Hans Wagner, the great Dutchman,
is one OF the celebrities who predicts
the Boston Braves as serious pennant
contenders. He believes that if the Bos.
ton team had had any kind of luck dur
ing the opening of the season they would
have walked away with the pennant.
He figures that Stallings' chief worry is
the possibility of some of his youngsters
cracking in the mad scramble. He does
not, however, eliminate the Braves as
pennant contenders.

DETROIT EXCHANGE OPENS.
First in the Country-Trading Necessar'
lily Restricted, but Prices Steady.

:. Detroit Mich, Aug l2.-The Detroit
stock exchange reopened Monday be
ing the first one in the country to do
so. Conditions were almost normal,
there being no signs of panic. The
range of prices averaged less than half
a point below the closing quotation
July 80, the last day OF business, and
showed the position of Detroit stocks
TO be strong. The fact that the New
York and Chicago exchanges remained
closed made trading in many securities
listed on them impossible, and activity
on the exchange was thereby curtailed.
Business went on in local stock much
the same as before the war.
