3 REQUESTS DENIED
National Commission Grants
One Plea of Fraternity.
WAIVERS TO BE SECRET
Governing Baseball Itefuses to Fix
Minimum Salary Clause In Con
tacts of Players Sold tq
Other Clubs or Released. '
CINCINNATI, April 22. Of the nine
, provisions requested by the. BasebaH
, Players Fraternity to be inserted in
what is known as the Fraternity agree
ment. the National Baseball Commis
-ion late yesterday, handed down a. find
ingr allowlnsr ono of the provisions and
l-nyinnr three.
Of the other five, two were found
to already exist in the agreement; an
other existed in the agreement in a
modified form, making: the provisions
unnecessary in the opinion of the com
mission: one was withdrawn and an
other dealt with minor leagues and
was therefore up to the National board
of the National Association.
One Provision Allowed.
The provision that was allowed. No.
9. was:
"That the commission and board fur
nish the managements in the various
organizations over which they have
jurisdiction respectively with forms of
release making provision for the sev.
eral items of information required by
the agreement."
The provisions that were denied
were numbers three, four and eight.
No. 3 was modified after heing pre
sented and in this form reads:
"A player recalled by a club in s
higher classification shall report to
said club either before the close of the
season of the release club or imme
dtately thereafter and shall bo put on
salary."
Player Are Protected.
The commission in denying this re
quest says:
"The effect would minimize the call
of optional players ahd thus operate to
the disadvantage of the players.
No. t says:
"A club releasing a player outright
or optionally, shall serve upon him a
written notice containing, in addition
to the iata already mentioned in the
Fraternity agreement, a statement of
the minimum amount of salary he is
to receive from the purchasing club,
which shall be a reasonable salary
for that classification."
The commission held that the salary
of a released player is purely a mat
tor of agreement between himself and
his new club.
IValverM to Be Kept Secret.
Number eight, also denied, says:
"When waivers are asked upon a
player the Fraternity is to be notified."
The commission sAid this request had
been discussed fully at thi meeting
with the Fraternity representatives in
January and .that ,f granted would not
help the players and would add another
avenue for publicity in a matter that
shoul be considered strictly confi
dential. KTMTOII WOl'Wl BK tVAIlDKX

AGGIIO ATHLETICS WORK HARD
Coat-li Far From Confident of Tak
ing Meet 'AVI tli Multnomah.
OREGON AGR1CULTI7RALCOLLEGE,
Corvallis. April 22. (Special.) Coach
Stewart has been putting his track
squad through paces the last few days
which make past performances appear
as midsummer promenades in a des
perate effort to get the Aggie team into
the best possible shape for the Mult
nomah meet next Saturday.
Tryouts were held yesterday to de
termine who the Aggie entries will be,
and the showing made by his athletes
made Dr. Stewart more pessimistic than
ever as to. the outcome of Saturday's
contest.
Although the Aggies scored more
points at the Columbia meet than did
the clubmen. "Doc" is far from feeling
confident that they can duplicate the
performance. He concedes the Port
land team three-fourths of the points
fn the field events, and is placing his
reliance on his runners to pull out a
victory.
AVILLAHD PAYS HOXEST DEBTS
Champion Pugilist Gets Cutler to Cut
Court Verdict In Half.
CHICAGO, April 22. Thirteen thou
sand dollars was the sum Jess Willard
received for defeating Jack Johnson at
Havana, the heavyweight champion
told friends here yesterday.
"Johnson received $30,000 and when
: I defend my title I am going to get
'the same amount of money he did,"
Willard said.
The champion handed Charles Cutler,
the wrestler, who first attempted to de
velop him as a heavyweight boxer, a
check for J1250 as compensation for
the- Chicagoan's services. Cutler ob
tained a judgment against Willard in
Milwaukee for 12500, but when they
met yesterday a compromise was
reached and Cutler cut tho Judgment in
half.
If AIL STOPS GAMT3 AT EUGENE
I'niverslty of Oregon and Pacific
May Play Today.
. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Or., April 22. (Special.) A hailstorm
stopped the Pacific MJniverslty-Oregon
'Varsjty ball game at the end of the
first half of the second Inning today.
The ground was whitened by large hail
stones.
Opening the game the Forest Grove
athletes gathered a. pair of bits and
registered one run. Oregon came back
strong when Jimmy Sheehy slammed
the ball for two bases, scoring with
Lyle Bigbee, who connected for a home
run. Welch held Pacific scoreless in
the second and then the rain spoiled
the game.
It is likely the teams will play to
morrow. BatterieB, Webb and A. Ireland;

FAL-L-S OF AFTOX EXDS TRIP
Bark Oweeneo Sails Tic Race With
Sliip Crown of India.
Not the slowest passage of the sea
son is that of the Norwegian bark Falls
of Afton, which arrived out at Queens
town from Portland. Tuesday, after a
run of 137 days, though the best time
was made by the British ship Crown of
India, which got away from the river
January 18, and the British bark Owee-
nee, sailing January 20, as they covered
the distance in 121 days, the former
reaching Queenstown Sunday and the
Oweeneo passed Lizard Tuesday.
While the two Britishers were in port
loading, rivalry developed between
their crews, and the Crown of India's
company gave vent to caustic remarks
because the Oweenee had been referred
to favorably as to her sailing qualities.
The Crown of India went home from
the Columbia in 12) days a few years
ago and the Oweenee covered the course
in 105 days one voyage, while both had
other fast trips to their credit.

