Johnson Credited
With Another Win

CHICAGO. ILL, July 21.--Accord-
ing to Irwin Howe, official statisticiar
of the American league, the ball game
played in st. Louis last Wednesday
which was started by Boehling. who
was relieved by Hughes and John
son, does not go to the credit of Tom
Hughes, but to Walter johnson, and
this contest. together with the one
he added last Friday. when he enter,
ed the box during the last half OF
the ninth, gives the Kansas Blizzard
twenty-three victories, against five
defeats.
When the writer talked with Mr.
Howe about the game in question the
last named stated that to his way OF
thinking Boehling should really be
given the credit, for the youngster
pitched fine ball until the seventh, but
that after a consultation with other
experts in President Johnsons Office
1t was decided that to Walter John
son, and not Hughes or Boehling
should go the victory.

NO SIGN OF PRESSURE

NEW YORK. July 2i.--while the
upward movement OF the stock mar
ket continued today TO lack spontan-
city and seemed 10 be owing largely
TO concerted efforts, the rise persisted
nevertheless. Moreover. although
stocks were In supply the advance OF
quoted values was substantial and
prices at the close were shaded very
little from the best.
In dull intervals the market showed
no signs OF pressure. the offerings
being limited to the periods OF activ-
ity and some significance may
attach 10 the fact that total trans
actions made new volume for the
movement SO far. A feature Of the
dealings was the familiar prominence
Of Reading. Union Pacific, Amalga-
mated Copper and United States Steel.
Trading in these stocks accounted for
half the days movement.
Conditions Improving.
Were il not for the circulation of
rumors of q sort customarily incl
dental 10 nanipulative efforts the
change in the market would look
more like genuine absorption. At
the same time the views expressed in
banking circles were marked by a
reasonable confidence that conditions
were in the way of Improvement sub
ject TO the possibility OF unforeseen
developments.
The quality OF oreign buying of
stocks of Wall Street came in for
suspicion because OF the failure of
the European markets to display ag-
gressive tendencies toward strength.
Weakness on Continent.
There was some weakness on the
continent resulting from the strain
imposed by the aspects Of the Balkan
controversies. and London was not
altogether firm owing to the readiness
with which new security promotions
were being undertaken on the first
manifestations OF monetary relaxa-
ton.
Foreign exchange held steady
around ASS "a for demand sterling
and a little loosening up of funds was
reported for time loans of early ma
turfty, but there was no decided
easing of the domestic money market

GER OF AGGREGATION.

Professor Felix Iardella IL no long

mond band. He servered his connection
with the band on Saturday. Profess
sor Stein is now leading the band
himself.
1t was stated last night that the rea-
son Professor Iardella did not remain
with the organization was that he and
Professor Stein could not agree upon
details in connection with the conduct
Of the band. Professor Stein holds
the contract with the administrative
board. Professor Iardella thought
as he was the chosen leader he should
have something to say about matters
pertaining to not only the music, but
the business affairs of the band. Pro-
fessor Stein thought otherwise 30 the
two friends parted.
The band played at Riverside park
last night. The residents of that sec
ton OF the city always welcome the
band. There was a large crowd out
last night.
Tonight the band will hold forth at
