Veteran Marvels At Batting

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O-AmOs Rusie, an idol of baseball fans more than 20 years ago, sat on the side lines at the Polo Grounds during a recent game between the Yankees and White Sox, marvelling in Babe Ruth, whom he declared to be the greatest figure in baseball.
 Its been 19 years since I saw a major league game, Rusie remark ed. "The game surely has taken long strides. Back in, ny day we had sorne beasy ba. none of them could hold candle to Ruth. I refer to Wagner. Lajoie and Ed Delehanty".
 Back in the nineties,. when Rusie appeared at the Polo Grounds, the cheers and the shouting were all for him. The Hoosier Cyclone, they call ed him, for he was considered the greatest right handed hurler in the game. He dropped from the game in 1902 after trying vainly for two years to overcome the handicap of an injured arm. ......
 When Rusie left the game he re- turned to his home in Muncie, Ind. and later went to Seattle, where he worked as laborer. He is past the 50 mark in years and his hair IS gray. He sat unnoticed by players and fans alike, for he was unknown to them.
 Then Kid Gleason, the old man ager of the White Sox, recognized him. They were rivals for pitching honors in the old days. Tin sure glad to see you Amos, smiled Glea- son, seems like old times to see you around" The famous old twirl-: CT returned the greeting and they walked to the White sox dugout arm-in-arm. ..=.. ~.:=
 Although Rusie has not witnessed major league game for so many years he said he had kept up with the game through the newspapers.
 Rusie said he did not approve Of putting a curb on the styles of pitching. Give them a chance to develop. In my time we were not permitted to soil the ball and there were no freak deliveries. We had to depend on speed and fast breaking curves and we had great advan- tage over the batters. The batter of today has the edge, however. The livelier ball and curbing of pitchers are the reasons. This can be carried too far.
 ''The crowds are greater today than at any time. Baseball is now great national institution. The White Sox scandal has not hurt the game much. Judge Landis has offset that black eye"

NEW YORK. June 2s.-Foliowing
q rise OF or points at the be-
ginning Of trading today, Industrial
stocks fell into an irregular trading
era from which numerous issues
emerged at, times in response to
some news or rumor of individual
interest. or in reflection OF the sue
cessful efforts of one OF the con-
tending professional factions. Bear
raiding continued. but in only a
few isolated cases was II able to
retain an advantage for long, each
relapse apparently bringing the
stocks under attack into a position
which aroused constructive traders
to action. This was the trend OF
the market until the last hour.
when pressure was relieved and a
moderate forward movement over a
broad list OF stocks ensued. Rail-

MEXICAN ISSUES
FEATURE MARKET
Advance in Bonds Attributed
To Revival of Sr ;ula-
tive Activity.

NEW YORK. June 22.-The rise
in Mexican government bonds, which
many considered the feature of to-
days market. was due merely to
revival of the speculative activity
which has carried these issues over
an irregular course during recent
weeks. Not long ago they were bid
up on the strength of a report that
the Mexican goernment intended to
pay the July 1 interest and the abil-
ity of the government to meet this
obligation was understood to hinge
On the increase in certain export
taxes. notably that on oil. Today's
rise was accompanied by q report
that the oil tax had been suspended
The real feature of this market
was the rise in Northern Pacific
Great Northern 61Rs, the first pro-
nounced movement since the issu-
ance. For weeks these bonds had
remained at or a slight fraction
above the issue price of s6h. They
never went below that figure and
they never became active. Today
the demand increased and they sold
as high as 97A. compared with 96A
at the close yesterday. This was
a new high price. All the time
the joint 6i2S have been marking
time around their issue price the
supply has been diminishing through
conversion into the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern bonds which
are available for savings banks IN
some States. Tidewater Oil 6hs
sold up to SAY. compared with a
previous sale price of s3K. Sew
eral other; bonds bearing high cou-
pom rates showed a tendency to ad-
vance. while old issues moved ir-
regularly. Foreign issues were
slightly lower.
A sharp bear in Liberty 3Es az.
fected for a time the other war
bonds of nearby maturity, princi-
pally the Victory AXIS and the third
Liberty f4s. The 31as lost more
than so cents before meeting with

IGNORES
BULLISH REPORTS
Claims of Deterioration and
Dry Weather Forecast Fails
To Check Declines.

CHICAGO. June 2s.-The wheat
market continues to ignore the
bullish crop reports from the north
west with claims OF deterioration
and forecast for dry weather while
the detailed government report said
that warm weather will prevail for
a long period. At the inside fig-
ures prices were off to cents
"s compared with yesterdays fin
ish, and while there was a fair
rally pressure was apparent on all
the hard spots with the country
selling cash wheat freely to arrive,
one house securing 250.000 bushels
on overnight bids. Sentiment gen.
orally has become bearish due to
the failure of. the market to re-
spond to the bullish news. Export
Hemand is reported as slow with
Belgium securing $50, 900 bushels on
overnight bids. Premiums on red
winter were 3a4 cents lower. while
at Kansas City prices were 2a1
cents lower on hard. Dry weather
reports, from France. Rumania and
Argentine are being ignored, the
ccoro:nic conditions being the main
factor in the market.
Corn and oats prices dropped to
within a fraction of the inside fg-
ures for the season on the Septem-
ber with December corn at a new
low. Outside support was lacking
with the break being checked by
buying by holders of bids. Cash
demand slow with offerings in the
sample market selling at slight
ly wider discount under the July.
Talk of a railroad strike on July
had some influence. although there
are Indications that IL a strike Is
called IL would be confined to the
shop men. Crop reports on corn
remain favorable. although there
has been general relief from dry
weather in the central West.
