It was not de- | finitely known until long after the close that meanwhile purchasing for shipment to Europe had been on a much larger scale than usual. Prices closed unset- tled 1-4 to 1 1-dc net lower, with Dec. 169 and March 166 3-4 to 1.67. Comn finished 3-8 off to 5-8c up; oats gained 1-4 to 1-2. In provisions the outcome wag unchanged to 25c lower. Opening prices for wheat had a no- ticeable upward swing, chiefly as a re- sult of rains in Argentina and of atten- tion given Indianapolis dispatches about plans to finance expots. Advances, however, Were soon more than wiped out through enlargement of selling pressure and through opinions that ur. gent foreign buying in the United States was nearly ended. Removal of hedges on Canadian wheat taken by the British royal commission tended to lift prices later, as did talk of placing an immediate embargo on _ wheat im- ports int othis country. Nevertheless, gains failed to last. Corn and_oats were steadied by re- ports that the shipment of corn was not increasing to the extent that many traders had looked for. 7 Provisions fluctuated in line ‘with the | 'hog market, closing weak.

BOSS, Representaxive 418 Plant Building New London INTERNATIONAL BOXING CARNIVAL NEXT MONTR New York, Dec. 8.—An boxing carnival between amateur middleweights weizhts of. England and the States, to be held here next month, will be the initial international contest in a! sport series which promises to make 1921 famous, it was learned today. Plans for the bouts, which will be held at a place and date to be an- nounced later by the International Sporting club, were virtually completed yesterday by the club matchmaker, TexX O'Rourke, after a series of conferences m London. Unless there is an eleventh hour change in the plans, the bouts will bring together the best amateur middleweight and heavyweight boxers of the English and United States armies and ~ navies. The leading champions in these two weight classes of the London police and fire departments will also face oppon- ents from the New York departmen All bouts will be under the regula- tions of the International Boxing Feder- ation and will have the sanction of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, which controls amateur boxing in_this country. The plan for the international ‘bouts was_conceived some months ago by W. A. Gavin, of the International S. C., but owing to the amateurism involved it was necessary to procure the co-operation of both the American and English Ath- letic Unions which _exercise *jurisdiction over amateur boxers in their respective countries. Considerable correspondence crossed the ocean before it was decided that conditions warranted the sending of Matchmaker O'Rourke to England to complete the arrangements. Cable- grams received by both the A. A. U. and the International S. C. officials indicate that final details have been compléted and the English boxers will sail for this country in a few days, if they are not already on the high seas. The invading boxers are expected to arrive here in time to give them at least two weeks' training before the contests. In view of their early departure, F. W. Rubein, secretary of the Amateur Ath- letic Union, today forwarded the follow- ing cablegrame to the secretary of the governing amateur boxing in United States, sanctions boxing plan- ned by Iniernational Sporting Club of New York. Send.immediately amateur credentials of your army, navy, police and firemen. Contests to be under In. ternational Federation .rules and A. A.! U. supervision. At the offices of the Amateur Athletic Union it was stated that the A, A. U. would select the American ring repre- sentatives, but the method of selection from the ranks of soldiers, sailors, po- lice and firemen was not announced. TRINITY BROKE OFF ATHLETIC KELATIONS WITH WESLEYAN Hartford,, Conn., Dec. 8.—Trinity col- lege broke off athletic relations with Weslevan University today. The action ‘was taken by the undergraduate body of Trinity at a meeting this afternoon. The students voted for a permanent severance of relations between the two old Connecticut rivals. The undergrad- uate session followed' a joint meeting here last night of the senates of Trin- ity and Wesleyan, when a suggestion was made for a break in relations for two years after, efforts to adjust the dif- ferences between the two colleges had failed. At last night's session the Wes- leyan senate disavowed published state- ments derogatory to Trinity. Football relations between Wesleyan and Trinity were resumed this year for the first time since 1919, wWhen a break in relations occurred as a result of Trin- ity's eligibility rules and the playing of George Brickley, a professional, on the Trinity- eleven. 'The present suspen- sion of relations grew out of disagree- ments between the two colleges follow- ing the football game at Middletown on Oct. 9, which Wesleyan won, 20 to 0. e FITZGERALD'S TEAM WINS CLOSE DUCKPIN Close finishes, in Which two of the games in the match were settled by margins of one pin and six pi MATCH nesday night on the Elks alleys between Capt.
