Harlem Club Coach Says

The question Of how 20 stimulate IN

slors "Scullsr's Row" on the Harlem
River. Although the game is flourish

country. notably in Duluth 1t is al

Lack Of proper facilities is respon-

This il the opinion Of JACK Nsgle'

Fast Flying Finn Bests
Field of 80 Harriers
in MiIIrose Chase
By A. c. CAvAGNARO

Villar Kyronen, the little Finn OF the
Millrose Athletic Association, proved
his right TO the title of marathon king
Of the United States yesterday, when
he defeated a field of thirty-tvo ath-
letes in the tenth annual running of
the Mercury Athletic Club over its
Yonkers course. kyronen never ap-
peared to run better in his life, being
contender at all stages.
However, il was not until the last
seven miles OF the journey that the
Finn deemed it time TO move forward
and head the field. The remainder Of
the way was romp for him, as he
won by more than a full mile, apparent
~ not used up much by his hard race.
His time was 2:5l :5s 2-5.
Following in second place was Sid
uey S. Hatch. Of Chicago, q hero of
twoscore and two years of long dis
lance running in the West, who found
himself unable TO keep up with Ky
ronen. Hatch crossed the finish line
almost nine minutes behind the win
ner. while in third place came James
Brooks, of the Mohawk Athletic Club,
who ran a commendable race.
An Additional Mile
Although the distance was scheduled
for only twenty-five miles, the athletes

the starting point at the intersection
of Central and Yonkers avenues, the
pack sped for the Empire City race
track, where nine miles of the grind
was covered.
The runners had TO contend with bad
conditions around the one-mile circuit.
While the track, facing the grandstand,
vas in fairly good condition, the run
ners had to wade through almost four
inches Of mud on the backstretch.
Many contestants were compelled TO
take an involuntary fall.
Fifteen miles we're later covered GO

These reports became so insistent

Rov Scents Return.

The Boy Scouts have returned
from their nine days camping trip
at Bolair on the Gauley river. Every
one of them reports the best time OF
his life. Thirty went from Clarks-
burg and were joined by twenty-sev-
en- at Weston. Fifty-seven boys made
a large camp. Fortunately they re-
turned with the same number OF
boys with which they started. the
Rev. Earl Brooks, of Weston, joined
the camp on the second day. He Is
a past master in all questions per-
tanning to camp life. The time was
spent in making short hikes, in ma
ture study, in reading aloud books
In fishing, in swimming, in sitting
about the evening campfire, singing,
cheering and listening to stories and
talks, in sleeping on pine boughs, IN
chopping trees and in waiting for the
dinner whistle. While there was not
a great variety of food served, there
was plenty of it though boy is al
ways hungry in the woods. The total
expense outside of the railroad fare
was fifteen cents a day for each boy.
A few extras were provided. For
milk every day, for bunch of ba-
nanas and for ono chicken dinner the
boys are grateful to the men of the
McClelland Bible class.
There was not a single, serious ac-
,ident on the whole camping trip.
Several of the boys learned to swim,
and they came back in better physic-
al condition than they were before
they went. Already the boys are
talking about next years camping
rip.

In an effort to prevent the spread of

RUSSIAN B0URSE
TO REOPEN SOON
Paris Cable Says Trading
at Petrograd Will Be Un-
der Strict Control.
By YVES GUYOT.

Paris, Sept. 25.--Stock market
conditions continue generally favor
able here, particularly in Spanish
shares, American mining stocks and
rubber stocks. French metal stocks
hold firm, especially steel industrials.
On the other hand, Russian stocks
influenced by the weakening in Pc
trograd, have fallen off slightly with
the exception of one or two, whose
dividends have been raised. The re
opening of the Petrograd Bourse
now has been decided on, but opera
tions will be subjected to strict gov
ernmental control, more severe than
that before the war, through the
participation of the Minister Of
Finance in Bourse affairs.
Careful calculations made on the
war loan about to be issued show
that it produces slightly less for the
investor than the 1915 loan. The
former loan gave 5.SS per cent, while
the new one gives 5.83. The diff
ference is not great, but it is symp-
tomato of the general situation in
France, which is most encouraging
when the government can put out a
second big war loan to pay less than
the first.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-26

Only three railroad stocks are
higher than they were in 1915. One
is nominally higher. Union Pacific
is Ga points higher. Reading is the
big exception, with an advance of
27$s points, but Reading is not a
barometric railroad security. 1t
moves uniquely, in an orbit of its
own. The industrial group of seven
is entirely made up of the stocks of
companies that have heavily partici-
pated in war contracts, and yet four
arc lower than they were in 1915. If
Steel common were taken away, the
comparison would be very unfavor-
able to the present. There is left
the copper group, and the rise there
is less than one might have guessed.
In Anaconda, in which speculative
interest has been more solicited re-
Gently than in any other, the rise over
the high point Of last year is only
rs points. In Inspiration and Utah
it is more. In the others 1t is dis
proportionate TO the amount Of bull
ish comment" expended on copper Sc
curities in the last few weeks. The
speculation that has been so the
atrical in the last few weeks, there
fore, is seen to have been confined
TO very few things, mainly TO Steel
common and the copper stocks. The
rise in copper shares partakes some.
what Of the nature Of deferred ap-
probation. They never went as high
in 1915 as their earnings and tradi-
tions would have seemed to warrant.
AS for Steel common, it represents
above anything else that kind of real
ity Of which everybody was fully
aware, yet knew not how to believe.
Its earnings became suddenly pre-
posterous. When the stock was 80
you could prove that it ought TO be
selling at par or at 100, but you
could not imagine it rising like that.
II it had been something like Beth
lehem Steel, yes; but United States
Steel common was thought Of as a
massive thing, ponderous in its
movements, incapable of velocity be-
cause OF its bulk. What people had
forgotten was that the factor Of
mass in this stock was the same as it
had been for thirteen years, whereas
all the other factors required to i'm
part momentum had enormously in
creased.
