New York. Dec. 16.--There is a lack
of speculative support i'll the bond mar
ket. That is one of the reasons given
for the inactivity and lack of upward
trend shown by the investment markets
not only this week but for a month
past.
Neither investors nor traders are
buying bonds with the expectation of
capital appreciation except in the case
Of a few speculative issues. Stabilized
prices discourage trading. This condi-
tioB is apt to continue until the new
year and the course of the market after
that date will depend on "A number of
factors.
First aud foremost is the European
situation and the relation thereto OF
our own government. Ii has been the
fashion among stock market spectators
to minimize the importance of Ameri-
cas- foreign trade. Grain powers and
grain spectators know better. The
price of OUT cereals is fixed in the
world markets. and unless Europe il
able to pay the price. the American
farmer will suffer. and the country
cannot permanently prosperous without
a prosperous and contented emphasis
on agriculture.
Roads Bear Expense
Just now the railroads are bearing
the brunt Of the attack by the repre-
sentative of agricultural agents in con-
grcss. The campaign for lower rates
is being actively pushed. The inter
state commission is now
hearing argument on an application fer
lower charges on agricultural products.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace testi-
fled the other day that unless the
railroads reduced rates there would be
a general REIMBURSEMENT of industrial
and agricultural production in the
States.
The relation from farming interest
more insistent every day.
Probably the only letup in this connec-
ton a result from a substantial rise
the price OF farm products, particu-
arly grain. And unless the general
European situation improves, no such
is probable.
The week has been marked By more
less contradictory reports as to the |
mentions of the administration at
i'll connection with its |

very much against that. To put the
stunning effect into a blow the drive
of the body from the legs or the knees
must go into the punch. And the
wrestler, at home on the ground. would
take his hold and do his work with his
head tucked down out Of danger.
1t would be an easy thing for Lewis,
having a toe hold. to break Dempsey y
ankle. or his leg. and what wrestling
Dempsey knows would hardly save him.
At any rate, once on the ground, box
ing would be of little use to the cham
pion. Then he'd be playing the other
man game, n al Il great disadvan-
tage.
Dempsey only chance to deliver r.
blow at all would be to hook downward
at the back of Lewis head as he dived
IN: A well delivered blow of that sort
might be n Knockout. But If il failed
he might not have time to get away
from the g%rappler's hands.
Boxing More Valuable Art
Ii Lewis wanted to, be could work
entirely on his hanGs and knees where
he could scramble around in lively fash

sey down with, and be entirely below a

The announcement by Jack Dempsey
that he has been made a propositio,
for a mixed match" with Stranger
Lewis, the wrestler. and has accepted
is very good advertising for the de-
cadent sport of wrestling. Since VIII
liam Muldoon put stringent regulations
on wrestling in New York, intended to
make taking difficult if not impossible,
the mat game has been practically
down and out in the metropolis. Ii
needs some kind of a boost to keep il
alive.
The published statement that Lewis
will be willing to wager $4,000 on
himself and make the match with
Dempsey on a winner-take-ali basis.
isn't d boost, under modern conditions.
There Is a strong sentiment against
gambling on professional events every
where, and the betting proposition

fight, with some Of the rules ignored
| with bare knuckles, would not BE-
tolerated anywhere in America.
London prize ring rules have ne,
been used in this country since John
l.. Sullivan was worlds champion. Even
in Sullivan's time prize ring contests
we're strictly Illegal, and championship
fights were held in the woods. the
fighters and spectators lodging the
sheriff to find Il place to fight, and
the principals often arrested after
ward.
Prize fighting is entirely different
from boxing. In the latter sport padded
gloves are used. wrestling throws are
barred and other brutal features have
been eliminated.
4 private mixed match between
Dempsey and Lewis would be out of
the question. as the promoter couldn't
very well afford to pay the big purse
demanded unless he had gate receipts
Of over half 4 million dollars. Sup
pose a public match were possible.
What would happen?
First. if Lewis would stand up and
meet Dempsey face to face he would
probably he knocked out in a few Sec
onds. The three blows that finished
Fulton in less than d quarter of q min
ute of boxing would drop Lewis just as
easily. Wrestiers don't develop the art
of taking punches on the chin. In
stead of going back with the punch, as
a boxer does, they stsffen their necks
and take it.,
Wrestlers develop strong. stiff mus
cles through hours of heavy straining.
A boxers muscles are loose and supple
and quick. This is one reason why
several first class wrestlers who have
tried to become boxers-Frank Gotch
among ~them--have failed entirely
But Lewis wouldn't be foolish enough
to stand up to Dempsey. He would
plan a battle especially designed to off
set Dempsey's boxing skill and hitting
power. He would crouch low and dire
at Dempsey's ankles before he came
within hitting range. Dempsey would
be forced to side step quickly to save
himself. for if the wrestler n c got
his hold the match would be over.
Hard to Punch When Down
The boxer might be able TO 60 to the
and strike a blow heavy enough to
stun his rival, but the chances would be