WAR AFFECTS HIDES
Market Stronger on Renewed
Leather Buying.
ORDERS FROM ALLIES BIG
Sudden Reversal ot Conditions in
Illdo Market, Duo to European
Purt-liaslng or Army
Supplies.
Tho allies are asain buylns leather manu
factures in this country, and this has had
a prompt effect on the domestic hide mar
kets. In the Eastern hide centers prices
have an upward trend. Portland dealers
have as yet made no chance in their quota
tions, but the market has a much healthier
undertone than wai the case a short time
ago.
Some of the recent European ourchases
that have had a beneficial Influence on con
ditions existing in hide and leather circles
Include one contract from Russia for 1.B0O.-
uii pairs or army shoes together with an In
quiry for 8.00-0.000 pairs of Russian army
knee boots, an order from France for 15.000
four and six-horse eets of harness and sad
dles, which It Is estimated will take 200.000
sides of leather to fill, and numerous pur-
cnasea by France, Italy, Great Britain and
Greece, of sole, upper and strap leather In
lots ranging; from 2000 to 10,000 sides each,
rrade advices from Chicago say of the hide
market situation:
The conditions ruling in the hide mar
oi mis country nave undergone a com
plete reversal of form and the period of
dullness and weak prices prevailing for two
months has given place to more activity and
strength. Various causes are ascribed for
the ccfmplete change in the tone of the situ
ation, but it is probable that the renewed
buying on the part of belligerent countries
in Kurope of shoes, leather, harness and
other leather equipments Is tho chief reason
why tanners are again purchasing hides
freely. Another Incentive for operations In
the hide market Is that thore has been
readjustment of values, resulting In bring
ing prices down to more reasonable levels
than the inflated rates current early In the
year.
"Chicago packers during the past fort
night have succeeded in disposing of about
250,000 Winter hides at nrices ranrlnr from
I 18 He to 19c for native steers and cows and
most kinds of branded stock, and these
prices average about -C lower on the brand
ed varieties and from 4c to 5c lower on
native steers and cows than the rates ob
tained In December and January.
"Tanners in order to minimize the effect
of this decline In the minds of leather
buyers call attention to the fact that the
reduced quotations are offset by the In
ferior quality of February and March hides,
but the fact remains that late sales of Chi
cago packer native steers and cows of Jan
uary salting at 19c represent an actual re
duction of 4 He from the top rates paid
three months ago, when tanners paid 23 Ho
for these same January take-off hides.
"Besides the large sales In Chicago there
has also been unusual activity at the River
Plate, where approximately 250.000 hides
have been sold at equal reductions from
former top quotations of two or three months
ago. About three-fifths of these Argentine
and Uruguay hides were chiefly purchased
by America and a moderate proportion by
Kurope, but a rather unusual happening in
this market was the sale of about 100,000
hides to Argentine banners who, it is re
ported, have made comparatively large sales
of leather to Europe."
MORE WHEAT SOLD TO GO EAST
Loral Exchange Trade Quiet and Prices Are
Easier.
More Eastern wheat business was done
yesterday. A broadening of the demand Is
looked for, 'as stocks in the Eastern' milling
centers are small and prices are low enough
here to make rail business with the East
profitable.
No white milling wheat was sold on the
Merchants Exchange at the noon session.
Spot forty-fold bids were a cent better than
the day before, but bluestem offers were 1
to H4 cents lower, while bids for all de
liveries of club -were reduced 3 cents. .
Five thousand bushels of May fife were
sold at $1.25, a cent leas than was bid on
Wednesday. Other red wheat bids were 1
to 4 cents lower.
Trade in the coarse grains was also dull.
May oats were a quarter higher on bid and
prompt barley a half lower. Other bids
were unchanged.
Argentine shipments for the week are
estimated at 4.800,000 bushels of wheat and
850,000 bushels of corn.
Receipts in cars at tidewater are reported
by the Merchants Exchange as follows:

