Your Money
Buying Canadian Bonds.
3Y JOHN M. oskisoN.

In running over this pamphlet,
thought certain bonds had been
marked up in price since the orig.
inal offer. Gug up some OF the
circular first offerings and made
comparisons. II was true: on some
bond issues first offered not more
than four months ago the market
price was two TO three points above
the original mark
The explanation. of course, lies
in what the banker said. In our
markets the credit OF Canada has
improved.
Now, the process OF marketing
securities based on Canadian assetr
has really just begun Any number
of we'll secured issues are TO be had
TO pay return Of six per cent or
better on the money invested.
VIII our investors continue to
believe in our neighbor's bonds?
think 80. As We become more and
more willing to invest in them,
their prices will rise-the law OF
supply and demand will work
The point is that the dIscriminat.

ket a greater or less appearance OF

tingency had been long expected; {;
preparatlons have probably been
made in advance. and the effect on
security markets will doubtless have
been largely discounted when the
event arrives. The better class of
railroad shares and bonds has late
" received considerable attention
from both investment buyers and
speculative operators. In the In
dustrial shares more or less dis
crimination is necessary.
The so-called war stocks have
been handled with more discretion,
and the industrials not directly de-
pendent upon war orders, especially
steels. coppers and chemicals, are
more favorably regarded than
others. iany OF the better class
of industrials are benehtting largely
from the Improvement of home con-
sitions and entirely independent of
war orders. Steel trade activity
continues unchecked. and many
concerns have sold their entire out
put for 1916 at top prices. Labor
is we'll employed at good wages.

tinued in the ninth, and Ruth was
taken out of tho box. Baumann, hit
ting for Mogridge, doubled. Mullen
succeeded Gilhooley, and after Ruth
had pitched three balls wide of the
plato Ruth was taken out and Mays
sent in. Mays contributed another
ball and Mullen walked. Magee forced
Baumann, and after Maisel was called
out on strikes Baker slashed the ball
into right field for a single, scoring
Mullen and sending Magee to third.
One run was needed 10 tie the score,
and Joe Gedeon was up.
Never can IL be said that Gedeon IL
the man 20 overlook the amenities Of
situation. He swung Justify at the
ball. but topped his swing, and the ball
rolled slowly along the third base line.
Larry Gardner swooped in on the ball
and made a nice throw to first, but
Gedeon borrowed the speed Of the winds
for the occasion. and beat the throw to
first, Magee in the meanwhile busting
home with the run which tied the score.
l. was nip and tuck from that point
on until the anal inning. Sharkey swept
along az a terrific pace, and Mays swept
right along with him. Neither was IN
serious danger at any time. In the
twelfth inning Carrigan thought he saw
rift in the clouds, and with two
strikes and one ball on Mays, Carrigan
sent Shorten up 20 hit. The last named
had one swing left, and he took it and
then sat down.
Vean Gregg and Sam Jones divided
the labors In the thirteenth. Hartzell
and Msgee walked 10 open the last inn
ing. and Gregg received notification
that his days work was done. Jones
went in.
Maisel sacrificed Hartzell and Magee
along, and Baker was passed with NAL
ice aforethought The plot was cum
ningly laid, for Gedeon hit to Janvrin
for what should have been a double
play, but Janvrin hurled a throw into
right field on which Hartzell and Mageo
romped home, while Baker and Gedeon
found resting place on third and sec
ond, respectively. Pipp singled 20 right
and they both skipped home.

GIANTSPOSSESS
ALBIS IN PLENTY
Home Runs and Bad De-
cisionS Have Brought
Many Defeats.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

There are two sides to every ques-
ton, the same as a plank. You know
one reason why the Giants have been
losing-ragged pitching, dumb base
running and miscues at highly crucial
epochs. But to believe those toiling In
Giant harness there are other reasons
that have caused hard hitting, hard
fighting ball club to drop eleven out Ct
thirteen games. Il was 70 discover
these reasons that we invaded the
Giant camp to get their side Of the
melancholy controversy.
The Giants freely confess TO ragged
pitching and to sins of commission,
omission, permission and whatever mis-
sions there may be left-even foreign
missions if you insist upon it.
But they also point 10 number OF
CHASTITY breaks that have harassed them
as no other ball club was ever harassed
before within three weeks. Here are a
few important points they bring to
light:
/. That of their eleven defeats, six
have gone into extra stanzas where the
tide Of battle was suspended By thin
hair
.. That in all six extra sessions they
have come from behind by game, hard
hitting rallies to tie up the count.
3. That three home runs beat them
out of three games where fortune fig
ured in these respects. % The hrst
one in the Philly game was caught by a
spectator leaning out from the rlght
field seats when Roush was waiting TOR
- u D. L. H. H. .t.af1 d a
ball was, therefore, dead, with the bat
ter only entitled to the base he was on.
20 In two other cases home runs came
after bounding back from the top pier
and from an iron pipe, when the rule
had Just been changed after having
stood the other way for five years. II
was changed at President Teners re-
quest.
I. That three ball games were lost
largely by George Burns, the best all
around outfelder in the league and a
man who rarely errs. Briefly, they fig
ure that where bad ball playing has
cost them five or six defeats that
greater steadiness could have won, TIE
others came from unseemly luck. They
cite another instance in the case OF
Mathewson's defeat where, with VIII
holt trapped several feet from the bag
in the first round and tagged out by
Merkle, he was called safe. So, instead
of winning 10 3, as they would have
done before the last half of the ninth
was in order, they were beaten to 6 10
ten innings.
There is a good bit in the Giant con-
tention. For while they were losing
the other clubs were not always get
ting great pitching or playing perfect
ball. In the course of their home stay
the Giants have shelled from the
mound such pitchers as Nap Rucker,
Sherrod Smith, Rube Marquard, Larry
Cheney, George Tyler and George
Chalmers. They have peeled off from
eleven to sixteen hits in all but two
of their home games, and one Of these
two, an eight-hit affair, they won.