the problem of catching the attention
OF the a n but has made an appeal to
the newspapers themselves through a
tehder spot. The average club owner
mas become SO accustomed To having
the newspapers advertise his games
gr~atuIteusiy that he has fallen into the
habit of forgetting to do it himself, ex~
cept ~perfunctorily and so inconspicu-
ousiy that a careful search sometimes
IS necessary TO find a baseball ad in a
strange city.
More Than Passes Needed
For all the boosting given his BUSH
ness the average club owner thinks a
free hand with newspaper passes is all
the return required. regardless of the
fact that a great many newspaper
owners and publishers have not the
slightest personal interest in profess
sional baseball. Hapgood's daily boosts
for his team run into money in a season
and make a noise on Il newspapers
books that interests even the publisher
who never saw a ball game. They also
interest the fans and create an impulse
that leads frequently to the turnstile.
The cost of the thing will stop Il lot
OF baseball ~magnates, big and little. for
they will have to be forcibIy shown the
need of better advertising to believe it,.
Inability 10 produce copy like Hap
goods will stop a lot mare who might
grasp the wisdom of the idea and try
TO adopt it. For it takes more than
managerial or secretariai ability TO
write an ad that will compel folks to
read it. Without u punch in it, it would
be Il waste of money and good white
paper. Hapgood wrote baseball many
years before he was drafted into the
end of it in Boston, and per
he has created a new job for
future baseball scribes,
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-12-17

alone would tend to make such a mattel
impossible.
Betting on baseball. resulting in
crooked games even in the post season
series, resulted in legislation agains,
baseball gambling in several states. and
barring of baseball players in any
league who are found to be identified
with any baseball gambling PROPOSE
ton. For many years wrestling pro-
motors have run big crooked matches
for gambling purposes. There has been
heavy betting on all wrestling cham
pionship events, and very frequently
the public has been trimmed in we'll
planned fakes.
MuIdoon After Gamblers
The New York state boxing COM
mission and commissions in other
states have come out strongly against
all public gambling on sporting events.
Under Mr.. Mulieon's ruling, clubs that
DO not prevent betting commissioners
and gamblers from working in the
crowds around the arena will be closed.

manager Of the Rochester club.
lie has been sowing that seed all the
past summer in Monroe county. y. Y,
and the harvest was SO good that folks
connected with the promotion of minor
league outfits in other parts of the
nation heard about it and became Curl
Gus to know more of the details. SO
Hap was asked to make Il speech at
the Louisville session and tell them
about his brand of baseball advertising,
which is something new in the green
diam ond field.
Hapgood's idea is simply to put adj
v~ertisements in the newspapers that
the fans will read and 10 make them big
enough so they can't miss them and
don't need Il guide to find them. In
stead of the p~erfunctory two or q dozen
agate lines. restricted to the names of
the competing clubs. the time of start
ing the game and the price of admission,
the Rochester man sat down TO his
Corona and typed n brief, breezy and
gossipy yarn" tn be printed in type

60 wear old in advance of each home
game.
Essential Information
Il did not omit any essential informa-
ton about ,sno was going to play with
the Stalliugs tribe, when he fan ought
to get to the park o how much it
would cost him to get in. The stranger
in town or the occasional patron would
not have to ask a lot of questions Of
the hotel clerk or the traffic cop after
reading the ad. But the regular rooter
who knew all about the schedule, the
time of game and the location of his
.fayorite seat, would read the thing, too,
out OF curiosity at first, but without
compulsion thereafter. Fer he was
sure to find some interesting bit
Of gossip about the players or the pen
nant race, and IL there was an item of
about the home team, that was in
ad also. And it was neither too
long for the hurried business man, nor
short to convey the idea there was
going to be an interesting scrap at the
ball park in the afternoon unless it
rained too hard.
I am not taking away any hearsay
about this novelty in baseball
Ids because I read them myself. And
( there is anything a man who has
served 80 years in newspaper work
to read, it's an advertisement

a good deal more such financing in
January.
There has also been eager absorption
of tax exempt obligations. This matter
OF taxation has II very vital relation,
to the price of high grade industrial
and railroad securities. Investors OF
large wealth no longer buy taxable
bonds. The demand for these must
come either from institutions or from
the man of moderate means. This
leaves only the current rate for money
rs the determining factor in the price
of many such issues. It is not likely
that high grade first mortgage railroad
bonds will reach the levels attained
back in 1920 when Atchison General

now yield about H. per cent at the
market. aud with the demand limited
