GBY LEASED WIRE,1

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 16.-If the run
ming broad jump and the hop, step and
leap counted points in the game pu-
gilstic, Johnny Dundee would win the
championship tomorrow,
and hold it until he had Whiskers down
to the middle of his vest.
But he couldn't get away with it
last night in his ten-round battle in
Frank Mulker's Arcadia arena. For
three rounds he made Dimmy Duffy
of Lockport, n. Y, look like an over
rated amateur. Then Duffy's steady
hitting began to count, and Dundee
slowed down. Duffy got in Il big right
to the jaw in the fifth that gave him
a big shade on the round.

night lost the second consecutive game

times straight stopped the ball be-

One of the best photographs of the

facing that morning an opportunity OF
a lifetime to take one Of the most
stirring pictures ever recorded on a
film"
This young man had gone down to
the Eastland dock with a crowd OF
pleasure seekers, carrying his kodak,
that he might take photographs OF
any interesting scenes or events that
should come up during the day.
When he Arrived at the gangway
he saw the vessel already listing to
one side. While he hesitated for a
moment, undecided whether to board
her or not, she rolled over. Instantly
he began te work his camera, anc
succeeded in making four or five ex-
posures. The opportunity lasted but
for a moment. Had the amateur not

"WAR BRIDES" ON WANE

New York, Aug 3O-The stock mar
ket displayed a reactionary tendency
late this afternoon following early
strength. Heavincss of the market
was attributed to the new low record
established for demand sterling, fnan-
cial interests declaring that it would
serve to increase liquidation Of Ameri-
can securities by the foreigners.
Prices were highest in the first hour
of trading. when gains of from one to
two points were recorded in the most
active issues.
Aggressive buying of Steel common
forced the price 10 u, while purchases
of the rails resulted in gains from one
10 two points. New York Central,
favorites. At the end of the first
hour quotations were around the high
est.
Very little change occurred during
the remainder of the forenoon, but all
the standard issues were supplied dur
ing the afternoon. the pressure in Steel
resulting in a net loss for the day Of
nearly a point.
"war Brides" on Wane.
Speculation in the war brides" is
steadily but gradually becoming less
turbulent. owing to the insistence by
the banks that brokers desiring loans
on this class of collateral put up large
margins or pay Eig-. interest rates
than paid when standard railroads and
industrials are given as collateral.
One broker said today that the banks
were insisting on margins ranging
from ten to fifty points, according to
the advance that has taken place in
the collateral offered.
Brokers with small capital but with
customers desiring to speculate in the
war brides have been forced TO ask
for large margins and when not forth
coming have discouraged the customer
by arraying the good points of the
rails which can be readily used as
collateral for loans and on much small
er margin than is necessary when the
war brides are held as security.
