COLLEGE LOST
To N0RMAL|TES
ALMA GUNNERS EACH HAVE
BAD INNING AND TEACHERS
GET ENOUGH RUNS.

The Mt. Pleasant Normals took the
opening game of the season from the
new Alma College aggregation Tues
day, but it was not until after Brooks
and the several other Normal veter-
ans had been given a hearty scare
that the Teachers were able to stow
the game away in the bat-bag with a
score Of 7 to 5.
Due to the cold weather the Alma
hurlers were inclined to be wild, par
ticularly Crittenden, the crack veter-
an, who got himself into a bad hole
in the third inning when he walked
three men. Healthy clouting behind
the free gifts, in the nature of a
single and. double counted three
runs. In the seventh Californian got
into somewhat similar place, three
runs scoring. He allowed only two
hits in the three innings he was in
the box, but they were triples, one
huky, which were punched with a
base on balls and sacrifice fly for
three runs. 1t took three hits, a
single, a scratch allowed by "boner'
and a double to prope the other
counter across in the fourth.
Alma's runs came in the fourth and
sixth. In the fourth Buddy" Ryan
walked. Wright jumped into one Of
Brooks offerings for two sacks.
Johnstons long fly let Ryan score
and Wright went TO third. Wright
cashed on Crittenden's infeld out.
In the sixth Hickerson walked. Ry-
an also got free pass. Hickerson
was out at third on Wright's fielder's
choice. Johnston, after being hit in
the leg and held at the plate by the
Umps, struck out. Crittenden did the
rescue act with a sizzling single to
right, which counted Ryan and
Wright, the hurler going to second on
the throw to the plate on Wright
Shaver leaned against the pill and
Crittenden counted.
The Alma infeld looked good
against the Normal veterans and il
is expected that it will develop into a
speedy one. The hurlers show good
promise as the weather develops and
all in all Alma may prove a trouble
maker in the NJ. |. A. A.

TUC-OF-WAR NOT HELD

The annual tug-of-war between the
Frosh and Soph classes at Alma Col
lege was not held yesterday after
noon as had been expected, the Sophs
having previously had such urgent
invitations to present themselves
elsewhere that not senough OF them
were left to compete against the
Frosh ten.
The visit that the Sophs made was
not made in the graceful charming
way that usually marks the bearing
of College men. In fact they really
hated to make the trip and visit that
they took, and some even objected
strenuously to making the visit. They
simply couldn't help it, however. The
Frosh just overpowered them and
carted them off by truck, but leaving
enough Sophs around to form the
team that was supposed to pull on
the rope at 4:30.

BY STUART 2. WEST
tCopyright, 1922.

New York, March 9.-There was
considerable profit taking on the
curb exchange today and while
there were some periods Of
strength. selling developed in ma dy
issues when higher prices were es-
tablished The low priced shares
were leading features. Columbia
Petroleum, which was traded in for
the first time, was unusually &C
tive and firm. The properties of
the company are located in Okla
homa, Arkansas and Texas. Some
of the low mining stocks also were
in good demand and held firm.
Irregular price changes took
place in the miscellaneous list.
Amalgamated Leather was in fair
demand and about unchanged.
Goldwyn Pictures and other which
have been firm recently were intiu-
enced by realizing sales. Durant
Motor issues were lower, and Phil
lip Morris also went down. Good
year common and preferred, Cen
trail Teresa Sugar preferred, Unit
ed Profit sharing, Swift, Interna-
tional and r. j. Reynolds were
strong, the latter reaching a new
high record for the present move
ment
Profit taking was comparatively
heavy in the oils. Kirby Petrol
cum continued in supply and de
clined sharply and there was some
pressure against Mara caibo.
Gilliland Oil and Atlantic Lobcs
was easier, Standard Oil of In
diana, Mountain Producers and Sal
Creek were firm but advances were
small.

