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. ;

By Herbert W. Barker
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Wesley Cheek Ferrell, tall, husky
North Carolinian, has chalked up his
20th victory of the season, the first
pitcher ln major league history to
win 20 or more games ln his first
four full seasons In the big leagues.
The Cleveland right-hander won 21
games and lost 10 ln his first full
season with the Indians, In 1939; won
35 and lost 13 In 1930, and 23 and
13 last year.
His 20th triumph of the current
campaign was gained yesterday over
the Washington Senators, 11-5, ln a
looeely-played game in which 16
passes were given. Ferrell went the
route although he was walloped for
11 hits and gave six walks. Brown
and Edelen, Senator hurlers, handed
out nine free tickets.
Yanks Gain
The New York Yankees Btretched
their American league lead to 1014
games over the Idle Philadelphia Ath
letics by beating the St. Louts Browns ,
3-1. Each team made only three
hits but the Yankees bunched all of

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. B. blueatem
hard white was quoted at Portland ax
62c, soft and western white at Doc,
hard winter, northern spring and
western red at 64c per bushel sacked,
baats No. 1. No. 1 dark hard winter,
12 per cent protein, sold at 68c per
bu., sacked.' No. 1 hard white was
quoted at Seattle at 62c, western
white and western red at 55c, sacked.
No. 1 basis. No. 1 - dark northern
spring, - 16 per cent protein, from
Montana Was quoted' ln bulk at 69c.
Several cars of new Montana spring
jwheat received at Spokane during the
Veek were reported of good quality
but the test weight averaged about 1
lb. per bu.-. less than early receipts
last season.
California wheat markets were quiet
and slightly lower than a week ago.
Offerings of local wheat continued
light with holders In the Sacramento
and San Joaquin valleys asking about
10c per 100 over terminal market bids.
Milling demand was of fair volume at
San Francisco but supplies were be
ing obtained principally from north
ern markets. Use of feed barley con
tinued to' restrict feeding of wheat so
that demand for feed grades was lim
ited. At the close of the market Aug.
19, No. 1 hard white wheat was quoted
at San Francisco at $1.15 per 100,
sacked, and No. 1 soft white wheat
at $1.12.. Washington and Oregon
shippers were offering No. 2 western
white and No. 2 soft white at $1.0 7 14
$1.10 and bluestem No. 1 hard
white at $1.20 per 100. sacked, de
livered dock San Francisco. No 1 dark
northern spring, 14 per cent protein,
was quoted at $1.25 per 100 ln bulk.
Idaho and Utah shippers were quoting
No. 2 dark, hard winter, 13 per cent
protein, at $1.12 per 100 ln bulk, de
livered Central California points. The
Los Angeles market was slightly
weaker reflecting principally the sit
uation In outside markets. A fair
trade prevailed in feed wheat but pur
chases were mostly limited to light
current requirements. Mills were gen
erally drawing upon previously pur
chased supplies and wero taking only
moderate amounts from current of
ferings. No. 1 hard white sacked was
quoted at Los Angeles Aug. 19 at
$1.16. No. 1 soft white at $1.1316
$1.16 and No. 2 or better western
white at $1.10 per 100.
Harvesting of spring wheat ln the
United States is practically completed
except ln Montana and Is well under
way In Canada. Weather during the
week was almost Ideal for harvesting
In that country but a further decline
In yield prospects occurred as a result
of dry weather and high temperature.
Trade estimates now place the Cana
dian outturn at around 425.000.000
bushels. . Harvesting In Russia con
tinued backward with only a ltttle
over half of the harvesting plan com
pleted at the 10th of August. Serious
rust damage was reported In Czech
oslovakia and along the Oerman Pol
ish border as far north as East Prus
sia. Harvesting made good progress

Butterf at Tone
Steady to Firm
As Week Begins
PORTLAND, Aug. 33 m General
steadiness is reflected ln the market
for cheese at leading American dis
tributive points. The same applies
generally to values at the source.
Malntalnance of the recent ad van-
ces at Wisconsin points appears the
chief factor at the moment. The pre
vious week's rise was rather spirited
and that it was maintained. Indicates
that the entire cheese structure Is on
more hopeful grounds although pri
mary points indicated that tha
strength was not quite so pronounced.
Locally there was no change in tbe
cneese mancet situation ior uie usy
Coos Bay and Tillamook showed main- I
rained vnlueA With tho latter still '
quoting the highest price In the coun
try for Its various types.
General trading ln the butter mar
ket Is Just about steady despite the
weakening Influence of the , heavy
withdrawals from storage. Butt rial
values are steady to firm.
Prices are being generally maintain
ed in the market for eggs here despite
the flooding of the restaurant and
hotel trade by outsiders with under
grades, which act as a detriment to
sales of good quality. . .. ,
Despite the attitude of cash buy
era in trying to depress the situation,'
the market for all chickens la very
active with prices firm to lc higher
all around. Buyers are freely . paying
handlers here that much more than
they are quoting and scrambling for
their needs.
Trade in country killed meats is at
least steady here although the situa
tion is better In veal and lambs as
well as mutton than ln hogs. The
latter appear to he Just holding their
own. ' ,
First muscat grapes of the season
have been received ln Portland. The
initial supply from Fresno, Cal., sold
nt 75c lug. Other grapes are Inclined
to show weakness.
Still another downward swing Is
generally showing ln peach prices
here. Increasing supplies of Elbert as,
Crawfords and J. H. Hale from north
west points and a desire to move sup
plies are the chief reasons. '.
The same reason applies to the
cantaloupe trade. Dl Hards are down
to $1.10 for standard crates ana
prices are steady to a fraction lower
for cantaloupes and muskmelons from
other sections. Quality generally good.
Notes of wholesale trading: -Potato
prices are down about a
nickel.
Tomatoes are steady to a nickel
lower.
Watermelons are down ln protest
against the weather.
Flrat offerings of little or coast
huckleberries at 7c with mountain or
large berries at 9c lb.
Lemons are down about 26c case.
Sweet potatoes are lowor at $3.00
$3.10 cental.
Onions are weaker with the bulk of
Walla Walla to retailers 75c. ....

cations that Canadian wheat will bs
