UPWARD MOVEMENT
TAKES IN GREATER
NUMBER OF STOCKS
Speculative Realizing .Ac-
counts for Some
Declines.
BY STUART +. WEST.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light.
New York. Sept. 6.-The stock ex-
change movement pursued more IT
regular course today. but most of the
time prices were inclined upward and
the improvement took in greater
number of issues.
Professional traders were responsl'
bic for the upbidding in such groups
as the steels, the railway equipments
the can shares and in specialties like
the silk stocks and Dawson Chemical
Where rccessions occurred they rep
resented chiefly speculative realizing
while the stimulus given TO the adj
vance was ascribed largely TO shor
covering.
1t was the opinion of the more op'
timistic traders that American inter
csts will benefit from the demand by
japanese for materials to rehabilitate
the area laid waste and TO provide
other necessities for her stricken
people. The opposite view was that
the world at large would feel the ct
fects of the vast destruction of cap
ital.
In the Meantime. the stock market
remained unsettled with periods OF
strength sufficient TO keep it the cen
ter Of interest.
The steel shares absorbed much o.
the attention from the outset VITA
a sharp run-up in Gulf States Steel,
accompanied by rising prices in Other
independent steel concerns.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light
Chicago, Sept. 6.-Cattle and hog
runs were normal today but the
sheep supply went far above the ex-
pected number. Totals show little
drop from the four day period last
week. but values fell from the levels
noted at the close Of last weeks trade.
About 200 sheep were received by
big killers from other trading points
while no cattle or hogs arrived that
way. 1t rained during the early
hours. delaying the trade somewhat,
but the market showed fair action
later. Sellers had more than 2O,OO0
hogs held over from yesterday and
here the trade was lower. Receipts
were 10000 cattle; $1,000 hogs; H.
600 sheep and 5000 calves.
Cattle trade was late TO start, but
there was fair demand later in
the day and medium and palmer steers
had fully as good action as that
found for choice lots. Few steers were
good enough to reach above S11.5O,
but top lots were quotable Mt S13.
Hogs were down 10 10 20 cents
after the first rounds. All grades
shared in the decline. One lot of
prime light hogs sold at S0.3j. but
practical top was placed at S9.2'>
Lambs were steady TO strong while
aged muttons were weak.

FANS CAN EXPECT TO
SEE LEONARD TRYING
FOR KNOCKOUTS NOW
Mendelsohn First Victim;
Dundee Affair ApPar-
emily Off.
BY FAIRPLAY

DOWNRIGHT. by the san Antonio Light.
New York. Sept. 6.-Benny Leonard
will appear at the Phillies' ball park
Friday against John Mendelsohn OF
Milwaukee. 1t was on the cards that
Benny was to have appeared with a
decision over Johnny Dundee TO his
credit. But that plan went fleoey.
Benny probably will be real rough
with the Milwaukeean since I would
seem that his business instincts wouldS
suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of a few
knockouts from now on.
The public is getting fed up on
no decisions and bouts that go the
limit. The man that draws is the
man who puts his opponents to sleep.
Leonard won't be lonely at Phil
adelphis. He will have plenty OF
Glossy company. For no less than two
other champions will appear upon the
same bill. Joe Lynch will meet young
Montreal and some interest will be
displayed in the way the bantam
weight titleholder works out against
the clever Rhode Island bantam.
Then Gene Tunney will exchange
fisticuffs with Jack Burke, Dempsey
sparring partner. Burke may pull
surprise on Tunney. For he is
fighting fool and the champion told
the writer out west that he had great
expectations of this boy. He has no
fear and steps in with good will. He
can hit. too. Tunney had been out OF
the ring long time and his inactivity
may he found to have told upon him.
In the meantime. the Leonard
Dundee plans seem TO have definitely
floppcd. Dundee clustered before the
New York commission "Wednesday but
he hadn't foot TO stand on in his
declaration that he would claim the
lightweight championship if he didn't
meet Leonard. The commission point
cd out that Promoter Johnston had

dee signed with him. TO call off the
fight il either of the princinals met
defeat before IL was held. The COM
mission then logged Dundee's mem
ory in cruel fashion regarding the
trimming be took from Eddie Wagner
in Philadelphia the other night.
Dundee said he would answer FRI
day whether he intended to accent the
promoters offer TO hold the fight Sep
tember IS. but he shouted about after
the commission meeting that he had
absolutely no intention OF going
through with the match. LeonSrdS
manager. Billy Gibson, agreed to the
poStponement date.
1t develoned at the commission meet
ing that the contest was likely to
meet with disappointing PATRONAGE
and that tae promoter stood to lose
several thousand dollars had the fight
been held Wednesday night.

got to win everything IN a series and
then two or three series more.
If either Cincinnati or Pittsburg

TO beat the Giants out of the cham

Possibly the Giants are feeling the
taunts OF the spectators at the Polo
Grounds. With all the fine champion

ers belonged to a despised visiting
team TO hear the comment from the

the idosyncrasies of the fans.
High of Brooklyn played third base
and accepted twelve chances againsr
Philadelphia. He could not quite equal
the National League record, but when
third-baseman gets up TO twelve he
is minor baseball immortal. Two
third-basemen have made wonderful
marks this year, Bluege with his IL

players and not cash. Mack did not
have players to give. Who has?
Neither Boston club. that's certain.
Nothing in Brooklyn. Nothing in Phil

Nothing in st. Louis. Nothing in Gin

DEMPSEY INSTRUCTS

Saratoga Springs, n. ". Sept. g.
Jack Dempsey wants to be stretched
on the resined floor of the ring, with
n referee swinging count over HIM
when his time comes to pass into the
ranks of beaten champions.
He revealed his wishes today when
he told Jack Kearns. his manager,
that no matter what happens in his
championship battle with Luis Angel

from tomorrow night. he does not
want a towel thrown into the ring as
a token of defeat. even If he is stag

others who will be in my corner
Dempsey said. Il want to be flat on
my back when my time comes to
take it, No towels to be thrown
into the ring for me. I'm going ont
fighting, without any dispute about
finish"
The champion. judging from his
mental attitude. however. is not
worrying over the result of the coming
battle. He laughs and jokes With
his camp associates and shows none
of the nervous irritability character
istic of him weeks before previous
battles.
Dempsey boxed six fast rounds
yesterday. displaying astonishing
speed in foot-work and boxing.
George Godfrey, big negro. con-
tinually stuck left labs into Demp-
sey's face in an effort to keep him
out of range. Dempsey, however.