POTATOES SHIPPED HERE IX 151 I. K
First Car TJnsackrd Is Received From Mon-
The first car of potatoes in bulk that
ever came to Portland was received yester
day from Montana. They came to Mc
Kinley Mitchell and he thought when he or
dered them that he was buying sacked po
tatoes. In the Eastern states practically
all potato shipments are handled In bulk,
and the custom will no doubt prevail here
sooner or later.
The old potato market was very firm
yesterday and some of the Jobbing houses
advanced their price on fancy grade to
2 cents. New potatoes were quoted at
78 cents.
STRAWBERRY PRICES ARE DECLINING
Two Cars of California Fruit Are Due on
Front Street Today.
Half a car of Los Angeles strawberries
was received yesterday and they sold well
at $1.60 a crate. A small shipment of
Fresno berries sold at $2.25 a crate. Berry
prices are gradually declining, and with
warmer weather a large volume of trade
could be handled. About two cars of berries
are due today.
The banana train arrived and the fruit
was in good green condition. A car of
Florida grapefruit was also received.
Vegetables were in fair supply and nearly
all kinds were steady in price.
Strong Demand for Eggs.
Eggs are going Into storage as fast as
they reach this city and the demand la
strong enough to keep the market at a firm
level.
Ponltry eased off slightly with more lib
eral receipts, and 15 V cents was the best
price quoted on hens. Dressed meats were
steady.
Dairy produce prices were unchanged and
a normal movement was reported.
Bank Clearings.
Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities
yesterday were as follows:

Stock Speculation Decreases,
Prices Are Irregular.
STANDARD ISSUES LOWER
Coppers Are Again Strongest Feat
ures of Llsit Otlier Industrials
Score Advances. Wliile Bond
Market Is Firm.
NEW YORK, April '22. Tradins in th
vtock market today foil away in a marked
manner, total transantloTts falling far short
of tho rornt dally average of a. million or
more a harm.
VarloiiM thorle and deduction wre a1 -vrinced
In f-iplanaLlon of the diminished and
irrular movrmnt, these ranging from
political to Industrial and technical condi
tions. Am a matter of fact, to the dLspasslonat
observer, events of the past few days, in
cluding heavy foreign and domestic sell in k.
wit It h n admfxt urt of professional opera
tions for the decline, seemed to make to
day's outcome a matter of logical sequence.
Lowest prices were recorded in the last
hour, when the lint recovered from its torpor
of the mid-scsjfion. .with declines of 1 to 2
points in numerous Important stocks.
Prices moved contrarlly from the outset,
standard stocka and the lower grade rail
ways tending downward. while coppers
moved to higher quotations. Iealinirs In
tho metal shares were the largest of any
particular group, far exceeding those in such
leaders as United States Steel, Heading; and
the Pacifies.
The minor railways again were under the
cloud arising from the Rock Island receiver
ship. Missouri Pacific and Missouri. Kansas
& Texas denoting especial weakness, prob
ably as a result of their approaching finan
cial reorganization.
Tobacco Issues and -a score of secondary
industrial and equipment stocks made more
or less substantial advances, some of which
were retainea at tne close.
investment conditions offered more en
couragement than was found in the stock
market. Tho pew issue of New Haven notes
rose to a slight premium over the subscrip
tion prices.
n ere a ed weakness in almost all foreign
remittances gavn rise to reports of the pur
chase of more European credits here. Apart
from a slight accession of gold! and a de
cided increase In public deposits, the Bank
of England statement was devoid of specia
feature.
Total sales of stocks amounted to 702, 000
snares.
A moderate rally In Rock Island issues
and strength in copper convertibles Imparted
firmness to the bond list. Total sales, par
value, aggregated $ri,125,000. United Statas
bonds were unchanged on call.

CHICAGO." April 23. Lrgr export buni
nes than has been dona for some time
helped today to boleter the prlcn of wheat.
After much wavering-, the market closed
nervous at off to Mcaip, compared with
last night. Corn finish 4 a shade to 4c
lower, oats c down to 1 -1 If advn n and
provisions varying from 67o decline to
a rise or 24 Uc.
Wheat was stimulated first by reports that
stocks In Great Britain and on passage to
the country had dropped lower than at any
corresponding time In ten yani, and that
no matter now lartre tne united (States crop
mtffht be, the wheat would all be wanted In
Europe. Effects of the fresh European buy
ing; of wheat showed themselves in the lust
half of the session. The seaboard estimated
that the day s sales In aJl positions a k pr re
trated more than 2,000,000 bunhela, includ
ing- purchases of new-crop Winter wheat.
Corn manifested a sajrglns; tendency most
of the time despite the rallying power dls
played by wheat, and in face of bullish
cables and a good cash demand. Increas
ing; offers from the country formed a weight
on the market.
Plentiful moisture eased off oats. Rome
export call developed, but not enough to
bring; enthusiastlo rejtpone.
Shorts covering steadied provisions, what
little selling; pressure there was seemed to
be inspired by lower prices for hotrs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
