to be a slugger.
 The supporting card will be an- nounced later.

West Haven, Aug. IA record crowd of amateur boxing fans will view the l2-bout program arranged by Matcmaker Dick Gray for the White City Stadium, Savin Rock to- night, starting at 8:30. Tn the main attraction, two undefeated light weights, Freddie Coppola of Stam- ford, and Bobby Morgan, Manches- ter southpaw, will clash. A team of five glovers hailing from the Bowery section of New York Will ind places on the card.

over the St. Louis Cardinals las week may lead to change of plans for next season.
 The game was won for Brooklyn in two innings-the third and fifth All seven Brooklyn tallies resulted from home runs in those sessions In the third frame, Dixie Walker l drove a four-bagger against the up- per right field stands, scoring Whit Wyatt and Pee Wee Reese before him. And in the fifth, Dolph Ca milli blasted out his 17th homer of the season with the bases loaded for four runs.
 The Giants, too, used the home run to register their opening tally in the fourth inning, when Babe Young inspired a three-run rally by driving a four bagger into the lower right field stands with nc one aboard. Then an error, single ard double accounted for two more runs.
 But amid the drama of home runs there was the unfinished story o1 Van Lingle Mungo, whom the Giants had obtained recently from Minne- | apoliS, of the American Association after he had been shunted to the minors by a completely dissatisfied Brooklyn outfit.
 Hoping to obtain crowd that would approach 10000, the relief game officials had played up the return of Mungo in a game against his former Dodger mates. But Murgo proved to be the victim of the clash. In four and two-thirds innings, the big right-hander was found for seven hits and seven runs. In the dressing room after the game, Van Mungo said:
 Those Dodgers are just plain lucky, al lthe way through. Honestly don't think they are a great club They just get thc 5~e2kc" Van Mungo, apparently dlsgusted pushed the mop of black hair back from his brow and said:
 "I'll be up against those babies again, and it'll be different story Maybe it won't be this season, but anyway wait until next year when those old men of the Dodgers are through.
 He added:
 My arm felt fine, and wasn't tired when they took me out. Those Dodgers just got the breaks"
 Regardless of who made the early runs, Manager Mel Ott of the Giants was positive that the Giants would have won the ball game had the contest been permitted to continue its full nine innings. He said Mungo would be big help before the sea- son ended.
 At the time the game was called the Giants had two men on base Billy Werber on second and Mel Ott on first--as the result of a single and a walk. Baba Young, a dan- gerous batter in such a situation was due to go to the plate, but he never reached 1t.
 The contest has famed the flames of feud between the Giants anc Dodgers. Perhaps the ninth inning argument will help to bring about a re-play. Meanwhile, officials oi the two clubs are trying to detre- mine just how much over $75,00t the gate will go to add to the SEA- GOO which baseball already has con- | tributed to the war effort.

However, the early returns for the Special alone showed that the race had drawn 9 nominations, with more doubtless on the way.
 Midland To Run
 The nominations already received include Challendon, which won the Narargansett Special of 1899 and finished second to Hash in the 194O renewal. Challedon is reported to be rapidly reaching his peak in train ing at Saratoga. Another important nomination to the Special is that of Charles s. Towards Midland, mar hoW-headed son of Mic d'Arezzo, which has just returned to train ing and should be fully up to such a grueling race as the Special by Sep tember 12. Midland has defeated many of the greatest horses in the country in the past few years.
 Alsab, winner of the historic Preakness, heads the 3-year -olds that are named in the Special, al- though Founders rates high up on the list in his age division because of his recent victory over Whirl- away. The Valdina Farm has also named the 3-year- old Valdina Or plan to accompany Founders to the post. The Orphan suffered a hoof injury last Saturday but 1t should be fully healed by the time the Spe- cial is decided. Apache is another hard hitting 3-year-old that has been nominated.
 Other nominations include the nations outstanding Ally, Vagrancy; Swing and Sway, which has been placed in many of the richest stakes of the season; the improving Blue Pair and other such highly regarded thoroughbreds as Our Boots, Haltal, Robert Morris and Corydon.

Hartford, Aug. 5 - Taking but one day off after his TKO victory over Mexican Joe Silva, unbeater Willie Pep of this city has started training for his Tuesday, August Il bout with Pedro Hernandez The New England featherweight champ faces the Puerto Rican sensation in ten-rounder at Bulkeley Stadium here.
 Hernandez is the No. ? challenger to the featherweight title of the world possessed by Chalky Wright who is slated to defend his crown in September bout with Lulu Costan- tino. Pedro whipped Costantino six weeks ago and, as far as most of the fans and majority of the news papermen at ringside were con- cerned, repeated two weeks ago; though Constantine got what was an unpopular decision.
 So, if Pep gets by Hernandez he stands a good chance of advancing in his quest for national recognition Wee Willie has commanded some attention with his string of 45 vic- tories, run up recently at the ex- pense of Spider" Armstrong, Joey Archibald and Abe Denner, all ex- champs now.

Manager Does Splendid Job
 At Fort Worth
By POP BOONE Sports Editor, Fort Worth Press Written for NEA Service)

Fort Worth, Aug. 4.-Down in this neck of the well-known tim- Der, sports fans are wondering how a determined gent like Rogers Hornsby st!ll is 8 refugee from the Big Show.
 Rajah is rated as wizard, nothing less, for fashioning a pretty good Texas league ball club from free agents and pulling 1t by It's bootstrapS into second place in the loop.
 Hornsby had a couple of fair veteran right-handers and cork ing center-fielder when he took over the joint job of general and playing manager of the Fort Worth Cats last winter. Now, in mid- season, he has built around that nucleus with boys somebody else didn't want.
 HORNSBY MAKES
 DANA A PITCHER
 Only the center fielder remains from the actual gardeners on the spring squad, and he has been moved to left field. Most of the pitching staff Hornsby had this spring is on the job, but 1t has been augmented by one of the holdover outfielders Hank Dana, the pure-bred Hawaiian.
 Dana is the sensation of the Texas league. He was slowed down to a walk and obscured in a utility role. Having a strong right arm, he filled in as 'batting-practice pitcher and soon had the Cat bats men moaning.
 Thrown in as a relief hurler against Beaumont, the junior edi- tion of the Detroit Tigers, he stood them on their heads. An- other good relief stint convinced The Rajah and Dana drew a starting berth.
