The reactionary tendency continued
on relatively light turnover and be-
fore 1920 q number of important
stocks had declined a point or two
below Saturdays close, despite the
special resistance offered by Baldwin
and Studebaker. At the end of the
hour prices were little changed from
the levels reached around 1890. That

Preparations question was considered
Encouraging.
Second Hour
The general list was higher at noon
and some leading stocks showed i'm
provement over Saturdays close,
iStudebaker being a fraction higher
after showing support in the early
trading. Apparently the market was
sold to a standstill. To say that it
showed resistance would not be ac-
-curate-there was nothing to resist
as, trading in the second hour was
less than $4,000 shares. one Of the
dullest hours trading Of the year.

Closing Hour
- While the volume Of trading failed
to increase in the last hour, the total
turnover for the day having fallen

BAL |MORE IS LIKELY
TO OBTAIN BIG meet

BALTIMORE, Nd. January H.
There is reason to believe that Bal
timore stands a good chance of land
ing the national intercollegiate in
door championship track and field
games for 1924.
Hopkins is at the head of the move
ment to bring the event to this city
and has the promise of the full CO.
operation o. the Fifth Regiment peo-
pie, who. of course. must be counted
upon to permit the use of the big
Hoffman street armory.s
The local Institution made a bid for
this years games. but was forced
70 see New York once more get the
call. However, in the recent report
of the Amateur Athletic Union COM
mittee, intrusted with this important
detail, the implication was made that
the choice of a site for next year
lies between Baltimore and Buffalo.
Requests for further details con-
corning suitable buildings in the two
cities. their other facilities and the
experience Of the sponsors were made.
DR.. Van Orman, Hopkins director
of athletics. was sanguine in his be-
lief that Baltimore, with the more
suitable hall and the added advantage
of college sponsor. would be award
ed this feature of the indoor track
season for 1924.
The coming of the event to this
city would mean, of course, that the
annual Hopkins-Fifth Regiment
games would be dispensed with. for
that year.

state Of affairs was brought about by the
act of some one not directly connected
with the high schools.
With four of the games OF the

that Western and Central will settle

age the Jersey titleholder consider
ably, perhaps stow him away. Tn
questionably there would be big
money in a fight between the two
men, not only because both are fight
ers, but because of the international
flavor. Lewis. by the way, is no more
popular in England than he was in
this country. They think he is a
wonder over on the other side, but
his grouchy traits have by no means
endeared him to the fans.
