Notes OF The Basket Ball Game
CAPTAIN Law shows two of the
fundamental characteristics of a
forward agility and aIertness. /
would place these characteristics
before that of basket throwing as
the ability tn shoot goals can be
cultivated butthe ability to move
around quickly and perceive acur.
ately are largely gifts.
Wilson. as forward guarded to
advantage in this game as many
times guard has the ability to
shoot and guard and a forward
must be prepared to break up this
offensive work. Wilson's work
throwing baskets was good.
Scott playing center the first
half and Adams the second half
was entirely too much for Bonham
of Sutherland. Scott is q little
slow on the floor but he has a cool
head with ability to size up con.
dit o1s and act quickly. Adams
has what Scott lacks, the speed of
a forward and the guarding ability
of a back.
Too much praise ca mot be Civ
en- Philip Parker and Walter Law
They are both fast men. They
manifest generous spirit of sac
rificing their own interests wholly
for that of the team.
The team work showed up to
good advantage in this game.
Time and again you could trace
plays form the center, to guard,
forward and to the basket. This
is a step of advancement in the
right direction.

a basis, loans increased Si6a,to cash m

decrease of S!,.p0,yo in reserve, the pres

standing at S25J16. 100. Figured on the
daily average system the report showed
larger changes, the chief difference being
in the gain of S2.Io.o0o in cash reported.

The preliminary report indicated much

statement, but this difference VIII proba-

of remark that over half the total circu-

PINS ITS FAITH IN CROPS
BY n. ALLoWAY.

Copyright. 1912. by Z. G. Hopper New York;
NEW YORK, June 1.-Wall street stays
as Indifferent to political excitement at
the end of the primary campaign as be-
fore this new style turmoil started For
time the oracles upon the stock ex-
change affected vast interest in the nomi-
nation situation, but they got such slight
response from the rank and file of even
the professional traders that there has
been complete abandonment of any such
plan of campaign.
Wall street showing itself uneXercised
drfted into dizziness. Offices are empty
ing back TO their low ebb Of months ago:
commission brokers are idle: only the
professional attempts to do any trading.
This. though, is not to be construed as
wholly bearish. What is indicated is
not SO much disgust with the security
market as manifestation of the public's
feeling that this is a good waiting time.
What may be accepted as significant APP
pears in the fact that while the outsider
becomes again quiescent, declining to add
to investments or to increase speculative
commitments, there is CONFIDENTLY abso-
lutely no indication that they who hold
stocks, who own them, are in any sense
worrying disposed to sell. Nothing
like liquidation show anywhere rms Is,
indeed, the strongest element in the pres
ent market.
They who talk and argue and feel
called upon to make forecasts are
pretty generally Joined in the new
slogan-running to the effect that no
matter what politics may be, or seem
to be, or may turn out to be, all that
the business interests of the country
need be concerned over is the question
Of crops One stock exchange house
issued an elaborate circular letter
alcng this line little while ago and
it was SO far appealing to the senti-
ment guardians Of Wall street that in
varying paraphrase the same repre-
sentation is echoed all around. No
candidate can affect the crops. no
platform can cause a drought. no
political combination begins to compare
with agricultural prosperity-so runs
the popular chorus. And, of course.
there is attractiveness in the plea;
wherefore attention hereabout begins
to concentrate upon the agricultural
prospect.
