CURB DISPLAYS FIRMNESS
DESPITE LIGHT TRADING
IndustriaIs Divide Activity HOnOrs
With the Oils.
(By Thomson & McKinnon)
BM Nnited Financial

By United Financial
NEW YORK. July 3.-Despite the
pre-hilding slackening of trading
which crept into the curb during the
afternoon, the list as a whole showed
f7rmness. The opening was strong
and stocks registered some fair gains
in the early turnover, industrials
dividing the initial activity with the
Cfls.
Later irregularity developed and is
sues which had put fair gains be-
hind them were turned back. However
others took up the burden of the adj
vance and moved forward briskly. In
stances of this shift were noted in
the slump of Standard Oil Of Indiana
to 541s, after being at 55A, and
Vacuum at 441a, from 46A.
Salt Creek Producers received a lot
of attention in the lower priced class
by declaration of an extra dividend
Of 20 cents a share in addition to the
regular quarterly dividend Of the
same amount.

PORKERS ADVANCE
25 To 40 CENTS
Sharpest Increase of Weeks
Occurs in Local Trade.
Hog Prices Dav nv Dav
The largest single days advance

The largest single days advance
in hog prices in many weeks occurred
in trading at the local stock yards
today when prices for pork on foot
advanced 20 to 40 cents, due chiefly
to urgent shipment for outside ac
count, induced by light receipts at
Chicago and other market centers.
The upturn carried the top price for
a load Of Hampshires to $7.75, as
compared with Mondays top Of $7.35,
while the bulk of the days receipts
of 5000 moved at $3.50 to $7.65. A
few hogs sold early at $3.50, but
trading generally was in a range Of
$3.50 to $40. Sows and pigs both
reflected the advance in the general
market.
A better feeling prevailed in the
cattle market, due to Mondays
strength which resulted from higher
prices in Chicago and light local re-
ceipts. Only 800 cattle were offered
for sale, and quotations were strong
with the supply unequal to the de-
mand.
An advance Of so to rs cents in
the prices for calves carried the prac-
teal top of $12, though a few sales
were reported higher. The bulk Of
today's receipts of 500 moved between
$11 and s12.

DESPITE SETBACK
Fair Class of Buying in Late
Trade BoISterS Prices.
By United Financial

BY Unfted Ftn0ncfdt
CHICAGO, July S.-Despite a
moderate setback late in the session.
grain prices rallied and with a fair
class of buying closed higher on the
Chicago Board of Trade today.
Buying in Wheat continued heavy
throughout the late session with early
sellers showing a tendency to even up
commitments. Export business con-
tinued dull. only 10000 bushels be-
ing reported worked via the Gulf.
Evening process brought some buy
ing in corn and prices advanced as
a result. Southwestern markets re-
ported better demand with feeders
coming into the market.
Oats trading was dull, although
values increased with other grains.
A strong hog market and better
cables caused a firmness in provisions.

Mike McTigue, holder OF the

ion victory over Battling Sikh,
evidently isn't destined to re-

Recently Tommy Loughran of

ed McTigue in an eight-round af-
fair in that city. Prior to that
Loughran had been outclassed
in an eight-round affair with Jen

Smith is a second Packy Nc

Boston Twirler Smohers Yanks-Wilams Now Leads Babe-Pirates Tightening Grip On Second Place Kelly Is Hero of Giants Victory Over Braves

New York. Sept. i2.-There were some minor sensations in .he major leagues yesterday. Howard Ehmke pitched a no run. one hit game against the Tanks. leading Boston to victory 3 to 0: Cy Williams pounded out a pair of homers in philadel- phia's game with the Robins who went down to crushing de- feat II to 8 and Jack Scott shut out the Boston Braves 10 70 0. Pittsburgh defeated Cincinnati 4 to 8 making them a game and a half ahead of the Reds and 51a behind the Giants.
 Ehmke was robbed of the honor of pitching two no hit games In success sion by the awkward bound of sharply hit ball from the stick of Witt, the Tank centerfeider. Howard shanks, the Boston third baseman. was the victim of the crooked hop. But for that Ehmke would have ac- eomplished feat never before re- corded to the credit of any pitcher in baseball history.
 Cy Williams honors came in the seventh and eighth innings and in- creased his home run record for the season to 37, two ahead of Babe Ruth.

 New York, Sept. 12.-No cham pionship in Jack Dempseys career was staged under conditions more ex- traordinary or more. dramatic than his 15-round battle with Tommy Gib- bons. the St. Paul challenger at Shell by, Mont, last July 4.
 Owing to the demands of Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, for the complete fulfillment of Demp- sey's s300,0o0 contract much i'll feeling had been aroused against the titleholder and when he entered the ring he was facing strictly Gibbons crowd.
 As Dempsey walked down toward the ring he was surrounded by five detectives from Chicago, picked men with records as shooters. kearns frankly admits that he had at least eight men armed for the purpose of guarding himself and Dempsey from any violence which might be at- tempted.
 Gibbons proved to be the best de- fensive fighter that Dempsey had ever met, ms cleVerneSS ana eluSlVe- ness saved him from knockout in spite of the champions most deter mined attacks.
 In the opening of the fight Gib- bons could use his speed and his shiftiness, he was at times the master of Dempsey But whenever they fell into clinches which were increasingly frequent, Dempsey mauled and pounded Gibbons in merciless fashion and piled up points.
 Gibbons fought a fast and coura- geous fight for ten rounds. Then he seemed to tire, and lasted until the end almost entirely on his defensive skill It was the first time that any man had succeeded in staying the limit with Dempsey since he became champion.
 The battle was Dempseys first in two years since his memorable con- test with Georges Carpenter in 1921, and his handlers claimed he was not in championship form due to the long ayoff.
