The La Grande Eagles baseball team evened up Its count with the Elgln'town team yesterday afternoon af the High school field before an en- tjiuslastio crowd by chalking up a 13 to 4 victory over the visitors. The first meeting of these two clubs In Aine resulted In an 6 to 7 victory fjpr Elgin. The features of yesterday's game were the stellar pitching of Ohuck Wilson and a four-base clout by Hall. f Hall, who started In the mound for the Eagles, was too wild to be effective against the Elgin batsmen, lie allowed three hits In the two frames he pitched and gave three ffree tickets to first base ponnlttlng tho visitors to tally four tlmos. Wll iph took over the mcruid duties at tie beginning of the third canto and fpr the ensuing seven Innings de cisively whitewashed tho Elgin club. Be permitted but two hits. Only five Elgin batsmen reached first base JL.... ..... while Wilson was on the mound j, Ray Knezevlch, although hit fre quently, hurled a good game for the visiting nine although his team gave aim but ragged support. (The first two Innings of the garo were free-scoring affairs. Elgin tal lied one In their half of the first lining due to two walks glvon by Jail and two errors by his teom ates. The Eagles came back In the second half with three runs. Hall singled, Evans followed with a blngle sina com scored on rosey s wree iegger along the left field foul line. Foeeyi scored when Tucker bobbled Wilson's grounder to third. In the rst of the second canto Elgin went liitb the lead again by virtue of three jilts and a walk, but the Eagles took the lead In the second half with a duplication of the first Inning score. Cochran walked, Courtney singled, the former scored on Don Wilson's fly . to deep left field. Courtney scored en Evans' single, and Evens scored on Posey's three-bagger. The Eagles tallied again in the fourth when Hall clouted a sizzling drive to deep center field for a homer, and put the game on Ice in the seventh when Chuck fVllson, Cochran, Courtney and Wlck lander tallied, J More Games Scheduled 'Wednesday and Friday evenings of tbls-sreek the Eagles plan to tangle with two local teams.

Tex Carleton spaced seven Vines' head rested uneasily under the jCub hits In the opener and Dizzy American crown as he surveys that field. Cochet, of course, will be his hardest hurdle. The little French man is dangerous at any time and he has the added Incentive of want ing to atone for the defeat he suf fcred at Vines' hands In the final match of Davis cup play. ' t It was his first defeat In five years' defense of the Davis cup and his friends say ho felt it keenly. That was tho final incident which led to his decision to make the Ameri can Invasion this year, a trip long planned but almost abandoned. - Whoever wins the title, he will have a hard row to hoe getting to the throne seat. On ony given after noon Shields, Wood. Oledlilll, John Van Ryn, Wilmer Allison, Satoh, Ku wabnna, Austin or Perry are very likely to beat whoever goes against them. He'll Ittnncmhcr Shields Cochet probably still has mem ories of tho tall, gangling 18-ytfiir-old who faced him across the net In the semi-finals of the 1028 play and by sheer power carried him to 8-6 In the second sot before los ing. That was Shields, at that time the most promising of tho younger American players. Vines hns come along since to take number one rank, but some day Shields mhy be able to conquer that nervousness which ties up his mjuseles before evory Important mntoh and seldom; wears off until too late. Kuwabnra is a newcomer to the United States, but Satoh has ployed hero before, when Japan competed In the American zone of Davis cup ploy, Kuwabnra Is the prosent cham pion of Japan and had a better Dovls cup record this yenr than his better known countrymnn.

Aus tin Is a stylist but without the physique to withstand the battering ho must take from a Vines, a Lott or a Shields. Perry Is potentially the more dangerous of the two but ho hos a bad fault of paying too much atten tion to tho gallery and losing his poise at critical' moments. With the Olympics attracting the pick of world athletes in most other sports It seems appropriate that the united states this year also will entertain tho pick of the world's ten nis players.

National Teams In Red Hot Race For 1932 Flag By Herbert W. Barker (Associated Press Sports Writer) Whatever the scientific lmprobabtl ltV two or more objects occupying tne same Plftao at tne 681113 tlmc- the eight clubs of the National league are busily trying to demonstrate that It can be done. WIth the nd ot tne season only six weeks away, the clubs are so closely bunched that an attempt to pick the winner can be classed as pure suicide, Chicago's Cuba still lead the parade but thelr margin over the Pittsburgh Pirates is only half a game with the Brooklyn Dodgers another game and a ha" to the bad. The Phillies, I Boston Braves and St. Louis Cardinals 'llow at such brief Intervals that 'the Cardinals are only six games out of 'lrst place. ' Cub8 Lose Ground The Cubs lost valuable gtound yes- terday as they surrendered two games Dean gave up only six In, the night- cop and Btruck out eight men, six In a row. .Brooklyn, driving ahead toward the lead, marked time for the day . by splitting two games .with the New York Giants, winning tho first, 2-1, in 10 innings and dropping the sec ond, 8-4. Johnny Frederick sot up a new major league record when ho clouted a home run In a plnch-hlt-tcr's role for the fourth timto this season, Frederick's homer, coming with two out In the ninth frame of the first game, tied the score and the Dodgers then won the battle In tho next framje. Thq Giants mnuted three Dodger pitchers for 13 hits to win tho second game. Reds Trample Braves The Cincinnati Reds, In last place but only 13 gomes out of the lead, mowed over the Boston Braves twice, 3-1 and 8-3, getting excellent pitch ing from Red Lucas and SI Johnson. The New York Yankees Btretchcd their American league lead to nine games by whipping Washington, 5-4, Lefty Gomez won his 20th victory of the season although he was knocked out of the box In tho ninth when a Senator rally fell one run short of tying the score. . Tho Philadelphia Athletics clubbed out a 8-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox In the first game as Jtmmie Foxx hit his 43d homer but Johnny Welch pitched the Sox to a 2-0 shut out in the nightcap, allowing eight scattered hits. Tom Bridges stopped tho Cleveland Indians with five hits and drove In two runs as Detroit won a 3-0 tri umph that dropped the Indians an other half game behind tho Ath letics. .

