Chips and Slips

Jess Barnes has been playing big
part in the present series for the
Giants Although he has not started
single game, he has credit for win
ming two games. Barnes came to the
rescue Of Toney or both occasions
when Toney was started, and checked
the hard hitting Yankees, while his
team mates were pounding out enough
runs to win the game.
Harper did not fare much better
than did Toney in Tuesdays game, last
ing only two rounds, when he was
driven to the showers after three
Giant runners had crossed the plate,
tieing up the score. Two of them
were home runs

Citizens who nave been held up by

TOday's market was a fairly good one,
although it was to great extent pro-
fessional. Commission houses were not
particularly active, while the professional
elements were still disposed to reduce
commitments, and were fair buyers of
many of the leading issues. The offer
ings became a little freer later in ses-
sion.
Peoples Gas was one of the striking
features of the market. This issue has
been responding to DIFFERENTIATION that
has been in evidence for some time, and
in common with many of the public serv-
ice corporations, with their troubles
largely in the past, have brighter flu
ture
