Received by Private

NEW YORK. May 31.-Trading on
the curb exchange proceeded quietly
today. 1t was evident that the un-
derlying tone of confidence which has
characterized the market for the past
ten days had not been impaired.
The upward movement predomi
mated. although operations on the
buying side were confined to carefully
selected stocks and involved no gen.
eral upturn. After midday the mar
ket became dull, but nowhere was
there any weakness to speak of.
The strength in the new American
Locomotive stock was based on ex-
pectations that the dividend rate will,
few months from now, be raised to
Sc annually. Dividends on the old
stock were advanced to $40 from the
prevailing Sc rate, when the new
shares were brought out and placed
on a IS annual basis.

Kirke. Sticking and Christenbury went
strong also with three smackers each.
It was an interesting game to view.
Indianapolis counted three runs in the
first inning and Toledo scored one in
the second and two in the third. The
pitchers then settled and fought out
a mound duel. no more runs counting
until the ninth. when the Hendricks
men braced and put the contest on ice.
Lamar clouted an inside-the park
home run for The Toledo feature. The
Indians gave Hill good support and
did not commit an error. Kelly made
the only Toledo misplay and it helped
the Tribe in the ninth.

For there are two very popular
misconceptions that need correcting.
must confess I was among those
who labored under these particular
impressions.
Regarding Their Reaches
The general idea is that Jack Demp-
sey has the longer reach and also
that he'll outweigh Tommy Gibbons
between fifteen and twenty pounds
when they step into the ring.
But that's all wrong. The truth
is Gibbons has one inch longer reach
than the champion and right now he
is as heavy if not a bit heavier than
Dempsey.
Broadcast placards showing mea-
surements OF the two give figures In
dicating Dempsey's reach is two
inches greater than Gibbons But
they. too. are all wrong. Gibbons
reach is exactly seventy-four inches
from finger tip to finger tip. while
Dempsey's is seventy-three inches.
Tommy's Arms Peculiar
Furthermore. Tommy's arms are so
constructed that he cannot straighten
them out when his reach Is tapped or

There were runners on frat and third when

the runner first wetn to third, and the
batsman reached second before the ball was
brought back into the intield.
What about such play?
THE INTERPRETATION
The ball was foul The runners should
have been setn back to their respective bases
adm the batter made to hit over again.
The definition of fair hit ball says IT
must settle between home and first or homo
and third, or is in fair territory when bound

In this case the ball hit the pitchers box
and then crossed the foul line between third
and home and finally settling in foul terri