Jt-H .31)4 J7)4 J714 DOMESTIC GRAIN MART UNSETTLED DURING THE WEEK Pacific Coast Wheat Firm er Than in Eastern Points Lighter Yield is the Reason. WASHINGTON. Aug. 16 Domestic grain markets were very unsettled during the week ending Aug. 12. Prices fluctuated rather sharply, but a) the close of the period most of the gains made early in the week had been offset by later declines, accord ing to the weekly grain market re view of the U. S. bureau of agricul tural economics. Advances In cotton and security markets, further damage to North American spring wheat by drought and heat, -and reduced offer ings of southern hemisphere grain, were the principal strengthening fac tors In the wheat market. These were largely offset by continued European -lack of Inquiry for American wheat and the official estimate of a larger domestlo spring wheat outturn than was generally expected In trade cir cles. Corn strengthened with wheat, but declined towards the close of th3 period, under heavy country offerings. Oat prices ' remained higher than a week ago. Barley markets were bare ly Bteady at the close of the period. Rye was lower under the Influence uf a light demand for the heavy receipts and prospects of Increased outturns both In the U. 6. and Canada. Flax waa firmer and prices advanced lc to 20 per bu. with prospects of reduced yields. A domestic wheat crop about 172, 000,000 bushels smaller than last .sea son was Indicated by the Aug. 1 esti mate, which placed the 1032 crop at 722.687,000 bushels. Of this total, 244.831,000 buBhels la hard red wlnte. 146,653,000 bushels soft red winter, 101.913,000 bushels hard red spring, other than Durum, 62,175,000 bushel Durum, and 87,115,000 bushels winter and spring white wheats. The winter wheat outturn Is only a little over half that of last season, while the spring wheat harvest Is nearly three times that of 1031. No estimate Is yet available of tht Canadian spring wheat crop, but the condition at the end of July waa of ficially estimated at 88 per cent of the long time average and the acreage was placed at 27,099,000 acres, or nearly a million acres over the area harvested In 1931. The fall wheat crop In Canada was placed at 14,365,- 000 bushels. Weather In the prairie provinces since the first of August has continued hot and dry, and fur ther deterioration has taken place in Southern Saskatchewan and parts of Alberta. Harvesting In general In Manitoba and wheat Is half cut In the earliest districts. Estimates and forecast of produc tion In 23 Continental European countries, which last year represented 97 per cent of the European crop, exclusive, of Russia, give a total pro duction this season of 1,400,000,000 bushels compared with 1,403,000,000 bushels harvested in tho same coun tries lost year. Stem rust has spread rapidly In the Danube basin and a large part of the Crop Is reported to be of unusually poor quality. Pro duction In the surplus areas of Eur ope Is only about two-thirds as large as last season, but the crops in nor mally deficient areas are well above the 1931 harvest. No Russian Estimate No estimate is yet available for the Ru&slan wheat crop, but winter wheat prospects have been reduced by ex-, cesslve heat in North Caucasus and parts of the Ukraine. Trade reports indicate also that yields of spring wheat will probably be below aver age. Harvesting has been delayed and the July procurings were only about 46 per cent of the plan. Trade reports of the Russian exportable surplus this season range from 36,000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels. This compares with 70,500,000 bushels exported last year, and about 06,000,000 bushels two years ago. Of about equal significance with crop outturns are remaining stocks of old wheat. World wheat stocks Aug. wore somewhat under those of a year ago, with an Increase in the U. more than offset by smaller stocks in other areas. Tie carryover of old wheat In the U. S. July 1, 1932 readi ed a new high record of 362,568.000 bushels and was about 44.0v0.000 bushels larger than July 1 a year ago. Stocks of wheat remaining in Can ada at the close of July totaled 130,- 949,000 bushels compared with a re vised figure of 134,079,000 bushels a year ago. In addition to tho do- ( mcstlc stocks In the U. 8. and Can ada there were 15,364.000 bushels of Canadian grain in store In the U. S. , and 4,707,000 bushels of U. S. grain ! In store In Canada at the first of August. Southern hemisphere stock ! are apparently considerably under thoso at the corresponding date last! year, with exportable stocks as of Aug. 1 placed at 76,619,000 bushels or about 28,000.000 bushels less than a year ago. Argentine stocks are about 9,000,000 bushels less and Australian stocks about 19,000,000 bushels less than a year ago. Data on stocks of old wheat In other areas are Incom plete, but from such Information as Is available It appears that supplies of old wheat in European exporting areas and remaining exportable stocks in India and North Africa at the first Low PRICED beyond all comparison! .

Pacific coast wheat markets were firmer than those at eastern points, with continued light reports by growers the principal strengthening factor. Receipts at Pacific north western terminals totaled only 705 cars for the week, compared with 1, 030 cars for the corresponding week last, year. Harvesting and threshing of winter wheat. 13 well advanced and some spring grain was cut during the week. Demand from local domestic mills was fairly active and exporters were taking fair amounts, although prevailing prices were above export bids. Exports of wheat and flour from Columbia river and Puget Sound terminals during July were the light est for that month since 1925 and totaled only 1,639,000 bushels.
