Otherwise the first day's track and field competition wus marked by the crowning of three world champions, as follows: (1) Leo Sexton.

Delayed Harvests Re ported in Europe. WASHINGTON,. Aug. 1 (Special) Domestic wheat markets strengthened materially during the week ending July 29 influenced by less favorable prospects for Bprlng wheat both In the U. S. and Canada delayed har vests In Europe and some Improve ment In export demand and relative ly light offerings of cash grain, ac cording to the weekly grain market review of the U. S. bureau of agri culture economics. Feed grains were steady. The advance In wheat and further deterioration of the corn crop in Important producing areas as a re sult of extreme heat and lack of moisture, wero the principal strength. ening factors. Rye and flax were also firmer, Influenced by higher wheat prices. The firmer situation which devel oped In the wheat market during the week was brought about largely by, less favorable prospects for the new North American spring wheat crop. Reports of delayed harvests In Europe as a result of wet weather, some Im provement In security markets and relatively light marketings of domes-, Uc wheat however, were also strength ening factors. Harvesting of winter wheat has been practically completed In the United States and threshing is well along in most areas. Marketings continued light, with receipts at the principal centra! and southwestern markets totaling only 32.102 cars since July 1, compared with 62.507 cars for the corresponding period last year. Harvesting of spring wheat is well along In southern parts of the domestic spring wheat area and threshing returns show good yields and high quality In Northwestern white and hard winter were quoted at caused conslderaole damage to spring wheat during the past two weeks and trade reports Indicate a material re duction in yields and lower quality where moisture reserves were low. The Canadian harvest has begun in Manitoba, where the crop Is maturing rapidly. Prospects are reported still good In Southwestern Alberta and In Central and Northern Albert with the exception of the Peace River val ley and In Central Northern Saskat chewan. In other areas the crop has been given a definite setback as a re sult of the recent hot weather and insuiiicieni current romiau ana in adequate subsoil moisture.

Perfect Balance Needed In Stance By Johnny Farrell (As Told to Artie Mcdovern) A stance which gives perfect con trol of balance is most essential to a golf swing. Any position that causes the body to sway will ruin a shot. Falling away from or Into a shot causes the hooks, slices, topped bails and other bugaboos. The clubhead must come in to the ball on a perfectly straight line and follow through for at least a foot after Impact. When the distance the clubhead travels before Its contact with a small ball Is considered, the need for perfect equilibrium is readily understood.- A variation of a fraction of an Inch will send the clubhead against the ball at an oblique angle, making a straight shot Impossible. Stand up to the ball in a com fortably relaxed position. If you have been hooking or slicing as a result of body swaying, you will find it helpful to put the weight of the body back on the heels Just before you utart the clubhead Into the swing. Japanese baseball players always ermove their caps before addressing an umplro. according to Ray Fisher, University of Michigan football coach. y Are Firmer ened the Winnipeg market and No. 1 Manitoba northern was quoted at that point July 29 at 58(4c, which Is equivalent to 60c in United States currency.
