The end OF the bear movement vas
PROBABLY reached yesterday Tor the present,
and every indication is that, suddenly, be-
fore the end OF the week prices VIII begin
TO go up. During the last four days there
have been a great many bears. and the
sentiment that the market win go down
now is almost is strong as it was two
weeks ago that it would go up. When
the market is DING one way, the time has
usually arrived when it begins to go the
other way. There is 10 bear so vicious
lamoHg the ordinary small specializing pub
lie as the bull who has been confident for
GONE time that the market would go up,
ard has had his margins wiped out by
few small drops Then he thinks every
thing is going to pieces and gets on the
bear side, just when his first opinion Is
to be verified. The large operators over
in New York have forced the market down
somewhat for nearly two weeks now, and
really it is time for a turn. Bill Wheeler,
Mr.. Bell, Well, and Jim Keene have been
slugging the market for a fortnight and
have been the principal operators in caus-
ing the decline during that time. 1t is
thought that they VIII have to realize

in stocks, though, and therefore no good
ones pressing for sale.

In the first game the Saengers seemed to
find 1T impossible to get together for eff
feetive team work, while the CAROLS
were keyed up to excellent ali-round play,
and landed the game handily by 81 pins
The second game was the more interest
ing OF the two and was remarkable for the
very strong finish by the Saengers who won
the game by only ten pins.
In this game the Saengers gave splen-
did exhibition of team work and gathered
in many spares, which, in the first game,
went into bowling history as bad splits.
Much of the credit for the victoryis due to
s. Desio, whose strong finish ON triple
headers pulled his team out of a small hole
Desio led the evening with S6 as the best
single game and was also the star OF the
set with rs as his average for the even
ing. Miller, of the CAROLS, led his team

Several difficult spares were made, Ro-

nevertheless they went to the basin be-

to watch the bigger boys who could skate
while they contented themselves with
sliding" Eddie's brother, Willie, eight

pair.
They had not been there long when
Hugo came across a hole in the ice and
tuInbled in, Eddie hurried up to help him
out and he, too, fell in. Willie discussed
the affair afterwards and said:
IF Eddie hadn't been such big fool as
to walk up and look in the hole he wouldn't t
have been hurt
Some skaters came along and pulled the
two boys out. By the time they could
be taken to the Emergency Hospital they
were both nearly frozen. The urchins
were tucked in bed with lot of hot water
bottles about them, and their parents
notified.
