Spokes Six Extra-Inning Games Gives Dodgers Right to All Long-Winded Titles NEW YORK. May 12.—Unde Wilbert Robinson. the Baltimore butcher and the boss of the Brooklyn basebnllers. has the long distance kings of tbe majors. The tendency of the Robins to go any distance after a ball game has made them the prize marathoners of the year and has run them into two world's records. With the help of the Braves they set anew distance mark of twenty-sis innings and they also hung up anew record of sixty-seven innings In four days. Forty-three <*xtra Inning games so far In the two big leagues have given the f=s a generous allotment* of bargain bills. Brooklyn has engaged in six extra inning games this year for a total of ninety innings. The St. Louis Cards have also gone through six long-time sessions, but oniy Tor sixty-four .innings. The Cubs and Braves have played In a quartet; the White Sox, Pirates. Red Sox and the Athletics have engaged in three, the Tigers, the Reds and the Phils In two each and Washington, the Yanks, Cleveland and tbe Giants in one each.

Believes in Speeding, but Not on Public Highways •Look out there:” shouted Howdy Wilcox, winner of last year's 600-mile race and who will drive a Peugeot In the dash for $50,000 at the Indianapolis Kotor Speedway, Monday, May 31, as i Jumped when an auto driver uncori caniedly urged his mount to within bait an Inch of the curbing at a downtown •treat crossing yesterday. To think that an auto race driver who ta Used to taking corves at a mile-a-mln-nte clip would even notice one of the numerous “near accidents" that happen every day is interesting. Here's what Howdy says: “There's no excuse for driving like that Fellows that take those chances should be arrested. Not only because they are endangering their own life and limb, but numerous pedestrians are Uable to be seriously injured. It’s different on a race course—a driver knows, or should know, the chance he takes, but on public highways every precaution should be taken. I’m for careful driving.” Clear Up Cards’ Debt ST. LOUIS. May 12.—Issuance of SIOO,000 additional capital stock was authorised at a meeting of stockholders of the St Louis Nationals today. The stockholders agreed to purchase the issue. Out of this sum it was voted to pay the $75,000 indebtedness on the club, due Thursday. This will pay up in full the purchase price of $350,000 agreed on In 1917. SUGAR INQUIRY TO BRING ARREST (Continued From rage One.) over the same car load of sugar in which ho accused the mayor of Logansport. the Ruch-Drumpp Company and various others with profiteering. This matter was taken up with the district attorney and an investigation ensued. It was said that Mr. Wyckoff's premature publicity had made impossible the consummation of the deal, as it was canceled the next day by all parties concerned AFFIDAVIT BASED ON ALLEOED LATER DEAL. However, a few days later, a representative of the Extension Sales Company went to Logansport and purebasea the sugar at cents per pound, and it is on this sale that the affidavit filed today was based. The department of justice today received a telegram from Attorney General Palmer, bearing Instructions that the only margin of profit recognised by the department is one cent a pound on sugar for wholesalers and two cents for retailers. Mr. Wyckoff, who resigned bis position as fair price commissioner for Indiana shortly after his charges against the Logansport people, is now in Washington, whither he was called, he said, by government officials who are endeavoring to haVe him recall the resignation. Mr. Wyckoff, it is said, may yet deride to continue as the price fixer of the Hoosier state. The resignation of May 10 was not the first effort Mr. Wyckoff made to sever his connections with th 4 governBtcnC

The buyers and sellers had considerable difficulty In getting together at the start, the packers demanding fully 25c lower scales. For lights a compromise offer to se*l at $15.15, a decline of 10c from the previous day s close, failed of acceptance, ond then brisk trading began on the basis of $15015.10. The next scale In weights stood pra< - tically steady, but from 250 to 300 lbs and over the sales averaged a loss for the day of 25c. The bulk of the roughs went around $11.75,' while the pige averaged $14.2.'. The liberal receipts were n weakening feature, arrivals continuing all morning. Calves. Receipts, 800: weak and 50c@$l lower. For the third successive day, because of the lack of eastern demand, prices for the best classes hit, the toboggan, the average top of sl3 for choicers showing a drop of about $2.50 in that period. Some extra fancy vealers were disposed of at $13.50. but the average sales were close to a dollar below that mark. With dinks bringing as low as 5 cents a pound in several instances, the outlook for that class was decidedly gloomy. Some sales of good vealers were made at $12.00, but this was fully 50c over the day’s average. Cattle. Receipts. 1,300: steady. With the arrivals for the last, three days well up to the average, no improve- , ment was noticeable in prices, the mar- j kot being dratrgy but fairly steady. There was early demand for both steers and cows, with sellers usually holding out for Tuesday's scales. Butcher stock was fairly active, but the call for Stockers and feeders was light. A number of heifers went for under the sl3 mark. Sheep. Receipts, 75; steady. This market continued on practically a nominal basis. lIOG.S.
