MOST BROTHERS IN
BASEBALL PERFORM
At SAME POSITIONS
There Are the Barnes
Boys, the Meusels and
the Blankenships.

Several brother teams will grace ma
Jor league clubs this year. 1t is a
rather strange coincidence that in most
cases the brothers shine at the same
position.
The New York Giants have Virgil
and jess Barnes. both good pitchers.
The veteran jess. when he has his
curve ball working. is almost unbeat-
able. Virgil is one of the promising
youngsters OF the major leagues.
Then there are the MeuSelS. Irish
and Bob. Irish" is rated by John
Nhctiraw as one of the most valuable
0utfielderS in the game. Bob. who
has even more ability but far less am
bition. shines in the outfield for the
New York Americans.
The Chicago White Sox present the
Blankenship boys. Both are pitchers.
Ted made good from the very start
last season. and when asked by Kid
Gleason if he knew of any other good
pitchers in Texas. replied that his
younger brother was some thrower.
Whereupon Gleason signed Homer.
The passing of Doc Johnston from
the Philadelphia Athletics breaks up
Il brother combination that has per-
formed in the big leagues for years.
Jimmy Johnston has played much good
ball for Brooklyn. The JohnstonS are
infielders. Doc holding down first
while Jimmy. although much shifted
about, has done his best work at third.

BOND MARKET WEAK
High Grade Issues React; Liberty
Bonds Make New Lows.

New York. March 27.-With the
spectre of higher money rates over
hanging the market and the continued
reaction in stocks, bonds were de-
terday, and the most disturbing fea-
ture was the fact that each success
sive decline failed to stimulate any
interest on the buying side.
All the United States government
issues were down, and all except the
3 lbs made new lows for the year.
Trading was on larger scale than
in some time. Quotations for time
funds were firmer.
The most notable loss recorded to-
day by a high grade issue was sus-
tanned by u. $. Steel sinking fund

points below the high of the year
and new low for 1923.
Losses were recorded by both
high grade and speculative securities.
Examples of the former were Norfolk
and Western Is, the Bell Telephone
Of Pennsylvania rs. The speculative
section was even more reactionary.

New York, March s7.:-Price
movements at times were pretty. much
mixed in today's stock market, but
from the start there was visibly less
selling pressure. Seeing this, pools in
some of the industrials took hold of
their specialties again and a good deal
of short covering occurred in the gem
eral list.
Railway shares were not favored.
owing to the disappointing showing in
the February traffic returns. In its
optimistic mood Of a month ago the
Street was sure that the New York
Central dividend would be for any
thing but the regular declaration at
the meeting scheduled for Wednes-
day. New York Central stock was
heavily sold in the early trading, but
rallied later.
The California Petroleum followed
the lines anticipated but any good
lines in market sense evidently had
been well discounted. Marland and
Phillips did the best of any of the
oil stocks.
Shipping stocks were strong for a
time under the lead of American In
ternational.
