NEW YORK. August Bond prices

generally was on small scale. This
was particularly true of the "over-

the transactions took place on the
exchange.
In view of the doubt over the for

th is d good time for a vacation. There
were. however, few Interesting in
cidents, one OF which was a drop of
nearly two points in Illinois Bell Tele-
phone 5s Closing last night at 9oA
they sold at ?3l. before noon today
on large transactions. What happen
ed was simply that the syndicate was
closed last night. The decline in price
has no relation to the security or to
business conditions. but incidents like
these make an unfavorable impress
sion upon investors, who bought IN
good faith at the offering price.

Len0re Tells Formula Of
Keeping Up Win : XIX.

~ o keep the original charm
and sparkle in q character
one has played for $50 con-
secptive performances is one OF
the most difficult problems a
player may be called upon to face.
SO when Lenore Uric achieved this
milestone as Kiki in David Be-
lasco's production of ''Kiki," Fri
day night in the Belasco Theater,
New York, the question was put to
her as to the method by which she
accomplishes this much-desired
effect.
''I always make it point TO re-
gard a part at every performance
as though / was about to play it
for the first time," declares Miss
Uric. There is certain attrac-
tiveness about new role, If one
is in sympathy with it. that makes
a player give of his, or her best.
and it Is this spirit I endeavor to
retain each time / assume it.
"If I could not feel a real intc--
est in role it would be impossible
for me to portray it, for the vital
spark that makes it ring true

Smith and McGraw could not
agree. Heavy fines assessed against
the catcher could not change his
habits.
Smith insisted upon breaking
training rules and engaging in many
arguments with the director of the
champions.
Joining the Braves, Smith changed
his tactics. He has caught practical
ly all of the games for the past two
weeks, was placed in sixth position
in the batting order, has hit around
a 400 clip and although the Braves
have been unable to fall heir to a

The National League always has

Moran, George Gibson and others
have been at the top.

wonders with a ball club that IL
more or less a minor league affair,
it is practically certain that he will
retire at the close of the season.

to Boston. Already from st. Louis
