Grain Review
Chicago, Sept. 25.—Wheat rose to
day to the highest prices this season.
Scarcity of offerings had mufeh to do
with the latest upturn in values and so
did reports of a large exoprt demand. It
was pointed Out that world shipments
showed a material falling off as com
pared with a week ago. Opening prices
which ranged from %c to 2%c higher,
with December at $1.5«% to $1.57% and
May at $1.56% to $1.57, were followed
by additional gains in some cases.
Profit taking by holders led to a ma
terial reaction despite news of a prob
able crop failure In Argentina unless
rains come soon. The close was weak at
$1.55 to $1.56% December and $1.54%
May. with the market as a whole %c
oft to %c upj compared with Saturday's
finish.

FIRST GAME IS
LOSTBYLOCALS
SEYMOUR DEFEATS 0. H. 8. IN
OPENING GAME ON A SAFE
TY, SCORE 2 TO 0.
A surprise was sprung Saturday
when the heavy eleven representing
the Seymour high school hung a de
feat on the local high school football
team in a close and Interesting1 con
test. The final score was 2 to 0 the
winning points being gained within
the final five minutes of play when
Rater was downed behind his own
goal line.
The game devloped into a punting
duel soon after it started, with Rater
upholding the honors for the Red and
White and Brooks doing the kicking
for the Seymourites. The latter had
the edge on the local captain through
out. his long kicks helping to keep the
bfill in Ottumwa's territory most of
the time. Brooks did the bulk of the
work of carrying the ball for Seymour
and gained a great deal of ground.
Hays, Clemmens and Bragg also
played strong games.
The redeeming feature of the work
of the locals was the strength shown
by the line. The great majority of
Seymour's gains were made around
the ends and when the goal was in
danger the O. H. S. line could not be
touched. Seymour's backfleld, how
ever was much heavier and fasten.than
the local backs and their victory is
largely due to the supremacy of these
men. The defeat,, while a disappoint
ment to many, Berved to bring out
several weaknesses which Coach
Vaughn and Captain Rater hope to
have corrected within a short time.
While the entire local line put up a
strong defense the Vork of Captain
Rater both on offense yid defense was
especially commendable and the Sey
mour lads found it hard to buck his
side of the line. P. Haseltine at half
was in the game from start to finish
and was especially clever at catching
forward passes, intercepting several of
the balls thrown by his opponents.
The game was a battle from start
to finish, both teams pretty even
ly matched, the Ottumwa line offset
ting the Seymour backfleld. The lo
cals worked several forward passes
while the Wayne county boys were
successful with only one, this, how
ever. netting them twenty-eight yards.
Seevral of the O. H. S. players were
playing ^their first fame and should
profit greatly by their experience.
First Quarter.
Angell kicked off for Ottumwa to
Seymour's twenty yard line. After
failing to advance the ball on -line
bucks Brooks punted to Hampton in
the center of the field. Millett made
one yard and Hampton three, and Rat
er punted to the twenty yard line.
Brooks made five yards through left
tackle and Clemmens lost two on an
end run and failed to gain .on another
one, Seymour punting to Hampton.
A forward pass Hampton to Grindle,
netted ten yards for Ottumwa but a
second attempt failed. P. Haseltine
made four yards through right tackle
and Hampton advanced the ball five
through the opposite side of the line,
but Ottumwa lost the ball to Seymour
who immediately kicked. Hampton
fumbled the ball and Seymour recov
ered on the Red and White's forty
yard line.
Seymour could not gain, however,
and Ottumwa took the ball on downs.
Rater booted the ball to the center
of the field, and Seymour made two
first downs on a series of line
smashes and end runs. Clemmens
failed through center, Bragg was
downed in his tracks, a forward pass
was incomplete and Brooks made a
yard around right end, the ball going
to the local boys. The Ottumwa cap
tain again punted to the center of the
field, Brooks returning the compli
ment. Hampton returning ten yards.
Ottumwa was penalised fifteen yards
for holding and the first quarter end
ed with the leather in Ottumwa's
pos­!gell
session on her own forty-eight yard
line.
Second Quarter.
Seymour took the ball on Ottumwa's
thirty-five yard line to start the sec
ond period and Bragg carried the pig
skin to the fifteen yard line on an end
run. Here the Red and White held
for downs and Ratef kicked to the
center of the field, the ball going out
of bounds. Brooks was thrown for a
loss on an .end run and a forward pans
failed. Bragg was downed by Rater
who broke though the line and Brooks
sent the ball to Hampton near the
goal line on a punt. Shanty carried
the ball to the fifteen yard line, from
where Rater kicked to Clemmens who
returned twenty yards, being forced
out by Hampton.
Seymour suffered a fifteen yard pen
alty for holding and P. Haseltine in
tercepted one of their passes, being
downed on the forty yard line. W.
Haseltine skirted right end for five,
Hampton went through center for
three and P. Haseltine made it first
downs on a plunge through center.
Angell also hit center for five and
a forward pass, Hampton to P. Hasel
tine, was successful, making first
down again. Hampton and Millett
each gained two yards through center
but W. Haseltine failed. Hays inter
cepted a pass and returned fifteen
yards with the ball. Seymour could
not pierce the local line and Hater
punted to Bragg, who returned 'ten
yards. Brooks and Rater again ex
changed kicks and the half ended.
P. Haseltine returned Seymour's
kickoff twelve yards at the opening of
the third period. A forward pass was
incomplete and Hays recovered a
fumble by W. Haseltine. The Wayne
county boys were again penalized fif
teen yards and a forward pass failed.
Brooks punted to Hampton, who car
ried the pigskin back fifteen yardB by
good dodging. Ottumwa could not gain
and Rater kicked. Bragg returned
three yards to the thirty yard mark
jand bucks by Brooks, Clemens and
Hays made it first down. Bragg went
around right end for four, Hays waded
through center for three yards and
Clemmens was successful on a run
around left end to the extent of tell
yards.

beiife for two sacks. The other two
safeties were of the scratch variety.
Theising the Central association slug
ger drove out two doubles and Mier
got a couple of singles.
Berry allowed five clean hits and
struck out seven, but the miserable
support accorded him proved a big
handicap. He retired the side in the
third on three pitched balls. Wright
was stingy with the hits allowed the
Courier boys but passed four and hit
five, Noel especially being an attract
ive target, getting soaked no less than
three times.
Thfi Reviews counted twice in the
first. With one out Roberts lived on
Flactiffs error and Bartlett walked.
Theising drove a double down the left
field foul line. Roberts scoring and
Bartlett reaching third. The latter
was out at home wh«Ai Kobe! bounded
to Maloney, but Theising pulled some
big league stuff by stealing home,
Price failing to squeeze Berry's pitch.
Wright filled the bags in the second
with none .out by walking Price and
hitting Cocherill and Maloney. Berry
struck out but Price crossed as Mier
•dropped Theising's throw of Leonard's
grounder. Mier singled in the fifth,

jerrored on Robert's grounder. The
latter kept on going and paraded
across the pan as Wilson held thefPa ™Je:_f°.,:

the Reviews in the eighth when he
reached second on Wilson's error and
counted on Huffman's two base hit.