Bond Market
BY STUART p. WEST
tCopyright. 1921

New York, March 9-The bond
market today was very active and
generally strong, Influenced by the
drop in the rate on standing call
loans from III to Az per cent
The Victory 4As touched a new
high when it became known that
the secretary of the treasury was
to receive the present notes on the
exchange for a new issue bearing
the same rate but running four
years. The rest of the United States
war loan group did little, but Mex
lean government As rose over
point on fresh hopes that the nego-
tiations which are proceeding by
telegraph with Mexico City Will
end successfully at any moment.
One of the features of the day,
however, was the remarkable rise
in two of the junior railway issues
in the Ann Arbor As and the
Peoria & Eastern first As and in
come bonds. The strength of these
bonds, which was accompanied by
the advance in their corresponding
stocks, was due to special causes
The street believes that Ann Arbor
will be taken over by the Pere
Marquette and buying on this ex-
pectation explains the recent ad-
vance of the 4 per cent bonds from
around 60 to 65. With Peoria &

! but the losses in the 1925 and in

Cuban railway SIS came down a
point and Chinese IS were weak,
losing nearly two points. Philip
pine Railway fours rose point TO
49h.
In the industrial section, the
features were the Goodyear SIS OF
1041 which rose nearly two points,
to a new high record; the Sinclair
/ Is which equalled their previous
high and the Cuba Can Sugar SIS
which got across 81. The advance
in the Virginia Carolina Chemical
Tvs continued touching 80.
Among the rails the Big FoIr
IS at 80, the New Haven IS across
81, the st. Louis Southwestern cob
solidated As, close to "A, and Sea-

Chicago, March 9.-Wheat devel-
oped a decidedly weak tone about

early that the support for wheat
was purely local and would not be
good enough should any selling OF

tremely nervous during the later
trading, with fluctuations of cent
recorded in response to only mod
crate trading on either side OF the
market. The news was mixed. He

smaller, but as an Offset to this the
wheat belt had a heavy snowfall
and good rains were reported over
most of Texas and parts OF Okla

a broader demand for -four. Local

from the seaboard regarding export
demand Liverpool spot wheat
closed unchanged to l pence lower
and futures 2k pence to 2l2 pence

Chicago, March 9.-Buyers have
been looking for a chance to break

STUDEBAKER.

New York, March e.-The squirt
in Studebaker today was the result
OF buying by people who had some
knowledge of what the annual re-
port, to be made public tomorrow,
will show. From the action OF Stu
debaker it would seem to the out
slider that those working for a re-
action in the motors had failed Ut
their purpose and instead. of get
ting more stock on the decline TO
below 96 had lost stock trying 10
keep their favorite down. Stude-
baker, in its annual report, will
show earnings of better than SIS
a share on the common after
charges of all kinds including pre-
ferred dividends are deducted The
report also will show that the COM
pany sold $1,000 cars in 1921 and
that the record for the first quar-
ter of this year will be $4,000 cars
or at the rate of 100000 cars for
the year. Studebaker has over S.
100000 cash on hand and working
capital is in the neighborhood of
$4,000 900. Taking the figures in
the annual report the book value
of Studebaker common is put at
around $125 q share. The above
figures are basis enough for ru-
mors that Studebaker directors may
decide at the next dividend meeting
in April to declare an extra divi-
dend which will put the common on
SIP basis.
CRUDE OIL PRICES.
Some oil experts say that an in
crease in crude is coming around
the latter part of the month. The
first increase these men expect &c
be rs cents a barrel, with another
increase of an equal amount a few
weeks later. The big oil companies
and some of the smaller indepen-
dents such as Cosden which have
storage capacity have enough
amounts of oil in storage bought a.

trade authorities are predicting {

INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL.

Industrial Alcohol has always
been a mystery stock. It is one
which has an unenviable record for
inspired statements that were mis-
leading and which led to serious
losses by the speculative public.
There seems TO be no doubt, how
ever. that for sometime past reac-
emulation has been going on in
the holdings which were dIstribut-
ed at much higher prices year or
SO ago. The effects OF this buy
ing have been showing in the mar
ket of the last few days.

net profit after taxes, depreciation
and inventory adjustment was
equal to IA cents a share, which
compared with over SIS a share in
1920. However. Chandler has
worked out OF its depression and
cars sold in the first quarter OF
1922 are about twice the number
sold all during 1921. Chandler di-
rectors this week declared the reg
ular dividend and it was before the
meeting that this payment would
BE-, earned in the month of March

MOTOR TRUCKS STOCKS.
The coming to life of the Motor
Truck stocks means only one thing
and that is that the industry is on
the upgrade once more. This is
shown by the fact that the Bosch
Magnetic company, which furnishes
the truck companies with mag
netos, has been getting releases
from the motor trucks concerns in
quantity. Despite the fact that
there is talk that the White COM
pany directors at their meeting tc
be held this week will take ad-
verse action on the dividend, il
is learned that the company is do
( ing a much better business thar
/ for some time past.
