Old Timers Win From Eagles In Sunday Tilt, 8-2 ' After having bis local Old Timers baseball team beaten by tbe Eaglea three games In succession, BUI Work man, captain of the squad, scoured the countryside last week and got together an aggregation of All Stars that put the trimmings on the Eaglea team yesterday afternoon by a score of s to 2. Both teams played a fine brand of baseball before a good-sized crowd. Lewis, pitcher from Bummerrllle, waa the outstanding star of tbe game. He pitched, the entire nine frames for the AU Stars and set the Eagles down with but four hits Hall's three-bag ger in tne first inning; nelson's sin gle In the fourth; Posey's single In the fifth; and Hartman's home run over deep center field ln the eighth frame. Lewis fanned eight Esglea and kept them hitting easily fielded balls to bis lnfleldera who gave him stellar support. -: Hal started on the mound for the Eagles but was forced to retire In the second when tbe All Stars found him for five hits and four earned runs. Chuck Wilson then took over the mound duties and allowed but six hits during the ensuing seven frames and but four runs. Both Hall and Wilson were considerably handicap ped with sore arms, it Is said, "Red" Courtney waa scheduled to hurl for the Eagles but was unable to get Into the game; The Eagles worked on a signal sys tem during yesterday's game ln prep aration for the coming clash with the House of David whiskered team here neit Monday afternoon. - One play that worked out nicely was Posey's sacrifice In the first- frame to score Hall who was on third by virtue of a three-bagger. Letting the first ball go for a called strike, Posey neatly bunted the second thrown ball Into the dirt along the third base line. Hall was more than half way In when the ball was hit and although the play at home was made for him he was easily safe. Posey reached first on the play. ' Twice during the game men reached third and lack of attention to sig nals on the part of base-runners or failure of battera to eigne! their next plays were responsible for put-outo. ; Box score: Eagles - AD R H PO A Hail, p 4 1110 Evans, 3b .- 4 0 0 2 3 iosey, o Nelson, lb H Nichols, ' s C.

Grain Markets Show Weakness On Slow Demand WASHINGTON, Aug. 32 Domestic grain markets remained unsettled during the week ending August 10, but weakness predominated toward the dose of the period, with prices mostly below a week ago, according to the weekly grain market review 01 xne U. S. bureau of agricultural econom lei. A continued dull demand fea tured tbe markets for both bread and feed grains. Receipt of wheat were relatively light, but with tho lack of an export outlet, offerings were easily sufficient for current trade re quirements. A continued slack snip ping inquiry for feed grains weakened the corn, oats and barley markets, despite only moderate offerings. Rye was featureless and mostly followed wheat. Flax was Independently firm under the influence of unfavorable prospects for late-sown fields and fair crusher demand for current of ferings of seed. No outstanding changes occurred in the general wheat market situation during the week. Preliminary esti mates of. northern hemisphere wheat crops indicate outturns about equal to last season. World wheat stocks, which have held at high levels since the abnormally large accumulations in 1920, have been reduced and at the first of August this season showed below those of a year ago. The record North American stocks appear to be more than offset by reductions In other areas, particularly ln Continen tal Europe, where Buppllcs are report ed at a minimum. ; Pacific coast wheat markets were weak, but price declines were less marked v than at Eastern points, Threshing became general over East ern Washington during the wee with yields below earlier expectations but quality about equal to average. Mar ketlngs remained relatively light, with receipt .at Puget Sound and Columbia river terminals totaling only 764 cars, compared with 1.201 cars for the cor responding week last year. In addition to the car receipts, over 37,000 bush els of wheat were received at Portland by river boat and nearly 17,000 iush els by truck. Demand was fairly ac tive from local mills but Inquiry for export grades was rather dull. No export Bales of either wheat or flour were reported during the week since local prices were several cents above current export bids. At the close of the market Aug. 19, B.
