...hard time turning the speedy Aurora attack but he got away for two goals and Whitney made another which put Greentree ahead, 6-to-4. By the end of the eighth chukker, Aurora had tied the score and the teams came out to play again-a "sudden-death" period, ending whenever either made a goal. At the end of the period, Hitchcock picked up the ball near the sideboards, flicked it to Balding, who passed to Bostwick. Bostwick's shot split the goal and the U. S.

Despite rosy reports on its crop, Russian exports are expected to be light (see p. 19). But the most sudden and surprising upset in the world's wheat trade occurred in Argentina, where drought and locusts cut the prospective harvest nearly 50%. In good Latin American tradition the crop was officially overestimated early in the season, causing no end of embarrassment to Buenos Aires exporting firms which sold for future delivery...
