Omaha at Home Wednesday Buffaloes Play Wichita Club in Big Opener — i “Pug"’ Griffin Loads Herd in Hatting—“Tony"’ Dofate Tops Home Run Sluggers. I!y K.M.ru W.UiNKR. 1 FI turnstiles will sing a merry tune at the Western league park Wed nesday p. m. when a couple of ball clubs, namely the Omaha Buffaloes and W1 c h 11 a Witches cavort ti r ell n d the dia mond, incidentally opening the 1923 season in this hurB. Judging from 1 He number of seats that have already been sold, a large attendance of "six-bit” and $1 cus tomers will be on hand Wednesday to see the initial game of “Pa" Tearney's league in Onmha. I The usual ceremonies will be staged at tlie Chamber of Commerce and the park previous to the conflict. The rumpus will start with a “feed" at the Chamber of Commerce and then followed by a lot of stunts out at the Fifteenth and Vinton street lot. As per custom, Dahlman will hurl the first ball. Governor Charles Bryan will attempt to catch I'ahl man’s delivery, but the ‘‘wiseacres” are giving odds that Mister Bryan fails to stop the mayor’s delivery or else muffs the ball. But anyway you want to. Following this, a hand or two will spit out some music and then, if it doesn't rain, the game will probably start. The chances are that Nick Cullop will hurl tho first game for the Buffaloes. Wichita may use all seven of its hurlers. Manager Gre gory of tho Witches Isn't a hit back ward in using his pitchers. Many New Faces. But, when the Buffaloes trot out on the field Omaha fandom will lamp several new “mugs.” Joe Bonowitz, Tony DeFate. Manager Ed Konetchy, Tex McDonald, Nick Cullop, Ted Odenwnld. "Buckshot” May, Dee, speece, Prejenn, Stout and Hale are the newcomers. Among the new faces are seven pitchers. Among the veterans, that is, play ers who wpre with the herd last cam paign. are Frank Okrie. "Pug” Grif fin, Dick O'Connor. Phil Apperson, Fred Wilder and Freddy Gernandt. The Buffaloes will not return to Omaha on — top of the standings. However, a little thing like this will not keep the fans from turning out (n see the first game. The Vi nson s still young and the Buffaloes look as good as any club in the league. "Pug” Griffin is leading the club in batting. This Buffalo’s hatting average for the first eight games of the season, which includes all games but Saturday’s is .400. Griffin has been at bat 30 times, made 12 hits for a total of 13 bases and scored 14 putouts, which is a pretty good mark. "Tex” McDonald ranks next high e t In batting among the Buffaloes. This former Texas league third base n an has been at bat 33 times, made 13 hits for a t^tal of 19 bases and finished the first eight games with a batting average of .394. Tony DeFate leads the Buffaloes In home run slugging. Th4 former Saint has clouted out three circuit drives. Wilcox. McDonald, Cullop. Griffin. Bonowitz. Wilder. Griffin. Konetchy and O'Connor each have knocked out bontB runs. Griffin is the only member of the herd who has collected a triple. De Fate has five doubles to his credit for the first eight games while Mc Donald ntvl Bonowitz each have spanked out three two-baggers.

Receipts of nearly 1,000.000 bushels of barley during 1922 placed Omaha in sixth rank as a hurley market. I low ever, Omaha is the largest j. grain market in the entire country receiving all of its grain direct from the country surrounding it, and in i hfs way Omaha takes first rank among the primary grain markets of the country. Also Terminal Market. fienerally speaking there are three kinds rtf grain markets, namely, pri mary, terminal and export; and while Omaha is the first primary market m the country, being aa it is in the ■enter of the great grain growing dis- j triet of the country, yet it is also a terminal market of no mean propor tions, for considerable of the grain received here is held In storage for considerable periods of time. Omaha also can claim to be an export mar k> t for some of the grain received nere is shipped directly in export trade to foreign countries.

Plan Launched to Extend Grain Act to Sugar Market Louisiana RepreM-ntativr Is Drafting Bill to Place Kx* changes l rider Control of Secretary of Agriculture. tty f'nlvernal Sfnlcp, Washington, April 21.—Churgh a the "ateps now being taken with such a blare of trumpets to punish the sugar gamblers' are little short of , farcical,” Representative A swell, democrat of I.' uislana. announced that legislation is being drafted that will prevent a recurrence of the prest nt scandal. The proposed remedy, which Repre sentative Aswoll says Is backed by a considerable group in both politleal parties, will bring the principal sugar exchanges in the United Slates under the category of ''contra t markets” and extend the superv sory authority of the secretary of agriculture tc them, ns in the case ' f the cotton and grain exchanges. "It will be found,” the Louisiana congressman declares, "that the ink is not dry on such a statute befars the gamblers will be rushing to eox-er." Representative A swells bill will fol low closely the plan of the grnle futures act, recently upheld by the I'nited States supreme court. This la'w lodges with the secretary of uni j culture authority to designate what exchanges shall be “contract mar kets.” Trading can be carried on only by such exchanges as are given the secretary's approval. Kvery ton of sugar s' Id on any exchange, under the terms of the legislation, would have to be sold un der the strict supervision and r - g-k * tion of the Department of Agriculture. Moreover. eVery transaction would have to be evidenced by a memor andum in writing showing the date, the parties to su< h C ontra ;t and their addresses, the quantity of sugar cov ered. the price, terms of delivery and •other data, all of which would be kept ■ n record for at least three >ears. ----- To Row at Poughkeepsie.
