Financial Review

NEW YORK, September THE
Suns weekly review of the financial
situation tomorrow Will say:
Depressing considerations have
again been urged on the attention Of
the financial community. The change
of the season from summer to autumn
has been characterized by a market
wise chronicle OF rather bad news
or by news in which unfavorahIe fea-
lures seemed 10 command greater
prominence than more commonplace
matters OF encouraging import. A
survcy OF developments in the last
ten days in their bearing on values
produces tho impression that bankers
and business men have been supplied
with new reasons for limiting en-
deavor and restraining enterprise, yet
u is O question Il the impression IS
altogether warranted Indeed analysis
seems TO show that tor the most part
the adverse news has not been so new,
but has received an emphasis which
may have been exaggerated
War clouds have practically disap-
peared from the European financial
sky and the foreign money markets

GRAYS WIN OUT
IN FAST GAME

In one of the most interesting
games seen this season, in amateur
ranks, the Grays defeated the Tylers,
champions of the Old Dominion
league. by the score of 3 to 0.
Sanderson, for the losers. pitched
consistent ball, and deserves credit
for his mastery work in the face of
defeat His work stamps him as
one of the leading twirlers of the
city.
Saracino's two homers were the
main causes of the class "a" leaguers'
defeat, his second drive hitting the
fence. AMI his throw. catching Calder
at the plate. on Cummings drive, de-
serves especial mention.
The entire Tyers team should
come in for unstinted praise for their
defensive work.
Canepas twirling. Poh's fielding.
and the throwing Of Blount, for the
winners, were the features. and the
followers of amateur ball we're pre-
scented with one of the most inter
esting and exciting game of the sea-
son.
