WHEAT IS HIKED
CH1CAQO. Oct. B. (/P)—:Broader
demand, largely inspired bv decrease
of Russian wheat exports and by
curtailment of estimates of Ger-
many's wheat yield. Jerked all
grains upward today. Reported ef-
forts to cancel vessel charters for
grain shipments from Russia led to
deductions that Ncrth American
wheat would hereafter be bousht
mere Trcnly tor overse-is. Beside."
primal rcce'.pts of domestic wheat
tcday were the smallest in a long
while.
Wheat closed strong 2 1-4 to 2 5-8
cents higher, corn 2 to 2 3-8 ad-
vanced, cats 3-4 to 11-8 up, and
provisions at u shade to 10 cents
gain.
Contrary to all recent experience,
buying power augmented on price
advances in grains today, and an-
other novel development was dearth
of selling pressure on bulges. Stock
market gains and Liverpool reports
of a better milling call for wheat
were contributing bullish factors.
The sharpest upturns in wheat val-
ues, however, came after reports ap-
parently Confirming previous ad-
vices that Russia had a disappoint-
ing spring wheat crop, and would
possess much less wheat than last
year for shipment abroad.
Commercial estimates of Ger-
many's 1931 wheat crop were 16,-
000,000 bushels smaller than reccnt
official estimates.
Canadian reports indicated that
wheat stocks on farms and in tran-
sit were about 40,000,000 bushels less
than was the case a year ago. Corn
and oats rose chiefly in respense to
wheat strength.
Provisions advanced owing to
sympathy with hog values and
grains. „

SINCI'I LINDBERGH
RETURNED
By EDWARD J. NEIL
Asrcloted Press Sports Writer
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 8. i/P).—Another
"we"—"Pepper" Martin and the St.
Louis Cardinals—came home today
to a hercic welcome as the "Spirit
of St. Louis" once more rode high
along the banks of the Misshslopi.
At least 2,000 of rabid faithful
stormed the railroad terminal,
'houtlng, mauling, surging to -ret
heir hands cn the simple young-
• ter who almost single-handed has
routed the world champion Phila-
delphia Athletics to give the Cnrdl- . .. -. „01,rtt„0,u

ders until his big gray sombrero
kept slipping down over his eyes,
and made an eifort to get him up
on their shoulders for a parade uf
triumph.
Then it was that "Pepper" quail-
ed, perhaps for the first time in his
life, and lie grabbed the arm of Mrs.
"Pepper" Martin and hung on. The
leaders seemed to debate for a mo-
ment the possibility of hoisting
them both in the air, but discre-
tion prevailed, and the graate:ft
baseball hero since Babe Ruth was
in his prime was allowed to escort
his wife through cheering lines to
a taxlcab.
Gabby Street, the old sergeant of
tjhe Cards, sat in a taxlcab at the
station exit and grinned while he
■puffed his briar pipe and watched
the rest of his stars inarch through
the lane that kepts crying:
"Where's Martin? Lemme see
Martin. Which one's Martin? He's
the guy we want to see."
Gabby watched in utter content-
ment and he seemed not at all wor-
ried by the slapping and mauling
that came Martin's way.
"No need tc watch out for him,"
he chuckled. "He can take care of
himself. It you don't think so, ask
the Athletics."
Manager Street took his ball club
out to Sportsman's park at 3 p. m.,
t: practice hitting and fielding in
the home environment. He has
chosen big Paul Derringer, the ji-
ant rookie who lost the opening
game cf the series to Lefty Grove,
as his starting pitcher tomorrow.
"I still have absolute confidence
in Paul," he said. "I thought he'd
win two games for me in this series
and I still think he'll gut one of
them. If Earnshaw should happen
to have another great no-hit game
in his right arm, then I'll nave
Burleigh Grimes ready to pitch the
seventh game."

first pennant in 102(i and Charles

Philadelphia Athletics — the same
while elephants upon whom Pepper
Martin has been riding hard—re-
turned to St. Louis late today, tem-
pers aroused and prepared to make
a last-ditch stand in defense of
their title as world champions.
Crowds jeered them good-natur-

the station, demanding to know
what the A's are going to do about
fAaitin, -if anything.
Upon the powerful right arm ol
George Earnshaw, the A s pin their
hopes for capturing the sixth game

George is ready. After looking the
pitcher over at breakfast, one of the
