Grain circles noted that the wheat
market advances despite the after harvest
movement of both winter and spring
wheat and the rise of $ cent busel

Northwest traders reported that cash

wheat for the Commodity Credit Cor

Oats moved within a narrow range

BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Aug. 81. tUP)-
The big question in cracker barrel
baseball today is: Will Buck Harris
or Joe Mccarthy guide the All-Star
team in Africa this autumn?
Baseball's gossips insist that Har-
riS, former manager OF the SEN
ators, Tigers and Phillies, will be
the man chosen as pilot because he
is so we'll liked by Magnates, play
ers and neWspapermen. Moreover,
he is independently wealthy. And
the baseball owners do not care to
have their pilots traipsing danger
ously about the Mediterranean area
when they should be polishing their
squads for next seasons play
MOST SUCCESSFUL
Those favoring Mccarthy claim
he is the most successful manager
in major league history, having
won eight pennant titles since he
came UP to the majors. This in
cludes his national league flag with
the Cubs in 1929-he lost in that
world series to the athletics-and
his seven subsequent pennants in
the American division as manager
of the Yankees.
During most of McCarthy's Ten
ure, his critics charge, he was help
ed greatly by president Ed Barrow
and George Weiss, head of the
Yankee farm system. Those as
sists could have been true until
this season. Then it was that Nc
Carthy proved himself the master
manager, despite anything that
might happen to his assistants.
On May 27 the Yanks had SUI
fered their fifth straight defeat,
putting them in third place, be-
hind the Washington and Cleve-
land clubs. On July 3, midway in
the season, the Yanks were in first
place, half-game ahead of Wash
ington. And at that time the last
place Philadelphia Athletics were
only 6A games behind
Many of the experts were
shouting that the Yankees had
cracked up. And they were offer
ing condolences to Marse Joe. But
he was not interested in condol-
ences. He again wrapped his slip
ping squad into winning unit, as
he had done SO many times before.
Joe and his Athletes trained at
the seashore-in Asbury Park, N. Y.

cards from their son ''Tex" who

cards are similar in effect, with
statements printed on them I'M

Gates that his health is excellent,
mot under treatment; well and
sends love to the family and re-
CARDS to his friends. While happy
at the thought that he is still
alive, his parents are not exactly
pleased that he is a prisoner of

Philippines when Pearl Harbor

Berry and Fruit Crops
Below Normal in 1913

Growers of the Is fruits and
berries listed in Food Distribution
Order No. 50 should be reminded
that winners and other persons
who wish to use any of the listed
fruits and berries for an alcoholic
product containing per cent or
more by volume of alcohol must
obtain authorization for such use
from the County War Board in
the county in which the fruit is
available for sale.
Reason for the restriction is to
encourage the use of the specified
fruits for canning, freezing and
processing into jams, jellies and
preserves for our armed forces
and civilian population. Indica-
tons are that the 1913 crop of
fruits and berries will be below
normal according to the War Food
Administration.
Since the terms of the order
place the responsibility for proper
use of each lot Of fruit not only
on the professor but also on the
grower, growers should assure
themselves that the prospective
purchaser has obtained the neces-
sary authority for conversion into
an alcoholic product before MAX
ing a sale for that purpose.
Full details of the program are
available at all County War
Board offices.
