STOCK MARKET

New York, Aug. Wall street 10:So a. m.-Stocks relinquished at the ir- regular opening of today's trading much of the buoyancy which marked the final hour of yesterdays session. Leaders including U. s. Steel, were hesitant on slightly reactionary, while specialtles in the several groups rep resented by Baldwin Locomotive and American Can, Tobaccos and Ofls, were lower by large fractions to a point. The only noteworthy move ment among rails was the decline of a fraction in Baltimore 6 Ohio.
 Noon-Trading during the morning was fairly active but the increase over the previous day was largely at the expense of prices. Profit taking, in- duced to an extent by the attitude of the Federal Reserve Bank regarding credits, contributed to the set back. Prominent industrials extended their losses to a point or more, tobaccos
 were under greater pressure and ship pings also reacted. The irregular rally at midday was led by U. s. Steel, which recovered much of its decline. Columbia Gas and Ohio Gas were ex- | ceptionally strong. Liberty $ again
 sold at par.

 Marketing of wheat in the West is having the effect of raising bank bal ances, and it is expected that a big response will come from the agricul- tura1 districts to the next campaign for the Liberty Loan. The splendid June quarter earnings statement of U. s. Steel took the Street by surprise. showing, as it did, returns at the an nual rate Of about 30 per cent. after taxes. It is inferred that U. s. Steel common will continue-to pay this year the regular and extra dividends 1t has been disbursins. The position of the company is a strong one physically and financially.

NO FUNDS AVAILABLE

At the meeting of the Common Council held last evening resolution was presented asking that Federal street be macadamized within 30 days. Alderman MacFaydep, chairman of the committee on streets and side walks, stated that there is no money to be spent for macadam roads and streets. He said that it was the Board of Apportionment's fault be- cause they granted but S6,50O for wa ter bound macadam this year and this sum has already been spent except enough to build a roadway into the new isolation hospita1.

Protesting.

"He doth protest too much" has be-
come a classic expression FOR 1ndlcat-
ing a mans insincerity. ACTIONS speak
louder than words" is the way an old
English poverbs puts it. Good win
needs no bush" is another way of put
ting the fact that when a man really
has something worth while there is no
need for him to stand on his hind legs
and shout about 1t. So when we see
above stores a sign advising the pub
lie that the auction sale within Is gen.
uine, or find the dodgers on our front
porch telling of the exclusively new
features Of the circus about to come
to town, or read in the paper that a
certain pubic speakers audiences are
| unusually large, why, we draw our own
conclusions. The genuine sale needs
no such sign, the really bully circus
needs no such advertising, the actual
ly crowded auditorium needs no such
reading notice. 1t Is reported that DR..
Jowett, who had just left New York
for England, enjoyed larger congrega-
tions than any other regular preacher
in New York City, not excepting even
Henry Ward Beecher, and that more
than once more than a thousand peo-
Pile have been turned away from regu-
lar SERVICE But did you ever see it SO
advertised in the papers?
Some years ago a noted New York
politician said with a grandstand
flourish, Il am a Democrat" But that
did not make him such. He was simp-
ly playing to the galleries, and was i
good enough politician to understand
that you can fool some of the, people
all of the time. So the man who pro-
claimed himself loudly to be Demo-
crat has enough followers and others
! who took him at his face value and
returned him to office. On the other
hand, the real Democrat, he who
worked night and day for the party
and was always on his job, received
no such notice and no plums. But
| which was the better Democrat? Now
we have come on days when what
man is counts for far more than what
he says although he ought to be care
| full even of what he may say. But
when his patri tism Is of the kind that
| he feels it is necessary to shout about
| it, 1t is time to make an. inquiry, ON
general principles. It's a good deal
! like whistling to keep ones courage
up. Waving the Stars and Stripes, ana
| singing The Star Spangled Banner"
| hardly sufIices to make one a patriot
| today And som etimes he who waves
| the hardest and sings the loudest needs
watching. The best way to stifle q man
who Is shouting Amen" at the top OF
his lungs in a revival meeting Is to
| shove under his nose a subscription
paper for foreign missions.

CHAMPIONS HOLD
FIRST TRY0UTS
Yesterday at Sheepshead Bay
Track for HarknesS Han
dicap to Be Held Thursday

Louis Chevrolet is ready So are
Ralph DePalma, Dario Resta, Barney
Oldield, Ralph Mulford, Ira Vail,
Tommy Milton and the other star
drivers who will compete in the
Harkness Handicap at Sheepshead
Bay Speedway on Decoration Day,
next Thursday. All of these wizards
the lesser lights, got their first real
workout at the seaside two-mile oval
yesterday, in preparation for the big
gest race of the year, valued at $780,
900.
Chevrolet will start from scratch
in the 10o-mile classic. The handi-
caps of the other drivers will be an
nounced today by Fred ]. Wagner,
the veteran race official, who will also
leap and the Futurity Handicap
which will precede the big race
Wagner has been considering the re-
quests of DePalma, Resta, Oldfeld
and Mulford to also be placed on
scratch with Chevrolet. 1t is not
known how Wagner has decided, for
Chevrolet holds the track record for
100 miles, and for that reason is en-
titled to hold the place of honor.
Another star driver has joined the
list of entrants in the person of Eddie
Hearne, who finished third in the
Harkness Gold Trophy race last Sep
tember. Hearne was prominent
figure in Vanderbilt Cup competitions
several years ago. and is now regard
ed as one of the best speedway driv-
ers in the world.
Promoter William II. Wellman Is
having the entrances and gates OF
the Speedway reconstructed SO as TO
permit 100000 people passing into
the stands without congestion. The
heavy advance sales justifes the pro-
moter in thus providing for the ac-
commodation Of a record crowd.

ACCIDENT STARTED
BROWN TOWARD FAME
NIordecai Brown is Now Through as
Baseball Star.


Baseball Star.
Three-fingered Mordecai Brown,
former star of the old Cubs, and rec
ognized at one time as one of the
greatest pitchers who ever worked
for big league baseball club, is all
through now as great star.
AS a baseball romance Browns his
tory stands alone. His rise to fame
as q big Lacquer was meteoric, once
he shook the shackles of the minors
from his feet, but if it hadn't been for
a twist of fate Brown probably would
have gone through the minors third
baSeman.
1t was with Terre Haute, when that
city had a club in the Three-I League
that Brown awakened to the fact that
he was a pitcher. When an accident
happened to a flock of pitchers, he
was requisitioned from third base and
sent into the box, with such effect
that he surprised the natives by win
ming his game.
From that time, Brown was a hurl-
er of class. He never had signed a
contract with Terre Haute, so he sign
ed with Omaha the following season
Pat Donovan, then managing the st
Louis Cardinals, purchased him, get
ting himself into a scrap with Terre
Haute, which still claimed him. The
claim was settled for $500, and short
ly afterward Brown was traded to the
Cubs.
With Chicago Brown remained un-
til he was traded to Cincinnati. He
refused to report to the Reds, and
Garry Hermann made him free
agent when Brown leaped to the Feds
Brown managed the st. Louis Feds
before he finished with big league
baseball and finally drifted to the
Am merican association. His sojourn as
a star was troublesome, brilliant, and
measurably brief, but he leaves rec
crd behind him that will be hard to
couch for years to come. His battles
with Christy Mathewson when Matty
was star of the Giant staff, will live In
baseball history for years to come.
